Tildes Minecraft Survival Bi-Weekly Thread

Also, it's Thanksgiving here in the US, and I'd just like to say that I'm thankful for this community, and the larger community of tildes in general. While I'm still a bit new, I've had some real meaningful interactions, and it's been a lot of fun. ❤️

New thread, new rail stations!

I've extended the Cherry Line (change from Birch Line at TildeTown West) north to the iron farm and then the witch farm, with an interchange and minor station at the snowy beach.

Next up is the northern fork which will go to the raid farm.

Thanks to @GravySleeve for a donation of cherry logs since I go through a lot of those while building out, a full chest covers a little over 400 blocks.

Jumped into the server finally and I am just in awe at the things people have built. Was not expecting a full on metro system with multiple lines. Walked around Tildetown and its just amazing. Are people just allowed to build anywhere once they gain access?

I wanted to share something I happened to film whilst on a trainride from the Guardian Farm to the Deep Peaks station! The sun happened to be setting and it was a very nice moment I think.

Here's the YouTube link!

I've decided to build Advancement Island. It's next to the huge iron farm. Just a place to build stuff to fill out advancements. If you have any you want to add, please do so

I'm out traveling this week but brought my laptop so I can hop on and see the holiday decorations. The mention of them in the last thread inspired me to put up the decorations at my IRL house, so I've been busy. 🙂

I'm wondering what fun/"essential" mods everyone plays with. Ofc they'll be performance, aesthetics, or client side utility mods, but I just found a mod that makes the elytra flight more airplane-like, and while it takes some getting used to, it's super fun to just explore and fly around. The mod is called Do a barrel roll and it's for fabric, and works on 1.20.2!

A few more thoughts about rail lines:

There's a (to my knowledge unnamed) station on the Birch Line between spawn and TildeTown West (at 260, -103), and I'm not sure if there's anyone using it. Due to it being relatively close to the other two stops and not having much activity right by it I'm inclined to close it and remove the stop. There's also a small junction on the spawn side of that station for an "under construction" tunnel that I don't think has been touched in the past couple of months that I'm planning to remove regardless. I don't want to mess up anyone else's experience but I would like to clean up that stretch of the line since it's often one of the first parts newcomers to the server will see.

Following up on the junction I made for the northern end of the Cherry Line I think it would be nice to have automatic transfers between lines so you wouldn't need to leave your minecart to change between the Birch/Cherry Lines (at TildeTown West) or Birch/Sandstone Lines (TildeTown South Station). That will probably require some restructuring of the stations to move things around and make it work but it should be more convenient overall once finished.

I genuinely don't know if this will work but I started on an in-game map of the rail lines using a pixel art style that could ideally be posted at each station once finished. Need to add a few map markers to see how it looks first and then if that's good go through with it.

Alright, the Lights Out game is functioning, but it doesn't have a building yet so be careful at night, or in other words, when the lights go out. I also made a little clock tower by the town hall with a bell that will theoretically ring at Minecraft noon each in-game day.

Shoutout to Evie (don't know their Tildes username) for showing me their giant dirt pit and teaching me how to use the wings and fireworks to fly around. They called the big thing in the pit the South Tower, IIRC.

Only popped in for a few minutes to check out the latest progress and there's been a huge amount of it. Very cool!

Hey all! I've got a redstone project I'm working on that I need a small bit of help with if someone is good with that sort of thing. I have used noteblocks to create a secret song for my nature path, but the problem is I can't figure out the best way to activate the loop in the way I want. Basically I want to push a button to have the song start to loop and when you press the same button again the loop will end. Seems like a simple problem but I can't figure out the best way to make it happen. Everything I'm trying either just doesn't work or causes the song to play over itself.

Edit 2: Thanks so much @Oslypsis!!!! I would never have figured that out! Now I can copy it and make more if I want!!!

Hey, I might jump into the server these days, I've slowly got back the itch to play Minecraft.

Is there anything I should know beforehand, besides the usual "have fun, don't be a dick to others"?

we got customizable armor stands! thanks tea

This might be a bigger project than I should really take on, but I'd like to eventually make a picture of my dog Jasper. This would be 250x250 blocks. o.O

If anybody who is good at the mapping stuff can see any problems with this before I start please let me know. I think it should fit perfectly into chunk borders. I'll build it somewhere out in the snowy area with the Mr. Fluffykins.

These are the total blocks I'll need, if anybody is able to make any donations they'd be appreciated! I'm gonna wait until I have all the blocks before I start so I might have to try building a couple farms first if someone else doesn't make them, primarily the afk tree farm but a concrete maker would be good too. I've got a bunch of other stuff I want to make as well so this is definitely a long term goal.

Y'all I can successfully report that Dynmap Web Chat is officially working!

Tagging @Gravysleeves @Bendvis cause I believe you were asking/testing this before too

Now that we have the armor statues book, is there any way we can get the More Mob Heads datapack? it would be nice to give these statues faces. We would just have to keep the "dont be a dick" rule in effect since players would also drop their head when they die. But it allows for mob heads from all mobs and less dependent on storms

@teaearlgraycold could I get 24 of those invisible item frames Noox got? Thinking about making a little lights out game. The relevant code is
/give @p item_frame{EntityTag:{Invisible:1b}}

@teaearlgraycold, I was looking online for the webchat issue with Dynmap, would you mind taking a look at what I found? Apologies if you've already done this, but could you check the configuration.txt file and see if login-enabled: true is included? That's a prerequisite of allowing webchat to work :)

@teaearlgraycold came and took a peek around my nature path last night and suggested that I should post some pictures here. Come have a search for the treasure!

I think I'm going to build a glow squid farm soon. I keep running out of glow ink. This is the one I'm planning to build, I just gotta find a good spot to put it.

Is there a list of modifications/changes that the server uses compared to a Vanilla 1.20 world? Like I noticed the set tick speed is higher then it is on a normal MC world, at least I think it is, the leaves seems to break faster than normal, but then again I haven't actually played that much on 1.20, recently I have been playing this Beta 1.7.3 mod called Reindev, so I may have forgotten how modern minecraft works a bit.
