Been working on the village bridge area a bit. Added a Tennis court. Also have a Jungle Temple thing in the works.

Has the server been updated to the Pretty Scary 1.4? Night Vision is pretty boss.

[Hanz]

Not yet but it will be tonight.

This is really cool and probably crazy expensive.

[Hanz]

Well the server just got busy again....

I'll just drop this bomb on you now Hanz:

I think that with the new Redstone Update snapshot, we need to get a new server map.

[Hanz]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The redstone changes are insane... I don't know if any of you have messed around with the Tekkit mod for Minecraft ever before, but that mod contains pipes and machines to collect and pump resources around and the some of the new things in the new snapshot do just that. (though I found the hoppers to be needlessly complicated to be honest) I played around with the new stuff for a little bit on a test world and was quite easily able to create a system in which a minecart moves toward chest #1, collects all the resources in said chest until it is 100% empty, then moves toward chest #2 and empties itself automatically before returning to a stop where it waits until chest #1 is filled again. You could easily expand this so that if chest #2 is filled it goes to chest #3 instead and so on. It's sad though that the new comparator blocks that make this happen are kind of finicky. I couldn't get them to work 100% of the time yet.

The new "Quartz" block is obviously a response to a lot of fans wanting the "Marble" block from the Tekkit mod in the real game. I think it looks cool. Now all I need is the equivalent of the "Basalt" block and I'll be happy.

TNT Minecarts. Holy crap. The explosion is affected by it's speed too which is ridiculous.

And yeah Hanz, I'm serious. I'd even be willing to agree to a survival world at this point. You don't have to delete the world save at all either. But the alpha landscape around like 90% of the cool stuff is...I don't know.

Robo Corp.™ decided today to develop land near some primitives out in the middle of nowhere. This land was purchased from Lord William for the sum of 500 potions of invisibility.

However, in a rather strange turn of events the government for once DID not get their way and the contractors were forced to tear everything down mere hours after development began.

Those dump trucks and excavators I built looked totally sweet man.

So I hear we're getting horses and like... colored clay in the next update. Sweet. It'll be nice to have colored something to build with that's not wool.
