Land availability

Chista, Sun Dec 28 2014, 01:39PM

I <foolishly> transported to the new map, not knowing how to get back ^.^ I found this bit of land land and wanted to build there, but when I looked at the map online i noticed that there is this building probably within a too close range.

Who lives there and would they mind if I built over in this hamlet?

There is another hamlet like it slightly north but I saw something that looked like a starter dig at it, so that is probably taken.

In case a build plan is wanted: I want to build a stronghold within the hamlet, working with the land and trying to keep as much as possible of the enviroment in one piece. I plan to extend towards the forest to the south once the borders expand and build a town there. I dont want to extend the build quite as far back as the circle goes (im a bit sloppy) and intend for most to be underground, perhaps peeking out of the side of the mountain except for a few stylized bridges and perhaps a statue. That means most of the visible landscape changes wont be too obvious, with exception of the bridges and perhaps a tower.

From what I remember, that's a temple dedicated to somebody's Creeper God or something. Dunno who built it, but I imagine they wouldn't mind having him overlook a nice little town...

If you want to get back, use the command /warp oldspawn.

I'd rather be sure the actual maker doesn't mind, since the last time I made something while others said it was ok, the creator.. well.. is part of the reason I didn't stick too long that time.

EDIT: I image a creeper god would probably be most likely to... come from Q...

At spawn is a similar creeper statue, most likely built by the same person. Don't know who and no signs at all, sadly.
As for your building project: scouting that area i did not find any signs of activity there, not even mining torches. A bit west are a few wood blocks in a line, but those look like a border marker to me and not any build (since they are directly at the border).
The 'this' hamlet is over 100 blocks away from both the creeper temple and that small digging site north so that would be perfectly safe to build.
Just not too sure about building on the mountain side since that would bring you closer to those other builds.
Could maybe a staff member go there (/warp a1 and a2) and check who built those?

Nan said he'll check it out once he's back, Was just hoping that maybe the owner of the build might answer sooner than Nan returned.

The player who build the Creeper Temple was kniznik.

The player who built the unsual object at warp "a2" was JohnnyBoy420.

Best you go ask those players Chista wink

hadn't even seen the unusual object til now. I'll see if I can catch them, and if not I'll just wait for border expansion, as there is 2 other spots I saw that would also be interesting to build at. Assuming they will not be taken already. It will give me time to gather materials =)

at the east spot you marked shrapnell already started a built at that one spike mountain near the snowy area (at 1090, -350), only visible when you zoom in.
Back then he said he only wanted that one mountain, the rest of the area should be completely free

I think the spot I was looking at it slightly more south

EDIT: N/m it's not. North option it is?
Re: Land availability
Shrapnel, Wed Dec 31 2014, 03:32PM

Yeah, I'm building on the spike and the snowy mountain right near the bay. anything else is up for grabs.

I'm silly, trying to search the userlist ^.^;


EDIT: obviously not as pretty, but a rough idea for the northern spot

Eh. I guess the cat is out of the bag now. Damnnnn. I was hoping to secretly build the grand creeper and the creeper cathedral somewhere in the world, before spreading more rumours of the new religion cheesey.

Chista, be my guest. You can build as closely as you want. That was sorta like a hidden easter egg for travellers.
