Do you want a good faction server to play on?

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 03:39:36 -0500

An open environment free to explore and discover. CivCraft brings together people in a friendly atmosphere of trustworthy people. Factions have been set up around the map making it easy to get started quick by joining one. The main city has many sign shops that can also provide you with the necessary tools to get started. Money can be made from killing mobs or completing challenges for rewards. Come on over and check it out!

http://ccserv.co.cc/

If you vote for the server you’ll get $500 In-game to start you out! There are two places to vote, just click “Vote” on the website and click the voting pages with *s before and after them.

I personally play on this server, It’s really great and the staff and members are awesome.

!Minecraft Diamond Finding Tut!

The images above correspond to what’s written as follows;

Before you ask, I’m using “width x height”

~And read it all, because it all interlinks!

Image 1 (The Minning Technique): Shows how the most efficient diamond branch mine can be created. The main shaft (red) is a 3x3 tunnel, that acts as your main access route for all the probes (branches) which are 1x2 tunnels (orange). This idea or method is called Branch Mining (My reason or having a large main tunnel is so you don’t get lost in 1x2 tunnels!)

Between each branch you leave 3 blocks. (branch, block, block, block, branch…). The reason for this is because ores always spawn in clumps (The blue blocks are showing how diamond usually spawns in clumps of 3, and how it is then hit by your branches).

When I say its the most efficient, I’m meaning you can remove 1000 blocks like this with a chance of hitting 20-50 diamonds AS OPPOSED to moving 1000 blocks in a square room, which if you are lucky would only yield about 4-20 diamonds.

Image 2 (Depths and Logic #1): The first graph shows a simplistic version to how the Minecraft world is created. Using F3 in game, you can determine your Y coordinate, which is the depth of the player.

Y=64 is ALWAYS the block ABOVE the sea (water for the sea is on block 63 or Y=63)
Y=16 (block 16) and below always has the most diamonds within (there is virtually no diamonds between Y=16-18)
Y=11 (block 11) is ALWAYS where lava begins to spawn in all open air spaces (caves and such, block 11 or Y=11 and below are always filled with lava)

Also, note the comment on image 2 about player depth relativity!

Image 3 (Depths and Logic #2): This is basically a visual game representation of what all the above regards.

(Y=16) Block 16 and below = Diamond level entered.
(Y=12,13(14)) Block 12, 13 (and 14 in main shafts) is the blocks you want to dig your branches & shafts on
(Y=11) Block 11 and below = Lava in all air spaces (ie: caves)
(Y=5) Block 5 and below = Bedrock begins depths
(Y=1) Below Block 1 = Void

SUMMARY:

Diamonds found on and below block 16.

Lava is always on block 11, so if you are on Y=12, you almost* never hit lava and can dig lines without having to hit lava and deal with it.

*random pockets of lava can still be hit however (the kind that you find randomly within the world, regardless of heights)

Dig you branches 1x2 and spaced 3 blocks apart to make them efficient (save time on digging)

Don’t get lost in your tunnels, have a main shaft that is noticeable!

Tip on branches: I dig each one 100 blocks long.

YOU CAN DO BRANCHES ON EACH SIDE OF YOUR MAIN SHAFT! :D

If I missed explaining something or you have further questions on this (or something was ill explained or even wrong!), feel free to ask/tell to me on my tumblr.

And all the above info is my own work, it is a combination of game-play knowledge and some comments I’ve read on the MC forums. All my own words.

Something i’ve personally started doing myself without using a tutorial. Strip mining is great!

Probably. Would it be Survival or Creative?

Read the post again mate.

Minecraft Survival Server.

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 14:32:52 -0500

If I set up a survival Minecraft server for you guys to play on, would you play on it? I could have it up a considerable amount of time. Like, reply, reblog or ask if you want me to set one up.

Do you have Pocket Edition?

Sat, 14 Jan 2012 14:41:00 -0500

Yeah but via my jailbroken phone. I feel like it’s pointless to pay $10 for the classic version of a game I already have, to have it on my phone. No thanks mojang.

It'sssss a very niccccce blog you have there! Would be a sssssshame if ssssssomething happen to it! BTW I'm following you! I loved your blog. Sorry for my bad english :P

a mini 3d print of a minecraft castle! (block size 1mm^2)

I really want to build something and get it 3D printed. The coolest.

This is pretty fantastic, and the music is very good.

HEY GUYS!

GUYS GUYS.

WE HAVE OVER 200 FOLLOWERS!

You’re all awesome, and of course I plan to continue posting awesome minecraft shtuff!

Random minecraft-related question for you: You don't happen to know if the technic pack requires a new world spawn do you? Or can you install it and all the ores etc will just be generated from then on in unexplored areas?

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 17:46:23 -0500

you can install it and the ores will start generating but only in areas far away from what you’ve already explored. Ie chunks that haven’t actually been rendered yet. I would SUGGEST starting a new world if you’ve already explored a relatively large amount or else you’re going to have to travel a lot before you start finding anything like oil or new ores.

Can you get me the dimensions for the Outpost? Im going to build it but there werent really any clear dimesions on it.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL

EVEN ON THE INSIDE

qorinthian:

CLICK IT! CLICK THE PICTURES! :D

The Outpost is based upon—no, more like adapted—from Architect Tom Kundig’s Outpost. The main focus of this house is the geometry of the house, whether it is a quadruple of squares or a big mess of spiraling gRatios. The house itself is a 13x13x13 cube, with an attached garden formed of three squares congruent to the house. A gravel path divides the length of the garden; each square of the garden creates four smaller squares with a tree centered in the middle each. The balcony is also built within golden constraints. Having a length of 8, the balcony forms a gRectangle when viewed from the side. The void beside the balcony, having various lengths of 5 and 8, can be used to finish the geometry in a series of gSections, forming a gSpiral.

The golden Ratio is all derived from the Fibonacci approximation, where dividing each successive number by the previous in the sequence would more accurately approximate the golden Number (or phi). Refer to the following picture. Notice the correlation between the sizes of the squares, the measurements of the house, the Fibonacci Sequence, and the golden Spiral it forms.

The secondary focus of the house is spatial relationship between the house and the garden. The elevated nature of the cubic house introduces a hierarchy between the artificial and nature. A viewer first focus is the house, followed by the garden, as led by its downward-flowing walls. Last in the hierarchy would be the external site, serving little to no importance to the overall house. The cube is also split into several sections, one of which aligns with the garden wall height. This effectively extends a section of the cube, reaffirming the status of the garden as a support space relative to the cube.

And of course, the windows themselves were fairly tricky. The way they are now, my professors would kill me for not connecting/defining any geometry. They’re mostly decorations right now. The only real geometry has been borrowed from the original Outpost, the near-perfect cross that divides the wall into near-fourths.

The building material, staying true to the original, should be smoothstone. The interior should have warm palette—I suggest wood and … wood. Yep. Oh, and bookshelves.

Ingenious. This is actually fantastic.

OH MY GOD YOU'RE BACK?
