MC: Weekly World News

[709]

Thanks to Brad's dark magic, we now have weekly worlds in MC! Read all about it here (http://forums.applenova.com/showthread.php?p=783676#post783676).

I thought we might post world info here for those interested. :)


WWorld 22 June: I've just explored close to the spawn portal, but heading North there's a massive Tiaga, South is Dark Forest and East are some scary caves. There's a small Flower Forest somewhat SE as well.

Time to grab some ferns! :D

Let's meet up and go in naked, in Teamspeak, and practice caving in teams! See y'all there!

Thanks Brad!

I proposed in the other thread that we call this joint WeeklyWorld™. ;) :D

Edit: More update for you! There is no Nether in this joint. I tossed a portal down and went exactly nowhere. Just hung out in the wavy purpleness and twiddled my thumbs.

Edit 2: Brad, will you please post some type of "schedule" so we know what day and hour the thing will implode? That would be helpful-ish.

Where would the fun be in that if we didn't have a roulette of sorts with this place. :p

Ding ding ding! :D

I'll make sure no one is logged in when I torch the joint. Just remember not to log off while your avatar is in the Weekly World! ;)

(I plan to rotate the world roughly every Friday, but no promises. For now it's a manual process. We'll see how it pans out!)

[kscherer]

Alright, FINE! :grumble:

No soup for you! :p

[Brad]

If you haven't had a chance to check out the TARDIS, here's a quick demo: http://youtu.be/s4qZACFYusk

I'm in this world, playing like I'm in survival.

Only have 5 iron so far. Pretty gripping stuff.

I'd like to test fire spread in the current off-world if nobody minds. Mainly a dark forest thing. Curiosity, that's all.

[kscherer]

Burn it! ;)

[709]

Curiosity sated. :)

A dark forest will not burn to the ground, no matter how tightly packed the overhead foliage is. Good job, Mojang. ;)

[Brad]

I plan to refresh the Weekly World with a new seed tonight so a fresh one is ready for the holiday weekend.

The new Weekly World has been established with a portal taking you back to the main world!

[drewprops]

WHAT ABOUT ALL THAT IRON I HAD from the LAST WORLD???

Must have been 18 or 19.

Sheesh.

I kinda miss the old fire behavior, to be honest. Few things are more exciting than the mad scramble to get ahead of a raging wildfire so you can blast out a firebreak with TNT. :D

[709]

Time for a fresh one? :)

[ThunderPoit]

Anyone up for a limited level adventure in the weekly world? Like, iron only with no enchantments?

[709]

That'd be fun. Maybe adventure out to the nearest Stronghold so Drew can finally meet some silverfish. :D

[drewprops]

You need to watch Millbee's episodes from this past week's UHC Season 17.

Cripes what an amusing idiot.

Oh I hate those things.
Found two of them in my basement when I was building my new rail system.

[Brad]

Time for a fresh one? :)

I've been slacking! I'll get a fresh world started shortly!

[Brad]

New world has been created and linked to the TARDIS! :) This time you spawn in a snowy biome.

[Brad]

New temporary world! This one's spawn is in a forest with a nearby ravine and swamps.

[709]

I finished the excavation project* at the park and needed a good adventure thing to get my reflexes working again, so I threw an ender eye in the temp world and said "why not?". :)

Stronghold entry is roughly 292/883; not too far from spawn. Bonus is that it has a large mineshaft system going through it… like, through it. It's the most "you got peanut butter in my chocolate!" area I've ever seen. They are well mixed, and it's delightful. :) And super dangerous. :| Have at it if you're so inclined. Torches on the right. ;)

* Check out the hole if you're curious. I'm stepping away from it for a week or so to get some air, but it's massive. And gorgeous. If you want to get to it, go down the spider/skellie XP trap path, take a right at the gates leading to my livestock pen, and if you want to get to the bottom - trek through the pen and take the ladder down.

I think the way it is now is incredibly sexy, but it's about to get all weird up on in up er her e.

[709]

Just remember not to log off while your avatar is in the Weekly World! ;)quoted for iJak and Sasha. Those people :rolleyes:


;)

[ThunderPoit]

What'd I do?

[Brad]

Or did I goof something? Those words of warning are more for the individuals than anything else. :) I really have no idea what would happen if I nuke and recreate a world while someone's avatar is located in it but logged off! Worst case: you log in buried underground or in lava and die instantly. :p

[709]

Check out the hole if you're curious.

Please do! It's not going to stay this way for long, and it's just.. well, try it. ;)

I should probably start a Park thread. :)

edit: that octagonal thing hanging? That's the lake underneath the carousel. :D

[709]

Bump? :D

Haven't seen Brad in MC for a bit, so he must be super busy.

[Brad]

Indeed I have been! Sorry for the extended absence. I'll give the ol' world a swift kick later tonight. :)

[Brad]

New world. :) This time the spawn is in a very interesting looking mesa plateau!

[709]

I'm getting a "No safe locations found!" message. :confused:

I was able to get to it a couple of times today, but while making our traditional "fire markers" around the portal I stepped through and couldn't get back. I wonder if it's due to me having to take down some of the trees? Hopefully I didn't fuck it up… I've been looking forward to a mesa spawn.

[Brad]

Whoops! I just caught up on the messages. I'll log in and take a look later tonight. I wouldn't worry about having fucked it up. It's easy enough for me to recreate the temp world if needed! :)

[Brad]

Fixed! :)

I think the alternate world's original spawn point was up in one of the trees that was removed, and the multiverse warping command wasn't happy about teleporting people into midair. When I forced it, I actually took a very tiny bit of fall damage upon entry.

I just reset that world's spawn point to a spot at ground level near the portal. If this ever happens again, just let me know. It's a relatively easy thing to fix!

[ThunderPoit]

Hey brad, can we get a reboot on the temp world?

[709]

If by chance Brad pops in and sees the request, please give a heads-up before the reboot. I have a couple of beacons a little NNW of the portal and I'd like to grab them before everything goes poof.

Thanks. :)
