Time to show off The Atrium.

I am no architect, but rather I am an admirer of architecture. My observations of the world have led me to believe that the most telling feature of a society is its ability to create. The things that society creates are reflections of its power, wealth, and technology. Unfortunately, this is but a dream for the every man, as his personal power and wealth are limited- just as a business or civilization is- this may never be attained for all. I can but hope to gain the power and wealth to express myself through such a medium as architecture one day.

As such, I would like to introduce my virtual piece of architecture that I call The Atrium.

The view looking towards the west

Its design is inspired by the works of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, one of the masters of the Modern Architecture movement. In The Atrium, I attempted to mimic his style in the way that The Atrium is minimally supported and is open and I wanted to maintain as open an interior as possible without compromising its functionality. Personally, I am bored of seeing castle after castle. Ever since the first iteration of the server I have strived to be different and create things that push the boundries of what the medium of minecraft can offer. Here it is in some more detail.

Entrance

For our new storage room, I decided, in conversation with kooha (aka resistedx), that we no longer desired the clutter of the floating chests from the previous iteration of the server, so we decided this time to have sunken chests as well as 24 sunken furnaces.

Basemen level one facing the south

Facing the northeast

And with that, I believe that the bar has been raised. I sincerely wish that someone else will put in the time to raise it further in this community. It would be an honor to concede the placement of the figurative bar. Humbly, I must recommend that projects should not be started so high on a mountain top since the maximum height is 128 on Y. It was the major flaw in the design of this structure as i would have liked The Atrium to be less spherical and more slender at the top. I'd also like to thank Resistedx for his consent in destroying 90% of what we had created in order for me to have the space to complete this project as well as his input and help.

(it can be found on the map at -950 x and 0 z.)

SEREJAI!!!!!

hi.

I just found out that mob spawners are destructable by default. Could you remove that feature so stupid people like me don't destroy them by accident? :X

I would love you forever and dedicate a stone to you in the great wall of revoton!

PS: Glowstone, QQ!

I don't know if you are misinformed or just made a typo, but mob spawners are destructible by default, not by fault. You can always break them in the normal game.

I was told there may be lore implemented with the NPC update. If you do have lore stored away, could you maybe enlighten me to some of it? I'd love to write some lore of my own as I play -- RPing, at least to a small degree to give my buildings a theme, has always made this game more fun for me.

Just curious what kind of themes and standards of living you have for this fictional world, so that I may write around it as I develop my own little region.

At the moment the entire RPG element of the server is on indefinite hold due to various reasons, including but not limited to:

a) NPCs not functioning properly in 1.0
b) Custom mob settings not working in 1.0
c) Spout being discontinued (need this for custom blocks, monsters, etc)

However, the gist of the story was (and upfront, I'm not SirJolt so don't expect a masterpiece) that the skylands was a former world and it was destroyed by some wizard so everyone wakes up in a cave on the main map with amnesia. Also, the monsters from the skylands are starting to invade the main world, too. Great plot, huh?

Map was going to be rather dynamic with monsters invading certain areas, monster strongholds popping up, etc. I simply can't do any of that in 1.0 at the moment but that's the lore in a nutshell. I didn't give official names to anything yet so you're more than welcome to name areas and NPCs yourself and if it gets to the point where our content works in 1.0 then I'll simply use your names.

Serejai, if this updates, can you add this plugin?

[RPG] PhatLoots v0.9.1 - Chests with randomly generated money/items [953]
PhatLoots

Using commands like:

/loot time test 1'6'45'30 (looter can loot the chest again after waiting
1 day, 6 hours, 45 minutes, and 30 seconds.)

or

/loot add test money 1 25 (looter will get 1-25 coins)

You can make custom chests with custom loot with custom reset times, perfect end room rewards for temples.

MackaroniJ has been banned from the server for: Griefing. (Banned by Aeres)

1,685 blocks modified by MackaroniJ have been reverted.

+ Show Spoiler +

Will be posting bans as they happen so you guys who aren't on the server at the time can know what's going on and whatnot. Will also make a ban list in one of the op posts to handle temp bans, warnings, etc.

My automatic-collecting wheat farm:

How to use:

1. Wait until wheat has grown

2. Push the lever below; water will be released and harvest the wheat

3. ???

4. Profit

5. Remember to replant the wheat afterwards!

6. I have built a chest to put left-overs, but I forgot how to deprivatize a chest. Can someone tell me?

7. The location (yes my fps sucks):

Everyone's welcome to use it! But be mindful of others! Also, I currently do not have enough seeds, so if you can plant some for me that would be fantastic.

Guys, please make sure to spoiler pictures in here, or this gets one huge big mess pretty damn soon.

EDIT:

FIRST SILK TOUCH PICK ON THE SERVER, FUCK YES!

Selling now: Redstone ore, coal ore, diamond ore, grass blocks and more cute things you can get with it. ^.^

Use /cremove to make a fully public chest. If you want them to be able to access it but not break it then use /cpublic after using /cremove. I finished planting all the wheat and gave you 6 stacks of seeds in a completely unprotected chest so that you can get rid of it if you want. Also some flowers.
