My initial thought upon watching the video was, "This is a really nifty thing!"

Thinking more about it, though, I realized that the possibility of losing my gear (if I can't retrieve it before it despawns) is what makes dying worth avoiding.  Changes dying from a speed bump into a setback.  And that element of risk helps keep the game more interesting for me.

I still think Player Graves is a nifty idea.
Just... in the end, not my preference.

Not dead...
This is generally a low-count active-population server.

As with many things in life, there are ups and downs of activity.
It's possible the holiday season has people distracted with other things like family, vacations, or whatever else.

Not dead, though.

Some blocks knocked out of the Enderman Grinder's entrance rail.  At the terminating end of the entrance rail.

I find things needing repair here about every 2nd or 3rd time I come.
Not even my build: I just want it to remain nice.

It's getting tiresome, finding that someone has broken pieces of it again and again.

If you break something that's not yours, could you please just put it back?

Looks like someone was just experimenting.
Maybe ask a mod to check it out to see who put it there, how long ago, and whether that person is still playing?

I like the ideas for stairs, dyeing wool, re-dyeing, and horse armor.

I like having end portals not craftable, but it wouldn't upset me if the community decides to have them craftable.

I have often wished that saddles were craftable in SP, but I have found that less of an issue for me in MP.  Plus, I wouldn't want to suddenly put Funky's shop out of business.  :(

I like the idea of giving the poisonous potato a reason for existing!  (poison potion)

..... Are Notch Apples completely gone from PC edition, or could we use a custom recipe to make them craftable?

Thanks Funky!  Awesome that you have contact with him and were able to do this.  :)

The glass shop in Old Spawn belongs to the Butts.
I haven't seen them on in a long time... but then, I took a break for 2-3 months myself, so that might not mean anything.

Announcements / FronkTech Witcherizer Open For Use!
June 01, 2017, 10:13:16 pm
[Fronk isn't really feeling the creative spark today, so he's asked me to write the announcement.]

Fellow ImgurCraftians, FronkTech Ltd. is pleased to announce the grand opening of our Northwest Quadrant Witcherizer!
Inconveniently located because witches do what they want, we are found at (-4541, -5048) in the Overworld.  Whether you prefer to arrive via land, sea, air, or Nether, we accommodate your travel strategy.  Directions through the Nether are provided below.

We are open to all, and the drops are free, with a couple slight provisions.
Please be sure to read the rules section.  We don't want to have to shut down the farm.

Firstly, lets look at what goodies you can nab here...

Goodies Witches Drop

     - Redstone Dust
     - Glowstone Dust
     - Gunpowder
     - Sugar
     - Spider Eyes
     - Glass Bottles
     - Sticks

Each is sorted into its own collection chest.
This is done partly for your convenience, and partly because building a sorter makes us feel pretty cool.
Plus, in case of unforseen weirdness (hey, Heisenberg wasn't wrong... -ooor was he...?), we have provided a chest for miscellaneous & overflow.  The overflow chest also feeds into a trash disposal, should you need one.  It's frightfully complicated.  There's a lever.

In addition to witch drops, we have provided the following harvestables:

     - Nether Wart (indoor nursery)
     - Wheat (indoor field)
     - Vines

We have also provided several additional amenities.

     - On/Off switch:  Please turn the farm off when not in use.
     - Crafting Station:  Crafting Table, Anvil, Brewing Stands (2), Infinite Water, Ender Chest.
     - Furnaces
     - Bed
     - Boat Entrance:  With holding chest.  Only take whatever boats you brought.
     - Nether Portal:  Horse friendly.  Our portal will not suffocate your horse, nor crack your skull when you dismount.
     - Horse Stalls:  Safe indoor stalls for your steed.

The farm and all the surrounding area are fully lit up to shut down hostile mob spawning anywhere but in the witches' spawn chambers.  Please leave the torches & other lighting intact, or hostile mobs will spawn and erode the production rate of the farm.  Fronk wants me to specifically say: "Less Light = Less Loot."  I guess we could call that the 4L rule?

Last thing before I list the rules of the farm:
Remember that hostile mob spawning (without block spawners) in a multiplayer world is not as cut & dry as it is in a singleplayer world.  Basically, they're like cats: they'll come when they want to, and not a moment before.  Sometimes it takes a while (even multiple minutes) before the witches start spawning.  Be patient.  If you are patient, they will come.  Another bit of pithy witticism from Fronk: "Patience = Profit."

Enjoy!


-----------------
  RULES
-----------------


1.  Keep Consumables Stocked
   - Bring fuel as needed for brewing stands & furnaces.
   - Replace the anvil if it breaks.
   - Replant the nether wart & wheat.

2.  Do not fiddle in the Maintenance areas
   - They are clearly marked with signs.
   - They are behind iron doors.
   - They are for FronkTech personnel only.

3.  Leave the trees be
   - If you must chop down trees, please replant every one.
   - Trees are friends, not food.

4.  Don't take someone else's loot
   - If someone is afk there, let it be.

5.  Don't hog the farm and afk there forever
   - It's not your private farm, it's there for everybody.


----------------------
  DIRECTIONS
----------------------


From the Nether Hub
Take the West Tunnel to (-1105, 30)
Turn North, go to (-1105, -635)
Turn East, into a glass-sided tunnel.  Go East until you find a portal.
Through that portal is the Witcherizer.


(A more direct & convenient tunnel connection is under consideration for a future project.)

Just dropped me.
Can't get it on the multiplayer servers menu.

Lad sad.

Wow.  I mean... -y'know... wow.   :o


Marten, I sure hope the life changes and rearrangementifications are positive ones.
Or if not, then I really hope any negatives ease up sooner rather than later.


Hope we'll still see you on every now & again.
Until then, vaya con queso!
