*** Official OcUK Minecraft Server - Discussion and Rules ***

Just considering texture packs at the moment and have just tried Sphax, which looks pretty good, but what packs, if any, are other people using?

PIctures would be nice, if possible :)

I think the spawn should contain:
  1. Farm - Melon and Wheat
  2. Tree farm for wood
  3. Swap signs for trade
  4. Large deposits of cobble to get newbies started
  5. Clear and precise roads and signs going N,S,E and W describing exactly who and what is in that direction
  6. A nether portal
  7. A transport system

Besides that it should be a small spawn (like the 1.8 map) with open areas around so if other people are in the spawn then they are visible.

Some more ideas
  • Community night where we ALL work on a SINGLE community build (say Friday or Sunday night)
  • Party night where we get prizes for best weeks build, best skin and other awards for being the most helpful etc

Don't you think the spawn point should be the jewel of our server, with all builds around the spawn area being our BEST creations.
Could we not make a vote (once a month) and have the best builds moved to lots around the spawn area or at least on a reserved area on the map where outstanding builds are moved to!

I think should also have Nuttys KFC farm :) yum yum
 
Hey all... Now I know we're really close to official release and we're all excited about the new map but I was hoping to pitch 2 mods which I think will allow us to build some pretty sweet things.

1st is a portcullis mod and 2nd is a retractable bridge mod.
Both are on the bukkit forums so I'm assuming they're compatible. They're real simple redstone powered items which I think could look good for castle builds, moats etc.
Only word of warning would be that you have to put a block in the way to stop the portcullis\bridge moving or it'll simply keep going until it hits something.

I'd be happy to post a topic on LT to gauge the community response but thought I'd ask here first just to see what people thought.

LT Admins - don't know if this the best time to be pitching mods but figured you don't know until you ask.
 
Server restarted.

I'll have a look at those mods. If they are bug free then they don't sound game-breaking. I'll need to check up on them and test them though.

First thing that comes to mind is can you mine the blocks they generate? i.e. free slabs..

They don't generate blocks mate, we use it on the oxygene server and I don't believe we've had problems with it.

You must make sure there is a block in place to stop the bridge or else it will just keep extending and fly off into the distance. Tutorial on how to use it on oxygene's YouTube channel :)

Highly recommended for castle builds.

What happens when they're just left to fly off into the distance?
 
well for the portcullis it just make me not have to use fancy redstone systems
as we already have a portcullis in game well we have 3 now all built by me.
there might be more if someone else made one too.

the bridge would be cool but as FT said what happens if just left to fly off?

EDIT: reading up on this looks like the bridge stops moving when it looses redstone power
so if it goes off the bridge it will just stop and run off into the distance it just wont retract.

My understanding on this is it'll just keep going until it hits another block. That's the major drawback I seen tbh.

I would hope the player would notice if they missed the "stopping block" pretty quick and stop the runaway bridge..

I use the Sphax 64 pack, but with the sun & moon imported from Borderlands texture pack.
