I'll be nice again once I've finished my sheep.

 

If someone complains about where it is this time, you can all go die in a fire.

 

:-O~~~

The rail map itself isn't really needed. It's fun to make though, same as a little mini-site.

I'll get the train map updated.

You put the orange roof on!?

It's like you want me dumping obsidian around your shit. :P

<looks>

Still too close.

(j/k lol)

We discovered that obsidian is not the best griefing material. Wooden half-blocks are :|

Eh, why's that?

So long as you remember to treat them the same as other slabs (use the pick-axe, not the wood-axe) there's no problem removing them?

Oh really? I didn't know that (to use pickaxe).

Ok, obsidian it is then.

Bedrock back in the good old days!

Oh yeah, those blow.

Damn, I shouldn't have told you, and then used a mixture of both, so you'd think you had to keep switching tools too. :P

Just to change tack slightly - can someone tell me about the Nether and how that works - how do you get to it, is there anything there worth mining, do mobs exist there on our server and how does the nether transport work?

 

</many questions>

That gives me an idea...

...to construct portals on bits of railway just around corners

You go through a portal to get to the nether. Hopefully drew's new map will pinpoint the nether gates/portals. The nether is scary and full of lava, there's various new blocks there too. No mobs.

 

The nether transport works based on the fact the nether is smaller so if you travel across the nether it's like travelling further in the normal world (can't remember the factor, on my phone) so if you go into the nether and leave via a appropriate portal it'll send you much further across the normal map. Someone will no doubt explain this better.

You can't ride minecarts (or boats or pigs) through portals.

Which is a massive shame.

Not as much of a shame as lock gates not being possible. :(

Bedrock bed :'S

Map: Updated
PS: Is mean

there is netherwrack, and glowstone, and soulsand, and LOTS of lava, and some mushrooms

I built a huge path/road which now goes nowhere (since Xen & Kev changed /everything/)

you get there through the portals, which can be joined neatly to the real world if you know what to do - otherwise they all lead to Xen's basement

Should've built a fence 'round it :Y

don't care, cos Kev built me a track right to my house

oh, map updated? no sign of the great southwestern line
