    Anybody see the new snapshot? Were finally getting a vanilla way to sit with cushions! Between the recent shelves and these new cushions, it seems mojang is really focusing on making sure they keep builders in mind when adding new blocks.

    Similar vibes here. I'd love to finish the Horizon Engine and have a bunch of people explore it, but its probably gonna take at least 8-12 more months I'd guess before I'm done. At least with my build I can continue working on it in creative and then quickly rebuild it in a new season when there's more server activity. I certainly enjoy checking in on your progress though TSP. Maybe I should abandon my project temporarily and help you finish your vision of Poland in the free time I do have. Then if you end up rejoining next season (I know you've been doubting it, so no pressure, but also a teeny bit of pressure cause you'd be missed) you could help me rebuild the horizon engine if you don't want to play as much.

    Sounds like a fun project I would take on if I had time. The smoke plumes for my rocket engines are the only design like that I've done before but I think they came out pretty good. I'm hoping in the next couple weeks things will start to be on a routine where I can maybe play some again.

    Got a lot going on IRL right now keeping me away, probably for quite a while unfortunately. My dad has been having issues with our city's code enforcement about various issues with his property. He has some moderate hoarding problems, with boats and scrap metal in particular, but there are also some self built structures on his property which were not permitted. He put off fixing these issues to the point where they have been fining him $100 daily for about a month. Then Wednesday evening while I was at work he had a severe stroke and has been in the hospital since. He is completely paralyzed in his right side and has lost all ability to meaningfully communicate. And he also has a minor legal issue he was working through at the same time which I'll have deal with potentially. Luckily he comes from a big family so I've had tons of support so far. The doctors say he's an excellent candidate for rehab based on how tough he is and how he seems motivated to move around and attempt communication, so there's hope he could make a meaningful recovery, but its still early days. And obviously I also will have to work on resolving the issues with code enforcement, but it turns out my bosses mom is on the city council, so hopefully we can get some leniency through her (they previously told us over the phone they cant stop the fines even if he's incapacitated). So that's what I'm dealing with currently. I'd still very much like to complete The Horizon Engine eventually, so I'll continue plugging away at it when I have some time again, even if that means I end up having to rebuild it all again next season. Wish me luck.

    Trust me, if hadn't been constantly making sure i had a fire res potions in hand, it would've been a bad time. Had to use two of them to not die.

    The honeycomb block works really well with the stripped spruce and yellow terracotta. I like using the minecraft block palette website to help make good combinations of blocks for a build.

    If you're not worried about duping, we have infinite red sand to make more.

    Building with smooth red sandstone has been a fantastic block to build with, and makes me frustrated on how rare the block is in the game.

    You didn't want to dig out the entire ceiling of the city, make the map, then place all the blocks back? Weird. :P

    I updated my nether tunnel! I did my own redstone for the station and it worked out better than expected. To use this track all you have to do is walk up and get into the waiting minecart, a sculk sensor will detect that you've gotten into the cart and power the rails to get you moving, then shortly after you leave the station, a new minecart is autocrafted and dispensed onto the track to wait for the next use. At each end of the track the minecart is automatically broken by a cactus and disposed of in lava. The redstone is my own design and it's about as small as possible I think, so I'm pretty proud of it. Feel free to copy for other stations if desired.

    It's all good, I ended up just throwing down a couple enderpearls to chunk load the bee farm while I did other things. By the time I gathered everything else there was enough for my needs. Thanks though, I'll keep that in mind if I need more in the future.

    Update on The Horizon Engine

    Another week, another new building. I borrowed @Mendanbar's idea of using a working conveyor belt in my incinerator building.

    I also added two "atmospheric condensers" as a way for the city to collect water.

    Then I decided to make a second market stall to fill out a little more space.

    My in game map is starting to look a bit like a circuit board which is a neat coincidence.

    I also finally decided on a way for non-flyers to access the city from the overworld. The city is dumping excess water* out of the sewer down to the ground below. There's a bubble column to ride up into the sewer system and then a ladder to the city streets. Maybe I'll think of something more glamorous in the future, but for now this will have to do. No picture, it's a column of water coming out of a tube. *filtered and sanitized water, we are environmentally conscious at The Horizon Engine.

    Next up is a medical facility for the city.

    Edit: Just took this night shot of my city from a distance. It's coming together.

    I'd be down for sure, I had to miss last season's PvP event cause of work.

    • Is there a good surplus of oxidized copper anywhere? I only need about a stack for my current plans, so I could just oxidize it manually.

    There might be some in community storage, if not it would be faster to raid a Trial Chamber than to wait for oxidation.

    • Do either of the tree farms in the industrial district work with the nether trees? I'll need a bunch of the blue stuff.

    Yeah, sort of. You have to replace the dirt with the nylium (the colored netherrack) that corresponds to the tree type you want to grow. There also needs to be a second piece of nylium down 1 block and back 1 block relative to the other one. Growing the trees will sometimes convert the nylium into netherrack before you can clear the tree, so this second piece will allow the nylium to spread again so you can grow the next tree.

    • Has anyone built an enderman farm? I will build one in the end if not.

    Not a proper one, I think there's a spot where you can safely aggro a bunch of them manually to kill them, but it's pretty slow.

    • Is there a good source of sculk blocks anywhere? I will build a generator attached to the enderman farm if not.

    Nope, no skulk farms yet at all.
