Here's a GIANT monster trap and item harvesting maching TazRunner built on our server. It collects 2000 items per minute. One of the spawning alleys was made by hand and then duplicated using World Edit. Then TazRunner finished it up by hand with a little help from anyone who was around.

Wish I had taken videos of the spawning alleys being "activated". A few of us had to run around and start the water flowing in each alley, which also blacked out the alley, and then we had to get the heck out of the pitch black alley before a mob spawned, move to the next alley, rinse, repeat...

It's absolutely mesmerizing to watch this work.

Dang, I sure didn't see this yet.

It's way off in the South West corner of the map. Stands out HUGELY as a sandstone colored rectangle in a lake.

LOL, that happened to me today. Was walking around a corner that was in a very well lit area & I hadn't seen anything there in days & bam creeper. I actually let out a tiny ahhh. Not quite as bad as that dude though.

OMG, I've been in working the same dungeon for the last 5 days & still haven't explored all the branches. Is this normal? I've found 3 spawns & believe there's one or two more.

Yup. I never get tired of exploring caverns. Just when I think I've seen everything, I walk around a corner and see something beautiful and unique.

Most caverns have a lot of branches. Some peter out pretty quick and some go on forever.

Latest project: 1:1 scale Space Shuttle on final approach to Kennedy Space Center's runway 33. You can even go inside of it (the glass is missing from the roof observation windows so you can enter using the flying mod).

We built this from scale drawings. All done by hand, and then TazRunner used World Edit to relocate it to an empty area and flatten out a runway. Taz also wired the sequencing runway lights for us. I haven't gotten around to learning how to wire things in the game yet.

LOL, I'm still in the same dungeon after another 8 or so hours. A bit pissed though, because I fell with the diamond shovel & helmet that were given to me & couldn't get back to them in time. I've started marking off or sealing of sections I've already been in & I'm barely making progress. I think I've managed 30-40% of the cave so far. At least nothing is spawning anymore that I can tell.

Cool shot of the ship. Bet that's a pain to get to.

Heh....

LOL, OK, that's good.

Okay, here's the full Space Shuttle tour video, including the interior. Watch it while you can before they take it down for the sound track

Very nice.

To give you a sense of the size of the shuttle, here's the realtime map of Poopie's server. NE of the Shuttle you see several buildings. This thing dwarfs most of the buildings except for Poopie's Super Walmart at the top of the map.

I think that's your place on the right, Normalicy.

I could tell it was huge from the video.
