R13... alternate realms sounds like a cool idea. I've seen some vids out there for 'sky islands' and such, I think that'd be something neat to explore.
Achmed: Does it have to be this long? Infact thanks for the vid. Really helped me out, I am going to see I can make a shorter trap according to the same tutorial. =\
Other than that. I dont know but usually many clans run a second server to switch back and forth when updating their servers to a newer version. =\
You might want to look in to that. If you just plan to go ahead and wipe everything out regardless, than I guess I shouldnt worry about exploring the giant hole I found in the ground. =\
I just wanted to pop in and say hi I've been on the server a bit, dug out a little hovel, and started mining. I'm sure I've seen a few of you online but I don't really know anybody yet. My MC name is the same as my polycount name, so I look forward to meeting you all.
And don't worry about my building, I've picked a spot near the rail line but not within sight of anything else.
Not sure about frequency in 1.8, but they can be pretty difficult to find. I basically flew around looking and every 100 or so coordinates dig down using that transparent stone texture. Might be easier to make grass and sand also transparent so you can just fly around. But yea, I think in that map I found 6 villages before that stronghold. It's tough to see them when there are huge clusters of abandoned mines all around.
There are 3 strongholds per map actually as of 1.8, its hard as hell or impossible to find them unless you use hacks... 1.9 will have a way of tracking them now with an eye of ender. You can find tools online that with the map seed will give you the approximate coords
i created an skyworld.. its called caketown. it's live right now on the server. to get there type:
/mv tp caketown
to get back type:
/mv tp world
now this might only work for ops right now... but the idea is that we will be able to still talk to each other and you can play in the world that you want.
i will be working to let everyone teleport, its a permissions thing and i have been having a hard time understanding the formating of the permissions. i got it all down, except how to craft one that works for us... mostly testing the multi world plugin at the moment so i can see how it works before we get to the 1.9 update.
oh and open warp is working again... its supposedly supports the specific MV plugin i'm using, it says so at least when i load the server, but i cant find anything online about it. anyways, you'll be able to use the /home and /top commands again regardless.
Took a closer look at the Stronghold on the server. Yep, right under your arrows at -750, 640 I placed a ladder entrance. Did a little exploring, but it's huge, and connected with several abandoned mines, ravines, the works.
edit: found another stronghold at -170, -620. Marked with a tall beacon.
There's a 20x20 spawn zone where regular players can't mine
you have to go farther out
They need to be white listed. I am way far from the spawning point. I found the series of natural caves and settled down there with Shadownami. After the last maintenance, we cant mine there.
We requested R13 to put our names in the white list but he hasnt responded to us yet.
Jumped on another server recently, they had a 'market' with different stalls to buy and sell different items in one town (npc controlled), if something like that's not in the 'final' game I'll be disappointed.
ok, i have updated the white list... and all the permissions... i have been finally forced to learn them. i think its because of them that you didnt have ability to mine or what not. i went thru the entire whitelist and gave everyone the default permissions that they should have... please try it again.
ok, when i went to recheck the permissions they were completely blank.... sooo i set them up again... once again try again please. everyone should be whitelisted.
eventually once we work thru this i'll remove the white list and guests can come in, but obviously wont be able to do anything ... XD

oh and i reenabled endermen, but they wont pick up blocks..

Do let us know when you are going to update it.
the formula, is to stack 7 iron blocks. the top most block will need to be minimum 20 blocks above sea level.
sit back and watch it during a rain storm.
What about the creative mode for building public railways? A 2 track skywat running north/south and east west for 3km in each direction from spawn?
And don't worry about my building, I've picked a spot near the rail line but not within sight of anything else.
