      To make it easier, suggest using in-game nicknames / Tildes names, rather than Minecraft usernames.

          Just used a lot of them for powering rails on the Birch Line extension; I know it's inefficient compared to redstone torches or detector rails but for that one I like the look. If I end up cleaning up parts of the line between spawn and town to make it look consistent I'll need more so figured I might as well stock up now.

          Edit: the same farm is also good for glowstone and I'll need a lot of that. I was looking at the Cherry Line (glowstone lighting) which runs south from the TildeTown West stop and think that would be a good candidate to run up to the iron/witch farms rather than making an entirely separate line from South Station.

    @teaearlgraycold, any chance you could toss me some invisible Item Frames?❤️ it would make this thing I'm building a lot cuter :D ... I need about a dozen or so, but have no idea if you can even have those in 1.20+ hah, so no worries if not!

    Also, just because I'm a sucker for christmas does not mean I have anything against the other winter holidays, if anyone has any ideas for festive builds celebrating Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Solstice etc. feel free to plop 'em right next to what's already in town!

        Once in game, someone should type /trigger if_Invisible while looking at the item frame they want to change. Taking the item out of the item frame will make it visible again.

              Very true. Sooner or later, the factory grows until the CPU it's running on can't handle any more, which limits long-lived multiplayer servers. I've pushed as far as 2.5k SPM in singleplayer but never played any serious multiplayer. The level of coordination required might also make it tough on a casual-ish server. I imagine I'd spend a lot of time scratching my head at people's designs lol

      If you have a friend who can log in to your account and is willing to say nasty stuff, I strongly recommend you change your password etc. so they don’t have access anymore.

      You got lucky with this server because of the above changes, but if your friend does this again on another server, your account might be permanently muted or permanently banned across all servers by Mojang.

    So in addition to the snowflakes in town I've been working on a few other things.

    I've built a Glow Lichen farming machine. I put it next to the skeleton spawner and I plan to build a structure around it too. For now there is a ton of Glow Lichen in a chest there if anyone needs some. I didn't come up with the machine, it was ilmango on YouTube. Oh and this farm can be a bit tricky to get out of, your best bet is to limit the amount of bonemeal you put in each dispenser the first time you try it.

    I've also built a nature path going out the east side of my house into the woods. There's treasure hidden in there somewhere and I'll continue adding to it until someone finds it. If you find the treasure be sure to make a note of it at the geocaching center, I set up a lecturn there with much of the same info. I also plan to extend on this nature path now that I've moved the road over a bit.

    I added some more details around my house.

    I'd also like to perhaps make a game or competition of some kind out of the naughty and nice lists, but I'm not sure what that could be. Let me know if you have any ideas.

    Edit: I put a building around the Glow Lichen machine. And there are two more snowflakes in town.

    Edit2: Extended the nature trail by a decent bit. It's probably four times as long as before, but I still have more decorating to do still. I also made the trail split so that one end will loop back over to my planned farm area and the other still connects to the road at my east.

    Edit 3: Just a few more things I've been working on. I built an afk bonemeal generator which can be found at 1050, -25 (its a bit ugly on the outside still, but its what's on the inside that counts). I've also made a whole lot of progress on my nature path and added more loot to the hidden treasure stash. I built a little gazebo type building in the End over the return portal. I've also done a bit more work on the interior of my home and added a few more details to the outside as well. It was also me that made a minor tweak to the ice path in the nether leading to the end, I added a cactus which will safely eject you from the boat when you reach the end of the line and it automatically feeds the boat back to the hopper line back to the chest.

      @Chewonbananas, you're essentially perpendicular to this new line, we could probably build a station that stops near your house with ease - is that something you'd be interested in? The station would be roughly here
      Edit2: I flew out and there's actually a really deep cliff/hole already nearby that could be repurposed to fit a metro station, coords: 1301, -117

      edit: oh also that'd be awesome, a cherryline to the Iron farm!

        A station would be a nice addition, but unfortunately I am bedridden with a bad case of Covid so I won't be able to help you.

            I have logged on and didn't expect to see it merge so well with my existing tunnel! In the immortal words of Jim Carrey's character in Dumb and Dumber: "I like it a lot."

    the town center is getting raided and the big elephant type thing BROKE. THE. XMAS. TREE.

    I am spitting mad but also jesus christ that's a lot of waves and i have to redirect the damned elephant things or they destroy the town!!

    If anyone reads this, I could use the help... it's just me... and a new player... :') might just wait for them to despawn at this point, the 4th wave is huge and i am not a great combat player in minecraft..

    EDIT: MINTYSAURUS TO THE RESCUE - Raid is done, all is safe - jesus chrsit that wasn't fun LOL

      I'd like to help, but I'm still rocking stone tools on this server. Raids end after 40 minutes though, so it may be best to just let it expire without progressing things any further. More Ravagers...

      I'd like to help, but I'm still rocking stone tools on this server. Raids end after 40 minutes though, so it may be best to just let it expire without progressing things any further. More Ravagers will spawn on later waves, and engaging in combat might just convince the ravagers to stomp around more.

      Sorry I can't be of more help.

      For the future, raids are triggered when somebody kills a Pillager and gets the Bad Omen potion effect, then enters a village. Best to drink milk or let it run out to avoid that from happening.

        And yes totally right - I think someone must've gone to the raid farm and then to town to trigger it, but that must've happened a long while ago because it's been quiet on the server the past couple of hours..
