    Well, that's a double post.

    How 'bout that heraldry, huh? Awesome.

    hating a company so much that you would stop playing minecraft sounds ridiculous to me. if the game got changed and you didn't like the way it ended up being and didn't want to play it, that is certainly normal - but hating microsoft this much?

    i am hoping this also means that you research which companies own each other so you can avoid products from the ones that do actual harm in the world?

    I co-chaired the committee that reviewed the recommendation to revise the color of the spawntown banner. We kept it grey.

    I would note that in order to have a banner registered it must have at least 3 layers, so House Plain Blue Background isn't recognized by the College of Heralds.

    PS. The rules are heavily simplified from my original intent. I had started considering the rule of tincture and mandating at least X points of difference before I came to my freakin' senses.

    My only question is who is going to have the giant wang on their banner?

    Also, yes I can easily see microsoft being that stupid. I hope they won't be, but I would not be surprised.

  • intropintrop Registered User regular
    Oh, we got layers for miles. Blue lower chevron with a blue border on a blue background.

    GO HOUSE PLAIN BLUE BACKGROUND.

    So, ocean monuments. Rules to not destroy them so they can be used for fancy new thingy farming?

    I believe we all know that the first rabbit farm on the new map will need to be named, of course, the Bunny Ranch.

    If you guys are interested I can come up with a plan.

    That is what I do tomorrow so I can actually log on and do shit on launch day.

    Regarding ocean monuments, I don't know how many there are on the map (I saw two in my random journeys around) so let's keep them mostly intact (similar to how we do strongholds) until we have a good feel for their commonality.

    Cromarty, that looks great.

    Still don't have an exact launch time for Friday, but probably in the afternoon Eastern Time. Really it depends on which admin is available to make the switchover. If I end up doing it, it'll be around 6:30PM.

    Are we doing the extreme terrain generation?

    p0a2ody6sqnt.jpg
  • greygrey Registered User regular
    No, no we are not. A seed was selected that offered a nice variety of desirable biomes along with a good spawn area. We got mushroom, mesa, and ice spikes. Although the ice spike biome is not huge so share peoples.

    Like, are you assuming I'm just seething with hatred or something? Whatever idea you have in your head about me is probably ridiculous, I'm sure.

    And I do stop buying from companies that do bad things, which is totally a different, and related, topic!


    How dare I stop playing for reasons that don't matter to you!

    The tower I was making on the FTB server would probably work best in a mesa biome as well. So if you see a giant tower please don't blow it up with whatever redstone contraption you plan to make.

    I haven't played full on Vanilla MC since....I don't even know. Underdark? Which was amazing, and I really wanted to try the upside down castle again, but perhaps some other server...
    I would totally love to build with you classy folk if you'll have me.

    Did Mojang revert the change (nerf, etc.) to iron farms in 1.8? I haven't looked at them in a while.

  • MayabirdMayabird Pecking at the keyboardRegistered User regular
    I didn't realize there had been a nerf.

    Also if Spawntown (any special name set for it yet? Spawnshire?) is an open build area, can there be a row of these buildings set up as starter houses for people?

  • Bluedude152Bluedude152 Registered User regular
    I could fix the iron farm nerf if need be

    Zombie spawner, set iron ingot drop to 25%, use the new invisible barriers so people can't set up a farm

    If you mean Golems not dropping iron unless hit by the player, they reverted it a snapshot later.

    I second this idea (also I want in on building them). Each row could be a different variation, as well, with every house a different color.
    I used the wikipedia page as a reference for the facade I posted earlier, but that one might be better suited to a storefront. Storefront with upper level apartment, perhaps.

    Ok, I think I've figured out my banner and armor stand:
    FpkGbPK.png

    The flag's supposed to a sun rising over an ocean behind the sillhouette of an archway, although the arch shape didn't translate well to my texture pack. It looks right on vanilla, though.
