Been playing around with a simple spawn area to replace the pole on the hill in my test world, what do you guys think?

Go for it. I'll help terraforming if you want.

Please read over the original post. There are limited slots available. Hang around and talk to people on Neowin some before asking first. :)

Precisely - we're a bit wary of whitelisting one post wonders. No offence.

 

On topic: The map size has been increased further to 1700 x 1700 blocks.

Frank someone just griefed the woods that were between our places...

 

Edit: Never mind... had grass spawn too close to the pit

Edited by Matthew S.

Sorry to whomever was building in the trees in-between mine and Franks plots, I burned down the trees to space out the planting (and move my fence a bit) and realize as the last of the leafs were burning that there was a crafting table in the tree...

The Map is broken

 

The online map? Seems to be working for me. It hasn't been updated since it was first made over a week ago, so due for a refresh. I'll catch up with Lou and sort that out.

Is there any good way to find a slime chunk? I see them once in awhile in my mindshafts but cant for the life of me find a spawn area.

 

You need the world seed to find a slime chunk. I have made a slime farm in my base though. If you need some slime balls/blocks just let me know and I can drop them off somewhere for you.

What do you use slime for?

 

Maps seems to be working, i think its a work issue lol

 

Slime can be used for Sticky Pistons or for making the Slime block to stick blocks together or bounce on.

Thanks. Google indicated as much, but I didn't know if there was a more kosher way of finding one. Is that something that would be easy for an admin to help me find (rather than provide the seed)? I found some online tools and even an app that tells you a location if you have the seed. I would love some slimeballs until I can find my own chunk though. I want to make some slime blocks and more sticky pistons.

 

I placed a chest next to my cow and sheep pens at 307,68,509. Alternatively I can find you next time we're both online. Thanks

Yes, the admins can use the world seed to find slime chunks using those tools and then tell you which one is closest to your base. Louisifer did that for me, which is how I found out where to build my slime farm.

 

Alternatively, if you're finding slimes in your caves, you know that there is a slime chunk around there, you could try hollowing out an area around where you find them to see if you get more. Would take a while, but it would probably work in the end.

 

I must admit that slimes seem to spawn a lot less frequently in 1.8. I haven't collected as many slime balls as I would have expected. However I'm not near my base all that much, so I think ideally we want to build a slime farm near spawn so it is running more frequently.

I could use some slime balls :)  Just take a pick on one of the outer chests on the 3rd floor of my tower

 

Delivered, I put them in the chest closest to the crafting bench.

I put some in the chest for you.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off by Ivan Jenic The Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system is currently $239.99 on Amazon for the 2-pack, down from $329.99. That's 27% off and $90 saved for a solid Wi-Fi solution that covers your entire home (purchase link down below). The 2-pack covers up to 4,000 square feet (372 square meters) and supports 100+ connected devices, which handles the vast majority of home setups without breaking a sweat. Wi-Fi 6E brings access to the 6 GHz band for lower latency across the network, and the 2.5 Gb Ethernet port supports gigabit+ internet plans if your ISP offers them. eero's TrueMesh technology handles traffic routing automatically, so you're not manually managing which devices connect to which node. You set up the entire thing through the eero app, and the entire process takes a few minutes. The system also receives automatic security updates in the background, so once you set it up, you don't have to worry about compatibility issues. If you're covering a larger home or want more nodes, the 3-pack is $329.99 and the 4-pack is $479.98, both at similar discount levels. It's worth mentioning that a newer model exists, which is likely the reason for the discount, but the Pro 6E is still perfectly capable hardware for most homes.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
