don't worry, in a couple years it will become "must tie baby to heavy object to prevent whirlwind of chaos"

and you still won't have any free time

How do you get back to spawn from your place HO? I'm lost.

[HiddenOne]

dying always works for me, just leave your loot in my house, I'll keep it safe

or you could walk, follow the river, across the mountain, skirt the snow cap and the dark spruce forest and find the village, then wonder around until dark, then die anyway and hope you can find the stuff you should have left at my cave in the first place

Can't you just go to 0,0 ?

[Gust Hubb]

Haha. Thanks HO.

[cerveza_fiesta]

The undermountain is shaping up pretty nicely I must say. Working on an entrance now, and slowly chiseling out the top floor.

I'll have to go on a tour next time I'm on the server and see everybody's new digs.

Who is due east of the spawn in the acropolis-looking thing?

Anybody find desert anywhere nearby? I need some sandstone to add colour to my base. It'd be awesome if we could track down a colored clay biome too!

I've been about 5,000 blocks in all directions and couldn't find one. Really a bummer when you need sand / sandstone. There are a couple of beaches around though.

[cerveza_fiesta]

That's weird, deserts are usually so common. Maybe a good long trip thru the nether will find us one.

Whats up with the nether portal at the spawn base? when you return from it, it spits you out underground in a ravine 200 blocks away?

I wonder if there's some glitch that makes it so near-spawn portals don't work?

I thought it was working again... Guess not.

Should be a simple matter of making sure both portals are at more-or-less equivalent coordinates. There's a tutorial / calculator here.

Just use my superiorly placed one.

Is that in your base?

If so I will just use that. I was going to make a portal chamber, but I think we're too close together. If I do then I suspect our portals will screw each other up.

I can't remember how the mechanic works though. If port to the nether from, say, my base and it connects to your netherside portal because of close proximity, can I move the appropriate number of blocks netherside and set up a new portal that connects to the one in by base? Will that eliminate the crosstalk or are our portals just going to continuously mess each other up?

According to this thread (not sure if it's still accurate), the following always happens when you enter a portal:
1. Calculates the exact coordinate of the other world (1:8 ratio - see the calculator in my last post)
2. Creates a 128 block radius around that coordinate
3. Looks for the closest portal within that radius
4. Creates one if none exist

So if you map your nether portal and your overworld portal to be at the exact same equivalent coordinates, it should work. I hope. Maybe. This isn't an exact science.

[A Demon Llama!]

It should work, give it a try at least. And yeah, mine is in the my base.
