This is my first attempt at a decent skull island... it's not great but the patch will likely result in a regen so i took a screenshot.
Sleepy i believe added the flames.

... I may have done some small amount of decorating, discretely, somewhere around the castle... ;)


That's neat! took me a couple of goes to get the link to work though. Slow server i guess.

I think Skull Island looks fine :D

About the patch... it's supposed to hit October 31st. Knowing Notch and his insane schedule lately, it might be after that. Considering this, we have at least two full weeks left before it drops. We might re-gen, we might not; it's mainly going to depend on what changes have been made to the game.

If MP changes massively and it becomes a proper survival mode with damage and working mobs and such, we'll probably re-gen so we can get some communal effort going in the next world (i.e. 'living' together in the same house/castle at night, working even more towards common goals, etc.) This isn't even mentioning the possibilities for PVP. I can see warring city-states easily appearing once MP is fixed :D

On the other hand, if the changes to MP are mostly superficial (some new items, some minor bug fixes) we will probably stick with the current world, provided everyone isn't bored with it yet.

I'll go for this, MP updates to proper survival mode then new map, If not, leave it alone so we can continue building what we have.

Sure.

I wanted to show off the tavern we've been working on.

I am using Doku's 32x32 RPG texture set. It can be found here:

http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=25676

As it is an HD texture pack (well, compared to the originals that are 16x16) you will need to install it with the following program for the textures to work correctly:

EDIT: By the way... a little re-texturing project I have been playing around with...

Wow that does look a lot cooler with those textures... I always worry about modding things like this though.

Myself and lacota have setup a permanent IRC channel for the server.

irc.esper.net
#sdserver

I have to ask as i'm so out fo touch with irc these days but what do you guys use for it?
I sued to use mIRC when i was a kid but it seems to suggest it wants money nowadays...

Nonsense, it doesn't break anything and Notch has stated on multiple occasions that he supports the Minecraft modding community. Don't worry :D

Those textures are easy to install. Just use the app in the second link. All you have to do then is press a button.

We use the channel for a few things, first of which is to keep everyone updated on the status of the server. Say you're playing on it and I have to take it down for a few minutes to make a world backup. If you're in the IRC channel it's easy to let you know when it's back up. A couple players (like darkshade9 and lacota) came from the official #Minecraft channel on esper.net so they tend to hang out in the channel when they're not playing.

Since we're running CraftIRC you can also do @players in the channel to see who is online. I personally use the channel (and SSH) to keep an eye on what is going on when I'm not playing, and to admin. Myself and lacota can ban griefers and such on the server right from IRC, as an example. If you need an admin in-game and none are playing, the /admins! command sends an alert to the IRC channel. So even if we're not playing we know that you need us for something.

You don't have to use mIRC. I use X-Chat. You can get a free build from http://www.silverex.org/, and there's another free build of X-Chat called P-Chat that I heard is also good.

My Zombie Rape Machine™ based on a modified version of the schematics here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=55552

I'm collecting enough gunpowder to blow a giant crater in a far off land.

The R is for Rachoes. Or Rape. Either way.

There are two different angles, thus four of them. The town area around the castle has grown considerably over the last couple days due to a spike in server popularity.

And yes, that is a lava moat around the castle :D
