    Hello everyone! I think most of you have already met me online, but I thought I'd wait for the new weekly thread before posting this.

    I joined the server a couple of days ago and have been getting myself set up pretty well. About the only thing I feel lacking in is a solid supply of dyes for armour stand work, but I'll sort that out in time. I originally set myself a goal of building a house, mining diamonds, and maybe going to the end (though regular progression) before gearing myself out, but that lasted all of about... 1 day. That said, I did get my starter house mostly built so if you make your way to the train station at 65,215 (next to the villager trading hall) and follow the path south you'll find your way there.

    And no I'm not giving the coordinates to the house directly because I've spent hours building a path to my house and I want that path to be used. The half of it leading to town is mostly decorated as of posting this comment, but there are still details to work out. The other half leads to spawn and needs more love. I know everyone is using elytra to get around (including myself), but I want to focus on building things that are worth walking through. While I do have screenshots that I could post, I want you to experience it for yourself.

    I didn't find a way to work it into the previous paragraphs, so I'll put it here on its own. Thank you to everyone who has helped set up Tilde Town and the wider server. Community storage meant I could actually build my house to the size that matched my ambition for a starter house. The trading hall meant it only took a couple of hours to go from no gear to max diamond. The iron supply and various farms meant I had the emeralds to do that. The community spirit is great, and I hope to contribute to it in time.

    I've also been busy over in @GravySleeve's mall building a shop: the secret_agent detective agency (I even cracked out the shaders for some screenshots). In order to justify the dark corridor leading up to it I also built two tiny apartments to go with it. That brings me to the bit where you get to join in. There's a bunch of armour stands in there without heads, feel free to place your head on one of the armour stands.

    Some extra design decisions that went into the secret_agent build
    • I was originally going to try fit the secret_agent shop in just half a plot, but when I wanted to have the corridor as a buffer between the bright and open area of the mall and the cramped interior of the shop I realised I'd have to use the full thing.
      • The apartments were just me filling space. There isn't much that I'd be able to fit in there otherwise, and I didn't want to add another shop as it would distract from the secret_agent office.
      • Still, making apartments that tiny was a challenge. There's not a lot of floor space as soon as you start furnishing.
    • The outside of the "shop" is a blank wall because I wanted it to blend into the background of the mall. There's so much focus on shops with bright lights and colours that I wanted to do the opposite.
      • I only realised this later, which meant I had to tear down the corridor and adjust at one point. Luckily I hadn't put up all of the walls yet.
      • In order to add more visual interest to the outside I added the water cooler and bench. It just needed something simple that felt like it belonged. Of course, no mall would have a random water cooler out in the open, there'd be a vending machine for bottled water instead but I wanted to make the bubbles/ice in the cooler so I did that instead.
    • The corridor inside is made to feel a little uncomfortable, as it's not a space that you're really meant to hang around in (unless you're the two armour stands in the dark end).
    • The lamp/plant immediately to your right upon entering the hallway is meant to draw your attention to that side of the build, since that's actually where you need to go. Without it that side just got lost in the darkness.
    • All of the doors have pressure plates, except for the one leading from the corridor to the office itself. This is so that door stays open, drawing your eye to the thing that is actually important in this build.
      • The pressure plates leading from the mall into the corridor are placed on the outside so the doors close when you walk in, shutting you inside the more cramped space and completely blocking out the rest of the mall.
    • If you want to give secret_agent a case, just be aware he's not very good at his job.
      • The shelf next to secret_agent himself has blank books and a space to put them. I'll only check the shelf very occasionally, so the fastest way to get him on the case is to message me directly. But still write the book.
      • There are written books on one of the shelves referring to different cases I've taken on in other servers.

      I have not been online recently so I have not met you, but welcome. Glad you were able to make use of community storage, it just got a revamp in the past few weeks. Eyechoirs has a dye repository...

      I am excited to check out your place when I am back on in the new year. As for your comment that everyone on the server uses elytras, it is just because you have not been on when I have been on. I keep one around and occasionally use it, but I normally walk or use horses/metro to get around
