    I've built a drowned farm for Nautilus Shells and Tridents at 935 200 -810. It is very ugly, but very functional. For now there is a scaffolding tower to get to a small landing platform with the killing chamber, but I'll link a portal tomorrow to make the commute easier. There is also a defo not a mistake cobblestone spire to mark the location :)

    Bluemap now has a maximum render radius of 6000 blocks. I'll let that render and measure the increase in storage utilization to judge what the radius can be.

      I'm pretty sure community storage was running at the time of the backup. I'm trying to check if anything is broken, but admittedly I don't know much about this particular system or what is expected to break and am instead just leaning on general redstone knowledge. So if anyone that knows more about storage wants to take a look that would probably be a good idea.

      It seems like the shulker it was unloading got mis-filtered in some way which caused it to start unloading the shulker contents into the shulker return chest, but it stopped doing that after a few stacks of items so I'm currently assuming it fixed itself when it switched to the next shulker.

      Edit: I pulled all the shulkers out of the input chest and the buffers behind, but as far as I can tell nothing is broken. I didn't see any stuck pistons or anything like that. Just to be safe though I manually sorted the input shulkers so maybe someone that knows more about the system can take a look. While I do think I generally understand it there are some oddities, such as dispensers in locations that I don't understand the purpose of being dispensers, that make it possible I'm missing something.

        If you go behind the maintenance door and up the ladder to the top above the main hall - each slice of the storage system has a stack of several droppers all pointing into each other. These all must be empty. Of the main storage system, this is the thing most likely to break during unexpected world reload.

        It's tedious but the only way to ensure items don't go missing in the filter chests is to click through all those droppers and be sure they're empty. If you do find any items in those droppers, also look through the filter chests to be sure each filter item has a stack of 2. If there's a stack with more than 2 items, those extras can be removed from the filter chests.

        I'll probably be on tonight to check this but it might be good if anyone has a chance to do that before then.

        I haven't looked at the shulker unloaders in much detail so I don't really have advice there.

          Which to some degree makes sense. The 3d rendering isn't done on the server but in the browser. The material that is being stores and send also likely is lighter. Dynmap just was sending a steady stream of screenshots effectively. Where with this map it sends the 3d model and textures. Since textures can be reused (think grass, stone, etc) it makes for less data overal.

      Having looked at a few of the markers it has become clear that the transport lines do need some adjusting as some of them are missing a few corners and have wonky locations.

      To update the markers a few options came up already.

      • There is this plugin which seems quite okay. Permissions would need some figuring out. By default, the permission a player can get only allows to update their own sets for example but there seems to be a permission to override that.
      • Pickles mentioned setting up a simple pipeline. So having the config (or at least the marker sets) in a repo where I can push updates and these then get added to the map.
      • I can also keep updating the gists, but that would require you to take action every time I have an update and that would mean I need to get it perfect every time or it becomes tedious very fast.
      • Something else?

      The plugin if it works would be nice for simple markers. But to be honest, the pipeline approach would have my preference so I can just edit text files and don't have to wrangle a GUI.

    I have started work on the last big piece for the arena itself (still want to do landscaping, extend the road and lime line but that is for later). I think I'll be able to finish it this weekend.

    But, I also think that somewhere along the line the scoring mechanism stopped working properly in some instances. Basically not all player "lockers" seem to register a dead anymore. Probably a dust line that got broken somewhere and I'll look into it at some point. But if someone else wants to double check the redstone related to the scoring board that would be appreciated as well.

    Edit:

    Done:

    @eyechoirs

    Still need to double check some redstone and start with landscaping + infrastructure but the arena itself is now done!

    Edit2: Did some Redstone debugging with the help of @TaylorSwiftsPickles and everything is now working properly as far as I can tell.

      I believe when us 4 tested the arena a long time ago, the scoring had some issues, so it may have been that way for awhile now.

        I know eyechoirs made modifications afterward. This isn't that, it simply seems to be broken lines for some of the player locker rooms. Probably a result of me moving some things slightly when trying to finish the exterior.

        I'll investigate it properly once I am done with the exterior, but if someone before that has some time and the inclination to double check the redstone that would be appreciated as well :)

        Edit: Arena is done, started looking at the redstone faults I found. Broken lines indeed so far.

    I finally have a few of my farms up and running in a start my slow takeover of some islands to the north. My vision is to turn the central island into a base and the outer islands into a variety of farms that hopefully I can eventually theme into some cohesive ways, such as a theme or biome per island.

    The initial ones probably seem a bit pointless and duplicate with existing farms, but were designed and built with a few extra constraints. The farms have the eventual goal of allowing playerless interconnected functionally, as well as turning off automatically and being reload safe because I'm bad about never remembering to turn things off manually.

    So far fully working are bone blocks, dried kelp blocks, bamboo, bamboo blocks, and bamboo planks. All of those are set up such that if you take some it will automatically turn the farms back on and run them until it fills back up, even if you leave.

    Partially working/next on the list is a cobble farm. This is in large part because community storage seems sorely lacking in cobble and I'd like to fix that. The farm does function and produces about a shulker of cobble every 2-3 minutes, but I've not set up the collection system at all yet. Not only does it all need to be collected and packed into shulkers, my intent is to hook it to the previously mentioned kelp farm. What I want is for the cobble farm to be capable of requesting dried kelp directly from the other farm, without player interaction, and to use that to also smelt and pack stone and smooth stone.

      I ended up too lazy to do all the smelting at the cobble farm. It ended up a bit too fast to be easy to deal with the items so adding smelting in would've made it more complex than I wanted. Instead it is just packing all the cobble into shulkers and I've been dumping said shulkers into community storage. So far I've dumped in maybe 30 shulkers of cobble. Maybe later I'll set up a shulker smelter and just call that good enough for stone and smooth stone.

      Not quite sure what'll be next. On the fence about building my playerless wheat farm design to make target blocks easier. Its a pretty simple design that doesn't depend on random tick, but not sure if lots of wheat would actually be of that much value. I don't tend to need tons of target blocks, so unless someone else has a use for lots of wheat I'm not sure it would ever really be of that much value.

          As @TaylorSwiftsPickles said we have a railway/transport system on the server on the regular world. We also have various canals and other bits and pieces of infrastructure.

          All of this can be viewed on the server dynmap but you do need to enable the transport layer in order to be able to view it:

          1. On the top left there is an option to show normally hidden layers, one of these shows transport stops and transport lines.
          2. On the right side of the map you will find a menu that can fold out, it allows you to select different worlds and shows the available markers. If some farms/factories seem far away, make sure to check if there might be a nether roof portal.

          As you can also see farms are also listed on dynmap. If you want yours added just give me a shout and I will add them.

          Just as a general reminder, that goes for everybody. If anyone wants their home added or if farms are missing leave me a message here as a reply or ping me.

          I'll probably work on those tomorrow, starting with the end stone (unless someone else does until then, but please do let me know beforehand so I don't waste time doing something someone else already did).

          The materials are currently sitting on an ever-expanding chest monster in Shroomlandia.

          However what I suggest we actually do is build the map art "on top" of the giant mushroom island (3000 -1500) because the mobs spawning gets really annoying. I've already griefed that island to oblivion when gathering mushroom blocks anyway, so it's not like anyone would live there anyway.

          Edit: Now removed end stone from the matrix above

          Edit 2: All materials have now been gathered

            Edit: Four shulker boxes of endstone has been brought to Shroomlandia. I also inputted a bit more than one shulker into community storage in case you end up needing more. Also, I feel like the ice boat tunnel needs a better staircase in Shroomlandia, and also a bit easier to refind the staircase back down

        To whom it may concern:

        Following Evie's approval, I have created a small platform (made of moss) on top of the giant mushroom island (3137, 230, -1334) as a base of operations for the project. On this platform we currently have:

        • The shulkers containing all(?) the materials for the project
        • A bed
        • A nether roof portal
        • A crafting table
        • An ender chest
        • A shulker with porkchops
        • A shulker with fireworks
        • A myself

        I have created a placement on my litematica, based on 6 maps I generated (stored in one of the aforementioned shulkers) and surrounded the placement on 3 sides with moss. On the north side, the placement has no moss; instead, it has cobblestone exactly as shown in the schematic. This means, when you load the schematic:

        • The schematic should be on the same y level as the surrounding moss blocks and cobblestone blocks
        • The schematic's west, south, and east sides should be surrounded by moss blocks, which should not overlap with the actual schematic
        • The schematic should face north, such that the line of cobblestone (as mentioned by Evie) is on the north side and overlaps with the cobblestone I've already placed
        • The only side of the map where the circumferential blocks cross a chunk boundary that is not rendered in any of the maps I've generated is the north side, and in specific the single row of cobblestone blocks (as mentioned by Evie)

        If you've downloaded the schematic from Evie's bitwarden link, the coordinates should be (3008, 226, -1601), but do double check just in case.

        For reference: The maps I've mentioned were generated in this pattern (these are their ids):

    @j0hn1215 we have a serious issue! @TaylorSwiftsPickles raised the point that trucks might have trouble supplying the mall with the current loading area design. Having had a look at it myself and consulted my inner traffic engineer I tend to agree.

    My proposal is to move the walls on at least the sides (marked green) or even on all three sides. I do realize that this brings down the amount of parking lots, but it would give supply trucks room to maneuver.

    Of course, this assumes that at some point we will have actual trucks on the off loading ramps ;)

      I'll look tonight for a solution: your suggestions look good, and relatively easy to implement. But, if American design has taught me anything, the solution will be either adding more lanes, or adding more parking (or reducing public transit frequency)

    The gallery in the mall is now open! You can find it on the top floor, directly above the jewellery store. Keeping on my theme of outsourcing collaborative building I've opened the gallery without covering all the walls in art. If there's anything you want to add to the gallery, feel free to do so. About the only restriction I'll put in place is that it can't disturb other people's additions, but otherwise pretty much anything is fair game.

                  Hey @Evie!

                  Considering the sea level thing you mentioned: As far as I know, map art only cares about the relative height between any block and the block directly north of it. I made a little test in a test world to see if I'm wrong but I can't see any difference in shading between the one I placed at roughly y=256 and the one I placed at roughly y=-60

                  If you don't see any difference either (well, apart from me misaligning them by one block because of the cobblestone part at the north side in both cases), I'd like to build it in the sky over the enormous mushroom island northwest of your base.

                  Concrete will not be hard considering that we have a concrete powder duplication farm & a datapack that allows us to convert it to solid concrete by just yeeting it into a cauldron. The stained clay should also not be a problem because we have plenty of mesa and mesa-like biomes. The only thing that makes the build process inefficient (in my view) appears to be the dithering.

      Some behind the scenes details
      • Here's the map art build in the end.
        • And from above. The most obvious difference to me are the froglights, which are bright in-game but dull on the map.
        • The glass underneath makes the background transparent instead of grey.
      • I could not have built this without both Litematica and MapartCraft
        .
        • I went with Bayer dithering rather than the default Floyd-Steinberg because it left the blacks blacker.
      • The first schematic I generated used nearly 500 raw iron blocks. After a couple of hours digging out the large iron vein under my house I came to two conclusions:
        1. Digging for raw iron sucks.
        2. I wasn't going to get enough.
      • For the second schematic I removed the raw iron, which changed other parts of the schematic so I had to gather a bunch of extra blocks.
      • I had a separate copy of the placement above the storage room for material list reasons. This saved a lot of time.
        • You can see it has redstone blocks where it should be transparent. The schematic generator doesn't handle transparency and requires a solid background. Redstone blocks don't appear anywhere else, so I used a solid red background and later modified the schematic to remove them all.
      • Tweakermore has an option called autoCollectMaterialListItems which will pull resources out of shulker boxes based on the material list.
        • Using this with Render Layers in the X or Z direction and the material list in Render Layers mode made building it in segments much easier.
        • Depending on which slice I was building, I could usually fit about 5-6 rows of blocks in a single inventory (the number will differ depending on what you're building, since I had a lot of item types to deal with).

          Correct. It's also almost exactly to-scale with the real-life painting (the map art, not the blocks in The End. You'd need a really big museum for that one).

    Edit: This is highly annoying to deal with. I am trying to get stuff done and am not about to carry around buckets of milk just to do stuff near town.

    I also don't think it is very newbie friendly.
    It simply is too close to the route to the iron farm, the lime line, a player house, the canal locks, etc. So I am honestly of the opinion that it either gets moved or disposed of.

      The debug stick let's you alter the block state of certain blocks. It's mostly a tool used for decorating. You know how fences and stairs can look different depending on what they are connected to? With the stick you can manually pick what shape the block takes regardless of what it connects to. It's also handy for glazed terracotta blocks which are tricky to position the way you want. I also just learned today you can use it on redstone blocks. So when you need an observer to face a certain way, but you can't quite get the angle right, you can just set it down however and then change it with the stick.

      Edit: Another interesting use I learned, you can make furnaces appear to be lit even when they aren't actually being used!

    Fyi for everyone enjoying the new and shiny blue map. All markers have been transferred including the transport lines. Just like before they don't show by default to prevent clutter, but you can enable them easily.

    In the top left corner of the map you'll find a so called "hamburger menu" icon. Clicking on it will open the menu giving you all sorts of options for the map. One of them is called "Markers" and allows you to turn on or off sets. As you can see in the screenshot there is also a "players home" marker set which is not enabled by default.

    So I am thinking my next project is going to be an airship. I have not picked an exact spot, but I am considering either doing it above Town Square or near the villager trading hall. Part of my reasoning for those locations is to partially disrupt the areas and encourage new development around there. I feel like those areas have stagnated a bit, and it would be cool to see some later game builds pop up around there. Let me know if anyone has concerns with either of those areas

      Airships are fun!, they also have a lot of room inside. This was my airship on the previous server iteration where we had a harbor where I could make it fit nicely.

      Anyway, I don't think you can force new development, but both locations work nicely either way for an airship.
      I'd put my vote on above the trading hall as sort of a supply vessel bringing all the goods the villagers have up for trade.

      Edit:

      Just throwing this here as a third option, because I think the tree farm looks like the empire state building a bit.

        It is not so much forcing development, so much as introducing a new building style in that area. Town center is kind of has a prescribed building style, which has the effect of cohesion but also can be limiting in preventing people from building in their preferred style. I am not advocating for having people build cyberpunk skyscrapers right in the center of town, but having a bit more variance could be beneficial.

        My idea for the airship cabin was to have an adventurer's lounge, with some maps of the server. Therefore, your idea of a supply vessel for the trading hall does not work with my vision. The idea of it being docked to a scyscraper is a solid idea, and I was considering potentially having it connected to the nether portal tower.

              I don't know which one you placed first, but I think the one I pointed an arrow at works best. As far as sight lines go as the one I crossed out would block the other side of the river for people coming down the central path in town. If you like that location more I think placing it along the green line's orientation there might work a bit better?

              I also marked three other possible locations using the green lines (without the arrow tip). Each line representing how the airship would be aligned. I think that the viewing platform would make for a really neat airship dock with a few modifications.

              Anyway, just my thoughts, your build obviously :)

                Actually, the one you prefer is the one I don't like. The spot you prefer I feel would just awkwardly interrupt the sightlines of the nether portal tower, which I feel is more of a landmark for the town square. Whereas, the one that does interrupt the views of across the river would not actually impact that view too much except for those running distant horizons, since on foot there actually isn't too many viewpoints that the tower is visible from. I am still playing around with positions though, and have not finalized on anything yet

The relatively normal map mods, freecam, minihud, litematica, and even some inventory management mods are pretty common amongst us. Something like an xray mod used to find diamonds would be frowned upon.

        That's was mostly just Tea toying around with the render distance of the map. The first time we ran out of storage it was because it was set to cover all of the map. This time, I guess Tea changed it from 9000 blocks out to 10000 blocks out, because until today we didn't run out of storage since the range was dropped back to 5000 blocks out.

        We could as well have had the same issues on dynmap too. It's just that Tea never went above 5000 blocks out, mostly due to storage reasons.

      I've been having unusual lag the past few days. I thought it was just me, but I confirmed with @annemaricotta and @IsildursBane just now, they are also experiencing issues with the server.

        I am not sure if that lag is related, this is simply the server running out of disk space again. Which I just checked by sshing into it.

        I've been breaking a very great deal of long grass and it's been a bit strange over the last couple of days.

        I just noticed this morning (North America) the lag. Last night it was fine for me. So it seems more sudden to me, but for Gravy it seems like it has been gradually getting worse. Not sure if that...

          To add onto this, I joined a bit later when it was just myself and AFK j0hn. The lag was significantly worse, where when walking around town I would and teleport back a few blocks. I started building but after a bit, I logged off due to the lag being too bad. In that session I gathered materials from storage and placed them in shulkers and reorganized my inventory. I just joined back on and the shulkers I placed were there with materials I gathered in them, the materials were no longer in storage so they did not duplicate, however my inventory was reset back to the previous session. I feel like this may be a bit hard to follow, so I will point form it:

          1. Logged on

          2. Took items out of my inventory and put them into shulkers

          3. Grabbed items out of storage, put some in shulkers and some in my inventory

          4. Built a bit

          5. Logged off

          6. Logged on later

          7. Inventory was the same as in step 1, but also the items were also placed in the shulkers as placed in step 2

          8. Step 3 items were taken out of storage and placed in shulkers correctly

          I want to say, the items duped and lost were low value. I am not concerned about the actual items, it is a couple stacks of wool that was lost, and a couple stacks of dark oak logs that were duped.

            The disk of the server is full, I already said that ;) It means nothing you currently do on the server sticks properly.

      That's definitely a mistake. Duck hasn't been online in over a month because of her university exams. Also it should be showing her Tildes name on the tracker anyway, no?

        Might be acting up because of the server disk issues.
