so i shouldn't start building my home base yet?

 

I would wait if you plan on building something insane. Explore.

 

yah. you can make gates to other worlds using the command line

 

i was just planning on building my home fort. drew and i scouted out the perfect place last night.

I tried to look it up, and it looks like there won't be another official release until MineCon next month.

 

I think MineCon is the launch of the retail version.

 

everything I've read on the forums say it's only going to be pre-releases until MineCon.

 

Well fuck. I think I will just start a new world tonight and get things going. I just really want to flush this world.
I went exploring last night with Ed, got killed and then lost finding my way back to him. The areas that were generating while I was lost were very messed up, and I think it has to do with those blocks that had to be deleted. There is a long section of sand/forest that looks like it was cut with a knife. It's terrible looking.

Today I made a script that will run and auto-backup the world every day. This will keep us from losing our work on the next world.
Most of the major land changes are already introduced in this pre-release. So if we keep our exploring down to a minimum until the new update comes out, we should be fine.

So lets set a rule that we don't do major exploring (I'm talking like over 1k blocks) until the next update.
I will wipe everything tonight and get rid of all the different config files from the different mods we've had installed over the past year. I will make sure the spawn point is in a grassy flat area, without SNOW or SAND. I will just keep wiping the world until I spawn in a good enough area. That way we can have a good idea of where we are and what's around us.

I will build a big sign of some sort that will show you what is NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, and WEST. This should help us from getting too lost and help us find our way back with ease. When I pull maps for this world, I will list N, S, E, W on them as well.

I am going to get on for at least 3-4 hours tonight and start the train station. Anyone else who wants to join me is welcome.
I want this world to be legit. Which means I will have to tame myself on TNT abuse... h:

In the train station, I will build a supply room. The supply room will have all the building tools and compasses we should ever need.

Drew is an amazing decorator, so I'm sure he will make everything look very nice.

 

so what am i gonna do at work today?

 

I will also place a Save room (hotel or something) somewhere in the train station, so you can sleep there and be sure you spawn there next time.

 

Get on, I will give you a fuck load of tnt. Go blow shit up.
