I'm not sure on the fresh install, I would have though deleting everything and starting again should create a completely new game. As for the FG.zip, yes you will need to unzip it and put the relevant resource, mods etc. files in to the mincecraft folders.

Bart, as I said my time on over the next few days will be sporadic but next week I will have loads of free time. So if you want to leave a chest (or chests) of materials, you can focus on building spawn and I can continue laying out the road(s).

I've got family around tonight so not sure if i'll make it on tonight but if I am, I'm happy to help out anyone. Though my knowledge is limited to vanilla console minecraft from a number of years ago so there is a lot I don't know.

This might be a stupid question but; Have you actually got Java installed? Is it the latest version?

Morning folks! So knackered this morning, it is far to easy to sit on Minecraft and completely loose hours! Also, Happy Birthday Martin! Have a good one fella.

Looking good, though if we're building something like discussed, don't we need to flatten out spawn? Obviously the road outside spawn can go over land but just for spawn.

I figured the beds would come in handy if anyone new joined at night as they can instantly sleep. That was before realising it was peaceful but still nice to have. It is amazing how much extra time you have knowing you can work through the night without having to go back to to sleep.

I've done quite a bit of mining tonight and added some beds to the diamond chest in the middle for any new joiners. My house is in the green bit by the waters edge (forgot to screen show where) but it shouldn't be too hard to find. I have a chest inside the house and several underneath (access is to the left of the steps in to the house). Feel free to take anything you need out of any of the chests.

I'm sure I am missing something important out as I am doing this from memory. Things are a little easier being is an online server as other players can give you things which speeds things up however the basics are still the same. Basic controls; Mouse - move your aim Left click - perform an action (punch, dig, mine etc) Right click - place / use selected item W,A,S and D - move Ctrl - Run (though I think run can be activated by pressing W then press and holding it) Shift - Stealth / crouch Space - Jump E - Open inventory Numbers 1-9 at top of keyboard - select things from your quick inventory (the line of items at the bottom) Q - Drops one of the current item stack your holding. If you want to drop a whole stack, left click and drag it out of your inventory. J - Brings up a full screen map. In your inventory; Left click - select everything in that stack or if holding items place everything in that stack Right click - pick up half the stack or if holding items, place 1 of that item Crafting; You can craft on the move by pressing E however it is quite limited in what you can make. To craft most things you need a crafting table (I'll get on how to build one in a bit). To craft anything you need to places the right items in the right order - with one of the mods everything is on the right and side and searchable to find out how to build it. First things first in the game, being survival you need to survive - mobs spawn in dark places on the map or at night. The best way to avoid these at night it to sleep through the night which stops any spawning. On the server every player will need to sleep to skip the night. To sleep you will need to make a bed and to make a bed you will need a crafting table and ideally to have a crafting table you will need to have a house. So first things first; 1. Build a house - if you want to keep it simple (which I do just to start with) is build a small house (the smallest you want to build internally is 3 x 3 and 2 blocks tall). 2. Build a crafting table - find some wood and cut it down, you will need 1 blocks. Bring up your inventory by pressing E, place the blocks in to your crafting and it should come up with 4 planks. Place the 4 planks in a square and it will give you a crafting table. Select the crafting table and right click to place it. 3. Right click on the crafting table and you wil get more crafting options to build stuff 4. To build a bed you will need 3 planks (crafted from wooden blocks) and 3 wool collected from sheep. Place 3 planks in a horizontal row with 3 wool above them and you have a bed. Select the bed in your inventory and right click to place it. 5. A basic set is complete now build and do whatever you want. One of the most important tips I can think of is, if you crouch (by holding shift) you wont walk off the edge of blocks which is useful if you want to look over the edge of cliffs or if you want to build out with nothing underneath. The other most important tip is don't mine the block you're standing on or the one above your head. Not often but this will lead to your death at some point. Being survival you have health and need to eat. Heathwise long falls will hurt and mobs will hurt you too. Food wise, to eat select an item of food and right click to eat. As a general rule, cooked meat restores more of your food meter than fruit or vegetables. If you need to heal you will automatically do so but only if your food meter is full.

I've caught a few episodes and it is enjoyable but then I love Dara O'Briains comedy and retro retro games.

But how many of is fall to our death before we change if

yeah that could be a problem! So move the big tree to one side, maybe plant a second one too? As I think it could look unbalanced with just one huge tree. Then have a little pagoda thing in the middle?

I didn't mean have a multicraft world, just a building like it with the exists going North, South, East and West. Something like this is what I was thinking: My scale is all wrong hence I gave up with half way through but you get the idea. Obviously too don't just need to use plain stone, grey was just an easy colour to show the design. Housing could then go around the outisde of these walls, like you get with towns around the outside of castles sort of thing.

That sounds good, I assume the N/S and E/W artery will begin at the big tree? Being that you want it to be a feature of spawn. I was thinking going by the google search you provided in the other thread, we could build something like this for the main spawn with the tree in the middle; https://minecraftbuildinginc.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Courtyard-Hub-4-Portals-minecraft-spawn-building-download-world-save-creative-survival.jpg though maybe with some water in the middle too, like this; http://www.schematicstore.com/shopdata/647/sales/efceaddef266a4394b6a085d4f6214ce.png Even if I have to do it in survival I don't mind. Once the simple base that you can survive with is built then the fun is building proper stuff.

Do you need just one person or all of us to test these? I'll be on but probably much later than anyone else.

Agreed, going in I was expecting it just to be set up server and go. However I was so wrong about that!

As I believe it, no there isn't a demo. The iPad and console version are the basic game and don't support modes. The iPad may also be slight cut down version too though I'm not sure on that. PC obviously supports mods and loads of other stuff. It still doesn't really explain the price difference though.

Next challenge, post 'morning' at 11:59 Good morning you beautiful people! You ugly fucks have a good one too.

You just need to get online and join us Do you always admire the size or other men's wood?

If you're looking at something like that for centre spawn, I can help build it as I've got a hectic week this week but from Sunday / Monday I should be off work and have plenty of time to build plenty. Obviously this is assuming we have a plan for the spawn so we can both work to a common goal. Which on that note, scrolling through those images it has given me an idea of what we could build. I'll have a go at planning it out later, like a quick aerial drawing or something.

I thought you said you wanted some, I just couldn't carry it to your chests

Sounds good, the only thing I wasn't doing was replanting but I had loads of seeds so it would be easy to do. Edit: If large animal farms would crash the server I assume redstone automatic farms and cookers etc would too.

All that farming gone oh well, these things happen. We can rebuild we have the technology

Hi all, I tried googling this but all I found is glitches on how to do it but I don't want to. As I'm digging, especially with sand and it falls I can see through the world. It usually is only a few frames but sometimes lasts a while and it is annoying. Screenshow showing what I mean So anyone know what causes it?

Don't worry, I wasn't planning on making a mob spawner any time soon I was just curious as on console you have to find a mob spawner in a cave to build one but this would make it easier. Mob farms and redstone automatic farms etc. are all things for the future once we have a good base going on.
