Minecraft Multiplayer: GWJ World

The seed just makes sure we get an interesting and usable spawn. I don't think anyone is really exploring out to the extent that the GWJ world quickly expands to. I created a world for my son and his friends and the spawn was a tiny "island" of sand without even the token tree. Land was nowhere to be seen.

Yeah, if you compare the maps posted with the current server map, you'll see that we're basically just picking the area right around spawn. Past GWJ spawn cities have easily covered the entire area shown.

With that in mind, I think the seed should be chosen to give us a blank-slate spawn and let exploration get us to the other biomes. Every world has seen projects like road and rail networks spring up pretty quickly, and I believe that the complaint with the current world was that we weren't able to reshape spawn like we had in the past.

The seeds I posted I explored a little. About 20 seconds in each direction on most, primarily to ensure multiple biomes and no swaps too close.

Personally I'm liking large biomes 'Wiener Bomb!' world.

I vote for Wiener Bomb!

Or anything with trees near spawn and without swamp near spawn.

That village is going to get steamrolled so fast...though putting the central city at the interface between desert and grasslands could be really neat. Especially when you come in from crossing the desert and see it appear on the horizon.

There's a second village just across the lake from the first one too.

EDIT: Oh, and the spawn point seems to be in the jungle. But that can be moved around pretty easily if we want it closer to the river or something.

Looks like we have a wiener.

I'm okay with just about anything.

When I did Wiener bomb, my spawn was in the plains, I think.

Also, maybe we could make a priority of fencing the village when it launches and save those guys as a challenge?

Spawns will vary from person to person, usually by 500 blocks or so I think.

Look at all that raw glass...

Prerelease is out (and running on the bubblemod.org server with the Wiener Bomb! large biome seed)

Oh wow, your mod went crazy on that world Orphu.

Ooohhh, Quartz.

I'm playing on orphu's server and I've got quartz blocks. The ones with the vertical lines are pillars, crafted by placing one quartz block atop the other. Still not sure how to make the block with the fancy pattern.

You need your fancy pants. Duh.

Do they have to be pants?

Is space an issue?

I figured it out, but I'm not going to tell you guys now. u_u

I don't want to know.

OMFG! A proper white stone! Childlike Empress, I'm on my way!

You mean like Never Ending Story?

Yes. I've been trying to build her tower for three or four servers now.

Where does quartz come from? Just in the ground like stone, or a special zone?

It's an ore found in netherrack, in the nether.

You can now smelt netherrack, making nether bricks.

Oh. Damn. The nether scares me.

Me too. I guess I'm going to have to put on my big girl panties and figure it out now.

Her name is Moonchild.

C'mon, ghasts and wither skeletonss and blazes are just cuddly little furballs!
