 Also my suggestions for town name are Moonview and Lunarburgh (though I'm not entirely sure how that sounds outside of Scotland) | ||

Edit 2: Zounds, Moonview is fun, but then I'm biased as hell.  We should get a good collection of names from the community and put it to a vote or something.Edit 3: Someone wrote "wingboners" in the air with cobblestones. I need to get on that Moon Cannon already. | ||

also who built this? ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Q1nMe.png) Please refrain from making floating buildings out of anything other than wool/snow near the town square. We'd like anything in the air to be cloudlike to fit the whole theme. Cane is now demolishing it because it had no signs and it doesn't fit the theme. | ||

Yes, CHECK THE OP IF YOU ARE A PEGASUS. Read the Pegasus spoiler. There's a new fly mod and you have to install some files before you can use it, but it's simple enough to set up. | ||

Up until now, there's been a plugin which removes falling damage for Pegasi. This was necessary because the other fly mod was made of failure. Now we have the new one installed and it's working beautifully. However, the falling damage plugin is very customizable, and instead of keeping it as it is or even removing it, I'd like to turn it to a different use. Earth ponies can now fall greater distances without hurting themselves (being more athletic and all). This doesn't mean you can jump off tall buildings, but it does mean that you shouldn't take so much damage when using the feather super jump any more. Default fall damage for Pegasi and Unicorns is down to 5 (from 6). If you fall greater than 5 blocks, you'll start to take damage. Earth ponies can fall from a height of 8 before they start taking damage. This might be excessive but that should be revealed through testing. In other words, Pegasi take fall damage again! Use the fly mod and be careful. =) If there's any problems with the new set-up, let me know. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/hxbCj.png) Please stop building gravity-defying structures and towers!  Luna went and removed this with her magic because, once again, there was no sign saying who made it, and it was breaking certain laws of physics. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/52Maq.png) Edit: After talking about it in-game, the general agreement is that you can work on it for a week or two, just so we can see how this project might turn out. But it needs to be awesome, and you need to have something to show for it by the end of that time.  When you're taking up this much room in a community server (where space is more limited than any resource), it needs to be as good looking as it is big. And I swear to you, you won't even fill even half that space. You're way overestimating the amount of room you'll need to make your vision come to life.My main problem with stuff like this isn't "I don't like it", it's "I don't see any possible reason for anything being this big this early on in a very new Minecraft server, especially when it's helmed by someone who cannot provide any kind of floor planning, or adequately explain what all that space will be used for, who also has never played Minecraft before." I've built this kind of stuff before, when I was a Minecraft newbie, and it never, ever, ever works out. Not because you grow tired of the project (although that is a very possible risk), but because you just never, ever need that much space, unless you're literally building a megastructure. I'll bet you that at the end of this period, you'll have used half of the space you've claimed for yourself, with no clear plans for the rest beyond "I'll have stuff there". That's just what my Minecraft experience tells me. Good luck with your vision. I hope I turn out to be wrong. | ||

Anyways you either need to the basics of something epic down or at least some posts here detailing what you want to do because filling a space that big that well isn't something you should rush. So show us that you have a good solid plan by the end of the time frame is what we're asking for, not to be done. Because a project that big should NOT be done in a week or two. | ||

http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/482147-100b181b19pre5dec12-reis-minimap-v29/ It allows you to see the map in a large window as well as set waypoints. So you can mark the way back to town, to your home, to places you want to explore etc and you can even toggle them on and off on the minimap. You will basically never get lost again as long as you remember to set a waypoint. | ||

Also we found a very large minecart path we took it out and had to restart the server due to unrelated issues. Now without the minecard path all of the lag is gone. This is why we tell you not to build mine cart paths they wreck SMP if they go over large distances. Making a small one for fun that doesn't pass through more than 1 or 2 chunks is fine but anything larger than that is going to cause issues. edit: We may or may not have renamed ourselves to the ShadowBolts | ||

Please, please, please, PLEASE do not build any minecart tracks! Please. As a personal favour to me and everyone else on the server who isn't building one. Twice now the server has been lagged to shit, twice we've deleted almost a kilometre of minecart tracks, and twice the server instantly improved. The memory leaks associated with some of this stuff seems ever prevalent. We can't be completely sure that they're what's been causing it, but it's the only likely culprit we have. Regarding nether bricks: They have their uses... but not in completely square buildings, and especially not if you can see them from spawn. We had to take down a netherbrick house that had been started right next to the city hall because it was such an eyesore. We don't even know who built it! Speaking of which, please put your name in front of whatever building you make! Just a sign saying who made it. Most of the buildings still lack this one easy-to-make feature that would help immensely when we're trying to show people around. Seriously, you guys made some kick-ass stuff, go in there and put your names on it. There's a lot of awesome stuff coming, and a lot of new buildings going up. I'm going to update the OP to talk about all this stuff a little more, but the gist of it is, we want your help! A few more commercial/community buildings will be going up around the town circle (again, will have more information in the OP), so if you can help out with the construction, or material gathering, or offer ideas for which buildings we should add, or anything, then come be a part of it! Once the planning phase is over, a new era of construction begins in our fair little town. Once we lay down the main roads and connect them to our current offshoots, everyone will have a much better idea of where to build their homes, or whatever else they want to make. In short, we want to ensure that everyone can get in there and start building their stuff. You've all blown me away with some of the stuff you've made (holy shit Potmilk your house went from silly antigravity cube with an apple in front to full blown Egyptian style garden with columns and fountains), and I can't wait to see what you guys do in the centre. More details to come, and I will post again in this thread to make sure everyone goes to check it out. Fun things happening! Love, The Shadowbolts. Because FUCK YEAH LUNA | ||
