have you heard of the iron trench. it's this vanilla iron farm which involves moving villiages really close to each other and resetting them when they combine and the creator manages to get 1300 iron per hour in an incredibly small space. i read something about it not working in craftbukkit though which is why i asked. ohwell

I believe I actually found that while looking at designs for an iron golem farm, very compact and also very complex.

Blacraft General / Re: Idea: Inactive Regions
« on: 2013 06 22, 02:25:31 »
Well, technically b-ongatar is owned by darvince.

I agree since Spawntown itself is pretty much built entirely by bla AFAIK other than some parts.

We should also consider giving long inactive (unless we know the owner is definetly returning) areas to new members because Tuto was asking about where he should settle and I told him that unless he didn't mind setting far from Spawntown, he should ask yqt about one of the abandoned/inactive areas.

Anyways, here is the link to back in december when we talked about it: http://universesandbox.com/forum/index.php/topic,2724.msg94533.html#msg94533

Notable mostly empty regions:
Novascotchara
Tierra Salvaje
Quontia
Quonbla
Bohemia
South Riverfield
Kaministiquia
Verslest
Mudkipzania
Spheron Rimlu
Jungelot
Hondurah
That region between yqt and kipz which has no name (though technically Kipz has built in that area)

Someone did develop a plugin to get quartz into previously explored areas, so, someone might be able to find a way to reset the plains so that the horses can spawn.

Alternatively, we can crop out portions of plains that are explored but undeveloped.

Also, we have no idea if the terrain generation would change for all unexplored areas since they made small tweaks to the desert generation. Or it may just be isolated to deserts without affecting anything else.

Yqt, have you tried going beyond where it was cropped? When i did that, I noticed a huge increase in the number of mobs. However, I can't rule out greater surface area for the mobs to spawn and path to me and that was only one expedition.

Hmm, I went spelunking in the areas that got cropped and I suddendly got more spawns. Can't rule out simply more surface area and that they path towards the player.

There was that attempt by me to go more than 8km away (until you swiftly applied the admin authority bat, or rather it was yqt that applied it), but I don't know if that was cropped already. Fiah may have done a bit of explorinig, but other than that, I don't think there has been.

There may have to be some cropping of already explored but unused lands to get horses to spawn though.

I think i know why.
In 1.6 or 1.5 they made it so that when you stay in one area to long it becomes hard to live in (mobs). Because that update just occurred, it reset the time so while you play more in that area the mob population will start going back up.

That's something they're trying to do in 1.6

For the traincarts one, look in the incompatibilities, it mentions that that plugin has a chunk persistence part of it.
Is the traincarts one ByteCart/the third one?

No, you said that the first one (which I assumed you meant traincarts) didn't have chunk in the description, it does, sortof and I thought the third one was the minecartmania.

The rest of the links though I simply did a search for carts/minecarts and looked if they said anything or implied chunk persistence or if I thought it MIGHT have that feature, and if they were recently updated. Traincarts and ForgePlugin really were the only hits that I got which were matches and were updated recently.
Neither of them are called Traincarts or ForgePlugin in the title. It hope you will use their titles so it will be easier to understand.

I didn't post the forgeplugin because it had to do with tekkit and was not even close to what I was looking for. However, the page for it seems to have dissapeared, so it's moot.

As for the minecartmania, sure the farming automation would be turned off. For the jumping thing, that could be fun to have (railguns, literally!) and the speed parts of it would allow the overworld rails to be used without having to build the netherrail (actually, the netherrail would still be useful, if you've seen how the area between spawntown portal and capital portal looks). We could keep most of the automation that is useful.
I think all of those things should be off, but that's just my opinion.

The jumping is off by default anyway since it requires a block that is unobtainable, and if you don't want high speed rail, fine.

I didn't see the word "chunk" mentioned anywhere in the first two links. The third one has an option for minecarts to keep chunks loaded in the configuration file it seems though, so that one seems like a good option, although it also seems like a somewhat big plugin that would need a lot of features disabled before it could be used.

For the traincarts one, look in the incompatibilities, it mentions that that plugin has a chunk persistence part of it. The rest of the links though I simply did a search for carts/minecarts and looked if they said anything or implied chunk persistence or if I thought it MIGHT have that feature, and if they were recently updated.

So you want to have Railcraft, but for a vanilla server?

No, just attempting to find something that will do the chunk persistence that rolling minecarts had.

Blacraft General / Some rollingminecart replacement possibilities (also getting quartz in)
« on: 2013 05 29, 22:12:55 »
Anyways, I looked around to see if there were any rolling minecart replacements and the only one other than the forge plugin that got a hit from searching chunk and cart was this: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/traincarts/ Not the same as FTB's traincarts though.

Some other possibilities are:

http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/msp/

http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/minecartmania-reborn/

http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/bytecart/ (I kind of like this one)

Also this: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/addquartz/  While it's not a cart related plugin, it would be nice to get quartz into the areas we have already built in (and would have saved us the headache of cropping the nether).

Blacrafts first slime farm is nearly complete, but it's functional (I still have to install the storage output). You should be able to stand below the whole thing and the slimes will spawn, they kept spawning while I was working on it, so they definetly spawn.

First pic is the view from the cargo station level, second one is down below in the mines.

I made a section of track between the wall of the Oasis City-Chromasheep station and the end of the Amazonis netherrail station to test how laggy it is and the rail lag is pretty bad.

Edit: I tried the every 40 blocks method and that is an improvement for me as far as the nether lag goes since there is something causing a lagspike around the chromasheep section of the station.

The teleport plugin thing seems like it might be too much trouble to set up a large network on a small server like ours.

Back onto the subject of stopping at a station, I don't have any problems with stopping at one. Once you know where the station is, it's easy enough to use visual cues to get ready to hit the cart with the sword to stop. Though it's still easy to miss a station if you have lag or are not sure where you are.

As far as going AFK, you can't really afk for very long in the short distances. Between Spawntown and where Fiahs station would be in the nether would be about the same distance as from the central part of rail central to either Blue Bay or Ampluterra, or maybe Novascotchara.

My station is already basically set up other than the portals, so as soon as Fiah gets his up and the connecting tunnels are made, we can test out how much of a problem lag would be or in Darv's case, missing the station because he has extreme rail lag.

The Oasis City and Chromasheep station is one big room, so unless you're having HORRIBLE lag, I don't see that area as being easy to miss.

Lol bong.

The craftbook one does, well, lots of stuff and adds tons of stuff, Bla would have to look at the link itself. I did say that I wasn't thinking of that one as being a serious suggestion.

How about this one? http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/transporter/

Basically what that one does is allow people to create portals that can be used to go between areas and can be used by players on a minecart or boat even. On second thought though, the setup for the gates seems kind of complex.

Well, as far as the slowing down, it just has to slow down enough for you to react and stop the cart.

Quote from: Bla on 2013 04 01, 15:56:10
But if you afk on the rails for a while, wanting to do something else while waiting, then it's tedious.

That works for the overworld, but not so much for the short distances involved in the nether.

If this: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/bytecart/ plugin were updated, it would work well for solving the problems. Also, if Mojang had followed through on the minecart and rail upgrades that they promised, that would have been great too :P

Investigate whether http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/craftbook/ loads chunks for carts? I'm not neccesarily considering it seriously since it has a load of other stuff and it seems kind of pointless to put that in and disable everything except the load cart chunks feature if it has one. Not to mention it would set off Bla's 'UNLEGIT!!!!' alarm, lol.

I don't have too much of a problem with stopping at a station.

Maybe we can employ something like what Yqt has with the ground rail using the buttons? Or maybe add a bit of an extra stretch of track so that the cart slows down a little?

I have problems with rail cart lag myself, but at least in the overworld, there is plenty of time as you approach the station. No idea how bad the rail cart lag would be in the nether with the added usual nether lag.

The current end will stay. My idea was to add multiple extra ends, but not where the current end island is. They would be scattered around it as additional end islands. But that's not going to happen in the near future, as it would take a lot of work to add them.

For now people are advised not to mine the endstone and obsidian pillars in the end.

Hm, question though, how will we get to them without a method of flight or making a long bridge? And would there be somehow ways to get back to those other end island areas if we wanted to?

What does it do? I don't like the sound of it. It sounds like it would take away the function of maybe the compass item or give some advantage.

I tried it and all it does is tell you what your compass direction and bearing is. It's no more of an advantage than using F3

Also, the /suicide or /kill command (as it was before I think) is useful for when you get yourself stuck somewhere that you can't get yourself killed otherwise. Such as in the cowpit of the cowfarm.

/list just shows who is online. Would be more useful on a large server than a small one like ours.

/itemdb shows the item name (as it's called in the files), item ID, uses left if applicable, and a bunch of item short names of the item currently in your hand. There's already a shortcut that shows item info and durability, so it's probably not needed, or just restrict to op only.

Yeah a public deathchest would be reasonable, but what if you die and respawn in wherever you set the home bed, but the stuff ends up in the public chest which is in Spawntown. Or am I misunderstanding it a bit?

Alternatively, instead of (or in addition to) putting a chest that says ______ Deathchest, you can set it up to spawn a chest or a sign on death.

Also useful for fighting the enderdragon. Except that any potions the person had on won't be available to others, but that can be worked out.
