Did you know that if you throw your pick away and pick it back up, all of the wear dissappears? (MP only)

Yep. Nothing annoys me more than when I accidentally let one wear out and break it. Which is weird, because I can easily just summon a new one.

Yeah, but then you have to dump the hoe*, the axe and the boat.

Hi all,

I'd never even heard of these forums, but we share a common bond - That Rev Chap, who sadly passed away last night

He was an incredibly popular guy on rllmuk (where I usually post), and a lot of us had followed his posts about Minecraft on his blog inverty.com. Some of us figured that his minecraft creations would be a nice lasting memorial to him (particularly as he'd done things like make a statue for his wife Patience), and were worried that with his sudden absence, they might fall into disrepair or even be destroyed

I found this forum after a bit of detective work on his blog, and I'm happy to find that he was at least as much loved and respected here, if not more so, than on rllmuk. So I'm sure his digital legacy is in good hands, and some of his more poignant works will be preserved by you guys.

Thos of us on rllmuk are still planning on recreating some of his works on the rllmuk server, though, so I'd like to ask a favour: if you can offer any help on how to export things from one server to another, or just show some of our guys around should they come visiting, please lend a hand in cataloguing anything that holds his memory

I can help with that, and in fact I've had an account registration (under the name DoctorGlyndwr) on rllmuk stuck in "validating" since 9:30 this morning. As soon as it comes into life I'll come over and help out.

Thanks a lot for that! Here's a link to the rllmuk Minecraft thread.

Ta. I can't post though, until an admin activates my account.

I just read this on his blog diary, though it was fitting:

That Rev Chap wrote:

You know how when you build something in Minecraft you can’t see it and then you jump down and turn around and look at your creation and it is either:

a) glorious!

or

b) a bit disappointing?

Today I built an angel.

*EDIT*

It might be taken as being a bit religious but I thought it nice.

I don't know if this is on the server or not. LINK

Yeah, that's in Beexworld, near the coast

Yes, it's very poignant, that.

Doctor Glyndwr · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 32619

Can a rllmuk user please PM an admin and ask them to activate my account? I've been waiting since 9:30. The "contact an admin" email address bounces.

Pistol · **Joined:** 14th Oct, 2010 **Posts:** 7

I've PM'd Joyrex-J9, he's an administrator so hopefuly he'll sort you out soon.

Pistol · **Joined:** 14th Oct, 2010 **Posts:** 7

...aaaand he's done the business for you

Hello, Pistol

Shame we're not all meeting in cheerier circumstances, but that's how it goes

Zardoz · **Posted:** Thu Oct 14, 2010 16:11

Yeah, hello there Pistol!

Pistol · **Joined:** 14th Oct, 2010 **Posts:** 7

Thanks guys.

I have to say, I tend to get comfortable in my little niche and forget that there is a wider internet out there. It warmed my heart to find somewhere else where Owen was so highly thought of.

More places than you know, Pistol. The newsgroup I knew Owen from back in 2000, alt.digitiser, is almost dead now but has an IRC channel (#digi on dal.net) still running. I had to break the news to them last night, and it hit them just as hard as it hit the rest of us.

MrPSB · **Posted:** Sat Oct 16, 2010 12:38

Hello chaps,

Completely inspired by the tales of wondrous things built by Owen, I've just picked this up and had a go on the single player which has now lost me half a day without me realising. I know I'm a terrible johnny come lately but would like to come and join in the fun, if you don't mind someone who's just managed to build his first stone pickaxe wandering around looking at stuff. Username is mrpsb.

Might have to wait till Monday. Admins are away. Welcome though. You can view the map in the time being.

What DavPaz said - all the admins are offline, and will be until Monday.

Something huge and ominous has appeared in the skies behind the Enterprise.

Is it Dimrill?

Stunning Craster. Fine work indeed.

Also, thanks to Craster and Cookie for helping me contain the raging forest fire that I stupidly sparked last night. Oops!

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Oct 19, 2010 9:33

That's pure awesome.

itsallwater · **Posted:** Tue Oct 19, 2010 9:36

Isn't it being scrapped in the new budget? I mean it's only just been finished and it's on its way out already.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

Heh. Fucking Tories, messing with my Minecraftings.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Oct 19, 2010 9:48

It would cost more to scrap it.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

It fucking would do, yes.

Or just lots of TNT.

kalmar · **Posted:** Tue Oct 19, 2010 9:55

MrPSB · **Posted:** Tue Oct 19, 2010 20:00

Hello peeps,

Do we have someone with the power to let me hop into beexworld now? Not nagging just wondered if my request had got lost over the page. Is there someone it would be best to PM?

Thankye kindly.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

Oops, sorry, missed it. I'll do it now.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

MrPSB · **Posted:** Tue Oct 19, 2010 20:09

Thankye kind sir, I'll come and say hello shortly!

And I'm finished. I can't see the whole screen ingame, so here's the map view

Very nice Cras. A real work of art. You might have to build a path over if you want people to visit though.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

Yeah, I know. I've been avoiding that.

itsallwater · **Posted:** Wed Oct 20, 2010 14:43

You could build a docks?

Also lots of time spent making Rapture:
