Well that was fun, good timing as well as I picked up Minecraft again a few days ago after a long hiatus. By luck I happened upon logging in pretty much first which was nice. Overtime tomorrow and a uni assignment due in Tuesday means I expect Spawn will be rather different next time I join in so I think tomorrow's tiredness will be worth staying up far too late tonight.
Enjoy the rest of your evening (afternoon?) and I'll see you all soon.
Hi, I'm not playing Minecraft anymore. I had no part in the new map project either.
I've updated the thread OP, and will continue to do so as this thread lives but after this thread dies I'm leaving it up to others to continue it.
It's been a good run, and I'm certain you guys literally saved my life at one point, and if it wasn't for Minecraft and this server I wouldn't have met @Weaver (<3) but it's time to move on.

Here's a pic from near the spawn point in Spawnissima. I made the stone brick bridge there. I'm pretty happy with the scale and shape, but I think it needs a little color. I think I might hang banners off the side of it, maybe alternating colors with a gold trim? Should there be anything on top of the bridge? I'm open to suggestions here, this is among the first thing new users will see.
Also, I'm really excited, you guys. I've got a lot of cool ideas for BalloonVenice.
I'm headed out for the day but wanted to say that I have a basic sheep, cow, and reed farm going just ENE of spawn on the shore: around 460x, -250z. There's a little hidey hole and mineshaft just inside the cave there at the shore.
If anyone is desperately searching for some villagers, Village Parmigiana has been founded and given very basic protection at -1530x, 730z. I'm probably going to set up shop here for a while, add a couple basic buildings, expand the fence & torch perimeter a bit, etc., but anyone else that would like a temporary village home is more than welcome.
(FWIW, there are a couple librarians, but no farmer yet. No idea what enchants the librarians have, I'm not yet established enough to do any real trading.)
Update: sadly, all villagers are dead. I'll cure some zombie villagers once the perimeter is better established.

Miss you Nuka! It was always great having you on the servers back when I played a ton.
We have an enchanting table with full bookshelves right outside my hidey-hole in spawn. It's just north of the spawn point, through the hillside tunnel.
I think clay would be worth the effort personally.
I've been working on a basic concept for smaller townhouses, based on some pictures I've seen in the thread...
(insert really big pictures here!)
It would be wood - preferably spruce or dark oak - for walkways, bridges and docks., Dark oak or for detail and roofs. Roofs are pointed or slanted to a wall, and the bottom rim would be half-slabs while the rest is stairs. Buildings would be made with one colour of clay each. Warm colours, or white/a shade. Windows would be white stained. Also lots of doors used as shudders.
Don't get too attached to your skeleton horses. Their spawns not being handled correctly is a known bug in bukkit at the moment and the eventual fix is probably going to involve removing all skellie horse entities left in the world.
Bad news everyone! Due to something unexpected, there is no savanna on this map. There should be savanna, the seed had savanna, but something got horked up when changing terrain gen properties after making the islands. My bad. I'm putting a stack of acacia saplings in the spawn store house.
I made a shed/storage house by the beetroot fields to put harvested stuff in since everything seemed to be scattered around. Feel free to make any changes to it as you see fit.

I've used some of those saplings to create an artificial savanna in a plains biome due west of spawn, near my cattle ranch. If anyone needs acacia and the storehouse is running low, that's the place to go. I only ask that you don't completely deforest it, and replant what you cut.
That said, I haven't claimed the land for myself. It's virgin territory if you want to build there.
We need some locating beacons to be able to calibrate dynmap.
At each of the four absolute for corners of the world border (NE, NW, etc.), we need you to:
Build a corner marker of, bottom to top, a block of diamond, a block of quartz, and a block of glowstone.
Put a sign on the marker stating which corner, the date, and your name.
Take a screenshot showing the F3 debug coordinates, the marker, your sign, and the world border just behind it.
Post the screenshot here. (Linky or inline; mind the forum 500 kB linky limit.)
Leave the corner marker up. (You don't get to reclaim the materials once you take a screenshot.)
Once all four corners are up, we'll be able to calibrate the map.
Example screenshot:
Edit: since someone asked, the markers don't all have to be placed by the same person. It's a lot of diamonds and travel, so spreading the job out makes sense, right?

After a harrowing journey through the nether from the edge of the map, the two sheep I was escorting to spawn disappeared when I brought them through the spawn portal. So if they show up again, let me know.
But just when I was feeling down, what did I spy while wandering Spawnissima? Two cows, high on a cliffside. I managed to rescue them and pen them up, so now, there are cows on the main spawn island, right next to my airship build. I repeat, THERE ARE COWS ON SPAWN! Someone should make them a bigger pen elsewhere, though, and grow the herd.
If we haven't yet had anyone go to a corner, I'd be willing to make the trip later tonight when I get on, though I am lacking in materials. I could go hunting for them tonight, but haven't gotten to a mine level of diamonds (I haven't been looking).

Ugh, I had Minecraft working and I had today off and now it's not working again. I tried to enter the server and got an immediate crash. Tried to create a new random creative world just to test and immediate crash there too.

Newest version of Java installed, if so, uninstall and re-install both minecraft and Java?

Can I build a large/communal dock and live of a merchant airship parked there?

Don't forget to PM ruddeh and Twixxo as well, may get a response quicker than just posting in thread.
