8 Hours of Micro Mayhem

The Dwarf Fortress non-stop stream continues today! We streamed for 6 hours yesterday and I want to break that record today.

The bridge is down, the food is short, and the drink doesn't exist. Looks like its going to be even more fun than yesterday, so come by my twitch channel and check it out.

I'm going to rock the Dwarf Fortress and the 8-Bit music all day long. 8+ hours of non-stop micro and mayhem.

We are working with over 170 Dwarfs and 8 military squads. I have to tackle to food situation first, and some design flaws are starting to manifest with more dwarfs.

It's gonna be a challenge, but so what?

You can watch on 8-Bit City via this plugin. Probably better to go to twitch though!

Final Fantasy's Coneria Town Recreated in 3D

Coneria is the very first town in Final Fantasy. It's a peaceful place, known as "the dream city." Using Minecraft I've recreated the entire place, perfectly to scale. This is what the Warriors of Light would have seen at the start of their epic journey, and now you can experience it in three dimensions.

Hopefully I can get a video walkthrough of the town up soon, but until then you are welcome to log in to my Minecraft server and check it out for yourself (play.mcpaladins.com). You'll have to message me (Robot) and I might not be online, but I can be pretty flexible if you're a fan of Final Fantasy and want to experience the town in first person tonight.

Tomorrow, I'll set up a warp point on the server so anyone will be able to "/warp corneria" without my assistance.

I've used a 3:1 scale for the town, which works excellently. Every tile in the NES map has been translated into a 3x3 cube. This was a blast to create; I hope you enjoy!

Minecraft Pumpkin Palace

What do you do with an automatic cactus farm and a 1000+ pumpkin patch? Build a palace.

Minecraft Cactus Farm

My current automatic cactus farm. Now to build a castle out of pumpkins and cacti and fill it with Endermen.

Small RPG Minecraft Server PALADINS, McMMO, Jobs, Epic Bosses, Dungeons, Adventures, and Quests.

Come play minecraft on the Paladin's server! Our goal is basically to make the best fantasy/scifi Minecraft mmo-style server. It's been an adventure so far dealing with the ups and downs of server maintenance, but really its been a blast so far. We've been online for 7 months and had only a few thousand players, so generally its a smaller environment than some of the huge servers.

If you want to come play you can log in at 75.65.252.229:9000. It's free to play and we can host up to 20 people at a time. We run McMMO at 20x exp, Jobs, and about every plugin we can to make it a fully-functional rpg world. Recently we added Large Biomes as well, Superflat, as well as a pvp+griefing world called "WAR." The other worlds, however, don't allow griefing and only friendly pvp (duels) are allowed. Stealing outside of war is against the rules, but other that than you'll have free reign to level up and gain perks.

You can build, farm, etc etc. You'll find you have few restrictions and lots of perks. You can buy summon eggs in town for cheap, for example. Our goal is to let everyone have access to some of the hidden "developer" features of Minecraft while still balancing the features with the economy plugin.

Eventually you will even earn the /fly command, when you become a full PALADIN. We don't accept money or any sort of pay-to-win perks or anything like that. Everyone can earn the ability to fly, as well as control the weather and time of day.

Horses Coming to Minecraft 1.6

Minecraft developer Jeb announced today that horses and horse armor will be available in Minecraft 1.6. You will also be able to tie them to fence posts. It'll be a sad day for the piggies, but I'm sure players will love the change. Can't wait!

Look at the pig. He so jelly.

Minecraft PALADINS

The new Minecraft server is up and running. It's an RPG world, so we run McMMO, jobs, gods, Magic Spells, and tons of other plugins to make the game as awesome as possible. You can check out the official page, here:

http://mcpaladins.blogspot.com/

the page is straightforward, but Vellusian (server owner) has uploaded a cool video of him running around showing off a few sites in the world. It's a multiverse, with a PvP realm, Adventure/survival realm, generated City World realm, Superflat, creative world, money, and soon to have a large bimoes survival world.

You might currently play an McMMO server, and the thought of restarting may seem like a drag. Well, we knew that would happen so we run a modified exp system for it. You'll gain levels at 10-20x the exp you would on your old server. With some dedication, maxing a MC character on PALADINS is actually an accomplish-able goal, unlike the 10,000 hour grind you'll find on other servers.

There are also shops in spawn from which you can buy Spawn Eggs for very cheap. Want to summon skeletons, Townspeople, or Ender Men? Go for it. These stores are built by admins into some of the many, many NPC villages which have been found, and improved by the admins.

The rules are simple as well, don't harass others, grief, destroy needlessly, or steal. Try to keep the place looking nice. Treat generated structures like public property. No spawning Wither Bosses yet, however we will build a Wither arena if someone wants to fight one.

FINALLY NOW ZOMFG TL;DR:

Upcoming Minecraft Server

I am helping to build a new, small Minecraft server. If you are an active player who would like to play on a multiverse/adventure/mcmmo/jobs leave a comment. The server is not yet public but it should be in a few days. Ill post the IP address when everything is ready.

We'll be running 10x and 20x McMMO experience, which is a great balance and very fun without the insane time-sink of default Mcmmo.

Also a Gods plugin, which is very cool. The best Jobs plugin I've seen with the option to choose 4 jobs. It's gonna be insane.
