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...
-_-

Slowly

Nothing to report. I've been pelted by a lot of school work and life. 

Things won't be fun if I feel obligated to get stuff done rather than me doing it because I want to. A new structure in Ambrosia. Yay.

Day Five Update 26-11-11 Digging

 I've been doing a lot of mining and I found a huge system with an abandoned mine shaft.

Unfortunately, I died and lost all these goodies.

Day Three Update 23-11-11 No Diamonds?

This is the third day of work in my new world and I've found a total of ZERO diamonds! It is reasonable since I only went mining for about an hour so far, not even to the deep layers.

 I also haven't explored much, so I have not idea of the other areas around me. I finished my house and wheat farm.

 I have a temporary tree farm with eleven trees. I could plant more, but I don't need that many yet.

In other news, I created a test world to test my inventions for my adventure map. The biggest problem I face is creeper explosions. I'll need to add a layer of obsidian so the floor won't leave a hole. As long as a stone wall is shielding the redstone wiring, they'll be alright.
