Are you one of the old people who get lost? A good idea though, maybe the the guardian farm could be a prismarine design, the one that goes through the nether fortress could be nether-y so netherrack, netherbrick, lava etc. I don’t know what the other two could be though but they can be left as TBD.

Haha, I think everything should make sense as you do it .... I hope. I forgot to add, I started decorating one of the Nether tunnels but I don’t really like it as it is too grey. But I can’t come up with a design I like so feel free to change it or come up with a design in one of the other tunnels. The only thing bits that have to stay are the 2 block wide ice path and the stairs either side of it. I started building it out stone as we have a lot of it and it is easy to get more. Maybe we should build out of prismarine though as now we have a guadian farm we have unlimited amounts of it. Though I wonder if we should keep the nether tunnels nether themed - I dunno. Alternatively we have each cardinal direction tunnel be different.

When we gonna keep this one up until Greebs? I can try and have some runs Sunday and Monday if it's still on. If not, happy to try and get involved on the next time trial. This combo is on until this Sunday (06/01) so you have some time to get a few laps in

WE FINALLY HAVE A MENDING VILLAGER!!!! I traded quite a bit with the mending villager to get enough mending books for me so there are a few spare in the chest underneath him. The prices is 30 something (I think 32 emeralds) which isn't great as it can be as cheap as 10 or 12 I think but I'll take an expensive mending villager over no mending villager. I think we have trades now for all the important enchants at the best or one below the top level so a bit of book combining should see all enchants at the max levels. I've been working on a bigger XP farm than the skeleton spawner, I was going to go with a doughnut pigmen farm but they apparently don't work on realms so going for a guardian f arm. Thankfully all the villager trading netted me quite a lot of glass and I built a super smelter The main box is up though there is still alot of to do on it though hopefully it won't be too long until it is up and running. I've also started building ice paths in the nether hub so we can get around quicker, just place a boat on the ice and off you go I've built an ice tray so will take quite a lot more mining of ice yet but thankfully with mending now we don't need to worry about having to re-make all our tools Edit: Farm is working - If you go in to the nether and follow the East tunnel you should come to another nether portal which takes you to the farm. None of the chests are currently hooked up so if you want any of the drops then these are collected manunally for now. To XP, flick the lever to XP mode, walk through the fence gate making sure to close it behind you and wait a little bit until enough Guardians are there and kill them all! It is best to have sweeping edge on your sword so you can kill them all in a few hits. A couple things to note - Guardians have thorns on them so you will take damage as you kill them. This will knock you back so make sure the fence gates are closed behind you. If you have mending on your armour the XP you get should outweigh the damage you take. If you only want to repair tools, take your armour off before killing the Guardians. Again you will take damage so watch your health and eat some food. You should be able to repair a tool or 2 before taking too much damage though. I'll try and get a beacon set up for health regen to help out but that will be some time away as wither skeleton skulls as a pain the ass to get.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 50/100 My Time 155 seconds

Nope, unfortunately not. There is a few more librarians at the bottom of the breeder which need to be unlocked. At this point I don’t even care if it is expensive, I just want a mending villager! Though still need to sort out a good source of XP which I have an idea about but that will have to wait.

So I decided to use my first day of leave wisely and spent most of playing MC - oops! On a positive side though, we have a proper villager trading hall now. With a small melon, pumpkin and sugar cane farm on top of it I've trapped the best villagers and put signs up with their trades. I've put some chests in there too with all the stuff you'll need to trade (carrots, pumpkins, melons, potatoes, wheat, books, emeralds etc.). If you need more emeralds, trade with the farmers. If you need more books, trade with the librarians for bookshelves and then break the bookshelves with your axe. If you do any trading then try to as many trades as possible so they don't lock their trades.

I didn't realise there were only 3 N800 cars in the game. Maybe I should remove it from the list for future rounds. Though I've never thought it was too difficult to earn credits, I always have seem to have a few million though buying the Vulcan the other day did put quite a dent in my credits. I gave it another 10 laps of the Lambo today and got my time down to a low 25 but I still don't feel it handles the best. So I switched back tot he Vulcan for 10 laps and managed a high 1:24 but that car is so hard to control. I have my TC on 1 but trying to go full throttle round some of the corners even in third or fourth and the car spins. I do feel the Vulcan is quicker though so I think I'll stick to it and see if I can eek out a faster time....or crash a lot more

Which Lambo are you using? That is a fast time though! I’ve only just scraped a 1:25 but that was a struggle so not sure how much faster I can go.

Damn this combo is a tricky one! I tried the Lambo out but didn't like it as I always felt like I was understeering too much but trying the Aston Martin Valkyrie out and I can't stop spinning the damn thing!

Close, it’s this one

If isn’t a christmas movie- how do I have a Die Hard christmas jumper? ‘splain dat!

Yeah, I prefer the racing cars in racing games but fun to drive some of the road cars too. All different ways to drive. I don’t even know what cars are in N800 but I know they’re going to be fast!

So the next combo is Car: N800 Track: Autodrome Lago Maggiore - West

Poll options are wrong by the way, the options should be ‘Yes’ or ‘Wrong answer’. Obviously I voted yes.

Nice time @phil bottle I don’t know how much time manual will find you but it is quicker. If you can get used to manual then things are going to get tight at the front. Apologies for not posting a new combo yesterday, I got home too late and just needed sleep. I will roll the randomiser when I’m home and post the combo.

Haha yeah, I'm working from today so thought I'd log in and AFK a bit to let the villagers breed some more. The beacon was already activated so you shouldn't have needed to put any more iron it. Yeah that is the effect of the beacom but as it is only a haste 2 beacon you should only notice the effect if you try mining. I just tried it now and I can instant mine blocks so it should be working for you too. It does only have a range of 50 blocks so maybe you moved outside of it? I just built the beacon there as it was an easy place to build it but it can be moved wherever If you log on again and still isn’t working drop a reply here or a pm and I’ll come on.

So it turns out that spawn is low enough for 2 more iron farms to be built above the existing one. It isn’t pretty but it was the easiest way to get iron quickly. Which on that note we now have a beacon I built it at the start of my mine by the drop hole and water elevator. Though it has a range of 50 blocks so should reach your mine too Plumber. Though to pretty up spawn so we don’t have floating iron farms I might use the beacon to dig a hole deep enogh to put an iron farm underground and then remove the floating ones. Even if it is rather amusing to see iron golems falling from the sky I was afk’ing for iron close enough to the villager breeder too. We got another couple librarians so need to unlock them but so far still no mending villager

Hmmmm so ok there is a realm server reset eventually which kicks you. I don’t know how often that is though but you cen certainly AFK for a few hours using the item frame trick. I know all the iron is going towards the beacon but the farm doesn’t generate that quickly so might build another one. I’ll have to check the y-value of spawn as iron farms need to be built at least 64 blocks apart. So if we are at a low enough y value, we may be able to fit another farm above the existing one and, if the y vaue is low enough, 2 more farms above the iron existing one. This would save having to build another killing chamber and collection system. I won’t get chance to check tonight but will try to get on tomorrow to see if we can build one or two more iron farms. I suspect it is only one but always good to be hopeful of building 2.

Haha that isn’t a bad tactic, unless you use a car that is faster with BoP enable than not. I might have to try that though, see if I can set an even faster time.

So the method @Spacedeck linked to doesn’t work as it appears that realms are linked to player input rather than player movement. However it did lead me to other threads and comments on the subject. One of which being that some AFK fish farm designs work by / keep you logged in by having you constantly clicking an item frame. A lo and behold it works, if you place an item frame with any item in it, hold your right click on the item frame so the item is rotating then unplug your mouse. Unfortunately this only works while you keep MC as your active window so you can’t do anything else on your pc while AFK’ing but still it is handy to know. It also means that with some more mining and a little afk’ing we are up to 90 blocks towards the 164 required for the beacon

So managed to fit in 11 laps last night and managed a 1:38.324. I wasn’t being consistent though so probably could shave a little time off that too. I’ll try and give it a go with tc on higher, auto gears tonight and see what time I set

Nice! Good to see times getting down in to the 1:30’s. I guess a 1:30 something is my aim when I pull my finger out and do some laps. I’ll try and fit some laps in tonight and post my time.

Haha yeah there are lots of hills but I thought you’d realise it is the new building the popped up. Though for reference the iron farm is to the south of spawn

Nice to see you getting your time down Phil. If you get down to a 1:40, next stop is 1:39’s I still need to put in a few laps to get a proper fast time. I might then do a few laps in high TC only, auto only and then both if I have enough time.
