Minecraft

Can we be more careful about building in the sky this time? Coolville had nasty mob spawn problems because of all the shade from floating...things. I think it would be cool to have a floating part but only if it's not going to be like a football field-sized slab of cobble floating in the air cloaking the place in darkness. How about something like floating "islands" of dirt connected by wooden bridges and have like one structure on each island.

the mine under the town is getting so big i think it'd be cool to have a subterranean level to murveton. it would have to be VERY well lit, mind you.

also, i'm so fucking sick of squidhunting for creeper eyes/mouths. aargh

Oh yea, I forgot all about that. Well, that plan is dead. Subterranean would be fine I suppose. As long as it's a long ways underground. I like basements.

I think the best way to keep to a certain grid plan thing is go ahead and lay down streets and blocks. Then put a sign on the lot saying what sort of building would be ideal there (something industrial or something homey or some sort of artsy project, etc).

 

Don't level the land anymore either. I think it's interesting to force people to build with the contours of the hills and shit. It will look pretty cool that way. I mean a flat section is fine but for the surrounding area it would be nice to keep the land at it's natural elevation. Just level off extreme parts of it.

 

 

Agreed. A little less dense and some more planning before building would be good. Old Murvetown can feel a bit claustrophobic. You can take the rail right to that flat bit now. There's an exit either side. Quite a lot of already flat land on the other side of the rail.

I've thought about pre-laying roads, but I was worried it might hinder creativity. In retrospect, this would've been a good idea, because everything is a mess now (which I kind of like). I just remembered why I didn't manage the city very well in the beginning, it's because I was high every single day. But, being high was the inspiration behind building my own city (one time I was baked during the coolville era and walked through Lumpenprols city in my texture pack in 3D. Was great.)

Honestly though, I think if we stick to my rules, the town will look great. I might modify some buildings though to achieve these goals. So, in advance, I'm sorry.

OH YEA, Another Rule. Trees need to be set back farther so their leaves don't go into walkways. Feels very crowded. Wouldn't be a bad idea to put stone slabs surrounding them. Looks nice.

Well how about this, if anybody feels inspired to make some floating island thing they can do it over the adjacent water.

there's a pine plantation just past the library which there's now a road through. i'm going to chop down the pines and relocate the road a bit closer to the shore, because at present it divides an area into a big spot and one too small for development.

also, creeper head is finished!

the mouth needs to be one block taller

DO IT UP

starved to death on the hardcore server, didn't even make it to pete's coords.

i made it to the coords. it was scary as hell. murve gave me some armor and shit. then i logged out because i don't want to take any major risks just yet..

i liked it better before. i think the default creeper face looks like a deadmau5 symbol

which it probly is because notch is deadmau5' number one fan.

lol

Just checking out your castle, couch and it's absolutely amazing.

for some reason I'm not able to log on right now.

haven't felt like building/mining/crafting, basically haven't really felt like minecraft-ing... hopefully i will get back soon, i'm starting to miss the town and i have to stock up on those fish! people need some healthy food up in murvetown yo!

fish market is empty, you lazy bastard.

you have plenty of tips though.

also new spot is TAKEN, pete is making a fantastic sandcastle there.

there's another, smaller new spot just behind it though.

i know and i'm sorry but i'll make it up to all of you! free fish in the next batch!

franklin is consistently fantastic. the frank lloyd wright of the watmm server.

we lit it up, dude. endermen kept raping it.

and now double doors work like they should
