From my many SMP and SP experiments with trapping, I have settled on a hybrid water channel drop trap of extreme simplicity, extensibility and efficiency. No signs required - just a decent number of fences for the kill zone. I can post some diagrams for other trap experts to comment on, perhaps?

Yep, will do.

Post up your account names and I'll put them into place at 8pm tonight.

p.s. I like simple designs, I say the best thing we can do is figure out where the trap will be, and if were gonna do it to bedrock, we all dig there since its a lot of dirt to move, unless we cheat with tnt spawn hehe

[Cowboy]

Updated the renderer itself but it still doesn't seem to have picked up the spawn properly.

Looks a bit nicer though and you can now search by signs!

[Cowboy]

Actually after deleting my player profile and logging in again.. that is the spawn :/

Up in the highlands.

Basically lots of layers of this:



With at least a 25 drop at both edges. Width can be extended by adding another tray to either side, doubling output. Length can be extended in the obvious way. Drop kill zone consists of water over fences, leading to lava grinders to clear up stragglers. Gap between layers is 2 to avoid endermen. Output can become ridiculous.

Whitelist for "zeocen" for me and "Midora" for mah fiancee. Danke!

Sitting here listening to boring trials wishing work would go faster! Bring on 8pm :D!

[A Corpse]

I used a design twice that width with water leading inwards to two central drop channels for my keep trap.

[mpx]

So how are we gonna do this when we enter? Will we wait for Seldom to put the base around the ground so we know where the centre of our town will be or what?

Also are we still staying within the boundaries of our main city area since 1.9 will need new chunks again?

Yeah, I built a double wide one like this:



With about 20 layers and 20 channels, it was producing more than I could pick up and sort into chests. Somewhat excessive, and probably bad for a SMP server?

simblor_pxpx to whitelist thanks

[A Corpse]

Honkylist A_Corpse plox.

edit: Similar yes but each channel set was in a separate room and 2-wide side pad for spawning on.

[Rince]

ubu and I jumped into single player games....

I used a seed of "Rincey" and had to run for about 1/2 a day to find trees
Got a hidey hole built just in time - used wood for charcoal, and waited out my first night....

ubu wasn't so lucky - he ran smack straight into an enderman - so we decided to see what it would do: watched it out of the corner of his eye for a bit (saw it stacking blocks around)... then we put our crosshair on it... it got interested in us, and then when our crosshair slipped off him, *pow* it was on ubu, and fucked him up in about 3 seconds .... wheeee!

Haha, are they hard to kill?

[Rince]

ubu only got a couple of hits on them and then he was dead..... they hit hard (he had no armour, of course)

Needs a sign: "stand in GLORY hole for great reward", just like the last one

[Juju]

JeevesNZ to whitelist please

Im a total noob so ill probably die a few times...

[Cowboy]

I think we're all going to be dying lots since we'll all have nothing again :P

So is everyone still happy with 8pm start?

[Kryten]

It's been interesting seeing what different seeds are coming up with - I'm currently single playing with this one - 7127301870674444225 and it's awesome.

PS StudsRamrod pls.

[Waldo]

just playing on my other server, digging away happily mining, run into MASSive cavern....ohh shit, forgot about making a weapon...BOOM !!!

ohh look at all the pretty green bubbles.

[mpx]

Endermen do hit hard if I recall correctly, and often when you take a swing they've teleported behind you. But they are really weak, same as a zombie so you can easily kill them if you haven't looked at them yet. Or you can just go up to them and pour a bucket of water down on them.

I loaded up 1.8 this morning before work and had a play in Creative mode and found the most impressive cave system to date! It had massive, huge rooms full of lava and water (and diamond!) and little ravines trailing off.. it was amazing.

best make a open/close pit into lava at the bottom, for when not in use.

[A Corpse]

Green bubbles?

[FireStorm]

Please add Holmium to the white list.

I also have read on the forums that the endermen are screwing up mob traps. Essentially the movement of blocks is killing the water flows and causing all sorts of problems. Apparently one dude said 2 minutes of endermen causing havoc took him MUCH longer repair, so something to be aware of.

Monsters drop green bubbles (and so do you when you die), it's the XP points that are currently useless. (But for some reason I still have to go pick them up anyway)

as long as they dont spawn inside it should be fine, just have a big ass moat around the trap will stop em

Same thing happened to me using 1.8 pre-release (Seed: 1682061598324584670) except it took me about 30 min to find a tree. Nothing but a large ocean with a few naked islands here and there. When I finally found the one single tree I got four blocks of wood and one sapling. Tough map.

Also: please be adding verve_rat to the list of white. Thanks Cowboy.

Disconnected by Server
You are not white-listed on this server!

Or has it just not been populated yet, to stop people starting early? I only wanted to make sure I could log in.

[A Corpse]

First map I made with my kids names spawned me on a barren island in the middle of nothing but water. FU.

Second with a + instead of an "and" between their names was better, but it spawned me ON an 8-high tree. Welp, at least I have wood.
