I have already claimed a pair of planets, put a sign there and everything.

Ack Babel bypass! I knew the well...oh well it's something to do (and I can redo Shys Project!

Hey fifth show me how to do the copy and paste trick and I can get BB up in no time

Eugh this is gona take sooooo long! If anyone's not busy and feels like helping a guy out flattening out a 50x70 area of land I'd much appreciate it.

EDIT; Ok, nevermind, Fifth used his PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWERS! to level the island for me. Now just have to rebuild the huge ass walls and the central tower.

Fifth, is it within the grasp of the Ancient Server Magiks to transform a layer of air into cobblestone?

Actually, looking at my structures, it set me back a good bit more than I thought (some tedious tower improvement is gone, one large room and some road stuff too).

E: also I'm going to occupy spaceworld where it's right above my diamond tower, so you may want to reference coordinates beforehand.

was gonna ask about that, was it incomplete? I checked it out and it wasn't working

If there's anything better than a tower crossing all three worlds, it's another, bigger one right across from it.

Don't forget eventually prettier.

Just tossing that out there... since i haven't bee able to stay around for long, is there anybody here interested on working at the underground levels of my Crystal Tower?

Right behind Nick's Tower, there is a pathway of Trees that go underground, follow it and you will end up at the Ice Station, under the Crystal Tower. Below it there is an unfinished level.

The tower itself was supposed to be a Mine Cart Station i never got around to work on (the tower is at the very limit of Height for the map, so the station would have to be right under the Platform, surrounded by the Waterfalls.)

And the underground, was supposed to be a complex of Rooms and pretty much any thing anybody wants to do there...

That's on the old maps atm, Bells. Unless I missed Fifth puttin' them all back up?

Ya Fifth, I wasn't thinking and I went in that portal by FL spawn, and there is no exit portal. Help please?

And the new world above zeal is awesome

Sorry, I'd come help you guys out, but I'm not gonna be back on my computer for a week or so, and I can't seem to get Linux Minecraft to run.

As far as I'm aware, there is not. Fifth is giving people access to some op commands for fixing their stuff though. Like I said, I can't do it myself just now 'cause I'm lacking access to all my shit.

Excerpts from the Memoirs of Wellington C. Picklebottom III, Esq.
 

Greetings Gentle Readers,

If you are reading this, you are doubtless familiar with my writings concerning the Affair of the Amulet of Yendor which recently reached a vaunted milestone of becoming the number one tome on the New Ork Times' weekly Bestseller compilation. As a result, I feel no need to reiterate on that adventure here; those who have read it will find it old hat and those who have not will naturally not wish to have their future enjoyment spoiled.

However, in the course of transcribing the account of my quest for the Amulet I found myself genuflecting on some of the earlier ventures that helped shape my adventuring career long before I ever learned the name of Yendor. While the spoils of these exploits often amounted to little more than trifles, they were still vital stepping stones on the path to glory. Many of the tricks I learned (and mistakes I made) in my greenhorn days still serve me well. It is my hope that by recounting these adventures in print, I might serve as an example to other budding archaeologists who are still in the process of carving a name for themselves on the rock of ages.

To that end, I relate the following tale.

Before Yendor, there was another name that captivated my imagination and drove me to the point of obsession. This name was Kre'pher. The old tales described Kre'pher as a powerful black mage of a once-great desert kingdom who rode his realm's twilight years into infamy and threatened to cast the whole world into eternal darkness before being dispatched by a band of chosen heroes. To this day the desert locals curse his name and insist that some traces of his evil linger in the strange beasts that now roam far beyond the reach of the dunes of Necromunda. I dreamed of one day plunging beneath the desert sands to recover the treasures of this lost kingdom and perhaps come face to face with Kre'pher's power for myself.

Two years after my graduation from Orksford I found this dream becoming reality, thought not in the way I originally anticipated. It came to my attention that a miner from the arcadian village of Vaux-la-foret had been digging an exploratory ore shaft when he stumbled upon the remains of what appeared to be an ancient library complex. He had barely gotten beyond the first room before the undead hordes infesting the complex forced him to retreat. I quickly assembled a team and set out for the village.

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/c...7-24_00002.jpg

Once the skeletons had been cleared out, we set to work examining the library's forgotten catalog. It was a difficult endeavor; many of the codices suffered from severe water and fungal damage and threatened to crumble before the translator's eyes. However, what readable texts we did recover made repeated references to Kre'pher, a strange thing considering that this site was thousands of miles away from Necromunda. Convinced that we were on to something big, the expedition pressed deeper into the ruins.

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/c...7-24_00005.jpg

After what seemed like an eternity groping through narrow torchlit passages we came to the entrance of a great room. One of the kobold diggers, perhaps anxious for the first pick of the loot or simply eager to find some breathing room, sped through the doorway...

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/c...7-24_00006.jpg

That was the last we saw of the poor fellow. He plummeted down this pit trap into the depths of the earth. We made several attempts to recover the body, but finally had to settle for sealing the shaft and saying our last respects. Given his race's great affinity for the underground, at least it was a familiar death.

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/c...7-24_00007.jpg

In hindsight, perhaps he was one of the lucky ones.

Can I be added? Lost a lot of my floating castle foundations. And also, is it within your power to transform a predefined area of air into cobblestone? Thanks!

Thanks to Kray, we now got Karkat.

Lesson learned the Copy command Puts all Pistons facing downward... So DON'T turn on my elevator.

the what command?

If other people hadn't already beat me to the punch, I'd do the other troll sprites as well. I hadn't seen any Shrugkats around the internet though, heh.

its more of if you press the button the incorrectly pasted pistons will destroy the elevator that I worked so hard to fix

Hey Fifth. I came up with an idea for another section of the world. Maybe under Forbidden land we could make the nether. Would that not work or is it a good idea?

Could you whitelist a friend of mine? I his name is Darkdog007. Thanks!

He can see my nightmares
 

NOPE.JPG

Aaaaaand we've got a whole new level of terror beyond "Shit-Your-Pants-Creeper." Just what we all wanted I'm sure.

*Takes aim at their heads...*

Looks like aliens.

And apperentally they're called "Endermen"

And then it turns out those are the NPC villagers. =3

Probably not, though.

Or Herobrine's true form.

Yeah, if their village was IN HELL!

I honestly don't think that they look creepy at all. More curious, and very interesting.

yes what they should do is have them make NPC villages, but during the day the village has no one in it, and at night, them

I bet they are mobs that build a fort, spawn more of themselves, then form a huge angry mob and attack you.

What a terrible night to have a curse.

I'd rep you, but it won't let me.
 

http://images.pictureshunt.com/pics/..._five-2496.jpg

I wonder how dangerous they are? do they just move some blocks around or do they wish to attack you. are they nutura untill you shoot them or are they gunning for you all the time?

And can they destroy your buildings?

That would be so scary. I would have a sealed obsidian chamber for my bed.

They kind of remind me of these guys

http://sadpanda.us/images/583414-RFE1NGA.jpg

oh man I cant believe this didn't occur to me, its called a enderman

if you are like me and didn't notice it right away, just add sl to the begining

You know, looking at them closer... they almost look like they used the Squid as a base...

http://media.minecraftforum.net/cont...11/07/18_3.png

Course, for all we know right now, they just used it just so it has a texture, and may not nessessarly be indicative of the final apperance.

Or they are just squidmen.

Wheeee, I have partially rebuilt and fully automated Test Chamber #2.

Next steps: insert snarky signs, finish installing walls/ceiling/floor.

But that's a thing for tomorrow.

You said you need screenshots and such for the "explore our worlds" section?

http://sadpanda.us/images/584579-ULJC0QR.png

So... somebody built Middle Earth. Yeah. Might as well call it a day right now, because nothing anyone else ever does on this game will ever compare to this.

Oh god wtf is axion? I don't remember what its called. I wud've been stuck there if it werent for arhra. Geeze u gotta put up signs around the portals

I dont know, I kind of wanted to make Autocthon

Be careful where you look.

so yes, it is a homage/rip-off of the slender man

That'd make killing them easy. Lock them up then fill them with arrows/rush them with a sword.

Except they teleport and move blocks

Ahem: "They stay frozen as long as you keep looking at them."

Suggests otherwise.

BUT not as long as you're looking right at 'em which locks 'em into place so as long as you're looking at 'em from within arrow range you're good.

Of course they could also be well outside of arrow range off in the distance somewhere and be on your nuts as soon as you flick the focus dot over 'em.

Especially if you're walking around at night, where you could probably real easily "look" at one without having realized it.

one thing is if they are like ghasts, and glass blocks their vision, thus doesn't count as looking at. Plus what if there is more then one, and say moving your aim to one puts the other out of view.

Worst of all is that while freezing them adds to the horror, what makes them dangerous is how unlikely that is. You move your camera and catch a glimpse of them but of course your reaction is a second off, when you look back they are gone. It will be rare that you manage to notice a black figure at night quickly enough to maintain your camera on them.

[edit} though we are assuming they are hostile mobs at all

Yeah, clearly they won't won't attack you as soon as you attack them just because you are starring at them.

Have fun with that one.

Normally, they're docile. THey only turn hostile when you look directly at them.

That'd make them more akin to a Witch in Left 4 Dead.

Something tells me Notch was inspired by this fellow.

I think he was much more inspired by this fellow.

EDIT: Better example.

guys its got blank features, nearly impossible to see, elongated limbs, and is just two letters away from slenderman

AND Notch said it's inspired by slenderman.
Supposedly on Reddit, but I can't find the thread.

But go on and continue speculating. Notch might be wrong... ;)

I'll never be able to have monsters on in unmodded Minecraft ever again. I mean holy fuck they flip their shit and try to kill you the moment you look away.

The moment it's released, I'm gonna find what their spawning parameters are, light the fuck up around my place in Arcanos (Necro may be too late at that point) and keep my render distance low.

Oh wait that's a good question, do endermen respond to your staring at them if they're outside your render range?

Yeah man what the fuck is their "targeting" distance. I think double teaming them will be immensely easy. Maybe we should take on groups in pars. One standing way the fuck back and watching them while the other kills them.

I don't understand why any of you would entertain the thought, for a second, that provoking them wouldn't immediatly override the 'freeze when you stare' behavior.

This level of completly missing the point is astounding

Possibly because, so far, no further information has been released.
It seems logical that they'd go hostile when you attack, but then... it's also logical that obsidian would fragment if somebody would so much as intensely stare at it. (slight exaggeration)

As it stands right now, endermen freeze whenever they're being directly looked at. Period.
That's all we know.

Not saying you're wrong, not saying you're right.

Also Relevant: Notch's ability to completely overlook obvious details, release updates riddled with awful, awful bugs.

Prediction: Notch fucks up his code, looking straight at a single Endermen triggers ALL Endermen everywhere to respond at the same time, turning to stare at you. Moment you look away, ALL ATTACK.

Invisi-Edit: Actually shit that'd be amazingly horrifying, I want to see that now.

I really want to know if they can see through glass (if yes then holy fuck so screwed).

But yes, I too expect glitches that make them drastically more horrifying.

I wonder if they can teleport through a solid wall. Like, if you see them from a window in your house, will it appear inside, or stop outside?

Or they continue attacking after you're dead and locate you once you've respawned to continue the hunt.

I hope they attack in some unique way. One nice thing about minecraft is none of the mobs attack the same. Hope its something unique like, the dont so much attack, as they try to build a prison around you, or transport you to nether or something

Maybe he should have made them like Weeping Angles and have them displace you in time or something? Oh man I just had the greatest idea ever; Minecraft combined with the Resequence engine. Holy fuck!

We gather here again, but this time for the sad report of our latest environmental efforts.

http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/z...-31_002049.png

A wildlife preserve was set aside and secured to protect the fragile and misunderstood spycrab. Clearly a noble effort, one of our best engineers was contracted to design the place.

And then a certain SOMEONE came along . . .

http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/z...-31_003057.png

and she decided to render the entire property devoid of wildlife.

http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/z...-31_002924.png

This is why we can't have nice government-funded ecology programs.

On the plus side, spycrabs make EXCELLENT sources of heat, and burn for a good amount of time.

So, where is everyone? I know I was away for a while but I've been back on the last 2 days or so to rebuild my lost castle and the server is dead. What's going on guys?

Aether mod, among other shit.

my actual computer crashed, haven't been on ANYTHING in about a week. Worst of all I forgot none of my worlds were backed up, so now it is all gone :(

Not like I've been playing on FifthFiendCraft, but I've mostly put Minecraft away until 1.8 releases.

RL issues squashing creativity.

Dont really like creative worlds b/c challenge is gone. Waiting to see if the Terranian empire is put back up.

Bein' a lazy shitty uninvolved admin, tellin' myself i'm gonna get terra back up then not playin cause if I do I'll be yellin at myself for not gettin terra back up
