    Since you mentioned watching older Minecraft videos, I'd like to suggest checking out Dialko. I'd recommend a watch of some of their most popular videos. 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.

    I'm also making my way through Voyager again! I just started Season 6. I might have to attempt a Stargate run as well prior to this new show if time permits. :)

    I'm with you. I enjoyed all of the Stargate series, but SGU hit the sweet spot for me. 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.

    I have been off the server for a bit while I work out the details of my "City of Ember" inspired build in creative. It's nowhere near done, but here are some preliminary shots of what I've got going so far:

    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. :)

    Thanks so much! It looks great. I can finally think about the actual city layout and planning. 😬

    We use Pandoc at my workplace to convert old Word documents to Asciidoc. It's not perfect, but gets you 80% of the way there. Having to install and run it locally was always a hurdle for the less technical people, so this is a pretty nice development. :)

    Similarly, but not the same:
    Furnaces:

    • Hoppers on top load things to smelt
    • Hoppers on the side(s) load fuel (coal, sticks, wood, lava buckets, etc)
    • Hoppers on the bottom pull out results of smelting (including empty buckets produced from feeding in lava as fuel!)

    This is one of the biggest selling points for me TBH. Thanks tea for making it happen! "Tildes: Come for the conversation, stay for the Minecraft!" (tagline probably needs some work)

    My oldest kid made the same connection when he was watching over my shoulder last night. Looks even more atmospheric with your complimentary shaders.

    Another option if you really don't want a glass ceiling is to just light up a larger radius around your base. IIRC zombies have a max detection range of 40 blocks, so with enough of a non-spawnable buffer they would sit far outside the detection range and never come near. Moats and rivers are also good options, depending on geography and preferred aesthetics.

    The guardian farm is awesome BTW. I had to re-enchant some gear last night (series of unfortunate events) and it was so quick for gaining lots of levels.
