    I am! I didn't expect we'd be upgrading to it this season. I've been looking forward to craftable name tags and direct use of deepslate, in addition to a tidal wave of baby animals.

    I appreciate the offer, but I got it done. Excavated 50% in 1 block layers, pale mossed it with bonemeal, started hoeing it, got massive non-stop mob spawning, then lit it all on fire and dragged a handful of iron golems around on leashes while cleaning up the stray bits. I'll just skip the hoeing next time. It's much more fun than just digging, if only somewhat faster.

    And, cheap for just pick repairs, iron golem mats, and bonemeal.

    Could you remind me why you don't use elytra, again? I avoided it due to it being non-renewable and me being a danger to myself and others in flight, but demand seems to have stabilized and lots of practice has gotten me down to just intermittent turf screwing.

    I don't have litematica, so can't help with this particular project. Still have a lot of digging to do out at my place, anyhow, no matter how little I'm enjoying it now.

    I very much appreciate having this option, especially since most of the areas I frequent are past the edge of bluemap anyhow, and loading bluemap (even briefly) makes my potato start whining and smoking.

    ETA: is there anything I can do to help support or sponsor the Adventurer's Society?

    The article really doesn't shed light on anything new, just old, obscure, and - as @lynxy said - increasingly unreliable, provided you were already steeped in the old lore. It's a great primer for getting more out of searches if you use them in the way most do, but it's only more, not actual control like we started out with.

    What they said is is no way rebutted by reading the actual article.

    Likewise, first experience. I begin to see the appeal of actual PvP (at least for varied events like this) vs the srs bzns that my mind cast it into. I doubt I'll ever get sweaty about it, though....

    @secret_online, I've returned your loaner elytra, and since I hadn't caught you on in in a bit, I put it in your base's item storage for the golems to sort. Thanks again for the lend!

    @Mendanbar, I think I just cleared the last of the ruins from your ancient city, so you're good to go.

    I made two new community elytra - use one of those in your quest. Last time I went out, I explored the edges of the end from mid-east along the north to mid-west. If you check the southern edge, you'll likely find something.

    ETA: oh, almost lost. Directions suggestion stands. I am also a champ of losing elytra.

    Oh, fantastic news! That'll make the delay before I get back to building new stuff much shorter. Thank you again for the rescue from my own OSHA violation, creesch.

    I get mine from Amazon oddly enough, when I can't get it from Bandcamp or other friendlier options. They have the option to download albums (and some audiobooks) as mp3s, then you can seed it into your various backups and the like, leaving Amazon where they belong as a source of last resort.

    Can't get bluemap to display where I've decided to build a base, out at the negative corner of the world by the world border. It only displays out to about negative 5-6k on either axis, but I'm at -7950, -7950 or so. Is there some trick to making bluemap render out that far that I'm simply missing through unfamiliarity?

    If you need a location for a third studio apartment, you can choose any empty layer of my base. Have bubblevator access.

    I read the LN and the manga, and watched the movie. The movie was a bit lackluster in that way action blockbuster adaptations often tend to be - a sort of overly-glossy surfacing that makes it tough to sink emotional hooks into it. The LN is worth looping back for, IMO, if you liked the manga.
