Is obsidian the purple stuff? How can you mine it?

Yes. With diamonds. :P

Hmm, to be clear, obsidian is the very very dark (almost black) purple blocks on the outside of a portal, not the translucent plasma in the middle:




You can't mine the portal plasma. :(

Same here, I was cobblestoning the fuck out of lava earlier.

that's an excellent tip, thanks
will make obsidian creation/mining much easier :)

goddam lava :(

I hate that shit.

lost another load of good stuff

Well maybe it will ne out of its system for me when I get on in a bit then. Does the stuff we lose get put back into block or is it lost forever?

lost forever :(

or I'd just dig it right up again

Kos - what was the plugin for /back after death. Found a different one but its putting me straight back in the lava which is fairly pointless.

Think its part of Essentials or General, whatever the current one is.

Essentials! Thanks. Though /back just put me back where I was but above ground. Hmm.

I think it tries to find the nearest safe block to put you on.

Right, I have setup permissions and essentials and I think I've set them up right.

 

So far from the Essentials command list you regular users have...

 

/depth - Gives you your current block depth
/getpos - Current coords
/back - back to last place and back to safe block after death (might be issues with this, tell me if there is)
/list - list of current logged in users

 

It's been a productive day at work.

 

Want anything else and I'll look into it.

I'm also toying with the idea of allowing people to warp but only me being able to set them.

 

So I can give you maybe 2 warp spots each and I'll tp to you to set/change it.

 

Though this will obviously only work when I'm online and I can't see a way to enabling warp setting and having a limit. That would be the ideal situation.

Is the /home a mod or part of Minecraft?

If it's a mod, then it should be simple to clone it and create /away1 and /away2 which then frees you from being online and still limits warps.

Of course, that would also mean personal-use only, which people may or not want.

/home is a mod. I'll have a look when I get home to see if it can be replicated and if it can how easily.

I think being able to warp to others (with their permission/acceptance) would be ok, but just warping all over the place did get a bit much

Yeah it definitely won't be anything like unlimited warps like it used to be. I think being able to warp or maybe just tp to someone might make things a bit more communal because at the moment I've been building stuff quite a distance from everyone else so it'd be nice to get around a bit more, without it taking the piss.
