Collecting wool. If anyone has any spare, please leave it in the chest on the hill behind the mosque and past the hollow tree of doom. :)

I left a chest with some in - right in front of you*


*right in front of where you landed after I accidentally pushed you off the edge

Sorry. I just gave all mine to Kev. You can have the next collection, if you still need it by then.

Where can I get 5000 white wool from? :S Actually possibly double that. I think I should have decided to build something less white :(

maybe use snow blocks instead? that's what Jake did, they're much easier to find

Good idea, thanks. Should be able to find more of those.

And when it rains it snows on snowy areas so it regenerates. /weather storm

just the regeneration

you have to dig snow to get snowballs then use them to make blocks
which don't seem to melt at all - I think we even set fire to one to test it

I just read fire, torches, water and lava have no affect on it. Not very much like real snow then.

Snow blocks don't melt.

Ice blocks and sheets of snow will melt from any heat source, (which basically means any light source except redstone, I think).

Very beyond cool! That would look great as a webpage or forum background theme.

Next post breaks a record. I'll leave it for someone more important than I.

Fuck it - I'll take the record breaking post!

When you get bored see if you can find the secret passage way in my house.

I had it as my screensaver at Fujitsu, and it drew quite a bit of attention. There are actual physical versions of the 'wall'-style:

Where is your house? I've yet to check this out!

Who's anonymously moaning at me via the web interface about where I'm building?

 

My building is not getting in the way of anyone elses buildings. I've built far enough away from the church for even the most elaborate and large garden.

 

Sure, I could build on the other side of the map, but really - what's the point in that?

 

Or have I just misunderstood and someone has claimed the entire central region of the map and nobody is allowed to build within a 20 minute walk?

I don't want to be a dick about this (well, any more than I actually am a dick) but.. I've asked you several times not to build shit around the citadel. I realise I don't like... own the land and everyone's free to build wherever they like. But I chose that island/peninsula - way away from spawn - to give me room to build out into. And, as I say, it's not like there's not plenty of open space to go and build in.

It's not like there's any rules or anything but if someone's started building in what is clearly a quite distinct and remote area then it probably means they either want it remote or have plans for the surroundings. It's just about courtesy for me. I'd at least ask if I wanted to build something in an obviously 'claimed' area.

Can you please just choose a spot on the map as your own and build there? There's no lack of open space. Or if you want your stuff to be in a kinda theme park area where it would actually fit in and where everyone's building next to each other then choose one of the areas where it's like that, where that's the point.

I chose an area that seemed to be near where everyone seemed to be building - but with enough distance around me not to interfere with anyone else's stuff. I put it in the large open space between the large buildings and Jons stuff to the west.

 

I hadn't realised that you had claimed this entire area, and I hadn't realised that all the buildings around here were yours. This seemed to be the place of the most activity.
