Well let's light up the area around spawn and build a small wall around what we've lit. 1 torch every 4 blocks works, might even be able to get away with less than that but I haven't tested.

Pretty sure its one every 7 you need.

Like I have said, even if you make a creeper proof house that won't allow mobs to spawn nearby due to being too well let, it won't stop the griefers who keep luring them to other peoples houses.

Now you guys finally see how hard it is to make good stuff on singleplayer

That's ridiculous though...

I counted 14 Creepers outside the walls earlier tonight (all at the same time). That probably doesn't include the invisible ones which have been me causing me mischief.

Darg · 4 Dec 2010 at 00:36

Ah 1 in 7 is better. I had 1 in 8 in my fort and they were spawning so I just threw in a second one in between every torch.

Nothing will stop griefers, will it...

You'd have to:
disable creepers (and any future monsters that may be griefable)
disable TNT
disable PvP
disable flint
disable lava (or fire/burning in general)
disable mining/protect all blocks in your building(s)
disable building things near your building(s)
protect all land below/space above your buildings...

You may as well just stop people doing anything you haven't pre-approved. Completely lock the game down for the sake of stopping one or two griefers who may/may not even exist...

Thanks to whoever has got rid of most of my flooring around my lit up tower near spawn, which includes getting rid of my obsidian farm (and all of the steps leading up to it and other places), and then leaving it on an island of land making it hard to get to. Oh, and then surrounding it with a big ugly wall of obsidian.

Thanks to whoever got rid of my building right behind the aforementioned tower, and then had the cheek to put a sign saying 'under construction, do not build here'.

Thanks to whoever smashed the glass inside the tower (it's lit up, no chance of creepers).

Had a break for a while due to things and come back to find that. Not even checked my other stuff, but I can't even be bothered now.

Good day, fine sirs.

because we've put 10's of hours in to this server and built a community ? not that hard to understand is it?

creepers are everywhere atm, you literally have to light every square inch of land just to stop them appearing - you know have to look at the buildings around spawn to see the damage they have done, dpesite being well lit in most places. I think this needs to be addressed in a patch or something, they are far too frequent.

creepers only explode when you're next to them, lead them away from buildings to protect them.

Tefal · 4 Dec 2010 at 06:59

Also mobs don't spawn on 1 block of half stone, so you can just pave the the spawn area ratehr than lighting it up.

The sign would be me - the TNT house was blown up which left two huge holes in that area. I've spent the last few days filling in those holes and rebuilding the pathways/walls around that area that were destroyed.

I have no intention of building anything in that area, I just didn't want someone starting to build and then getting frustrated when I'm still filling in the craters around & under that area.

Creepers destroyed most of it. what you saw last night was me in the middle of trying to rebuilding it. this is seriously the last time i try and help anyone.the obsidian farm, that hasn't been there for ages.

I found it a bit difficult to do that when they were invisible and made no sound until the explosion/death.
I try to get away from the spawn area/other builds as quick as possible so all they were doing was blowing up a beach area... Still... Mouth foaming rage.

Although we have creepers wreaking havoc amongst the buildings it seems no matter what, it descends in griefing accusations. Rather than resort to this, we can become roaming bands of repairers to offset the creepers. Yesterday I fixed up all the damage to Andy's house and this morning did the same to jmillers, there is a certain satisfaction in putting things back in order. Hopefully I've got the repairs right as I'm working from memory having visited their places a few times. I'd encourage others to carry out repairs wherever they see damage, bring back the feeling of community!
