You sure that isn't a spoofed name? People do that all the time, pretending to be Notch.

Alrighty.

I just mined out a 50-block wide, 50-block long, 10-block high pit somewhere between the layers 15-17 (as the bottom-most level of the 'pit').
Not sure if I'm going to turn it into something with Redstone, or just leave it for now. Any suggestions?

What about a minecraft-chest storage system?

Maybe, but I think I might try to put a seven-segment display in there.
There's plenty of room though, so I can have multiple things inside. :D

Try asking deadmau5 if he had built any megastructures lately. I'm curious to know if he had the free time to do so.

He has his own public server, and it's literally always full. The second someone leaves, someone instantly takes their spot. So I doubt he really wants to be bombarded with questions while hes playing...

My server built a *gigantic* treefort last month. It took eight weeks for it to grow from a small treetop commingling of houses to a 30 square chunk, thriving, 3-D metropolis complete with a bank, store, arena, all sorts of farms, housing, employment, defenses, railway, and public kennel. Treefort, as it's known, extends from the literal top of the sky with the central World Tree, a fabricated, hollow, gigantic tree that forms the centerpiece of the wooden gargantuan, to the wharf below the fort's west side, and further down into the private redstone construction and mining firm known as IRM (IRM, IBM, aha) that reaches down to the bedrock, containing an in-construction 14-bit adding machine. It is completely fireproof, despite being over 90% wood/logs/leaves, and rests on top of a massive, sapling-made forest, it is protected by many foolproof barriers.

Now what's extremely amazing, if not already wowing, is that the only hacks used were to obtain lightstone for street lamps, reeds for the reed farm, and adminium for the town jail. Everything, yes, everything else, was mined or collected from mines, mega-farm complexes, or salvaged from tnt-damaged, hacked, or overly gaudy buildings that fell into bad maintenance, sold for scrap by their owners, or the gaudy components (i.e diamond blocks) simply moved, and replaced with less gaudy items.

So yes, nearly unhacked megalopolis. On the 1 block = 1 meter scale, this treefort, by volume, is the size of a real-life medium town, even moreso if you consider the amenities it can provide, along with housing (treefort can house up to 460 living entities, if each room was big enough for one person, each apartment for two, and each suite (important people get their own buildings) can hold three, and the dog kennel can house 30, along with other private kennels.)

Oh, and treefort is a fort. I installed tnt cannons hidden in the treetops, and whenever the server owner allows hostile mobs, we wait until night and climb up into the gatling watchtowers (redstone-utilizing rapid-fire dispensers) to nail creepers, zombies, and more.

Jindo, if you want to, will you release your older, not-going-to-work-on-the-plugin projects up as open source?

Uploaded the video about 5-6 hours ago but it's still processing, I'm beginning to think it's not going to finish.

EDIT: A couple more hours later..:

Great video. I'd love to see this as a "second" dimension in the regular world.

If it can damage people nearby, I might think of using it for an "Escape" map.

I did consider having it cause damage and it can be very easily implemented if you like.

Plus I still need to make some adjustments to make the mod compatible with ModLoader.

Finally got my programming tools together post-PC breakdown, and made this as an experiment:

Large, spherical frames made out of glowstone randomly generate across the world in this small adjustment I created.

Hopefully I can return to making that green mob thing I started a while back, although I'll have to start over.
 
General chit-chat
Help Users
  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    I ordered like five blocks for 15 dollars. They're just little aluminum blocks with holes drilled into them
  • Varine Varine:
    They are pretty much disposable. I have shitty nozzles though, and I don't think these were designed for how hot I've run them
  • Varine Varine:
    I tried to extract it but the thing is pretty stuck. Idk what else I can use this for
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll throw it into my scrap stuff box, I'm sure can be used for something
  • Varine Varine:
    I have spare parts for like, everything BUT that block lol. Oh well, I'll print this shit next week I guess. Hopefully it fits
  • Varine Varine:
    I see that, despite your insistence to the contrary, we are becoming a recipe website
  • Varine Varine:
    Which is unique I guess.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
