Comment on Tildes Minecraft Weekly in ~games
Mendanbar Link ParentOn a whim I loaded complimentary shaders to see how the city looks, and I was not disappointed. It's even more spectacular in person, since the sculk sort of shimmers like stars.On a whim I loaded complimentary shaders to see how the city looks, and I was not disappointed.

I'm pretty pleased with the outcome so far:
Town Square
Greenhouses
Gathering Hall
Mayor overlooking the square
Schoolhouse WIP
Cool duplex
Alleyway rest area
I don't recommend venturing into the woods. It's pretty dark in there.
No telling what you might find...The build is not complete yet. There are a lot of empty buildings, and some are literally just big hollow boxes. I plan to keep working on it in creative and iterate on the designs.
I did manage to bring some company on the long journey though, so the town has a small population.
Finally, a question: Would anyone be interested if I were to open up some of the buildings to be designed by the community? If there's enough interest I can put up signs and post more detailed info in a new comment.
Edit: typo

Mendanbar LinkI started laying out my underground city build, and realized I need a ton more pale moss carpet. Does anyone have about a shulker and a half to spare, or perhaps a pale moss farm I can use?I started laying out my underground city build, and realized I need a ton more pale moss carpet.

I've had a lot of fun with the different Minetest mods/experiences, though none of them quite capture the exact Minecraft experience.
If you are not trying to exactly replicate Minecraft though, there is a lot of fun to be had. I especially liked NodeCore in that regard. All crafting in it is done in world, and it can be very difficult to figure out sometimes.

I played Better than Adventure previously and enjoyed it, but Indev+ has a world hopping system that makes the later game feel much more complete (Screenshot of my portal hub :)). There are also lots of little QoL features that make it feel more modern without sacrificing the classic Minecraft vibe. I plan to check out their other mods when they reach feature complete status.

I found them through their Creepy and Weird Stuff in Old Minecraft video, but they have some great video reviews of mods and old Minecraft playthroughs as well.

For context, I'm also a big fan of ST: Voyager, so I think the formula of "crew being stranded and having to figure things out" really appealed to me.

It's nowhere near done, but here are some preliminary shots of what I've got going so far:
- View from town square
- Gathering Hall first floor
- View from the balcony of the gathering hall
- Hiding the fact that this is underground works even better without shaders IMO
- Greenhouses
- Greenhouse interior
- A cozy alleyway
A lot of the buildings are just untextured boxes right now, but I'm slowly bringing everything to life. I should be confident enough in the layout soon and can hop on the server to lay down all the roads. I may also be open to some collaboration if anyone likes making "lived in" interiors. :)

Having to install and run it locally was always a hurdle for the less technical people, so this is a pretty nice development. :)

Mendanbar Link ParentI wonder if co inspect can help in this case?I wonder if co inspect can help in this case?
Hello fellow Missouri native! I moved away from MO in my early 30's, but spent my entire childhood and young adult life there. I have very fond memories of Lamberts' "throwed rolls", and also of drinking milk from a jar.
This was all a very long time ago, but I do remember the bread being very good. It was a sweet roll, which I'm sure helped make them more palatable for young me. And they were always fresh from the oven, so they were warm and the butter would melt in them easily. It's actually giving me a bit of craving right now. :D
