<snort> Pot, meet Kettle.

 

I was FRAMED!  

 

I think we ALL know by who.

 

I'm ashamed to see such an evil display...though I think I have one like it in my own living room at the desert.

[Alexiel]

Okay, not a screenshot but thought I'd share. Thought it was pretty interesting either way.

(Close enough, yeah? After all, it's someone's screenshot.)

Love it!

[Alexiel]

Just in case this isn't around much longer... wanted at least SOME proof of my 6~9 hours of labor.
Personally I find the view breathtaking.

Tried to be respectful of everyone else's works while at the same time allowing anyone who visits the opportunity to appreciate said works from a different angle that only flying Server Gods generally get to see.

 

So without further ado... "The Sky Bridge: A Work In Progress ~or~ A Mistake Soon To Be Forgotten" (aka "Snake Way")

Great views!  @DawnKnight  I was considering doing the same with a glass sky highway.

It probably would have been best not created over such a populated area though (especially not while made of cobblestone); the views FROM it look awesome, but I can't say it's a pretty thing to look at from the ground.

I've been a little lax in posting screenies (I enjoy the hell out of them, but meh have been lazy) and will take more interesting ones later, but here's a couple from over the past week or so...

 

The little enchanting area I set up at my place in the desert:

 

 

Sunrise as viewed from "the edge of the world" (this was an odd and interesting treat to experience):

I love the enchanting area!  Especially in that resource pack.

Oooo ahhhhh so pretty
Think my next quest is to find the end of the world. Wonder how many IG/IRL days it'll take to walk there. lol

 

 

 

such a populated area

You mean the outskirts of an area in which I'm usually the only one of us 4-5 active players that spend most of our time there? 

From my understanding everyone has long since moved away. 

 

Would have made it entirely out of glass but... could not find sand to save my life. Let alone "enough" of it. lol

It's nowhere near finished anyways.

Have several ideas to thoroughly improve the bridge itself but mainly wanted to get it to the area where I'm building my sky house.

Though in the meantime I'm waiting to hear officially either way if it's allowed to stay or not.

If so: woohoo.

If not: completely understandable.

The journey was nice and the screenshots were worth it.

I think everyone is important & just because right now there's only 4 people on doesn't mean it's going to repopulate later.  Also not to be a butt, but It's the spawn area not "no one lives there" area. Everyone visits back there occasionally and if new people join that's the place they will start. ( as you know already) 

 

That being said if you need help with glass we can totally help you with obtaining it or go on adventures together. We are a community as a lovely crazy whole.

[Alexiel]

I guess it was wishful thinking, but I had hoped eventually others would take the opportunity to build a branch on the sky bridge to their own house/castle/whatever in the sky. 

Have a floating city: old Codexia on the ground and New New Codexia in the clouds. lol

It was never intended to be mine exclusively. 

But the more feedback I hear the more I realize it was a stupid idea and poorly executed anyways.

 

Guess I'll start making tnt when I get back to town.

Exactly, Chappy, it's definitely the prime "common area" of the server considering that everyone starts there AND that most everyone also has a home there (since it is the starting point for all). 

 

@DawnKnight I can drop some sand off for you the next time I am in that area...but having said as much, I do not think that it would be nearly enough for you to redo the bridge (that would be talking like dozens of double chests filled to the brim with nothing but stacks of sand...and I cannot carry that!).

When it comes to something that you'd thought of as perhaps being a "community-wide" thing, perhaps it's best to talk about it and see if anyone is interested in participating prior to going to all the work of building? I'm just thinking out loud here, but stuff like that usually saves a ton of work if it's not something that anyone else would be interested in pitching in to connect to.

 

Also!   Please definitely DO keep in mind that the Neocodex Minecraft PC server world is ginormous, as in millions of blocks wide...

 

Most folks have homes/creations at spawn but ALSO home locations that they have found while out discovering other areas of the world...far-flung biomes of all types with no other user even around. It's quite fun to set up shop in various places...and it makes for great areas to go wild and create whatever one wishes.

I'm sure if other want they will make one. Kord has a tower/sky house as well with a water elevator. :3
It's not stupid, it's just not an idea everyone would do. I for one am quite terrified of falling off so I'd personally never go on one unless its a one way thing.

I'd be happy to travel and give you some sand if you'd like though, I dont have that many. We'd all help so don't sweat it :3

If you find a place to move we can always portal it~ Saves time and food ^^

 

@Kord - I agree and we can both try dropping off goods if you need some~

Oh @DawnKnight is gonna get stuck with more Pumpkin Pies than he wants, too, mainly because I enjoy the hell out of making them.  The fact that they are a pretty quick food source that is useful is pretty nice too.

A few screenies from some recent builds that I have done (or been a part of).

The 'Labyrinth' that myself and @Ivysaur have set up as part of an upcoming contest. Stay Tuned!

 

And my new overworld Gold farm utilising the new 23x23 portal sizes

Awesome screenies, and I CAN'T WAIT to see what's up with that labyrinth!!!

I feckin' LOVE Stargate xD

 

Thanks guys, but I don't think you'll like me and Romy much after being through the Labyrinth lol

Before I run off to bed (the hour grows late...or early, depending upon how one wants to look at it!), I thought that I'd provide a little update re: the status of things at my main home, which happens to be in a mixed-biome area that I thought I'd temporarily occupy while harvesting sand; boy was I wrong, it's grown on me and is my main home now:

 

Spoiler

So, I have my own special little Woman Cave in the desert home!

 

 

I especially like the cozy fireplace:

 

 

Anyway, here's the outside of my house (by design, it's rather understated and carved into the hill)...and though I call it my "desert home" usually, for reasons that will become clearer in the screenies that follow this one, this house is in a rather interesting area:

 

 

I have drilled up from the home to the top of the hill, all set to access via ladder and covered by a trap door, which opens into this slight crater from previous blast mining; I plan to develop a tower portion of the home here:

 

 

Finally...walking out a bit to peer over the back edge of the hill clearly illustrates what interests me the most about this area, which is that it is actually at the junction of four distinct biomes: desert (left), savannah plateau (central), and river giving way to plains (lusher green region to the center/upper right). It's truly a diverse location!:

 

[Romy]

Yup. I honestly think you'll hate us. 

 

Oh well! We'll get a few good laughs at your expense though!

[Alexiel]

Wow, that's like the perfect place for a home. Looks lovely. I'd never leave if that was mine.

I'm up to about anything, hell you've made me not even hate fighting mobs, so even if I get my ass kicked...it's a learning experience. Strat can tell you about my demise at the hands of a friggin' Baby Zombie earlier this evening though (I definitely wasn't paying much attention to what I hsould have been doing; an Enderman got me before that).

Thank you so much, I really like it! Seriously, always keep your eyes open when you are traveling lost: I literally carved out a 5x5 hole in the wall here just to "camp out overnight", and obviously I got attached lol.

What's gonna be most interesting is watching you guys fight, not mobs, but each other. The monsters that spawn are easy to take down because their movements are predictable. As long as you don't let yourself get cornered or overwhelmed, you'll survive.

But imagine fighting another player. Players are unpredictable.
(Plus, there are a few people with PvP experience that have played on the server....)

PvP will likely do me in bigtime; I've never played as such in Minecraft, but hey...I'm open to anything!

 

I'll be interested to know the closer it comes to things whether we'll be responsible for supplying all of our own weapons and so forth.

Nope. I think that everyone will be using the same armor and sword (to keep an even playing field).

Bear in mind that nothing is set in stone however.

Yep I know the whole Minecraft front here at Neocodex is in very very very developmental phases; I was just curious as to whether there was a known answer yet, but all good.
