I really wish the dragon egg had a use, because right now the dragon is just a source of EXP, which is just a quick time saver because we already have mob grinders.

The end in general kinda feels like a slap in the face. The wither (much more deserving of the term "boss" than the dragon) didn't get a dimension, and actually drops something useful... kinda makes the end look extra pointless in comparison. It's a neat story thing I guess but Minecraft isn't a story driven game at all.

If you haven't guessed I'm very in favour of respawning the dragon at a cost :p

So am I, I just wish it was more than a glorified EXP Piñata.

Hey guys remember how I said I was gonna post the Guilds of Runouw WorldPainter map ages ago? Well I forgot. But I'm remembering it now, so let's do this:

Clean WorldPainter Map
Final WorldPainter Map

Pretty self explanatory- that first one is the clean version, exactly as the map was before it was opened to the public. Untouched wilderness exclusively for your plundering. The second link is the final version, exactly as everything was before the map change. It includes everyone's builds, loot, and secrets- might be nice if you want to continue a build, or make a photo album of your work to post online.

Both links are direct downloads, and you will need to open the world in version 1.7.2 with the custom Vanilla+ modpack we had used on the map. You may want to update the mods (and perhaps the Minecraft version if they're all out for 1.7.10) but that would need to be done individually.

So I guess the more times you repair a tool, the more levels it costs.

RIP Piledriver.

It's happeninggggggggg

Guardian grinder is spawning guardians more or less frequently, it's still a little picky depending on where you stand but the small right and left wings are both done. The larger back sections (the dirt platforms) should help fix this, as well as increasing overall spawn rate.

Additionally, I've figured out an alternating lava/water fall trap that drops them to 2 or so HP. Probably going to want to bring some splash harming potions though, because their thorns will ♥♥♥♥ you up if you attempt to punch them to death like any other mob grinder. Pretty sure the toss potion, switch to Looting 3 sword exploit still works, so there's that. Anyone looking to try using it while I'm not on should know that they're an absolute ♥♥♥♥♥ to hit bouncing around, even with a splash potion, but the two levers in the killroom will lock them into place and make them much easier to hit.

Finally, I've gone through a ton of signs getting the two smaller sections finished. If anyone would like to supply several stacks of signs (or help place them, ♥♥♥♥ needing to crouch, rightclick, leftclick, repeat for every single one- my nerves are shot) I'd love you forever

[#4715]

We have roughly an entire inventory of signs. I would be happy to place them for you. About time I actually did something productive.

Alright two things.

First, sorry Bam, I may have inadvertantly killed you, depending on whether or not you logged out on that dirt platform in the guardian grinder or not. Because uh, I finished that wing, and the platform is no longer there. So you'll probably be dropped into the collection water upon relogging. Totally my fault, did not think this through at all.

Secondly, in an attempt to rectify things, I've blocked off the funnel on the guardian grinder, so it's physically impossible for you to accidentally sweep along to the same fate the guardians get, about 32 HP lava damage before falling into a pit. There's a ladder and everything, just climb up and in through the window of the observation room. The problem with this is that it also blocks the flow of guardians pretty effectively, and they're equipped with nasty lasers. Again, did not think this through.

This means the guardian grinder is temporarily offline, and hopefully if you're reading this, you'll at least be forewarned. Sorry
(If you do die I'll help remake your gear and stuff, though.)

[#4715]

Ha! Death is only a minor annoyance. Also, I don't believe I was on the dirt platform. What I am saying is that you blocked up the grinder for nothing.

[Kimonio]

Found it.
