I joined the server around the time of the last biweekly thread and my museum at 1100, -850 is coming along great! I've been very happy to see so many people visiting and helping out with it and the towers beneath it, hooking it up to transit, etc. etc. I'd tag them here but honestly so many people have been so friendly and helpful I'd be pinging half the active userbase. Everyone's worked hard to cultivate this fantastic, collaborative vibe and it feels really special.
Your build has come along impressively fast and it's really awesome! I can't recommend enough that people go visit if they haven't already.
Crazy Mod Idea:
How do people feel about a new mod that places the End above the overworld?
I can also try implementing any other ideas you all have if it's easy enough and there's enough support.
I don't have a strong opinion either, but personally I think I slightly prefer to keep things standard. Maybe we could have a poll?
Heres a strawpoll https://strawpoll.com/X3nk4r8XBgE
Would this be something like a bukkit/paper plugin or a datapack? I don't really have a strong opinion or anything, just curious. :)
Paper plugin
Also not sure how anyone feels about world gen changes, but I quite enjoy this datapack that improves end city generation.
I don't hate the idea of not worrying about the void in the end. Also, don't hate having to search for return portals after end raiding. But its also not such a huge problem that I have strong feelings about it.
I think that sounds cool. How far up do you go to get to the end, y=400?
Yeah
Ooh, it would definitely need to be higher than that — when it’s raining, and I’m Riptide flying, I can regularly shoot well above that height just by accidentally looking upwards by a tiny bit.
Also, I’ve never played with that plugin — are there loading screens or stutters associated with it?
Well I’d be making it from scratch, so I can only guess at some of the details - but there would definitely be a loading screen like there normally is for cross-dimension travel.
I’ll only implement it if there’s strong support for the idea.
If you do this, what happens with other entities from the end? Say, you flood an end island, and all the water is flowing off the edges. Does it then pour over into the overworld? That would be weird. Or you throw stuff away into the void, does it fall into the overworld?
It could be anything we want. I would assume water would not transfer. Items would.
In that case, there should probably be some mechanic like with portals where when something goes through, it loads the chunk for a few seconds. That would allow for building some farms in the end and sending the goods back into the overworld.
I'm imagining an overworld chunk filled with ender pearls dumped from a super efficient enderman farm... 😂
Hello again all! I recently added some new penguin friends around town. Saw the idea in a video and just had to add them. I've also been having a blast with the armor stand mod, come check out my ship and crew near my place if you haven't already (still need a few skeleton head to finish the skeleton crew)! I have also added some other new decorations around and in my house. I'm also building a big storage system in my basement. I'm also considering expanding my nature path into a nature preserve and covering more of the island I'm on. @ColdheartsTalon found the hidden treasure so I'm going to have to make the next one even harder!
Check out the golf clubhouse, too. I've been really filling it out with the statues and heads. Its really coming to life
Ooo I love the penguins!! And it gave me an excuse to watch this amazing gem again
The winter decorations are so wonderful. I came to my base in town and was pleasantly pleased to see all the snow around my house. -Herven
Also joined the server around the last time this thread was posted and I'm still just in awe at what people have built. It's genuinely amazing. Lots of cool buildings, art, farms, etc. All I've managed to build in the last two weeks is a little shelter for myself that is basically just a hole in the ground with a glass roof. I'm still not entirely sure what I want to contribute to the server. I might expand on the Metro system and either build more stations for the existing Arcadia line in TildeTown or build a new line.
I remember there being a Patreon link to donate to the server before, could someone send me it? I'd love to throw a few bucks at this server and keep it going!

Thank you! We're about
50%63% donation funded right now.Edit: Thanks to the newest donators!
Thank you for the link and the server! Happy to send a few bucks your way because I know that running a performant Minecraft server isn't cheap.
Always happy to have the public transit contributed to :)! Only thing is that me and @Durinthal have been discussing removing the Elevated Line (acacia line) and instead connecting things underground. That would allow the trade Hall to become a metro stop, rather than an EL stop. The EL isn't used much ATM and used to be on the outskirts of town, whilst it's much more in the way now that tildetown has expanded as much as it has.
I've also been thinking about adding a line from @Evie 's build until @ColdheartsTalon 's build, which then crosses the Cherry line roughly between the iron farm and the snowy beach stations.
@zatamzzar I also saw your request to have a ring around the town - if we add the trade Hall to the sandstone line we'd essentially be halfway through a circle, though you'd have a transfer between the birch and sandstone... Your request has been noted and let's see what we can do :p
Which of my builds? My half finished, neglected base?
That one yes :p
I like the idea of the elevated line in town but I feel like it can get in the way of builds and needs to avoid existing structures itself so it's difficult to weave through town. I'm also not sure how many people are using it at this point since getting to be redundant with mostly covering the same ground as the trio of stops on the Birch/Sandstone Lines now (Central, Arena, and the new Trade Harbour which doesn't need that land but is next door).
A ring line would be helpful, especially as people spread out from the TildeTown area. I was also thinking of an "express" line, taking you from Spawn straight to TildeTown and maybe other areas as well but I'm not sure how useful it would really be.
I've seen some videos about automatic routing systems that could be a nice upgrade but haven't yet fully understood them to get a grasp on how much work that would be and if it's even feasible for our network.
The stretch between Spawn and TildeTown is on my list to clean up regardless since that's one of the roughest (and I imagine oldest) sections currently.
I also think a loop could be useful but I haven't visualized which areas it should pass through yet so any suggestions there would help. The segment @Noox proposed bridging the northern Cherry/Sandstone Lines could be a start and maybe cover @zatamzzar's request as part of it.
Our crumbling infrastructure! I will be signing an executive order to allocate $1 Billion to a retrofit of the old rail line.
An automated routing system sounds super cool though, like you said, not sure if it's feasible for the current Metro network. Saw you mentioned a line between Evie's new build and ColdheartsTalon build. I think that would be pretty useful if it would also connect to the Cherry line, maybe at the iron farm? Something like ColdheartsTalon build -> Iron Farm -> Castle Frye -> Evie's build? This could then connect with the ring line if it was something like: Spawn -> TildeTown Central -> Norlan/Darkcliff/something major in the eastern side -> Castle Frye -> Iron Farm -> Spawn.
I was thinking a loop that might reach my "outpost(s)" in the north would be nice, if that distance is acceptable. Thanks for the consideration!
Ooh let me know if you look into adding that line between Evie and ColdheartsTalon, I've been toying with the idea of building a branch line that connects my farm to one of the major lines and I'm not far from there.
If you want to help me decorate the clubhouse, youre more than welcome. Ive got an entire floor I dont know what to do with.
I was surprised to find this near TildeTown - and it's not even been looted yet!
A suggestion for future public transit - can we have a "ring" built around the main settled areas?
Maybe this could be added? https://vanillatweaks.net/picker/crafting-tweaks/
This is what I would choose: https://i.jaoh.xyz/Screenshot_20231210_022340.png
Generally I'd rather not fiddle with crafting recipes, but some of those seem nice enough and don't really change the game, like "straight to shapeless." Also categories like "back to blocks" or "more blocks" don't really change the routes you'd take to obtain items, but let you make better use of the items you already have.
Most of those other options actually change routes when crafting items though, and I'd rather avoid that. For example "unpackable wool" makes it so you can farm string with sheep, rather than spiders and bartering. Same with some of the other "Craftable X" and "Quality of Life" categories.
I would be interested in adding this specific pack that makes deepslate work in the stonecutter. I pretty exclusively use a silk touch pick to mine and the extra step of converting to cobbled deepslate is annoying. Works in 1.20 as I use it in my 1.20 single player world.
There is also this pack that I have not personally tried, but might be another interesting alternative. Could be nice QoL for later game builds as it allows the conversion of stone to cobble without having to place anything in the world and remine.
Hey @noox, I know there's been some discussion recently about the cat spawner not working. I assume the old villagers were removed on purpose? I put two new villagers in there and I bred them once before I went to sleep last night, maybe some new recruits might fix it? I figure it's worth a try.
Hey Gravy! Ah, thanks for letting me know!
So the Cat Spawner was working, but it turns out it's just super duper slow. Probably some spawning update from 1.20.2 that's just not listed online anywhere.
However, a couple days ago the spawner got struck by lightning and all the villagers got turned into witches :( I had no idea that was a thing, sigh. Talon got rid of the witches for me and I was gonna refill the spawner with villagers myself, but I got distracted by Fallout 4 these past few days :p
Thanks for getting the villagers in! Though, if you wouldn't mind and are still around, could ya plop a lightning stick down so the same thing doesn't happen again? Hah
I'm at work right now, but I will if I get on again before you!
Update @noox, it seems to be working again! I bred the villagers again and I've gotten two cats within a few minutes! I've also added some lighting rods so there shouldn't be anymore unfortunate witch incidents!
Edit: or maybe I just got lucky. Haven't gotten any more yet in the last 15 minutes or so.
Edit: and then another appears as I make the last edit. I dunno. shrug
Edit: So final verdict. Definitely working again, still seems a bit slower than 1 per minute, but I have had a few spurts of good luck where I got several in a row quickly. Sometimes had to wait 15 minutes or more. I've been experimenting with giving the villagers more bread as well as resetting their workstations to see if that helps. Results unclear.
Hahaha thank you for your due diligence!! From the picture i can see that you're probably quite set in terms of kitty's :p
If you were trying for a specific breed or for the achievement, you know you can despawn them under the villagers right? That's why the portal is there :p
Thanks again Gravy, good to know it's working again!!
Or you can manually despawn them. Should get a new hat approx every 3rd cat.
edit: all varieties have their own hats.
|>:(
What? Winter is coming and my head gets cold
I didn't want to go killing cats, but I might have to if I can wear their heads afterwards.
Ah, so that's why the portal is there. Good to know. I did get several duplicates but I didn't want to kill them so I gave them all names and scattered them around my place.
Geez! Where is everybody?
Just started a new job so don't have the time or energy to play so much. Hopefully will be on some this weekend though.
Congrats on the new job!
I stayed up literally all night playing Wednesday night so I didn't play any yesterday evening. I'll be on again tonight. Dunno where everyone else is, but I'd wager the holidays have something to do with it. People to visit, shopping to do, new games on sale to play. Though it seems even @teaearlgraycold has forgotten about us seeing as the new biweekly thread isn't up yet. :(
People see other people? Yeah right. I call bs
It's mostly the games I bet.
That sounds about right.
I'm actually gonna be offline starting tomorrow for a week. My little nieces are going to be around, so it would be difficult to have enough time to do anything.
Are you able to connect via Switch? I'm trying to figure out how and I'm failing
Some platforms won't allow you to connect to custom servers. But other devices running bedrock edition can connect.
After doing a bit of research I learned there is a workaround involving manually choosing a DNS, but I'm still working on it. Hopefully I can join you guys soon!
