    I realize that some of you didn't join this season, but I couldn't differentiate using the nickname plugin. So, thank you for playing at some point!

    I enjoyed the time I spent on the server. I wish I had more time to put into it but I got my Minecraft fix so all is good.

    Will the new server (in some months) be a new world? I felt like I was coming in "late" where most things were already built and up and running, and it would be neat to be at the ground level on the next round. I will keep a sharp eye out for the next iteration regardless!

    Just going to do this as a seperate comment, so it doesn't get overlooked. In the world download file (see my other comment) there is also a directory called stats which as it turns out contains player stats. I already made a quick and dirty dashboard where you could paste in the json data, but that would require you to find out what your minecraft UUID is, etc, etc.

    no more!

    Shiny dashboard where you can just click on your name and see some stats for this season

    screenshot

    Disclaimer: I hacked this togeter just for fun and giggles. I also outsourced some of the work to an LLM for a bunch of the boilerplate. I did a bunch of cleanup on the most silly errors and then combined a few bits and pieces from the webchat mod to create the player list. Most stats seem to be somewhat accurate, but it is entirely possible that some of them are just plain wrong.

      Thanks a lot for doing this, honestly, even if you outsourced part of the work to an LLM. It's a REALLY cool to be able to see and compare all this information in such an easy to visualise way, and I remember e.g. Gravy and I comparing some of our stats manually some weeks ago. I really don't think most of us would bother looking into those otherwise, but it's super cool to see it.

      I was thinking that MAYBE I'll write a quick python script sometime and output a leaderboard of all "competitive-like" stats among all players and make a post about it. But I don't promise I'll do it, or that I'll do it soon if I do. We'll see.

        A leaderboard is also something I might hack in at some point. But, scope creep :P So I'll leave that to you, maybe, someday, possibly ;)

                Yeah fair enough. If anything I feel like that, for a survival server, maybe some of the stuff was too easy to access so soon in that regard. On the one hand I semi like the speedrun we did for many basic suplies so we could focus on a lot on creative projects, on the other hand it also means that some things easily loose their meaning.

                If elytra are harder to come by, other transport options become instantly more viable. For the first few weeks I did hold off on using elytra for that reason as well. Mainly when building the canals and such. But, I also don't think that imposing some artifical constraints on getting them is reasonable either.

                Artifical as a personal choice for emersion are a different matter, I do admire your dedication to sticking to other modes of transport in that regard :)

            My problem with not using an elytra is that my projects tend to take up so much time, and I often forget things I need, so for efficiency, I fly almost everywhere. I'll even fly short distances, like inside the storage depot, just to get to the chests I need. But then sometimes I'll just sit in one spot and stare at chests until I remember what I came for anyway, so I kinda need to make up lost time any way I can. XD

              If we are adding to reasons for flying, with DH I plain love soaring high above the clouds and seeing parts of the world peek through. Even with all the imperfections of DH rendering, I love sights like these

              edit:
              Some conflicting information about the flying stat, but it seems to be a collection of things like jump sprinting and also things like creative and spectator flying. The latter two don't make sense for most people though, it would for Tea and me when doing ops stuff (following shady folks in specator mode).

      A showcase of the Step Pyramid of Djan-Ra!
      Most of the description is on imgur, but a few notes:

      • Longterm, I was planning on building a full egyptian themed villager village on the eastern side of the "river" (the granite obelisk was meant to mark the center of town), a satellite pyramid to the south of the current one, and a vast area of canalled farms. Imagine that they're there.
      • The yellow glass block above the statues head is meant to catch a moment of direct sunlight at sunrise, and as the sun sets over the pyramid. (This requires ray-tracing, which I don't have, but I couldn't let go of the idea of having some sort of solar alignment in the valley temple)

    I'd like to make a quick post about my longtime build near spawn that I've been working on little by little since the first day of the server (and finally just finished before the end of the world). The main inspiration for the build was to accentuate all the light rays from the new mod packs I installed. Once the main hall was built I needed something to fill it, so I added a two tier pale oak. The open roof allows rain to fall down into the hall for extra ambiance.

    I clear cut the top of the cliff and landscaped pretty extensively. I made a fun before and after to show how much the terrain line changed. It allowed me to make some fun paths through the property including this cozy pond area.

    Also loved building this townhouse. The rooftop patio had some pretty nice views once the modern district filled in.

    Thank you Tea for hosting the server and thanks to everyone who made this community a joy to play with :D

    I go on holiday and this is what I return to?! All kidding aside, I think it is the right call as activity has died down considerably. It has been a blast though! Thank you everyone!

    I've been a busy bee finishing up projects recently, I highly recommend a visit to the mall and the airport before server shutdown! The mall is officially complete (unless someone wants to add cars to the garage), and the airport is very close (one more hangar available unless I get to it first). I did expand the Hall of Heroes as well with the intention of adding a few people (notably, I wanted to include a statue of @eyechoirs who was unable to continue playing with us).

    Edit: I made a video showcasing the Hall of Heroes as it currently exists. There are several notable names still missing including @hamstergeddon @dhcrazy333 and @zatamzzar to name a few (but anyone may still claim a spot). I already expanded the hall to include 6 new spaces this morning and 3 have since been filled. I can expand tomorrow again if necessary. Tagging @Positive (and kids) @chewonbananas @Arknata @faye_luna @Nankeru as they now have statues.

    Edit2: Expanded the hall! Come pick a spot!

    Edit3: @creesch and I filled in a bunch more statues for people! Be sure to check it out when the world download is available (or if you can get on today before shutdown)! I also just uploaded a village of Santa's Raceway Village, unfortunately the water elevator started giving me issues again. I was able to get a successful run on the racetrack for the video, but I don't think it's 100% reliable.

        I was trying to think of how to pose your armor stand, and I thought of the PvP arena you built, so I decided dual swords would be appropriate! If you want me to build an idea of your own instead,...

        Edit: Also, I've continued following your YouTube channel(which I hope you dont mind I promote a little!), even though a lot of it goes over my head. You introduced me to KGLW, which is my new favorite band! So thanks for that!

      I'll need to hop into the mall before it shuts down. Wouldn't mind claiming a spot in the Hall of Heroes if you don't mind helping out! I never actually learned how to stage the characters.

    I am currently seeding and will leave my PC on for the night.

    World info

    I already moved everything so that you can run copy it in your own minecraft saves and load the world. On loading it will say something about experimental features, just accept it (probably the datapacks).

    If you want to use commands and creative you need to open up the world to local lan and select the option to allow commands when you do so.

    Fun stuff

    There is also a directory called "stats" which appears to be player stats in json format. The name of the files is your minecraft UUID which you can find easily like on this website. I learned that I was very stubborn and have been killed 5 times by a warden, but it was zombies (74) who killed me most. Aside from players, but those also do include suicides to get my own head. Some fun stuff in there, if I have some more time I might put together some nice dashboard for all these things.

    Created a quick and dirty dashboard just throw the JSON file in there and you get some stats that are mostly right :P

    Let me know if the torrent works.

    First time creating and seeding a torrent, seems easy enough aside from finding public trackers but people already track trackers so that also turned out to be easy.

    Few random pings for people who probably are eager to download the world file

      If anyone wants it that doesn't want to deal with a torrent client directly, it is already cached on TorBox....

      If anyone wants it that doesn't want to deal with a torrent client directly, it is already cached on TorBox. https://torbox.app/quickadd?magnet=bWFnbmV0Oj94dD11cm46YnRpaDo4MWNiNDY2YzlhN2NkOTZkZDc4ZjM0MDkzNDZkMTYwZWIyNDhiOGUwJmRuPXRpbGRlc19zdXJ2aXZhbF9zZWFzb24y is the direct link to getting access to it there, although presumably you'd need an account (although a free one should work) to get it from there. For I think the next 30 days or so it could be downloaded from there without needing to directly set up torrents yourself.

      TorBox is a debriding service. This basically just means they'll convert things like torrents to regular web downloads by downloading to their cache and then providing CDN links to the file in their cache. I was surprised to see it was already cached there. If it wasn't I was planning to cache it and let it seed from TorBox too as that would keep a seed online for 30 days, but since I didn't trigger the download I don't know whether or not TorBox is seeding it.

      If anyone wants a direct web download link so that they don't need a TorBox account I can send them out. The only reason I'm not just posting one directly is that my understanding is that links expire an hour after creation so it makes more sense to send them out as requested than just post one that'll expire shortly anyway.

          I went and used MCA selector on my download without thinking about making a copy, so I can't seed anymore. But I was considering making a post stating I could make a torrent for this version of the world if anyone wanted a significantly smaller download (~9-10GB). I just deleted most of the end as well as overworld chunks with less than 5 minutes of activity.

              As long as the Terralith data pack is installed, they should render exactly as they normally would since the seed is the same. The only thing that might get missed would be small quick changes people made to a chunk as they passed through. If more than 5 minutes was spent in the chunk it doesn't get deleted. I also refrained from deleting any chunks at all for a good distance around town just in case.

              Edit: And to clarify the Terralith datapack is included with the download, creesch has it all set up so the single player experience will be identical to how things worked on the server.

                    I found a mod that does work a little bit like EAS, but it isn't nearly as smooth and convient when you are combining stands.

                    This mods works together with the datapack that is also used by the book, you need to enable that: https://modrinth.com/mod/armor-statues This one also is fairly okay and is just standalone:...

                    Both of them work by ctrl+right clicking on statues. Which is annoying with overlapping statues and where I am really missing EAS. Having said that, the work around I use is by just selecting one statue, move that a set amount up or to the side, then select the second one, see if that is the correct one, etc. It is a bit clunky but still better than just using the book.

      I already moved everything so that you can run copy it in your own minecraft saves and load the world.

      Thank you kindly!

      There is also a directory called "stats" which appears to be player stats in json format. The name of the files is your minecraft UUID which you can find easily like on this website.

        Edit: I threw together a quick dashboard with some LLM help. I went over the code and fixed a bunch of obvious and silly errors but it still isn't perfect probably. But, it is fun to look at!

        Just throw in the contents of the JSON file you want. Here is a screenshot of your stats.

          Very cool idea! The dashboard isn't working for me though, clicking on a player doesn't do anything for me. Not sure what's up with that. But it's wild looking through that screenshot to see how some of my stats came out, in particular it seems especially odd that I somehow used a Brewing Stand more than a Stonecutter? I used a stonecutter for almost every project I built, the brewing stands uses were basically only for making the splash potions for the silverfish xp farms. I guess I spent more time on those than I realized.

          Edit: Strange, if I click the link in the comment I'm replying to the dashboard doesn't work, if I use the link you edited into your original comment, it works.

          Did you see the video I made of the mall to see the changes, or see it in game perhaps before shutdown? I tried to change it as little as possible. I duplicated the Artisan Noodles sign and put one on each side of the stall, then added signs so it says Noodle Palace. The name fit the space perfectly, plus I felt it was a nice homage to the Fresh Breath Kingdom.

          I will probably seed this torrent forever.

          Do you still have the first server world available to seed? I wouldn't mind downloading it again if possible. I made changes to my original download, plus it's on my laptop which I've loaned out to a friend.

    I am doing a bunch of recordings of the awesome places on the server.

    So far I have the following:

    All of these builds are of course best explored in game, but I figured I'd record them for people who don't want to bother with the world files but still walk down memory lane at some point. They aren't all of the quality I'd like either, but still fairly decent, I wanted to make sure to record as much as possible which limits how much time I can spend on recording takes.

    I want to do some recordings of some other places as well and will be adding them as replies to this comment.

    I guess I went radio silent again. I didn't finish putting together the furnace new array, instead getting stuck in design hell trying to figure out item transport systems that were fast enough in both item input and output. But I don't need to end this world on the thing I didn't do, because I did do stuff on this world.

    Things I did end up building:

    • My house area.
      • The house, of course, all built on the hillside with as little digging as would make sense.
      • The cargo elevator.
      • The dock with its tiny boat.
      • The warehouse.
      • The train station.
      • James' Watering Hole.
      • And all of the lower area filled with so many armour stands.
      • I was experimenting with lighting with this build, trying not to use lichen and use the full range of brightnesses from 15 to 1. My favourite trick is the singer in James' Watering Hole, whose clothes/fur go from bright white in the spotlight down to a light grey, with the light on the stage actually coming from behind to sell the illusion.
    • The path to the South Valley from spawn.
      • It started as building a path from Tildes Town to my house, but then I decided it should go all the way to spawn.
      • The thing that convinced me I needed the path was Lone Table Cave. The view was just asking for a lookout.
      • The forest between the hill and Tilde Town is filled with mossy logs, all hand placed. They're denser towards the path, with a couple in deeper so it feels more natural.
      • Anywhere the forest is less dense, the roadside has little walls instead. These are to draw your eye to the path or point out something interesting when they're broken.
      • There's a little fairy circle of mushrooms along the path. It's too bright for them. So any block updates will cause them to pop off.
      • I made a little campsite in a clearing. When I started working there there were a few foxes in the area, but they've all either run away or gone down the stream.
    • The nightclub in the portal tower.
      • I love the tower, and not just for its solid building foundations that definitely don't need inspection, nosiree.
      • I especially like that one of the constraints is that you can't just swap out all of the walls, it must still be the tower. When thinking of what to do, I had the idea of using map art as wallpaper. But what would I actually build?
      • After some thought I settled on the nightclub. Its wallpaper would be easy to build, just being pure black. Except in order to make it darker it actually slopes downward towards the south.
    • The secret_agent in the mall.
      • I've had a shop like this on every server I've been on. It's just a little tradition of mine to run a bad detective agency.
      • I usually put something in front of it to "hide" it. This time it was a couple of cramped apartments.
      • There's no lighting on the walls outside the plot to sell that this isn't a place for customers.
      • Also the secret_agent itself! The investigations I did were a lot of fun, thank you to the people who put requests in. I also got to put some little puzzles together in the books, and left dead drop locations around town and some of the nearby wilderness.
    • The art gallery in the mall
      • In the span of around a month we went from almost no map art on the server to having a couple of 1x1s, a 2x2, and even a 3x2! I'm so glad people rose to the challenge here.
      • The idea for this came after I built the nightclub in the tower and I didn't know what to do with a pure black map. So I decided it would make good modern art, ready for your own interpretations.
      • But I couldn't just have a pure black map in the gallery. No, I needed something else. So I built the Mona Lisa floating in the end so everything not in the frame would be transparent. Except I forgot that you needed to place glass where you wanted transparency, so I quickly overstuffed the furnace array with so much sand that I found it couldn't handle its own input speed on loads this large.
      • Guess what, more armour stands in unique poses and unique outfits!
    • Laser kiwi. Sometimes your apocalyptic lizard needs a friend, and who better than laser kiwi.
      • This was a 1 day build, from concept, to material collection, to the final blocks placed on the server. Well, most of the material collection. I still had glass left over from playing the floor under the Mona Lisa in the end.
      • I also set out to play around with the Axiom mod for modelling larger shapes and texturing them procedurally. It was also used for the forcefield protecting the kiwi from the nuke, with the additional fun of having it fade out as it got further from the point of impact.
    • And I must mention my Hall of Heroes entry. I just love the idea of capturing the exact moment of hitting a tree while flying. If I remember correctly, I fully enchanted all the tools for this too, even though they won't get used. But the real challenge of this build was trying to fit the terrain details within the 3x3 space (ok, I cheated by having the trapdoors extend outside it. Sue me). I even included bits of the stone walls from my paths in here, though I suppose they just feel like the mossy stone boulders in a mega taiga.

    If I learned anything from this world it's "don't burn yourself out, you silly person". I tried to do a lot given the little time I was setting aside, and it got to the point where I just wasn't having fun. It was great popping on again relatively recently to see all of the progress and new things people have built. Thank you to everyone, you've been great and I look forward to playing with you all again in the future.

        If it makes you feel any better, when you download the world you'll start at spawn anyway!

        I think that is because the playerdata isn't included. I am currently doing a little bit of sleuthing to investigate what files @teaearlgraycold might want to include in the world download for a slightly more complete experience.

        For example, when I discovered bluemap I managed to get it running on an offline world. So I am thinking of writing up instructions on how to do that so that with the configuration files people can also have their own bluemap instance running.

        Although I might just host bluemap myself without a server running (I know for a fact that is possible) so people can still explore without having to wrangle the offline files.

        edit: I think that data might actually have been included last time as well? Anyway, I just did the work to combine everything in a offline save file and spawned where I logged off.

            Maybe tea removed the playerdata directory for some reason. When I did download the backup and converted it I did spawn properly. Also, the fireworks was still going ;) That was nice to see.

    So I am going on vacation today so will no longer be playing on the server. I got my projects to a state that I am happy with, where nothing feels incomplete. I recommend others to take the time to explore my base before shutdown or with the world download, as I have hidden lots of secrets throughout my base.

    Unlike Bront, I do not have screenshots of the terrain before I started building, but I do have an early build screenshot. Here it is when I just finished the first phase of the build. Here it is once completed (from a different angle, and running the fog mod that I now normally play with)

    I don't really have any ongoing projects I want to finish. The pirate island would've been nice, but I think it was too big a project for me to do. Maybe I'll try again on the next server.

    I've been toying with the idea of accepting my lack of design skills and just embracing the use of premade designs and schematics. I've got the vision for big projects (like pirate island), but not the eye for the individual pieces of said vision. Or I could spend the time away brushing up on getting better in creative. Then use schematics to bring them over. Lots to think about :)

      I have two thoughts here:

      1. Don't sell yourself short, while not finished the pirate base is already awesome.
      2. Maybe it isn't your design skills, just the scope of projects. From what I have seen from some of your projects is that you try to do a lot of it at once or at least a big scoped outline. This creates the sort of scope where it never feels finished (until you eventually are) and it becomes daunting to work on. I might be projecting here, but I notice that with my own builds as well. The airfield for example is just on the edge of what I can reasonably pull off, and I think I ran into the same burnout as you did there.

      As far as the second point goes. What helps for me here is breaking builds up in smaller chunks that can stand on their own. The airfield is a bit of an exception there, since I needed to clear cut and level the entire area (thankfully gravy did help out there a ton). But, after that I was able to just do one thing at the time. First layout, then fill in the pavement, then do individual buildings. But, again, since I couldn't see the finish line it did burn me out to some degree which makes me extremely thankful that Gravy offered to help out with buildings.

      The airport is maybe the only thing I really did try to plan as much and where I fell for the trap of scoping too big for me. With other bigger builds I avoid this by working from a more general idea I have in mind and then execute on it one thing at the time.

      I think one good example here, since it resembles your pirate island somewhat, is my mad scientist research base.

      And for a complete overview I just recorded a walkthrough the entire base because I thought that would be fun ;)

      The point I am trying to make here (besides secretly showing off the build :P) is that I did most things one at the time and made sure to finish them to a reasonable degree. There is more I had wanted to do eventually, but I am okay with the state it is in as it doesn't feel unfinished. For example, I had wanted to do some more weathering on the base in general. It is very clean but eventually I had wanted to look it a bit older, inspired by DHARMA Initiative research stations from Lost. I also wanted to expand the aquarium more, make it deeper and actually expand the eyes into a real monster.

      The tl;dr of it is that, for me, it works to tackle bigger builds in bite sized chunks. And, also just go for smaller builds in between.

      Excluding what's already been described, I'd say also consider my own style (which, in this server, I've only used at my mall shops, because the rest of my builds this season were organics - sadly). My actual style, which I intend to use next season, is what I would describe as photorealism.

      In essence, what I tend to do is replicate real world structures, objects, and occurences with as much detail and "life" as possible within minecraft's constraints. This is usually done using a combination of image searches, google maps (both satellite view and street view), or even other sources.

      My most recent example of this, pre-season-2, was building various landmarks and important streets of the city centre of my home city, in 1:2 scale (survival mode!), to the degree that if you were using shaders you'd originally assume you're being shown a real-world picture before realising it's actually in minecraft. This even included the actual contents of museums, which, yes, I actually visited and noted down the floor plan and the location and look of each exhibit in very quick notes :P It did take me many months to finish that. More than a year of casual playing.

      I do enjoy this build style a lot, personally, and I also find it a lot easier than making things up from amalgamations of reference images or from your own imagination.

            Also, there's no harm in using schematics and other designs. I've found that using schematics is a way to get familiar with building and slowly build the skills needed to "freestyle".

    I've seen a couple of posts where people are lamenting the loss of their partial builds. It gave me an interesting (and possibly foolish) idea:

    I would be happy to offer my Litematica services to save builds from the current server and possibly transfer them to any new servers.

    I think this might be very dependent on the build itself. A house made of beacons and netherite might be a tall order for a new server build. Barring any outlandish requests, though, I'm happy to help out where I can. If interested, I think I would at minimum need coordinates for where the build is located prior to server shutdown so I can find it after the world file becomes available.

        Just realized I could just add myself back to the whitelist... But I'll behave and let tea does his thing.
