Found another mystery base at (-750, -200). Whose is this?



Whomever it is, they built a a 3x3 by four hundred seventy six diamond mine, color coded it with a complicated system of colored carpets, lit it up with hundreds of torches...



...and then apparently never mined any of the tunnels.


Also, whoever you are, are you still playing? Your base is psuedo-kind-of-almost close to a road I'm building. Do you want a road hookup?

The stuff you guys are making on the minecraft server is amazing. I'll be around this weekend to check some of these out.

LB would you have any interest in collecting the pictures you've taken so far into a few albums on imgur that I could link from the OP along with coordinates?

All the images I've posted in this thread are now here:

Checking over the past few threads pages, it looks like I've usually posted coordinates for the things I post images of. Is there anything in particular you want screenshots/coordinates for? What exactly did you have in mind? World tour? Are we advertising how awesome we are to bring in new players? Or did you simply want to make a directory to help people find things? I can think of a couple locations that I know where they are, but haven't mentioned or posted about, and that might not be common knowledge. The "mystery base" at (-750, -200) turned out to belong to Sandpuncher, but there are other places like that I've found that I haven't posted about.

For example, De Leonon's tower:



I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to go see that, and I've never seen him in-game in the entire time I've been here so I assume he stopped playing. But if we're building a locations directory it should include everybody, and he does have a horse jump-test track and a stable, both of which are noteworthy.

Or, like Hugo's Airship Docking Yard at (-550, 365) and only accessible from the main nether corridor at (Nether: -70, 60)



That's a work in progress from an active player, it's pretty cool and it's totally World Tour material. But nobody's posted screenshots or coordinates until now.

But then on the other hand we have places like the Blaze Farm / Enchanting / Repair facility at (Nether: 170, -60) which everyone knows about, but that nobody's posted screenshots of:



Everyone knows about that, it was the first thing anyone showed me when I joined, it absolutely would need to go into a directory, but there's no point visiting "to see it" since again, everyone already know about it.

Related, we have the End Portal room at (-400, 530) and more easily accessed from the main Nether corridor at (Nether: -60, 60):



Ski Lodge? Fishing Platform? Pig Church? Castle Map Wall? There's a lot of notable stuff that nobody's shown screenshots of. And some useful things that are thoroughly out of the way and borderline hidden. For comparison, at (-1000, 1000) here's my base, at night...from ~100 blocks away:



Pretty easy to find. Whereas the Overworld-side main entrance to the End Portal is this poorly-labeled little hole in the ground hidden behind a carrot farm at (-325, 460):



That's an important thing that needs to go in a directory. But it's not something I'd go out of my way to go take a look at.

What sort of things are you looking for?

[forsaken1111]

I was thinking of something like a showcase and orientation guide for new players, yes. Are you interested in making something like that for us?

...maybe, but I think I'd rather encourage others to participate in a project like that. It's been quiet lately. You making a personal appearance would probably be healthy for the server.

[WillowLuman]

In hopes of livening things up a bit, I invite people to come build airships at the docks. Mind you, they can't be so large as to prevent other ships from fitting onto the docking piers. A well-placed balloon or two could save space.

[Elephant Parade]

Sorry for the lack of list maintenance! I'll be reading through the topic to find all the coordinates that people have posted. I should be done by tomorrow; if you're still not on the list, just PM me.

Edit: Okay, so either I'm blind or almost no-one posted coordinates. If you could repost coordinates (along with Minecraft username, preferably), that would be great.

[aristabulus]

...Okay, so either I'm blind or almost no-one posted coordinates. ...

I have a tidy pile of coords written down, but didn't bother posting them here because it was clear that we lost you pretty fast to Civcraft.

[LordBucket]

almost no-one posted coordinates.

I set up a base at x: 67 z: 397. It has wheat, sugarcane, and carrot farms; it also has an enchantment table and a rail leading to a skeleton spawner. Not a grinder yet, but I'll work on that eventually.

To access the enchantment table, just descend the main ladder and go to the next room.

To access the rail, drop down the mineshaft.

I also set up a base.  It's around x: -300 z: 500. It has lots of wheat, sugarcane, pumpkins, chickens, cows, and sheep.  Only a few carrots, no potatoes yet.  There's a mineshaft across the plains from the crops, goes all the way down to bedrock.

Construction on my underwater base of operations has begun. When finished, it should be around coordinates -700 X 100 Z.

Diamond Kitty's Guide to the Iron Farm Facility



Important:
Placing doors near the iron farm will cause the village center to be redefined, which can possibly cause the iron golems to spawn outside the kill zone. Please place no doors within ~128 blocks of the iron farm.

Location
The "Iron Farm" is located at (Overworld: 1000, -800)

Facilities
1) Fully automatic Iron/Rose farm
2) Fully automated Raw Chicken/Feather farm
3) Fully automatic pumpkin farm
4) Smoothstone generator
5) Fishing pond
6) Brewing station
7) Bed/crafting table/furnace


Iron Farm
The double chest in the center of the iron farm will automatically fill with iron bars and roses. Last checked rate was ~30 iron per hour.

Important note one:
The way the door is designed, skeletons standing at the gate have line of sight to fire on the collection chest. Don't afk there. Go around the corner near the beds or the brewing stand or against a wall. Or stand in front of the chest and place a couple sand blocks to bury yourself in. This will probably be fixed at some point.

Important note two:
Occasionally two golems will fall down the shaft at the same time, causing the farm to jam. This is because I made it too big. This too, will probably be fixed at some point. In the meantime, in the event of a jam simply use the ladder in back to get to the roof, and use a fishing rod to pull one of the golems away from the center. I realize this is a problem for an afk farm intended for overnight use, but it happens only rarely, and I've successfully camped the farm overnight multiple times without difficulty. But it does happen sometimes. To check to see if it is jammed, from the collection chest, walk around to the left then look through the glass up through the water stream. If you see golems bouncing up and down, it's stuck. Go fish them out. Unloading the chunk will not unjam it.

Chicken/Feather farm
The double chest to the left if the iron farm chests will automatically fill with raw chicken and feathers. I considered installing a toggle to allow for auto-cooking as well, but raw chicken is used for villager trading, and neither food nor blaze rods are in short supply. So cook the chicken if you want it cooked.

Incinerator
The single chest to the left of the chicken farm with the glass floor over lava is an incinerator. Anything placed in this chest will be instantly taken from the chest and dumped into the lava. Please deposit surplus feathers and roses in this chest. If the iron/chicken farm chests fill with these, the hoppers will back up and eventually they will no longer generate iron and chicken. at present rates it would take several days of afking for that to happen, but please be aware of it.

Pumpkin farm
The chest to the right of the iron farm will automatically fill with pumpkins over time. Rate is low, but I routinely show up to find a stack or three of pumpkins, as not many people seem to be using them.

Smoothstone generator
Similar to a cobblestone generator, but this generates smoothstone rather than cobble. Smoothstone is faster to mine. Consequently even with an unenchanted stone pick, this will generate cobblestone faster as (depending on your lag) every second or third block you'll mine the second bloc before the first regenerates. Additionally, I've built it five blocks deep rather than two like the generator at the npc village. So if you use a diamond/efficiency pick, this will allow you to create cobblestone at more than double the rate as the generator in the npc village. Finally, by using a silk touch pick, this generator also allows you to quickly acquire large quantities of smoothstone without needing to cook it. Testing with an efficiency 3 silk touch diamond pickaxe, I was getting approximately 100 smoothstone per minute.

Fishing pond
To the left of the smoothstone generator is a small pond. Fish to your heart's content while the automatic farms do their work.

Brewing station
Between the chicken farm and smoothstone generator lies the brewing station. Refill bottles in the fishing pond.

Bed/crafting table furnace
Because why not. I'd have put an enchanting room in too, but ran out of space. Might add a lower level. Will probably add an ender chest at some point too.

[Elephant Parade]

Added coordinates. I somehow failed to notice them. Thanks!

[LordBucket]

I'll be around this weekend to check some of these out.

Care to post the results of your walkabout?

[LordBucket]

So is the minecraft server dead and I should stop playing or what?
