Xanadu Server

[PerrySteven]

Perry,

you can craft a node inspector (with one glass and one steel ingot: see the craft guide for the position...).

Then you could place the item somewhere, point it with the node inspector in hand and click the left button of your mouse. If item cannot be placed you can just drop it to the floor with "Q" key and point the node inspector to the node where the item fell.

When you click, the item string code will appear at the bottom of the screen, in the left side near the HUD. It will remain there untill you use the node inspector again or leave the game.

Also the client program itself shows the item string code for nodes you are pointing each time. Well, at least the last stable version for Ubuntu does (Minetest 4.11).

I hope these instructions are helpful to you.

Yes! Thank you very much! That really helped a lot. Now I can make a functional barter shop.

Old memories :D

I just found a super old screenshot from my first day on Xanadu (19th may 2014).

the palmwood fence is missing

[TenPlus1]

Wooden fences and gates were changed in Ethereal mod a while back so this could be one of the older fence nodes that was removed... I will go there today and replace them with new palm fence :)

[twoelk]

thanks to some help with protection issues I can now continue with my little shroomcountry project, like finish the building in the background ;-)

[Xanthin]

Somewhere ...



... you will find the hottest adventure.





Teleportation Portal conjured by TenPlus1
Hells Bells rung by Skrote

[Kilarin]

Aha, so it's OPEN!
Now the race is on to find the portal!

[Skrote]

Still have tons to protect though....

[Kilarin]

I've been working on a treehouse in Xanadu for quite a while now. It's about 580 nodes tall, so I thought perhaps it was far enough along to post some screen prints. :)


This is the treehouse from a distance. You will notice that there are floating islands at intervals all the way up. At the very top you can see sky city. Sky City is still very much underconstruction. The Zepplin (The Queen of Steam) is being built by Xanthin, the Millenium Falcon by Neon, and the tower of ice by XxRaizelxX. The Hot Air Balloon (The Politician) is mine. There are other buildings by other players, but you can't make them out very well from this distance.



To get to the treehouse, go down the yellow path from spawn. There is a communal garden by the huge "Public Forest" sign. Behind the communal garden is the well marked "secret passage" that leads to the treehouse. Go down the ladder and follow the tunnel to Kilarin's Treehouse! The treehouse coords are: (1110, 2, -443)



And this is the base of the treehouse. The giant giant mushroom is by my son (Hawk). You can make out a little bit of Big3Force's Capitol City in the background. The treehouse doesn't look very impressive from here, but it goes up a LONG way. open the spoiler tags to see more.

(Oh, go on, go ahead and click, you know you want to see the pics!)

+ Spoiler

This is the entrance, go inside...



And go up the ladder to see more!



The very first level is my work and storage areas. Then the next level up is my garden and orchard.



Yes, it's a bit oversized. I must have starved a dozen times when I was first trying to figure out how to get started in Xanadu. So I've kinda overcompensated... :)



On the way up the rope/ladder at each place where you see glowstone in the passage there is an exit to a floating biome. I've tried to reproduce most of the biomes in Xanadu. The first is the frost biome. And yes, it WILL spawn spiders. That's why it has a nice gate. :)




Pine Biome




Jungle Biome





I think the Willow Biome is one of the prettiest.




Mushroom Biome

Click to see MORE biomes

+ Spoiler

Bamboo Biome





Banana Biome (with an undersea biome as well)




The Fire Biome is another one that I think looks pretty good.


It's hollow


And there is a lava fountain/fall inside.


Lava Biome at night.



Prairie Biome



Desert Biome



The Redwood Biome is really large.






The limbs are all connected at the top in a kind of maze. You can walk from one tree to another, and getting to some of the high platforms requires discovering some hidden passages. But it's high enough to do fatal damage if you fall. The Redwood Biome has been expanded recently to connect to cloud forest where several people are building houses.



Coconut Biome



And for the Healing tree biome, we had to have a mountain, of course. So I slipped a lot of biomes around the mountain.

You will note that that dry dirt path leads to a passage into the heart of the mountain.

The inside of the mountain is a series of tunnels and caves.

With some pretty sights, but its easy to get lost in there!

That is already a HUGE number of pictures for one post, so I'm going to give sky city it's own post.

[Kilarin]

Sky City at the top of Kilarin's Tree House in Xanadu!


This is what sky city looked like before it was very developed. The floor is framed obsidian glass which automatically joins so that it looks like you are walking on air. Since the floor is about 572 nodes up, and you can't see anything under your feet, new players are often afraid to step out onto it. :) It's pretty empty in this pic.


But other players have kindly offered to build in sky city for me. Sky City is still very much underconstruction. The Zepplin (The Queen of Steam) is being built by Xanthin, the Millenium Falcon by Neon, and the tower of ice by XxRaizelxX. The Hot Air Balloon (The Politician) is mine. There is a very nice decorative glass house by amberdoesmt that you can't quite make out in these shots, its hidden behind the big blue tower of ice.


The green glass house is by Khyle. It's roof makes a great viewing spot for the hot air balloon. The glass tower next to Khyle's green house is by me. It's not very impressive, but it DOES have a diving board that will drop you 580 nodes safely into water! :)


And this is a shot of Sky City at night.

If you happen to have some free time, come by and visit us at the treehouse!

[firefox]

although it is not as impressive as kilarin's tree house and will probably not be noticed under that huge post, i can't wait any longer to publish this ...
so here it is:

The Invitation to the Burning Lands!
i invite you to visit my home biome, the Burning Lands.
for now it has the following attractions:
- the Holy Tree Shrine (my first building)
- the Obsidian Tower (my second building, since i made a new house under the Holy Tree Shrine, the Obsidian Tower is now a shop where you can buy various stuf from the Burning Lands. Currently it only sells obsidian bricks.)
- the Magma Mine (a public mine wich is illuminated by rivers of magma.)
- the Floating Gardens (small platforms in the sky that hosts trees and some flowers. it is only partially protected, so you can harvest if you wish. remember to replant saplings.)
- an Open Trade Chest (take what you need and give something else. please follow the rule of Equivalent Exchange.)

to reach the Burning Lands, go to the green spawn point and use the Iron Star Gate behind the tree farm.
then follow the Green Lane (behind the sign wall). at the first crossroad turn right into Mese Street, then turn left into Amber Lane and walk it all the way to the end.
there you will find a railway and a sign "Path to the Burning Lands".
the railway is made with powered rails, so you can ride all the way without interuption.
it leads a long way over the ocean to the shores of the Burning Lands.

only the street and my buildings are protected, fell free to build whereever you like.
there is just one rule: Do not harm the Lava!

come and forge this land with your burning soul!

(my playername is Red_Fox)

plans for the future:
- more shops (red wool, red wood, fiery moss, everything that is red)
- hot springs with palm trees
...

[Kilarin]

Oh wow, that looks really cool firefox! I will definitely be by to explore!

[Skrote]

Prots are in, most details are done. Come play in the cozy warm lava until you die!

Amazing work Skrote :) thanks dude...

[Kilarin]

AWESOME! Now we just have to FIND it...

[TenPlus1]

Their is a clue to it's whereabouts, good luck on the search :)

[Skrote]

Server has been down a long time today. Way longer than usual. Maybe new mod problems? Hope everything is ok =)

[Skrote]

...well not really that long, I make it sound like hours, lol. maybe 30 minutes so far, which has just not been the norm.

[pepprim]

I neither can't log in right now. And it's not appearing in public server's list...

[horse_lover]

Yeah same with me I don't seem to be able to get in and I've been trying for the past half hour. Hope everythings okay.

[TenPlus1]

The map is huge and a backup was underway after all of the recent updates... It should have been back online before 11pm BST...

[JuanLan]

Yo soy de mexico pero si el administrador e :Xathin

[Kilarin]

I FOUND IT!!!


Skrote has worked long and hard building up this realm. It's REALLY impressive. He's done some incredible things I never would have thought possible. Everything looks... otherworldly. You REALLY should find that hidden portal and do some exploring!

A few notes to help my fellow searchers:

1: Pay no attention to WHERE the sign with the hint is.
2: There is a small building that seems to match up with the clues, that is NOT the right place. The place you are looking for is large and grand, and somewhere else. :)
3: When you finally take that fall, LOOK FOR A LANDING PLACE, because it is NOT safe to hit the bottom!
4: As you can tell from the screenshot, you will need crystal armor to get through that portal.
5: Once you get on the other side, take your time and enjoy, because it is quite an experience, well worth the time taken to find the portal!

Did the gray food icons get removed? It used to show 10 icons, either yellow or gray. Now all I see is the yellow icons.

[TenPlus1]

I tidied up the HUD code to remove the grey food/health/armor items speed up hud refresh... also a few new tweaks for ambiance and playerplus...

[Kilarin]

NEVER NEVER post at midnight. <sigh> My apologies folks, I was half asleep, did not even realize I had debug on.

[firefox]

while exploring i found an unbeliveable huge crystal biome.
it had the triple size of crystal biomes i've seen so far.
and guess what, it was full of crystal spikes. (yay)

i like the sight of crystals at night.
now i have 300+ crystal spikes.

i also found this:

is this a TNT biome? o.o

[TenPlus1]

looks like a tectonic plate fall :P

[auouymous]

I tidied up the HUD code to remove the grey food/health/armor items speed up hud refresh... also a few new tweaks for ambiance and playerplus...

The health and food bars really need those gray icons so you can tell when they are not full without having to count the colored icons. Not showing them for armor is fine since its not something that is usually kept full.
