The DangerZone™

Thanks Josh for scouting out this place.  I’ve secured a lot of the path and made it partially ghast proof.  It still needs work but I ran out of cobble.  I also built a safe house with a portal to the surface for saving, harvesting and creation.  I also secured both blaze spawners including making a killing area for one of them.  Do not destroy the spawners.  Having them gives us unlimited blaze we can farm.  I forgot to take a pic of the nether wart but the fortress has some.  Don’t harvest until they are fully grown or you will only ever get 1 seed per plant.  I’ll make a farm later.  I also have plans for a gold farm.  It’s going to be a pain but if you guys can start helping me gather cobble, wood, and tracks I can get moving on it.  Now for the pics from my adventures:

Blaze spawner

Killing hole (hehe I said hole)

Magma slime

I changed some configurations in the Dynmap config that should make it render newly discovered areas faster.

Bukkit 1.2.4 dev build released

Don’t update untill the server does, we lose dynmap and all plugins if we update before the bukkit release is done. for information see this post in the forum

Change log

Fixed:
Chat history and much better chat editing
A few new decoration blocks
“Back” and “Quit” buttons to OutOfMemoryScreen

First interesting place I found was the jail.  There are maybe 4-5 of these that I could find.

 

After about an hour I found a library

 

This is what happens when you break blocks in there:

 

I spent maybe 3 hours in there and I still can’t find the ender portal.
