On the upside to this small (9), Glowstone is once more easily accessable. If we ever need nether supplies we could simply do this in the future in place of rebuilding everything! (So just back up the nether, delete it temporarily, put it back in a day later). So essentially just note a day for nether gathering, and reset it at the end of that day! No need to lose structures, paths, or anything!

tried some texture packs and got nice errors

You need to install MCpatcher so you can use HD texture packs.

When I was trying to reset the End, I accidentally the whole Nether instead. Can you please restore it from your most recent backup?

Well, shit. I only do backups on worlds 1 and 2. I leave out the Nether and End so they could be regenerated eventually. Unfortunately, the Nether will always be a different generation each time, so we're stuck with this new one..

But hey! At least we can get glowstone more easily again!

... Y'know, I just realized. Our path to the End is now gone. Hm.... I guess I'll fix that :V

EDIT- aaand done. I've expanded the Community Nether Portal building. It now has a dedicated End Portal! :3 I also moved the golems over in front of the Kyuubey sprite to make space for the expansion. They were getting a bit too crowded over there anyway.

I guess the next thing I'll do is make a cobblestone perimeter around the portal on the Nether side, so that players aren't immediately bombarded by ghast fire upon entering. If someone wants to reconstruct the Netherwart farm, I'll gladly donate some to the cause.

Well, damn, there goes a few separate Nether bases and contained blaze spawners. Combined with the portals seemingly only generating from Nether-side....

Built that Netherwart farm out of wood slabs, and moved the donated weapons at the old End Portal to the chest at the spawn one, with blocks, chests, and signs moved to community chests.

First to kill the new Ender Dragon~
Got a Power 5 + Fire 1 bow now, this thing is like firing rockets at ants.

More random screenshots:

I didn't see this before in the old Nether.

Having fun with my new Mokou skin. I'll switch back to Mamizou soon.

Madness! How many skeletons do you count?

Well, the old nether had this:
[attach=1]
So it's kinda similar.

So now that we have to restore the portals, they will still connect to the ones in world1 if placed in the right area, right?

Yeah, but an easier way to do this would be to enter your portal, and then navigate the Nether back to the community portal. It should be close to 0,0 and I'll get the precise Nether coordinates soon. Then the rest is just memorizing and/or marking the path between the two.

DX7.EP · « **Reply #487 on:** January 30, 2012, 11:04:14 PM »

I think the Nether seed is the same. One Nether Fortress I frequented before the reset is still in the exact same location with the same layout. Moreover, taking Strafe's suggestion generated a new Nether portal for my tower, and the terrain on the Nether side is exactly as I remember it before I built a little Nether Wart shack there.

InfernalExuro · « **Reply #488 on:** January 30, 2012, 11:37:25 PM »

It's the same seed, yeah. My Nether portal ended up on the same distinct cliffside that it originally spawned on.

I counted twelve. Though I am not sure whether those two brighter spots far in the background are indeed skeletons or not.

By the way, how did you manage to get that tilted camera effect in that picture? Did you take it while dying/dead? I wonder...

(Figured I should try to write it here: Doctor, I sent you a PM about something regarding Minecraft, the server and a possible way to annoy the hell out of you guys [and no, it's not in any way connected to me trying to get back and stir some crap up again, I swear, and it's not even suspiciously specific denial or reverse psychology or any of that bullcrap, I actually mean it, honest truth - I'm just adding this unnecessarily long-winded addendum because I figured, maybe you saw a PM from me titled "About Minecraft", or something like that, and thought to yourself, "here it comes, another batch of pleading from the troublemaker, not this shit again", so I thought I'd assure you, you can open it and it's not about that at all, because eternity <how long bans last> has not passed just yet... wow, talk about being paranoic] but you never replied. Did you even get it?)

Dr.Strafe · « **Reply #490 on:** January 31, 2012, 12:56:18 AM »

Yeah, I got that PM. I'm sorry that I didn't reply to it, as I didn't really know what to say in return. :V

I guess I'll respond here, since it's not really that big of a deal. Apparently there's some kind of glitch in the chat that allows people to use different colors and characters. I don't think that will cause any type of problem for us, unless it allows people to bypass our protections and permissions. The most it could do is annoy people, I imagine. I'm sure that Mojang will address this in a future update, so there's no real need for concern.

Announcement:

Alright folks, I have some bad news.

Because I am currently facing some financial difficulties (and I am not willing to have Strafe shoulder the entire cost of the server by himself), the server will be temporarily shutting down for February and possibly March because I can't afford to pay the bills at the moment.

The server should be up until the 7th, so until then feel free to keep playing. I'll make a full backup of the server before it goes down and we'll pick up right where we left off when we start the server again in a month or two.

DX7.EP · « **Reply #492 on:** January 31, 2012, 03:12:05 AM »

To sum up expressions to this: D: T_T

This is certainly understandable, and hopefully the situation can get resolved as soon as possible.

I can expect that TF2 server will have more frequent nightly meet-ups during that time, but it's not like we're competing with the MC server for attention here :V

Dr.Strafe · « **Reply #493 on:** January 31, 2012, 03:12:58 AM »

Yeah, it's unfortunate.. but sometimes, it's what you gotta do. I need to catch up on quite a few things around here as well. :blush:

Anyway, I'll be making my backup late Saturday night, as I will be busy and/or gone for the few days that follow. Don't worry, folks. We're not pulling the plug for good. We just need a slight break to assess real life crap. :V

We'll be back before you know it.

HakureiSM · « **Reply #494 on:** January 31, 2012, 06:19:46 AM »

That sucks, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. And tautology.

Let's make the re-opening grand, then.

Freyband · « **Reply #495 on:** January 31, 2012, 06:21:24 AM »

What will we do with the rest of our time!? (suddenly a terraria MotK server). :V Sad to hear that it's gonna be down for awhile, and so long at that. In the meantime we can stockpile structure ideas, and then rush the biosphere world with idiotic structures upon it's release!

HakureiSM · « **Reply #496 on:** January 31, 2012, 06:24:14 AM »

To hell with Terraria

Also personally I have games to the dozens that I haven't played yet because Minecraft :V

DX7.EP · « **Reply #497 on:** January 31, 2012, 06:30:29 AM »

I plan to use this downtime to generate Lunatic Biosphere. If I had any server ideas it'd be a Gmod or Cube 2 (map editing mode) server, not a Terraria one.

Also same as Haku here, I've a huge backlog to catch up to :V

InfernalExuro · « **Reply #498 on:** January 31, 2012, 06:50:16 AM »

I do have Dead Rising 2: OTR to play, as well as the original Half-Life...

Screw it I've already made plans. :V Do what you must, good sirs. I can probably chip in a bit to help out the server costs when it does come back up.

puremrz · « **Reply #499 on:** January 31, 2012, 08:41:29 AM »

Good timing, because I needed a break anyway. Although it will still hurt :V

I restored my two Nether portals already. Since the Wart house is now where my first portal used to be, I put my portal under it.
It's easier to access now actually, less fall damage required :V

Floccinaucinihilipilification: The spider hit me as soon I took the screenshot, that's why it's tilted. There are 10 skeletons by the way, the rest are trees.

Cadmas · « **Reply #500 on:** January 31, 2012, 08:45:14 AM »

All my times been devoured by MC, so here's to playing something else for a change.

Agent of the BSoD · « **Reply #501 on:** January 31, 2012, 09:20:56 AM »

Well, you gotta do what you gotta do. Perfectly understandable. This will allow me to concentrate on other games, probably more TF2 and Touhou in there. (just remember to backup the nether this time :V)

Someone's been here.

Slimes.

More of the ravine. Yes, someone has indeed been here.

If thats at the mostly empty island just beyond the swamp, then its probably me. That looks like my building style. The majority of any interconnected caverns and ravines around that area I've picked clean. :V

Can someone tell me where the coordinates for a hell portal to the stronghold would need to be placed? I want to get that set back up soon, and if I know where to set it up I can do it myself (also, the terraria thing was a joke. They're commonly joked about being similar, even if they're rather different).

You can take the stronghold Nether portal and a new one should generate on the Nether end. Making a portal from the Nether side could create a whole new one unless the coords are absolutely precise.

Freyband · « **Reply #506 on:** February 04, 2012, 10:16:08 PM »

The portal is up already EP (and precise). I didn't post because I rather figured I was the only one who would really care at this point :derp:. It's not too hard once you know how nether travel works, and the distances (which are easily obtained via livemap & f3).
Edit: Actually, it's simple enough that I just made a portal straight to my "island." No more needing to worry about getting jumped on as I walk through a ravine/stronghold/abandoned mine.

Can't reach server....
Withdrawal... Hnnng!

On a side note, if this is just temporary, and not the big shutdown, some parts of the eastern desert could use some re-generation. There are more Creeper blast holes than there is flat land :V

This got me at least 25 music discs though.

Meteor impact zone!
