Paul Smith Posted February 15, 2017 I redesigned the entrances to the tree top walk but can't edit inside the spawn zone. Could someone with appropriate permission please take away the wood pillar: With my main project complete (for now) I decided to explore. I wanted to be the first to circumnavigate the continent. But I found signs of pevious explorers: Outside an NPC village at -1442/62/323: an abandoned boat! On a distant shore at -1542/62/426, a lone crafting bench. @evilskillit, it would be cool if when you have time you check out http://overviewer.org/ and generate a Google map of the world!Example map Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilskillit Posted February 15, 2017 @Paul Smith Ok I removed your wood pillar as requested. As for the Overviewer thing. I made a copy of our map then ran Overviewer against it and it generated a folder with a bunch of stuff in it that is 1.4GB. So I'm wondering what do you do next? Well you need a web page to host that stuff from. I don't really do any web page hosting. If anyone here is interested in hosting this content I could either zip the output files and put send them to someone, or I could just send someone a copy of the world and they could use Overviewer to render themselves a map of it. I took some pictures of the output and attached them here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twig Posted February 15, 2017 Wow you guys work fast. If I didn't currently have several different time consuming obsessions, I'd try playing again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neonrev Posted February 15, 2017 @Paul Smith Ah, you found some remains of my great carrot hunting expedition. There's even a little story to those things. I couldn't get back to my first boat from the other side of the village at night because of the mobs, and that crafting table was hurriedly placed to make a boat as I fled some skeletons. That was a profitable village, for what it's worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cordeos Posted February 15, 2017 I am working on building a rail tunnel to a nearby village, should be able to make progress, and possibly finish it tonight. Someone should get some pigs corralled now that we have carrots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On my own expedition I brought back three spruce saplings from a distant mega taiga biome for the tree top walk. There's amazing creativity that comes out of, well, Creative mode but I prefer Survival mode for the stories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilskillit Posted February 16, 2017 @KoraxI've added you to the whitelist. Hop on and mine some crafts!@Cordeos should be able to add people to the server whitelist now as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No problem, I bring my laptop to work so I can add people while there @Wooben I don't have access to the fancy mapping tool, i flew around a bit and took some screenshots. Hope this sates your thirst until Evilskillit can map it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evilskillit Posted February 18, 2017 @Wooben **EDIT** Ok, so things happen when I get ideas. I found some random free web host and uploaded the output of overviewer to it. The files are still uploading but currently it works. I have no idea how much bandwidth this uses, so I have no idea how long this will stay up for free. Maybe it'll work forever, or maybe you all will get it shut down immediately. In the mean time here, go play with it!IdleMC Google Maps Type Web Page Thingie! https://idlemc-overview.000webhostapp.com Ok here are a bunch of fun pictures from the google maps rendering thingie. I did a bit more research on how to use it and managed to get a render that shows everything everyone has built and was only 300mb. I'm not a web server guy, but maybe I'll see if I can figure out a way to stand this up somewhere so people can play with it, because it's darn cool. Anyways, pictures.

Twig Posted February 19, 2017 I have to say it's really nice to to jump into Minecraft without even thinking about mods. Every time I've tried playing again since I "quit" I've always done so with the end goal of installing a number of the coolest mods. But that requires going back several versions, etc. It's a fun game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have no idea how one sets up a modded server, but at some point in the future if enough people are interested we can try to figure it out. Current vanilla seems pretty decent. Everyone sure is building a lot of cool stuff there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
