Think I need a bigger castle :'D

For some reason I really like making homes within a cliff face. I'm going to try and make my own Rocamadour.

That would be awesome.

 

 

I wonder if I'm the only one who tries to scroll around images like that with my mouse (as if I were playing)

I often find myself trying to click or hover over things in LotRO screenshots.

Haha, I tried to do that on a YouTube video earlier :'D

You know the stories about building your house on sand Kos :C

It's not /on/ sand, It's floating /above/ the sand.

As long as it's held up by one thin column of rock, you'll be fine.

 

{{unrealistic simulations}}

not in minecraft - you can build castles in the sky, no problems at all

...really? I haven't played in too long, can't remember :(

Sand and gravel both require blocks underneath them, else they fall.

Everything else can be stuck onto a wall/floor/ceiling and they'll stay there (even if the block is then removed).

(Of course, water and lava will flow downwards, if there's no block below, but the source block stays in place.)

Actually, there's a few more exceptions - organic blocks (leaves,cactus,canes,etc) have special rules about how they can be placed, or if they'll stay in place.

Ooh, ok. I can't say I'd noticed before, I only got around to very basic building in Minecraft :-$

 

I keep restarting, I tend to think I want a particular world with plenty of hills and mountains and stuff... I should stop being picky and just get on with something.

I now want to play waste several hours this evening and start making a floating shelter, evolving into a floating base (of DOOM, with lava/water around it to stop creeps and possibly automated dispenser traps). Someone will owe me a life :C

You think you'll get that done in just "several hours"? :P

*days

:(( *watches*

We need a Teh server...

edit: or we can rent one for $25 per month or something if enough of us really want it :/

 

I wouldn't imagine that it's very bandwidth intensive... Will a dedicated server run on a single-core, old 1.5GHz laptop d'you think? If so I'd be happy to get it running on that for now. I wouldn't imagine it's bandwidth-heavy either, so my measly 3Mbps down / 1Mbps up should be fine. Right?

I don't think it's worth paying for, there are plenty of other servers out there. Just if someone has a spare machine lying around and a reasonable connection, kinda thing.

And yeah the server is java so it's quite resource heavy, particularly RAM, so not sure that machine would be up to it. But there's only one way to find out :D
