    So finally finished up my little project on Vic's server, now I can go help out with other people's projects

    Here's a few screenshots of my Floating Water Temple:

    An Admin has to give you an Ice Block, which you can break and turn into a water spring.

    Hey vic, you know that hallway at the bottom of the stairs to the underground forest? You know how it has a dead end one way? I plowed through the other side about 5 blocks deep and found:

    Guys, use the persistent inventory.

    Someone already linked it in this thread but it doesn't seem like a lot of you are using it. It really helps. Chests are still useless but you keep your inventory between logouts, which makes it a hell of a lot easier.
    Randel Candygram posted:

    BIG OL' ATTENTION-GRABBING POST!

    PERSISTENT INVENTORY!

    This is by no means a permanent solution, but here it is - client-side persistent inventory!

    If you use this JAR file to open Minecraft, it will save your inventory every few seconds. If you quit and rejoin, your inventory will still be there!

    This does not fix chests, furnaces, or anything like that. It only stores your character's inventory. Crafting slots are also discarded on disconnect.

    It's planned that anyone will do whatever they feel like and there is nothing wrong with multiple servers.

    Mainly for the benefit of not crashing any one server with too many people.

    Fill the top 2 rows of the workbench with planks, then put a stick in the middle slot below it.

    Whoa, Vic's server is laggy as hell right now. Maybe I'll get on tomorrow then.

    Yeah, we found some way to teleport to a new area. It involved jumping down this hole to the blue abyss underneath, killing you, then respawning multiple times while jumping around. You end up in this new area nowhere near the spawn that we're not even sure is on the same map. We all went off in the four directions, and the land gen damn near killed the server, :P.

    Hi5 for getting to mine heaven

    Did it on Zets when I accidentally fell down my own death pit. Confusing as hell, but awesome

    Stupid noob question...

    A few nights back, I made a huge underground waterslide for my son. Basically, I started in a ground-level pond, and dug down. I made it wind around, go through some unlit passages, etc. All the way down to bedrock. I came back up to the surface, saved, quit. Now, I can't find the original entrance anywhere. I eventually dug another passageway down to the end, but the water just seems to "start" in that cavern...there is no passageway from the surface.

    What happened? Could my original tunnel have collapsed somehow? I've seen gravel blocks slide down if you dig out the block underneath them. Do dirt blocks do the same, only delayed for some reason (thus explaining a cave-in)? If so, what triggers that "fall"?

    Sometimes the world gen places sand or gravel with no support. They float like the other blocks until you dig something around them. At that point they realize they should fall, and do so.

    Only sand and gravel are affected by gravity, not sure where your entrance could have gone.

    Prune trees so that only the really big ones grow, then plant saplings on top of those. You can build amazing forests this way. Just keep lava very, very far from it all.

    Yeah, it seemed odd to me, too. Oh, well.

    Does anyone have any tips for building quickly? Aside from "look down, jump, drop dirt" to build a very fast one-block pillar, it takes me a long time to make a decent structure. I've seen videos of HUGE un-supported bridges, and I just can't imagine moving to the edge of a block, looking down, turning around, backing up ever-so-slightly, and placing a new one over...and over...and over again. It would take hours, and be nerve-racking trying to NOT step too far and fall.
