Tildes Minecraft Survival Bi-Weekly Thread
Server host: tildes.nore.gg
Dynmap: https://tildes.nore.gg
The server operates on a soft whitelist. Anyone can log in and walk around, but you need a Tildes account to gain build access.
You can see the playtime for all players (last 30 days) here!
You can tell I was out of commission in October... 22hrs are my rookie numbers :p
To make it easier, suggest using in-game nicknames / Tildes names, rather than Minecraft usernames.
Done!
Yeah I should update the script.
I simply changed my names to match. Avoids confusion
Oh wow. I've been on the server for only two weeks or so. I might be playing too much.
That number's about to steadily go up for me as I'm sitting AFK at the witch farm for a while to get more redstone blocks.
What are you going to use those for?
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.
Hey all. Glad to have joined. My house is really starting to come together over at 900, 250 if anyone wants to check out my progress.
Welcome welcome!
Really nice build so far! The bridge and forest lighting is nice and clean.
Thanks! I liked working on the forest path so much I decided to move the road over a bit so I can extend further. Did you peek around any for the treasure?

I'mwe're not done...@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!
O.O the snowflakes are so magical
Thank you very much! I'm gonna add a few more over the next few days.
Just finished an iceberg-bound snowman as well, complete with corncob pipe :)
How would I create invisible item frames?
Should be this command on java:
:D
I’m on a tour of California right now but can hook you up later this week
Awesome, thanks Tea!! Enjoy the sights!!
It's waiting for you!
That's awesome, thank you Tea!!
First order of business: We now have a Rudolp!!
Nice! I wondered what that block of redstone was for when I put that janky torch on his nose.
Just curious, is it possible to make an invisible Glow Item Frame? And if so, would the glow effect persist?
Hmm, I think so? Iirc the light an object gives off is a differen itemtag than visible/invisible!
It's a datapack, and you can find it on vanillatweaks.com. It's called Armor Statues, on the top left.
( https://vanillatweaks.net/picker/datapacks/ )
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.
Slowly but surely working on my camel area. My typical play time has been severely reduced due to adulting.
-Herven
Adulting is for rookies
The Factory must grow…
Wait, that’s the other one…
Ooo, I'd be all over a Tildes Factorio world
I feel like Minecraft works as a persistent server because to some extent, progression is per-player rather than per-server, whereas Factorio doesn’t have the same decoupling of progression.
That said, I think it could work in surges, so like setting aside a two-week period that the server is up, and see how far we can get?
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
I think I finally have the piglin bartering farm working properly. Put together some crazy minecart collection system. I ran 18 stacks through without any backups. I just need to make sure nothing breaks the minecart collection system
Stuff like encountering a random master cartographer roaming the nether roof is why I love multiplayer servers. How did he get there? How long has he been wandering? He's about 500m away from the main portal. https://imgur.com/a/oBCqAQD
The first rule of wandering the nether roof, is you DONT TALK ABOUT WANDERING THE NETHER ROOF
Ooo I know what happened!! There's a village and for some reason villagers and cats keep coming through the portal??
It's where Whisper the Netherroof cat came from too - I saw it running towards a mob on the roof and quickly tamed it to keep it safe lol.
Anyway, I'm deliberately not gonna point out the portal so this can be fixed, cause it's way too funny hah
Hey folks! Gory here, I’m aware that my friend logged on to my account with my permission and said some things without my authorization. I sincerely apologize for this breach in trust, and I hope you all can understand that this was a mistake on my part; a mistake that I am deeply sorry of. Thank you.
The Tildes server obfuscates player IDs and chat IDs because people here were worried about the overhanded nature of Mojang’s reporting system…
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.
Following up on my priority list in the previous thread, I just made an ice road to the golf course on the nether roof. First time I've done anything like that but it seems like everything's good.
The next thing will probably be completing that Birch Line extension to the east. (No I still haven't finished the arena why are you asking?)
Very nice! I had to jump on and check it out. It's even quicker than flying; I'll probably be taking advantage of that road more often.
Uhm, I think we forgot to pay attention to the turtle farm...
In good news: we have over 2 stacks of chutes now, in the community box in town hall
In less good news holy shit that's a lotta turtles...
I'm culling them now but I'm pretty sure there's over 200
Edit: Turtle-cide complete. Lets keep an eye on it in the future....
That's funny, I remember how surprised I was when I saw that horde of turtles swimming around in the first few days I was on the server. I thought it was deliberate that there were so many.
Oof, yeah and turtles cause a lot of lag in that kind of quantity. Don't ask me how I know.
I've killed over 100 of them and my map is still crawling with them...
I pass by there a lot but never thought to look inside, might try to do that regularly now.
Speaking of farms, did you ever figure out the auto tree farm or is that still broken for some reason?
Have to admit I haven't bothered with it yet hah - though anyone is welcome to try!
To whoever build the carousel in the christmas area, I accidentally stopped it. When I dismounted I got stuck inside the carousel and then the minecart ran into me and stopped, afterwards I couldn't figure out how to start it up.
That was @noox.
No worries, already fixed :D I don't know how to fix the carpet thingy sigh... hah
I have built a short road and made the existing tunnel (thanks to whomever mined it when I settled on the then island) prettier to my Wood Glass Flower Atom Reactor - WG-Far located east of Tildes Town. So any adventurers can now visit it from the inside too.
That was Positive iirc! 😁
I'll hop by soon to come check it out, have you fully finished?!
There is still a lot that has to be done. I need to figure out the underside of these non spherical protrusions and of course fill the whole build with something. It needs to feel lived in.
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.
Ooo a glow lichen farm, that's amazing gravy!!
I'm happy to announce the completion of a Birch Line extension! Darkcliff (name suggestion from @PelagiusSeptim) is a new station to the east of TildeTown with an upper entrance at 1610, -100 and a deck at water level around 1580, -120.
Next on my list is an extension of the Cherry Line (TildeTown West) north to the iron farm. ...at some point maybe I should try making a rail map.
I was about to ask about this! I just found the line and followed it, hah. @Durinthal I also added the marker for the Dynmap to the Trainsstations marker set :)
@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.
Oof, sorry to hear that Chew!! Get well soon!!
We'll see if we can get it done, otherwise it's something to talk about when you're feeling better!
@chewonbananas We'd like to present the newest addition to the Birch Line: Geometry Station :D
The entrance is the hallway that leads directly to your build!!
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."
Glad to hear :D!! We're (Posi & I) are also working on expanding the birch line all the way to the guardian farm!
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 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.
Thanks Wes, and no worries - got help and were able to win!
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..
@mintysaurus tysm for the help!!
Oof, sorry I can't get to my computer to help ATM. 🙁
No worries, got help and the town is safe!
Well most of it. The xmas tree still got a little pulverized but rest is safe hah
I can't seem to get my performance mods profile to work for 1.20.2. I'll keep trying, but.. T凸T
