    Hopped on the server briefly to take a look. The new station looks amazing! Very grand. You have done a great job with it.

    I definitely will add even just a small path leading back into town. And maybe some lights around that station entrance because I got mobbed when I checked it out lol

    What texture pack and shaders do you use? I'm considering switching things up from my current set.

    I use GD Launcher. It has worked very well for me as a modding noob.

    I will add this empty block gap between the rail lines going through my renovation of the first lime line station until the line goes underground. Looks good!

    Updated all my mods pretty easy with my GD Launcher except Indium, which you can remove as it is no longer needed.

    Distant Horizons beta that creesch linked, had the logging all turned on by default so I turned that all off in the mod menu. As well as the Import Progress messages.

    EDIT: Seems I have lost all my Distant Horizons data so I can't see very far right now.

    It was long ago, but I do remember the creator of that farm mentioning in a post that the cobblestone issue was unlikely, but still possible with this farm. Its been an issue before.

    Checked out this area today and it looks great! I have been searching for a new project idea and I think its finally time to renovate the first Lime line station I setup.

    I like the idea of fenced off "plots" with signs advertising their availability. I imagine sometimes people are put off from building density because they don't want to encroach on someone else's build. Having these plots clearly marked could resolve that issue.

    The torch-under-moss-carpet way of blocking mob spawns is good only as it is better than random spammed torches. It should be the lowest level effort of blocking mob spawns in town. I agree that if at all possible, having a more realistic light source is better once an area becomes more defined.

    I like the placement of the stairs to the second level. Never knew what to do with that blank wall.

    I did have a chance to get on this weekend, and spent some time looking at the build from all angles. I agree with you about moving it 20-30 blocks west, I think that would be a perfect spot. It seems likely a Zeppelin would land on that spot. Agree with all the comments about presence!

    I may not have time to get ingame to vote this weekend, so consider my vote raising it above the nether roof tower. I think it will look great there.

    Question sparked by Gravy suggesting removing the snowflakes from the sky: Are we OK with removing some of the Christmas decorations? I did move a penguin that was in the path in front of the fireworks stall. But some decorations like Santa I would love to see stay there. I don't have any strong opinions on the matter but wanted to see what others think.

    Having the airship higher up and "docked" at one of the towers would be a fun addition, kind of like Godzilla's hat.

    Bluemap is really cool, but it seems like it is causing more issues than it is worth. We really haven't had trouble until it was added. I wouldn't be upset if we went back to Dynmap.

    I believe when us 4 tested the arena a long time ago, the scoring had some issues, so it may have been that way for awhile now.

    This looks absolutely amazing. I would be in favor of having this enabled, even if it covered less of an area than DynMap in order to keep down server impact.

    I made a post for people who are curious about the server and may have questions.

    -How can I get started?
    Head into Tildetown to pick up free supplies. From spawn, take the bridge over the river. You can get a boat at the end of the bridge and explore the whole area from the water. If you continue on foot along the birch wood path, you will reach a sign and a choice between the mountain path or the river path:

    If you take the mountain path up, you will pass by the transit stop for the Red Line, which takes you to the transit hub at the center of town.
    If you take the river path, you will pass by a white bridge leading to the Hall of Heroes.

    Both paths will lead you into the center of town and the message board. Here you can check for free supplies in the chests. There is also a book that lists most of the resource farms on the server.

    Also in Tildetown: A villager trading hall, a large community storage automatic sorter, a community super smelter, Iron farm, fireworks farm, and much more.

    -What if I don’t want to go into town?
    Opposite the path heading into Tildetown is another path which will take you out of the spawn valley to the north sea. There are several builds along this path, ending at the flower hill developed by @Felicity .

    -Where can I build?
    Anywhere in the world is free for you to build on, as long as someone else has not claimed the spot first with their own build. There are some spots near the center of town that are still open to development.

    -Is there a fast way to get around?
    There is a system of portals connected on the Nether roof. Look for the tall and skinny stone tower near the center of Tildetown which will take you there.

    -Anything cool to look at?
    There are too many builds on the server to list them all, so I will pick a few of my favorites at random for this post:

    Noox’ Crashpad is the only generated building left and thus the oldest building in Tildetown.

    The Southcliff Plaza was built within the first 24 hours of the world, although I am not sure who built it. Most of the road system in the area started from this point.

    The bridges connecting the spawn valley cliffs are amazing, built by @IsildursBane who also built the cathedral in this image. In this second view, you can see a white camping tent, also a build from the early days of the world, by @Mendanbar .

    On top of the southcliff mountain sits a massive boat built by @Positive and others. There is a water elevator to get to it from the earlier mentioned plaza.

    Farther out of town, you can find a hot air balloon with a whole house aboard! This is another @Noox creation.

    There is an evil tower that looks to be corrupting the surrounding area. This is @ColdheartsTalon build, and includes a lot of hidden surprises within.

    The sprawling estate built by @eyechoirs has a lot to see and do.

    Back in Tildetown, make sure to stop by the Museum of Natural History. I read @joeglen is looking for donations if you find anything interesting!

    -Questions about mods
    Minecraft has never been easier to mod. Grab a 3rd party launcher like GD Launcher or Prism Launcher and download mods directly into the launcher. Make sure to use the ‘Fabric’ version of game/mods.

    This older modlist has some nice features and performance improvements.My mod list is a little larger, as I have included shaders and the Distant Horizons mod

    I highly recommend the Stay True texture pack and if you use shaders then I recommend Complementary Reimaged.
