Let's plaaaaaay!

[Roonie-Roe]

I survived but kinda stopped playing for a really long time as I've been super busy all month. Plus I forgot to even enter the contest, so I know I definitely didn't win. Ah well. Maybe next time (if there is one). xD

I wonder if anyone ever found my underground base which was at bedrock level. I had a bunch of farms down there including a small tree farm. I also had a spot set up to put an enchanting room too but never was able to find more than one cow so didn't get too far on that, lol. The entrance to my base was pretty well hidden too (I covered it in grass and it was at the base of a jungle tree next to a little cove like area), but I did a lot of caving and strip mining, and there was a giant ravine right next to it, so I'm sure someone was bound to run into it at some point, lol.

I found a total of 3 dungeons (two of them were right next to each other actually) and an abandoned mineshaft (the spiders almost got me). I also found a couple of other people's underground bases too but I didn't touch anything or leave signs (the thought did cross my mind though, lol), just explored them a bit and then left, lol.

I think I might have found your base! It was in the jungle with grass covering a wheat farm by a little cove of water. There were stairs that went down to a ravine and also a room with some chests, a bed, and a furnace. I left a sign that said "hi there." It was fairly late in the month when I found it, though. Not sure if that's the one you are talking about- I don't think I remember a tree farm or the room being anywhere close to bedrock level, but I didn't bother to explore the ravine, just the staircase (it was two wide cobble stairs I believe). I think I found it through another cave on the edge of the jungle near the water.

As far as other bases, I found a few stair cases down here and there, and then I believe it was Stonefly's house (it had acacia wood, out in the swamp, and I know that there was no savannah biome in the map so it must have been put in with creative).

My base was in the mountains near the jungle. There was a lone, giant oak tree that was near the edge of the mountain. About four blocks away from the tree on the east side there was a poppy flower- if you dug out the three grass blocks in front of it to the base of the tree, you uncovered a staircase. It was two levels- first level had a bunch of furnaces, a bed, a crafting table, a juke box, and a chest full of records. The lower level had my farms- a chicken farm, a cow farm, and a small garden where I managed to get every crop- that'd be wheat, potatoes, carrots, melons, pumpkins, and also netherwart. I had my sugarcane farm outside down by the water at the base of the mountain by the tree. Most of the time I tried to make it look natural, with only three sugarcane growing and not all side by side, but sometimes if I needed a lot, I had a whole row. Also in the lower level were all my storage chests, and what was an enchanting room that was later moved to my skelly grinder and became a second storage room (although an extra enchanting table and anvil were left in the room in case I needed to do small enchants or combining tools/books). There was a trap door that opened to a ladder that went all the way to level y12, that had my nether portal, branch mine, and lots of connections to caves.

My skelly grinder was also in the mountains. On the opposite side- the east side of the mountain- there was a space near the edge where there were no trees and some short hills. There was a single poppy flower next to one of these hills, where, just like with the tree, if you dug the three grass blocks on the north side of it, there was a stair case that went down to a ladder, which went down to about y12 or so, where I found a skelly dungeon and turned it into an XP grinder. My enchanting room was kept there so I could easily grind- which is probably what I spent most of my time doing besides caving and exploring the map, so I ended up with an excess amount of arrows and bones. I noticed that the skeletons, after killing I think over 5000 of them, never ever had any special drops- no bows or armor, just arrows and bones. Not sure if that's a thing with spawners or something. Regardless, it did help me get a really nice diamond sword (I believe it was sharpness IV, unbreaking III, looting III) and a nice bow I named "Brannskada" after the flame bow upgrade you can get on the Playmindcrack server's game Camelot (it was flame I, power V, punch I... I think. Also I believe it had unbreaking III). However I got very very unlucky with sword and armor enchants most of the time... in the chests at the skelly grinders, there was one chest with probably 8+ failed diamond swords that had 30 levels on each, ending up with lots of smite and fire aspect but nothing else. Lots of failed diamond armor pieces, most ending up with fire protection and nothing else. Took me forever to get my final set- all diamond, the helmet had fire protection III, respiration III, and unbreaking III, the chest had projectile protection IV, unbreaking III, the pants I believe had protection IV, unbreaking III, and the boots had feather falling IV, protection IV, unbreaking III. The boots were the hardest- I had to enchant a lot of books to get feather falling finally.

Oh! And my tools- my good pick axe was called "Ruffian" and was efficiency V, unbreaking III, then my good shovel was called "Zenyatta" and was the same, and I had another diamond pick without a name that was efficiency III, fortune II. Never made a nice axe. Normally I like to make an axe called "Treepamir's Choppa", based off of Etho's "Treetho's Choppa", with sharpness V, unbreaking III, efficiency V, but I just never got around to getting enough books and levels for it.

nope that was my base

Hehe, yeah, wasn't mine then. Mine was pretty similar though but the staircase was only 1 block wide and everything was downstairs at the very bottom in one large room, including my wheat farm. I made it just big enough I could grow trees in it (And I'm surprised I didn't hit any lava pools while I mined it out). And I almost forgot, there were also a ton of mushrooms all over the floor too, lol. Mushroom soup was my main food source until I got a potato off a zombie, so I put some down to grow and then sort of just let them go wild after I no longer needed them. xD

I think one of the bases I found was yours Antly, lol. And if I remember correctly it wasn't too far from mine either. Maybe like 100 blocks or so. I'm surprised we didn't run into each other at some point.

Okay, I got some screenshots of my lavender town <3
Based off of this 3D Lavender Town Since it was the only one I felt I could really make :3






(( 4 more rooms of that ))

That's it ovo

[philocalist]

speaking of the hardcore server,
I surived but I dont think I count because I didnt make a house.
I only started halfway through
I'd mined at a friends mine so I had full iron and a dias sword c:
My invent was pretty full though and yeah I didnt see many houses.
I saw a wip one up a jungle tree and a empty house with flowers xD

it was pretty fun and I hope you do another

On my worlds I never make a house untill I find diamonds, guess its my fault I always die.
BTw is there a server alot of people from here go on. I kinda wanna meet you guys.

Oh sweet I didn't even know this thread existed until now I've been playing Minecraft for a while now and i've just started a YouTube channel of me playing it.

All this talk of pokemon has made me download the newest pixelmon update. I found a awesome pixelmon server, it has 3 regions and it's awesome. If anyone wants to play the pixelmon server with me, Pm me <3 x

[Sezzas]

I play a lot of Pixelmon right now. ~ c:
I've been some on kanto.pixelmoncraft.com and play.pixelbuilt.org, but I recently tried to be on mc.elitepixelmon.net instead x3
It's just so hard to stay on only one, everyone are awesome in their own way xD

@Four Seven Niner
Awesome! *~*

@Painten Pawz
What server are you on? c: I might check it out~

@Everyone
We should totally try to gather most of the people on here to play something together sometime.

What does everyone think of the latest snapshot? There's bunnies! Tameable bunnies that also can be killed for meat, rabbit feet, and rabbit hides. Another update is that sheep can now drop mutton when killed, and also with the rabbit's foot you can put them into potions for jump potions.

Personally, awesome! A new mob is always nice, plus they are tameable so you can have cute bunny pets!

I think I'm more excited about sheep (finally) dropping mutton more than anything else, lol.

Bunnies are always a plus though (I hear they make a great stew *shot*)... Unless of course they're white with red eyes, live in a cave, and have a "vicious streak a mile wide"... Fortunately those ones are rare though.
*wonders if there will be a Holy Hand Grenade like item in the next update* Oh lord... xD

[EmberWolf]

LOL that'd be the best. If there isn't already a mod with something like that we need someone to make a mod with that something like that specifically for bunnies.

I am also very happy with mutton- my long bad luck streak in UHCs where the only animal I can find is sheep will no longer be a problem! Take that, mushroom stew, I won't need to resort to you anymore!

Speaking of bad luck in UHCs, today me and a couple of friends got into a UHC mood (because of the new season, of course) and decided to have a really quick UHC with just the three of us- 500x500 map, in snapshot 25b, with a randomly generated map we didn't bother to check first because we wanted it to be quick....

Ended up being a mostly water map with just a horseshoe-shape of taiga biome, and only ONE oak tree within the world border, so we all spread near each other. Barely any animals- I finally found some cows and chickens but unfortunately, I was not the only one, ran into my friend, so I left quickly and resorted to boating out into the water in search of other land. Found a water temple instead, got 5 minutes of mining fatigue 3 just from boating NEAR it, I didn't even go in, then finally found a tiny bit of land mostly cut off by the world boarder, waited for the mining fatigue to wear off, then dug down in search of a cave...

I found a ravine.... that I fell into. I died by falling, and literally landed on diamonds.



My stone tools I still had, all over the ground, on diamonds.... there was gold right by that, too. Of course, since it was a small UHC of only three people, we were all in a skype call together talking through the whole thing, so with the really convenient spectator mode, I watched the other two and gave small hints... until they made me mute myself because I wanted to say a lot about the situation they were in (it was very dramatic and full of plot twists, for a UHC) but couldn't without giving a lot away.

Also, one of my friends went to the nether... and the fortress was literally like 5 or so blocks outside of the world border. He died to a creeper later. Overall, pretty sucky UHC for all of us, but we had fun! Got that UHC mood out of our systems at least.
