Xanadu Server

[MykieDoesStuff]

Hi!

Maybe this is a newbie question but... Does anyone know how I can the biome of an area? ie, how I can change the color of the dirt or how I can plant different trees (reed wood trees, forst trees...) on an area?

Thanks

You cannot change the biom itself, however to move some other part from the other biom such as different type of dirt to the specific biom you want, use crystal shovel. That way you can plant something that you cannot plant on the other biom. Red wood trees just need red baked clay to grow on. That's easy, just get a red clay and place it down on ground and plant the red wood tree sapling on it. Play around the environment and learn how they work ^^

Use a crystal shovel to dig dirt with the grass intact. (You can find the recipe for the crystal shovel in the crafting guide)
Trees will grow on the same type of grass where they normally grow. Cold grass for pine trees, jungle grass for jungle trees, etc. Redwood trees are a little bit of an exception in that they grow on red clay instead of on grass.

The new update on the furnace about the distance on active limit update thing you made is annoying

I would guess he is trying to reduce furnace caused lag. Lag is the bane of all servers and Xanadu has less lag because TenPlus1 works on issues like this.

A possible suggestion for both the furnace and farming issues: I would think we could reduce lag issues by cutting down the active range of these items, but then also add code so that the items store the game time they were last active, and the next time they become active, "catch up" to where they should be.

So, if you left a furnace for 30 minutes, it would turn off, but the next time you came close to it it would say, "Hmm, I've been inactive for 30 minutes, in that time I should have processed this much stuff...

[MykieDoesStuff]

Great idea but still, I made nothing very productive on the server today cause I'm not just going to stand next to a furnace 24/7 all day. Just have all furnaces to auto shut off after a time limit of players not being in a range of 300 ft from it would sound good... I'm just filing my complaint here on this specific issue, that's all.

[Krock]

I saw a mod which added a time furnace, which worked even when the chunk was unloaded.
Can't remember the link to it but it could be a nice addition.

[MykieDoesStuff]

This factory mod looks sweet: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9277

I could build a humongous structures will all the processing going around.... Or ill just make hundreds of furnace around the map .-. ....

Ok, i would ask a thing....i have protected building, but when i return play the building are disappear. And my question is: why this? And if have something wrong(I think that behind this there is a mod / admin) which rules i broke?
Had happened to me before as well, but I found that my pixel art in which I put a lot of effort disappearance ... it is not right...

(Sorry for my bad english)
Ah, my nick in game is TheGuinzo.

Your buildings were located on the spawn pathway on the water's edge and you were told by admin to remove it and did not, so admin removed it for you...

Can I just ask, Is there a warning system in-place, in-case of occurrences such as this one? Such if you build too close to spawn a number of times despite being warned otherwise: Would you receive a punishment?

Exploring in Xanadu tonight I ran into an enormous desert stone hollow dome that someone had lit up with torches:


Found a cute little hut by bruno1234 made out of leaves:


AND, finally got around to visiting the Space Station by Neon! AWESOME!




Neon has created each crew cabin in meticulous detail:


Here is my treehouse from the space station:

(I should have tried to load the land inbetween, this shot makes it look like the whole tree is floating in the sky like the spacestation, it's not, it's firmly anchored on the ground. :)

Also got a tour of Big3Force's new very detailed and enormous skyscraper in Capitol City, but forgot to take any screenshots. BUT, he's not done yet, so I'll take some later.

Xanadu Explorer #1

Portal into a new World
First stable teleportation portal working. President T. Anglesmithe pleased.


The Portal

Yesterday at around 0:30 am CET, the first courageous pioneers went through the new teleportation portal to discover a new world.
Builded according to ancient records that was found by Professor X. Thin in a "decorative dirt block", this first portal is now at the end of the spawn way (blue gate) and is fully operational. Thanks to the genious of Dr. T.Plus1 who researched a completely new technology: a thin white plate which can store geographical datas to transport travelers at any time. Further use of this new technology is already discussed. Maybe one day it could be possible to give it a rounded form and a NC Rainbow painting, so it can store more data and even music and pictures!

While the experts around the world are amazed, dozends of curious and brave adventurers arrive at the diamond portal to discover and colonize a new and fascinating world. Spoken with the words of one of those pioneers, R.Person, : "HEAVENNNN!!!!!" We can only guess what he discovered there. The ministry of environment and tourism will build more of these portals. The dawn of a new age of traveling?


Red Wood Bay in the new world at 16037,3,15503

[Kilarin]

That is TOTALLY awesome. The stargate looks great, and the teleport works fantastically. I assume that the teleport pads are not craftable?

While wandering around in the "new world" I ran into a crystal mountain!


I don't know how well it comes through in the screenshot, but the mountain had a lot of interesting "hollow" spots. The outside was almost like a gridwork and there were empty areas inside that appeared to all be lit up even though there were no obvious light sources.

Sounds interesting now.... I shall try to play this again however I'm not going to be very chatty compared to myself from the past weeks. Enjoy the game in silence.

I used to be quite silent on this server sometimes: It was normally because I wasn't silent at others....

[MykieDoesStuff]

Hello, my land that I claimed will be expanded to become a city with subways and a large airport. I'm looking for some players to help me build this thing a bit. If you're interesting let me know in a PM, comment below, or simply email me.

[Kilarin]

I know TenPlus1 is busy with lots of other stuff. But I would like to suggest this mod for consideration in Xanadu:
Shared Chest with Bag Support

This looks like an extremely useful mod. Great finding! +1

[TenPlus1]

we already have a working shared chest on server and bags tie in nicely with the inventory plus mod so I will not be adding any new mods for those functions...

Some more Xanadu Screenshots

Big3Force is building a very large and good looking office building:






Xanthin showed me this fascinating and beautiful bit of landscape:




And firegryph_ is making a really cool underwater city!:

[SmartDen]

Dear Admins,

why i got shout ban? It's because you suspect me to be 'hostile'? It's rudiculous and very frustrating :( I hope you will clarify this accident soon, so i can play again on your server.

Cheers

My son (Hawk) is building a GIANT giant mushroom:

For size reference, you can see some normal giant mushrooms scattered around our little island. They look quite tiny by comparison.


He has built the "Mushroom pore" underneath out of glowstones. I think it looks really cool, especially at night.




He tried to object to me taking screenshots because he isn't done yet, he is still planning on adding a balcony and more decorations inside. But I thought it was coming along nicely enough to deserve a few screenshots now. :)

- 3D Armor (Crystal armor with Speed/Jump boost, Winged Mese Boots let you jump high and float)
https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=4654

Are these boots a custom modification you made? I couldn't find them as part of the normal 3D Armor mod.

[TenPlus1]

Yes, the diamond boot speed enhancement, crystal boots speed & jump boost and mese boots are all I've added to Xanadu server only...

The City of Midville (unfinished) at (4950,4,0)

The City of Midville

Looking nice!

[miner65536]

Is it possible to increase the maximum range the server sends mapblocks or would this likely slow things down a bit too much?

Cheers,
Robb

[TenPlus1]

Exactly, we keep the send range to 1 to keep the server running smoothly although when things have been tweaked enough it may increase...

[MykieDoesStuff]

Found nyan cat :D 1 nyan cat and 9 rainbow blocks....

[Johnny Joy]

Are fireplace bricks concidered famible? I noticed that the dungeon master's attach will set famible objects on fire rather than do damage and I was hoping to protect parts of my mine using the fireplace block, since it would be set on fire rather than damaged.

Thanks.

[MykieDoesStuff]

I'm making an underground base what about you guys anything else?
