I've finished my base, And so it's time to reset the Server. One of the things i did was to make a "tomb" for myself. (more in comments) [Build]

This is not my server, just the one I play on. It's been almost exactly 2 years since I started, but there's no more I could add beyond flowers and shrubs. Before the map gets reset, I put my gear off of my person so there's no chance that when the world download happens, I'll accidentally log on with our server admins gear (he forgot to reset the player files one time). Since I do this I took to "hiding" my stuff and sort of challenging the other members to find it. This time, I finally went through with what I've been meaning to do for a while now: A good old fashioned treasure hunt! I hid 9 clues far and wide around our map, often in meaningful places, but a few are just placed for the adventure of it. Each clue leads to the next and tests your knowledge of the map and fellow players through fun little rhyming riddles. If you can decipher all 9, you'll learn the location of my stash (tomb) and take it for your own use if you chose to use this map in single player- And I have FULLY enchanted, trimmed, named Netherite gear, with duplicates for both Silk touch AND Fortune 3, plus fully enchanted secondary gear. basically, if it's a tool, and I can enchant it, it's been enchanted. I also have a mobile base kit, shulkers dedicated to bone blocks, torches, and ender pearls, an ammunition shulker, a rocket shulker, a food shulker, 12 mass mining and transportation shulkers and 4 "junk" crates for the rando stuff one tends to acquire as one plays like hostile mob drops, seeds, and other general flotsam. This stuff is professional level gear, optimised to handle most anything the game could throw at you.

Merged multiple worlds into one

So I have run a minecraft server for so long, but in that time we also started multiple spawns, and additional worlds. Pretty much no one plays on the server anymore and most of the worlds fell into archive status, so I got the idea, I never want to lose anybodies work and I like to personally just stroll around the world and find stuff someone built.

I decided to try and merge all the worlds together into one big super world. I used MCA selector to filter all the chunks that had more than a certain amount of play time and purge the rest, then afterward I copied all those chunks onto the biggest world, trying to find a decent spot on the map for them to go.

The world is still a bit of a mess but I hope that this gives me a nice base line to just continue to play it at my own pace and clean it up in game.

My plan is to go through the various spawn points and just work out and clean up the paths from place to place and peoples builds that didnt come back.

I also deleted everyones inventory, which is kind of sucky but at the same time I think if anyone does ever come back having a partial fresh start makes the game fun again. A big reason for this was players played on multiple worlds so I didn't have a good way to pick and choose which inventory to keep for the hundreds of players over the years.

Having one world instead of like 5 makes it much easier to keep up with, updating the plugins etc. also the backups are much nicer, instead of 70gb servers now its less than 15 after the purge. all the original servers were kept the way they were but taken offline.

One of the last builds I'm doing this map! A base welcome center and function hall! [Java 1.21.10][Builds]

Hello again! Another Build from the A Sharp Miner server! I was tempted to post the entire build progress, but since that's like a dozen images, I thought that might be a bit much. This is not 100% complete, as the interior is still in progress and I may still tweak the outside a bit, but it's "thumbnail" ready as far as I'm concerned.

I can post interiors later if you guys want. :) [edit] You guys asked for it!

The entrance as viewed from my base's south gate (the primary one)

The first floor is a lounge area, with various amenities for visitors. This is still in 1.21.10 so not having cushions is...painful, NGL.

I understand server etiquette!

It's Unisex. Whatever. Just wash your hands after!

Casual discussions, hang-outs, chill vibes. You get the idea.

SNACKS. You best believe it's stocked!! Cookies, pies, wattah mellone, lava chicken, all the good stuff!

An overview of my base. Yes, those are actual, functional farms.

No Welcome Center worth its salt is complete without an Info Kiosk. Here's mine. Has a list of farms and amenities at my base, some simple rules which amount to "Don't touch my shit if it's in my actual house, and my (specific) Horses are off limits, but otherwise 'Mi casa, su casa,'" and a little blurb about what inspired me to build this way. It also lists the other farms I built for the server.

On Floor 2 we have a meeting room/banquet hall not much to say here. Has some nice art, and I used ascii art to get the hardware on the buffet tables.

Floor 3 is the Auditorium and Public address space. Perfect for more important gatherings, open mic nights, or concerts. The shaders I use don't really work well with banner gradients, but the lighting was too good to pass up. The server uses the microblocks from wandering trader mod, so I was able to get this chunk of polished deepslate to make a rather believable microphone!

I kept the upper floor a bit minimalistic because I figure that it would best facilitate large gatherings by not having clutter everywhere.

GUYS!!! I GOT IT UP AND RUNNING!!!

So a few days ago, I posted a message asking if this was even possible. I got Minecraft up and running on my Retroid Pocket Flip 2 without any microsoft account.

I only play single player, but maybe there is an unofficial server one of you host, that I could play on? I've never played Java edition before, so I never played online.

I'm also getting used to minor differences between Java and Bedrock. Like crafting items is so different. It's very akward with a controller. Took me a day or so to figure things out.

Also, are there SUPPOSED to be this many enemies when you first start? I was building my little survival dirt hut, and then when night time came, I counted 14 creepers. My hut kept getting blown up. I had no time to rebuild, because creepers survive the day, and for some reason were very glitchy at first. They were staying still until they saw me, then they'd fly at me like an enderman, only to instantly explode. No Hssss. Just instant bombing. 14 times in one day cycle.

I've got a bunch of torches around my house now. And I built a creeper disposal system. Shame they don't drop gun powder if they fall. Oddly enough, zombies still drop rotten flesh if they fall.

Still waiting on skelitons to fall into my trap.

Now I just gotta figure out an enderman disposal system, and a spider disposal system.

Also, the game says I've been here for 25 game days. I've yet to see a single animal besides octopuss. Is that normal?

Horse Track Grandstand! (that's my skin BTW :) ) [Build]

Hi again! Since my last two posts have been well received, I figured I share some more stuff! A few months back I decided to try breeding the BEST horse. I prefer Sable horses, because that was the first one I ever tamed on an old SMP I was on before this one. I got that horse, but once I did, I elected to build a track for Riding and racing at my base. This track has directional arrows, fencing, and a start stop line. It generally runs around the perimeter of my base. What it needed, and I finally got around to adding, was the grandstand for spectators. This area also doubles as an observation platform and lounge for anybody who wants to drop buy and have a fishing party. 😄 As you can see, it offers a full concessions area with cozy and comfortable seating on the second level. (And I'm a little miffed I'm still in the 1.21.x version, because those wool stairs would slap hard for the awning. Oh well...)

How to get minecraft running on my device without a microsoft account

Ok, so I just want minecraft java edition running on my Retroid Pocket Flip 2. Which from a hardware perspective is identical in everyway to the Retroid Pocket 5.

I can use Game Native to get PC games running.

My device also came with PovavLauncher. I don't know what it does, but it's minecraft related. Although it appears to be an android app.

Does anyone know where I should look for a guide?

How to find technical modpack to play?

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/62472035

I want to get back to modded Minecraft, but I am lost on where to begin. Would love tips on how to find a fitting modpack!

I would love something like GregTech for multiblock stuffs and complexity, or Immersive Engineering for the interactivity and multiblocks.

I considered GregTech New Horizons, but it looks too difficult at a glance, especially with the infernal mobs. I want a casual play through with some complexity added in. Would be great if you could recommend a modpack, or give tips on choosing the right modpack!

Any Tips on downscaling a Mob Texture?

So ive been basically looking for some Custom Mob Textures to use on my 1.12.2 MC Server running Forge :P

Saldy the Mob Skin even tho there is a 1.12 Download apparently is just a 128x128 Texture cuaisng the Sheep ingame to be completely messed up :(
https://www.planetminecraft.com/mob-skin/cult-of-the-lamb-5970871/

So ive decided to take a Crack at it and fix it myself via downscaling and stichting it together for 1.12 myself but sadly with no luck as just the fact alone that the Original SHeep SKin is smaller and Split into Two causes the Downscaling ARtificats to be beyond Good Looking :(

Does anyone by Chance have Tips on how to fix those tho as i tried a bunch of downscaling alorithmns with no Real CHance of fixing it and im not good at spriting honestly so i coudlnt resprite it also :(

A cozy cottage On the waterfront of my base (more in comments, I hope) Ver. JAVA 1.21.10

My base is quite sprawling, and I've been working on it for about 2 years now. This is a guest house near my docks. I use Vanilla Plus Shaders, and Fabulously Optimized. Pic one is the basement crafting and utility area, pic 2 is the main floor, pic 3 is the back garden, pic 4 is another garden area, across the street between my wax and iron farms, and the last one is the Upstairs.

I document my adventures on my Server's Discord, so I take lots of pictures. Here's a recent one:

Up front: not my server, don't have the seed, sorry.

The quest is to find a stoney peaks or windswept hills cause I'd like some emerald deepslate ore, and since our server uses a Dynmap (a program that outputs the current world map to your web browser) I wanted to "fill in" the south east portion of our world as it was little explored (while the world border on our server is set to 50K, every one kind of agrees not to go out farther than 8-12k to keep the world sizes manageable for when we switch worlds and post a download)

I use Fabulously Optimised, and Vanilla Plus Shaders. Set up is a Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU with an Intel Arc A770 GPU

edit, sorry I'm new and fail at formating
