Minecraft Server

[Pathia]

Just a note, the server is going to go down for a few days, no data will be lost.

Alrighty. Thank you for hosting it.

It seems to be doing quite well as-is; my only troubles seem to involve my own machine, as they disappear when I reduce the visual distance.

Aha. Busy busy.

Purchased the game and started playing around with the metagame aspects a bit.

First, I'd like to share something I discovered. If you play single-player and you request a new map, you have the option of a Huge map. It lives up to its name. From spawn it faded into fog in all four directions, although one only just- it had about a dozen squares that were revealed when I went that direction, and those would've been missed save that it was all sea-level ground hidden behind a slight ridge.

Second, I started fooling around with a 384x384 map in Omen. It's pretty freaking huge when you get right down to it: I don't think anyone's bothered to come look at what I'm building on Pathia's server, but a 50x50 area is 2500 blocks. That is a tremendous amount of space when you start clearing land or digging out a room. On a 384x384 map, you can fit thirty-six 64x64 plots. And with a map depth of 128, that gives you 524,288 cubes of space. I'm not sure we even have eighteen people who log in and build things.

<-----going to try to make a zepplin once server is back up and has free time

I'm thinking that's going to require a lot of blocks. If only as scaffolding to get you up high enough and let you get around to the proper angles.

no really, yes a stairway to get up to it, but once i get started on it, assuming semi hollow insides, i can do the outside/perimiters/etc similar to how i did the cloud of death
