Ambrosia Update 11-01-12 Falling Sand

I started working on terraforming the Nether in Ambrosia. The plan with the sand is that I mcedit a large portion of a generated map and transfer it into this world as all dirt. The sand will fall down and then I'll edit all of the sand into dirt. It'll look like the same terrain generated in the overworld, somewhat.


Now that I think about it, the Nether bit of the map could be a little too lengthy. I'll see how things turn out.

I created new chunks and this happened. All of the chunks beyond those naturally formed has a light level of 15. Also any block I place has a light level of 15.


If anyone has a solution to this error, please tell me.

Map Making

I'm concentrating on Ambrosia right now, I don't really feel like playing my single player until something updates. Even if I build a city in my world, there would be no point to it if the game-play is like this. I can only hope that the new A.I. person in Mojang gives us something awesome. In the meantime, map making away!

War in Haven (Multiplayer Map)

What I've been working on the past two days is a multiplayer, team-based map.

This is just a fun side project. I was thinking "why has no one thought up with this yet?" So, here it is.


Here's a forum post telling more about it.

Trucking Along

The reason for my slow progress in my single player is because I'm waiting on some new content. I really want new content, the game is getting old if you play it over and over.


In the meantime, I've made some real progress with Ambrosia. Look.

Day Eight Update 10-12-11

After a few days of working on Ambrosia, I've got a lot done with the map. However, it is far from being released.

 Two spawners next to each other... I smell an experience farm...

 Done. I'm thinking of killing them using a piston, but it'll be inefficient because they fall and take damage. The spawners spawns spiders within a 8x8x3 box with the spawner being on the south-west of the center. I dug the ground out and placed streams of water to lead them towards this point. I was having trouble because they didn't seem to be collecting correctly. I solved this by smoothing out the walls. 

Other than that, the past few days I've been strip mining. I came across two abandoned mine shafts; weird that I haven't found a decent sized cave system yet. I gained a half stack of iron blocks today.


To remind everyone, the "day" in the title is the amount of days I've spent on the world. I've only clocked in three days since I've been working on Ambrosia. I'll be updating the statistic page soon. 

Ambrosia's Lighting System

I had the time to check on the lighting system today...


What I found was disturbing. It's not operating correctly. I was working the last time I tested it, now the glowstone acts just like glass. No redstone signal passes through the glowstone when the repeated is active. I don't know if this is a change that came in 1.0 or a glitch. Whatever the case, if this doesn't get fixed, the map will be delayed.


EDIT:

Solved. Now, I need to replace all of the lights with this...
-_-
