Lol, Interbabe. 

No, control it as you wish.  The only interest I still have is regarding the "maze" from bedrock to skull.  But it can bob and weave around anything you or anyone else builds.  An adventure trail. 

FYI there's a master control switch that turns the farms on and off.  Lot of redstone in that area, underground.

It's a tower that goes from bedrock to 256.  Interior is all decorated, with great attention to detail in some places. 

Here are a few screenshots.

Why you should become a moderator: Moderating is a form of entertainment.  There isn't much left for me to build that is novel and inspiring.  Therefore I should moderate. 

I'm a moderator on other sites and games.  If you google my nomiker I'm sure you'll see where.

Xoiiku, I've been wanting to preserve some of the Jungle landscape around my home on the member world.  Some is already under project protection.  Mnimal structures, like a partially hidden temple, small bungalow, small treefort, etc.  Nothing big, and no clearing.  In fact, there's a lot of good terrain around my place that could be preserved.

As far as a railway, the idea pops up frequently, then sputters and dies with no lasting result.

A rose, built to sky limit.  Or whichever flower looks best under MC pixelation.  I'll never get around to it.  Leaves would be spleef arenas or house plots.

There should be a video of Sircy's Planet Express build, that's the sort of cultured art that goes viral in MC communities.

Yeah Radlam, sorry.  There's no need to build.  I just want a filter to keep out the crazies.  The whole place is essentially public, but if you've applied I add you to the PStones guarding switches and buttons. 


There are two public projects.  Lowering the last crescent all the way down to Y:20, and expanding the slime farm.

Hey Bantam, I made you a VIP a few months back.  I finished the exterior with your help.   :D

Take any open plot you wish.

Techdude, you're accepted.  I'll check out your work when I'm online tonight.  I'm sure there's a large plot that will suit your fancy.

Projects and Creations / Re: Building Competitions

Well, the person who has the various components memorized would build faster than a person who has to reference tutorials.  Scoring a competition involving mechanisms would need to include a similar Rubric to what FLL uses to score robot competitions.

Function - how well it performs the designated task.

Style - aesthetic judgement

Economy - How streamlined is the wiring?  A small, compact, efficient design scores higher than a confabulated sprawling mass of redstone.



The creativity of the host is what would make or break a mechanism competition.  A combination task would work.  Like, build a mechanism that harvests a pumpkin, a cocoa bean, and a cactus, and delivers them to a 1 block area. 

Or a themed competition.  "Build the best hidden piston door"

Keep the task secret until the day of the competition, and allow only 2-3 hours to build it.

What I mean is, there are very few parameters on what's possible to build.  You can build anything you can dream of, from fantastical dystopian sci-fi landscapes to scenes from Lord of the Rings, upside down fortresses, MC Escher style buildings, etc. 

But for some reason, people's creative horizon extends no further than re-creating the real world.  Even when the sky is the limit(figuratively), you find towns that look Podunk USA.  Why build the eiffel tower when you can build a fantastical wizard's tower? 

Another quirk of minecraft that I find annoying is that people build walls around the cities, just like in real life.  What are you protecting against?  An unexpected zombie apocalypse?  There are benefits, I understand, but no wall will keep out a determined griefer unless it has city protection, in which case the point is moot.

I love "aesthetic" walls, built to look good in an artful fashion.  But throwing up a wall of cobblestone is a form of grief in my book.  It's ugly, anyone can do it, and it almost always results in more real estate being consumed than is necessary.  Which is bad in a game where sustainable access to undeveloped real estate is required for a healthy server.
