Apologies if I killed the server for anybody last night. I was downloading World of Tanks. Well, attempting to, the download was corrupt. Also I'm taking the machine down periodically - when I see no one is on - to give it a cool down break.

Here's a really cool tutorial on how to build a fireplace.

I love this game.

I had a cursory glance around spoodie's server earlier- I like what you've done with the place :D
What do I need to know before I doing anything?

Don't forget to eat. In real life I mean.

Pick a spot and start building I guess.

Sound appears to be broken, for me at least.

If anyone wants wood, gobblestone or mud I have spare in my base (up the wooden path). Also any tools in my misc chest are going spare.

I'm looking at renting a server once the game is a little more mature, to save me from running one at home. Currently I'm thinking jestservers.com which is what RPS use. If you know of any more let me know.

Also don't build a fireplace near my treehouse

notch said something about the sound update system was causing alot of the slowdown for the server so i think he turned it off for now

Where do you get bricks from? I've never even seen clay, let alone bricks.

Post by **FatherJack** » September 23rd, 2010, 16:24

There was some clay in amongst the sand near the spawn - it looked like a slightly whiter version of smooth stone. I made a few bricks out of it (smelt clay), but haven't seen any more since.

I started a new world the other day have have seen some hanging around beaches, stuck in the middle of sand and in the coastline itself.

Post by **Dog Pants** » September 23rd, 2010, 17:31

I wonder if my single player world needs replacing. I might have started it before clay. Actually, it's not worth losing my monster deathtrap factory for.

Also, this is quite interesting. PCG article on mining based on research data.

Ive been playing with fire. My underwater church is now much more DRAMATIC.

Post by **fabyak** » September 23rd, 2010, 22:21

I stumbled upon some clay in a beach whilst on my travels so it's around, just about as common as diamond though

I think clay's most often found under sand next to water rather than near the surface, but don't quote me on that though.
