quick cavern making test.
128 tnt used in a short 3x3 corridor
The dwarf cavern will be made by having several of these corridors running parallel all filled with tnt an set off in a chain.
More tnt needs to be made
might test a 2x2 tunnel next

Had fun last night, not that I built much, still trying to find a nice spot to build on and need inspiration for a house.
Being new to this I'm not sure where to look for a good area to mine. What if I just dig straight down for example is it possible I could find any resource pretty much anywhere?

check the spawn room, there's some basic tools in the boxes to get you started.
and let me know if it needs filling up again.
caves are the best things to mine for quick resource gathering as lots of resources are on display/.
but grid mining can be safer (less mobs unless you tunnel into a cave) but more intensive.

don't do that though, as if you hit a cave full of mobs or a lava lake you'll not only die, but you'll lose all your stuff aswell.
i prefer cave mining, i did a load of it last night and ended up with 30 diamonds (the best material you can make tools from) whereas grid mining just cost me loads of iron, didn't get me much of anything (except redstone) and still managed to get me killed. i hate gravel lol

Yeah I saw them last night and took the basics - everything seemed pretty well stocked.
OK - so need to find a cave. Might relocate my home as well then. Can you TP to locations other than spawn, home and players?
Did that last night and put up a sign, after re-reading the rules though I forgot to put a date on it. Shall do so on lunch break... if it hasn't been removed

Does anyone know how to get a cartograph of a multiplayer map? I have no multiplayer map on my PC and no idea how to download it.

I need to do a bit of mining myself, if you're on tonight we'll do a cave hunt. Split profits 50/50. Better to mine in pairs or more.
Soldato
Unlikely be on tonight with it being a Friday. Never know though,will see how it pans out. Thanks for the offer, I'll give you a shout if I make it on

The carto is upto date as of Approx 9pm last night.

ii think maybe the link on the server is possibly wrong then? it links to an old carto, riz. I just tried downloading it again and it's the same. the carto currently on the website still has a clock tower in spawn and is missing several buildings.

Just got broadband back so I can play again.
Noticed that you've started work on the dwarf cavern... I have a tunnel I accidentally made too close to it so if you need to, just build into it. I'm not fussed

i'll send him a message.

Also, spawn for the last few days has been perfectly fine, no lag whatsoever. So good job on filling in those holes.
However, the half-finished buildings in spawn is generating spiders/skels/creepers. its a dangerous place to 'idle' in atm. Would be nice if people finished off the buildings they started, or at least put lights all over them/on the roofs.
