Amazing lighthouse.

Where?

:D


Just need to hook up a long bit of redstone so it turns on as people reach the corner.

Oh, and replace the pumpkins with lava, which I think will make it brighter (assuming I can do it safely).

South West of the under-construction docks, South East of the partially-built railway station, North-by-NorthWest of the island which looks like a chopped-in-half christmas tree.

East of my house. There's a track to it near my track it seems.

Also, since you've used bricks does this mean the map is generating clay in new areas of map?

 

Another thing, how much blue wool?!?!

Yes - it's still relatively rare, but not nearly so much as before.
I think I needed two and a half deposits worth to get enough.


Not quite enough. There's a lot of naked blue sheep wandering around, but I still need at least five times more than what I've got so far. :P
(So if anyone has any Lapis Lazuli they don't need...)

How much do you need? I have a few lying around although I want to use some blue wool myself at some point.

Lots. Assuming an average yield of 3.5 wool per painted sheep, I could do with at least a dozen full stacks of dye.

I don't have that much. :(

 

I do have tons of Redstone but from what I've found that's pretty common anyway.

Yeah, fairly common. You do use quite a bit when building circuits and powered rails and stuff though.

To make a skin, download this image:



(it's tiny, I've stretched it there)

Then open it in an image editor and change it how you like and save it again (as .png) and then upload it here:

(login with your minecraft username/password. The bit under 'change your skin')

If you don't want to draw one yourself, you can get lots here: http://www.minecraftskins.com/

There's also a program which lets you preview the skins without launching the game, slightly awkward to get setup initially though...

And also to PB:

Kev and I have messed about with the nether gates to make travelling to/from PB's lighthouse easier. We made a nether gate at PBs, but it led to that one Jon made in the arctic. So we've disabled that one for now (hope that's ok, Jon) so that PB's one made its own gate in the nether.

We're currently linking those two gates in the nether up. So, in short, you can get from any of the original cluster of nether gates to PB's lighthouse very fast. And you can travel from PB's lighthouse to the original nether gate (one in my old house) very fast.

hope this is all ok.

(hug)

dropped all my lapis lazuli in the box above the bed in the lighthouse, about 200ish lumps

I have also found clay, it is about, and not too hard to find in new areas, but we have explored so much that finding new areas isn't easy :)

no worries from me, the 'arctic' gate was a bit of a waste anyway - only did it cos I could
