PPCG Minecraft Server

epicTCK

22:02

that is the PPCG seed

Helka Homba

How about I plan to reset the world 3 hours from now, assuming no major objections. Is that time ok for everyone?

TheNumberOne

Sure. You should probably notify people in the 19th byte.

El'endia Starman

Sounds great! I eagerly anticipate it... :D

Aqua Tart

oh boy

Helka Homba

Unless anyone has major objections, the PPCG Minecraft Server will be updated to version 1.9 and completely reset approximately 3 hours from now (at 1am, March 1, 2016, UTC). The old world data will be available to download for local use. If you have objections, tell me now!

8

Aqua Tart

22:09

Probably the only objection really would be that the computer will be destroyed, but we didn't get close to finishing that anyways

Helka Homba

no :P

Aqua Tart

We should have set our sights lower.

Two-counter additive machine?

I have never played 1.9, so I'm excited to see what the shields are like

Helka Homba

Meanwhile I'll take suggestions for a meaningful seed (meaningful to ppcg or programming, not a seed that has 20 diamonds at the spawn or something)

Aqua Tart

I'd like to see spawn be in a cool biome

Helka Homba

I liked Hello, New World!

epicTCK

22:11

Good.

^^ is "Hello, World!"

Where can I find specs for chat markdown?

PhiNotPi

@HelkaHomba Sorry for taking so long to respond, I've been busy all day.

TheNumberOne

@epicTCK chat.stackexchange.com/faq#formatting

orlp

HELLO MY PEEPS

PhiNotPi

I think a server restart would be okay. It's the cycle of life.

epicTCK

use chunkbase.com/apps to check out seeds and how good they are

Sam

22:17

I recommend mineatlas.com for looking for seeds

i have personally used both chunkbase and mineatlas

chunk base is good for finding exact biomes but i find that mineatlas looks better

Aqua Tart

@orlp HELLO YOUR PEEPS

Sam

also you can select to see different structures on the biomes

PhiNotPi

Now that we've already had one server, we can plan a lot more about how we are going to lay out the second one.

Aqua Tart

I have a couple ideas.

TheNumberOne

Golf Script

Easterly Irk

22:19

@HelkaHomba How about a mod diamond?

Aqua Tart

But I'll need to see what the terrain looks like first.

PhiNotPi

Have the seed be a program.

TheNumberOne

has a mesa ~ 5000 blocks away

orlp

can someone

Easterly Irk

I like mesas

orlp

22:20

add me to minecraft whitelist

Aqua Tart

@orlp no

@orlp yes

TheNumberOne

and a mushroom island ~ 1000 blocks away

Easterly Irk

@orlp eat pie yes

Aqua Tart

@HelkaHomba

Easterly Irk

@HelkaHomba talk to the @orlp

orlp

22:20

/me eats pie

Sam

mineatlas.com/… this is a good example of what mineatlas can do

Easterly Irk

@orlp thanks

epicTCK

Hello, New World! has a village and horses

Easterly Irk

FOR NOTHING YOU ATE MY BELOVED PIE HOW COULD YOU

PhiNotPi

mushroom only 1000 blocks away? That's pretty great IMHO.

Easterly Irk

22:20

@epicTCK horses aren't seed-dependent.

orlp

MUSHROOM?

Easterly Irk

@PhiNotPi yeah

orlp

I HATE MUSHROOMS

Easterly Irk

@orlp YEAH

@orlp I DON"T

orlp

I WILL FIND EVERY MUSHROOM BIOME AND SLAUGHTER ALL COWS

Easterly Irk

22:21

MOOSHROOMS ACTAULLY

orlp

AND YOU'LL HAVE TO WALK HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BLOCKS MUAHHAHA

epicTCK

I gtg for the day... :(

i really want to see the new world though

TheNumberOne

... and an ice spikes plains about 3500 blocks away

Helka Homba

@orlp added orlp

@orlp but not for long with that attitude ;)

orlp

@HelkaHomba why not? I just have a feud with mooshrooms

they killed my parents

raped my sister

Easterly Irk

22:22

woah dude

orlp

yeah they're pretty messed up

TheNumberOne

Are you sure it wasn't just regular cows wearing mushrooms?

Easterly Irk

'Nobody outgolfs dennis' is a pretty nice one.

orlp

@TheNumberOne good point

I guess I can't be sure enough

I should kill ALL cows

Easterly Irk

lol

wait, shouldn't that mean that you don't kill any cows?

Becuase it's not like you can shear the mushrooms off.

PhiNotPi

22:25

I'm going to lose a lot of sleep tonight with this reset thing.

Sam

seed.new() is directly next to a mushroom biome

Easterly Irk

Now like I'm campaigning or anything, but 'Easterly Irk♦' is a nice seed....

orlp

holy crap

the new enchantment

'mending'

opieop

Aqua Tart

Look for something that spawns in a relatively flat area at 65-80 elevation.

I have a really really good idea for our new spawn

PhiNotPi

I would also prefer spawn to be a relatively large, flat area.

Aqua Tart

22:28

We're going to make an artifical plateau with spawn inside it branching out underground

Easterly Irk

okay?

Sam

try 233219516310958

TheNumberOne

"programming puzzles & code golf" is a pretty good seed except for lack of jungles.

PhiNotPi

I heard the word "plateau" and I'm sold.

2

Sam

this is flat

Easterly Irk

22:29

That actually sound pretty cool.

Aqua Tart

you know it

It'll be awsum

TheNumberOne

A savanna would be cool to spawn in.

With a Savanna M nearby

PhiNotPi

-011152403015397 is kinda interesting: tons of tiny islands

Aqua Tart

I have to go, but if you find such a seed in a cool biome let me and Helka know

Easterly Irk

Well, 'PPCG not CR!' spawns in the middle of an ocean. @Mojang ಠ_ಠ

@AquaTart kay

orlp

22:31

is there a seed explorer?

Easterly Irk

@AquaTart don't go!!

mineatlas.com/…

Aqua Tart

@TheNumberOne but savannahs are usually at really low elevations :(

Easterly Irk

CR not PPCG! actually is pretty good.

wait, what am I saying??????

orlp

mineatlas doesn't show stronghold?

TheNumberOne

@AquaTart The tallest mountains I've ever seen in minecraft have always been in the Savanna M biome.

Easterly Irk

22:32

Nope.

PhiNotPi

774550415206299 has a savanna, savanna M, and the three types of mesa

Easterly Irk

@TheNumberOne Mega Taiga M works for me.

orlp

7084540371814454228 quad witchhut

Easterly Irk

1.618033988749894848204586834 is a pretty good seed.

Sam

mineatlas.com/… oh look at this it spawns on flat grassland with roofed forest and jungle close by

Easterly Irk

22:33

@PhiNotPi is that number familiar? :P

orlp

mineatlas is 1.8 though

Easterly Irk

oh

:(

brb trying Golf Script and seeing if anything changes

El'endia Starman

TIL ocean monuments are a LOT more common than I thought.

Easterly Irk

^

They are really hard to find. :(

PhiNotPi

@EasterlyIrk Not sure what you mean.

TheNumberOne

22:34

I really like "ppcg"

Easterly Irk

@PhiNotPi 1.618033988749894848204586834

PhiNotPi

And yeah, some of the seeds above are from mineatlas, but I guess I thought overworld generation was the same.

El'endia Starman

Whatever seed you guys pick, I'm in charge of making the maps. :P

I think I'll make a map wall with maps at each zoom level.

Already designing it in my head... :P

Aqua Tart

I wish there was a good way to generate dirt in vanilla.

Easterly Irk

The mineatlas is wrong for 1.9 :(

PhiNotPi

22:37

k, is chunkbase accurate?

Easterly Irk

brb googling chunkbase

El'endia Starman

The issue is probably that the generation algorithm changed between 1.8 and 1.9.

If chunkbase isn't up-to-date...

Aqua Tart

Say, if anyone finds a seed that starts at a mesa that would be perfect for what I have in mind.

Helka Homba

You can always do it locally

Easterly Irk

@El'endiaStarman it isn't.

Sam

22:38

chunkbase does igloos already

Easterly Irk

I think I have the wrong link...

Helka Homba

btw I like plains with nearby oceans and mesas

orlp

chunkbase is terrible though

Easterly Irk

^

orlp

why does it not show everything on one map

PhiNotPi

22:39

My ideal spawn is a plains biome that just so happens to be adjacent to every other biome in the game.

TheNumberOne

@PhiNotPi so far :)

El'endia Starman

Whatever you guys pick, I'd like the privilege of building the map wall right in front of spawn. As in, I dig into the dirt and build up with some material and put maps on it, so when new people join, they immediately see a map of the area.

Easterly Irk

Go for it.

Helka Homba

@El'endiaStarman Sure

Sam

chunkbase.com/apps/biome-finder#seed.new() if only this was up to date... mushroom biome spawn

orlp

22:40

my ideal spawn is a good spawn on top of a nether fortress

Easterly Irk

@TheNumberOne pls link pls

orlp

or at least, that's where I'll build

PhiNotPi

We should build our "spawn hut" around the spawn square.

Easterly Irk

@orlp rofl

@PhiNotPi good idea.

TheNumberOne

@EasterlyIrk chunkbase.com/apps/biome-finder

orlp

22:41

@EasterlyIrk I'm serious

err

I mean end fortress

or whatever it's called

Easterly Irk

wtf???

I is confused.

orlp

I want to jump down from my base straight into the end

Easterly Irk

stronghold.

orlp

right

Easterly Irk

irrelavent thing of the day

orlp

22:41

stronghold

Easterly Irk

in The Nineteenth Byte, 2 mins ago, by mınxomaτ

El'endia Starman

Strongholds are always ~120 blocks from the spawn.

orlp

tumblr wants it's gf back

PhiNotPi

only 120? I thought it was much more.

orlp

@El'endiaStarman yes, I want it to be under a good biome

so I can just jump down straight into the end

El'endia Starman

22:42

@PhiNotPi I think remember right.

orlp

that's the only thing that matters for placing your base

everything else can be brought to you

PhiNotPi

> within 1408–2688 of the origin

El'endia Starman

oh, I was wrong

orlp

only the end portal doesn't move

TheNumberOne

"java" starts in a mesa and has 3 mushroom islands in a 5000 block radius

Easterly Irk

22:43

@TheNumberOne link whatever you are using pls???

El'endia Starman

I got 120 from the fact that they're 120 degrees away from each other.

PhiNotPi

Everybody hates Java, tho.

TheNumberOne

@EasterlyIrk chunkbase.com/apps/biome-finder#java

El'endia Starman

And TIL there's more than one ring of strongholds. That must be a fairly recent change?

TheNumberOne

@PhiNotPi I don't :D

Easterly Irk

22:43

@El'endiaStarman yeah

PhiNotPi

Also, it appears that there's now 128 of them,

Easterly Irk

oh, chunkbase is accurate, and java is a great one.

El'endia Starman

Oh, that is a 1.9 change. Cool!

Dang, minecraft.gamepedia is fast. :P

(Well, they probably use the pre-releases for that information.)

Easterly Irk

desert temple right next to spawn

I call it as house

well, ~1000 blocks away.

spawn is on a mountain tho

and desert village

El'endia Starman

The best place for spawn probably is a flat-ish area. With woods nearby.

TheNumberOne

22:46

"java" also spawns fairly close to an ocean that is adjacent to almost all of the biomes

Easterly Irk

no woods, mesa, desert, savanna

on a peninsula with ocean around.

Aqua Tart

No one likes my plateau idea?

Easterly Irk

Trying to find one....

No big ones.

El'endia Starman

We can just make one...

Aqua Tart

i meant an artificial one

A natural one would not work because then true spawn would be aboveground

Sam

22:48

@orlp mineatlas.com is up to date...

Aqua Tart

I want to put it underground

TheNumberOne

The only problem with "java" is that I can't find any jungle biomes :/

Easterly Irk

nope

@Sam not utd with 1.9...

Sam

it is i am testing it

Easterly Irk

Sam

22:48

on 1.9 minecraft

Easterly Irk

@Sam my first test was wrong. :/

Sam

how do i post image?

Easterly Irk

upload button next to send

Sam

i have no upload...

Easterly Irk

Sam

22:50

nope not there

Easterly Irk

WTF?

Can you imgur a screenshot?

And [chunkbase.com/apps/biome-finder#calvin\'s hobbies](chunkbase.com/apps/biome-finder#calvin\'s hobbies)

is a next one.

PhiNotPi

P=NP gives a bunch of ice.

Sam

imgur?

Easterly Irk

imgur.com

PhiNotPi

I think the upload button is a rep privilege.

Easterly Irk

22:52

IDK

chunkbase.com/apps/biome-finder#helka Helka is nice.

Helka Homba

I'd really like a very large ocean near spawn. Then it's easy to adventure off to new places

Easterly Irk

Swamp, mesa, ocean, islands, mushroom islands.

I like that one.

Except it says HELKA NOT CALVIN IT IS SACRELIGE

Sam

imgur.com/a/ygka0

PhiNotPi

P=NP spawned me near a floating igloo

Sam

@EasterlyIrk see... xD

Easterly Irk

22:55

hm

you're right.

TheNumberOne

"python" is pretty lame

Easterly Irk

I have to get some actual work done, so ping me if you see any good ones. I won't go far though.

El'endia Starman

:(

Easterly Irk

^

Sam

@HelkaHomba try seed.new() its a mushroom biome next to an ocean

TheNumberOne

22:58

nice, but no mesa's for a long ways.

Sam

Yeh i know only problem really

structures are quite scarce to

TheNumberOne

Actually, there is a Mesa 6000 blocks to the west.

Aqua Tart

A mushroom biome close to other biomes would be perfect

Helka Homba

In about 10 min I'm going to shut down the server for the very last backup. I'll put it back online after but nothing will be saved from then on.

PhiNotPi

Time to vandalize?

Rainbolt

22:59

@Sam Is your avatar from Free!?

El'endia Starman

Shoot, I should've made some TNT!

Sam

i found it on google images XD

TheNumberOne

Wow! "lab rat race" is really good.

Easterly Irk

@PhiNotPi okai

El'endia Starman

...that's what he's doing.

TheNumberOne

23:01

^

Helka Homba

yeah

Easterly Irk

oops

Helka Homba

then I'll try to put a zip of it online

El'endia Starman

And actually, I can make the TNT after the server comes back up and blow up my stuff with it. :D

Especially the sheep farm. MUAHAHAHA

Aqua Tart

Maybe we should make videos of the new world

PhiNotPi

23:02

We could do more videos.

Or at least more progress pics.

El'endia Starman

I'll leave that up to you guys. :P

TheNumberOne

"lab rat race" has an ocean about 700 blocks to the east that borders pretty much every biome

El'endia Starman

I can do pics though.

Aqua Tart

I might be able to record in 720p.

Sam

look at "Milkshake" its a great seed but not flat

Aqua Tart

23:03

I would have to experiment with ffmpeg a bit

Sam

whenever i try to record minecraft my game suffers no lag but the video always does

Aqua Tart

I get rendering artifacts in Minecraft sometimes

but not in other games...

Sam

Well i recommend for a seed you choose "seed.new()" or "Milkshake" but i must go for now see you later guys...

Helka Homba

Server down for backup

TheNumberOne

"jelly" spawns at the edge of an ocean with several biomes bordering it.

Aqua Tart

23:16

Elevation at true spawn?

TheNumberOne

2 or 3 blocks above sea level

Aqua Tart

Hit f3

Y coord

you still there?

Helka Homba

We decided on a seed yet?

PhiNotPi

no

Magenta

PhiNotPi

23:26

I think lab rat race is our current best.

Magenta

seed "Never Gonna Give You Up"

and there's a witch hut

Helka Homba

@PhiNotPi oh

Aqua Tart

@PhiNotPi what is the elevation at true spawn and how far is it from an ocean

PhiNotPi

"true spawn" is on the side of some kind of "savanna plateau"

Aqua Tart

Y coord?

Helka Homba

23:30

@PhiNotPi Looks nice, but is there an ocean?

PhiNotPi

Looks like the nearest ocean is 300 blocks away, but the ocean borders almost every biome.

y coord is 81

Aqua Tart

Perfect

PhiNotPi

but it's literally on the side of a hill that goes from 88 to 64

I would prefer a more level spawn.

Aqua Tart

That's perfect we can just extend the hill

Helka Homba

not good for @El'endiaStarman's maps

Aqua Tart

23:33

No trust me you'll get a level spawn

Helka Homba

idk, it's a very big savanna hill dropping off to a huge plain

I'd prefer a flatter spawn too

TheNumberOne

@AquaTart Sorry, I had just exited minecraft when you asked the question.

Aqua Tart

Spawn is going to be a massive flat cavern.

Besides you can build on the flat plain below it if you want that

Helka Homba

@AquaTart But players always spawn on the highest y level with only air above it (at least, that's how it worked in 1.8)

PhiNotPi

we can do something like having glass or half slabs above the spawning square

Helka Homba

23:39

@PhiNotPi idk if that works. I've definitely spawned on top of hoppers (which are non-solid)

PhiNotPi

okay

orlp

did anyone check the seed "orlp"

it's logical if it's awesome

Helka Homba

Let's choose something a little more universal ;)

orlp

orlp_universal

Helka Homba

u_u

Sam

23:41

i found a good seed

orlp

not kidding though

orlp_universal seems decent

Sam

flat plains next to ocean near mushroom biome and vilage

imgur.com/PtaPXpF

village is top left

spawn pink wool lower right

mineatlas.com/… and this is a map of it

El'endia Starman

@HelkaHomba I'll probably end up doing some terraforming.

Thinking about doing an 11x11 to start with, with half of it under level ground.

Helka Homba

@Sam hmm, I do like this, just perhaps too much ocean

Sam

i thought you wanted ocean xD

El'endia Starman

23:44

And I'll terrace the ground in front of it, and probably put a duplicate on the back of the map wall that has platforms in places that help with looking closer at certain parts.

orlp

how do I run minecraft on 64 bit java?

I want to allocate 4gigs of memory to minecraft

but it complains

PhiNotPi

programming languages spawns next to a massive ocean

Aqua Tart

@HelkaHomba You can just use /spawnpoint or adventure mode

orlp

btw are you guys coming on discord?

Eridan

Graduation is next to a witch hut but doesn't have a big ocean that doesn't have islands

Aqua Tart

23:45

Or we can make it open air

Helka Homba

@AquaTart yeah yeah, but we're tweaking circumstances enough as it is

Aqua Tart

I am pretty sure that half slabs would work though

Anyways we can make the 20x20 part open to the sky and the rest closed up

make it look like a volcano perhaps

TheNumberOne

We should take a vote.

Aqua Tart

1. flat traditional spawn

2. volcano

3. something with trees

TheNumberOne

"lab rat race"

Aqua Tart

23:49

lab rat race

Helka Homba

I'm ok with lab rat race if you spawn planners aren't fussed

Eridan

Hello, World! looks nice from above, let me look at the spawn area

Aqua Tart

We don't really need perfect flatness for a spawn anyways. The spawn on my personal server is in jungle hills and its spawn is still beautiful

Helka Homba

A hilltop spawn would make a nice view

Aqua Tart

I was thinking of putting a glass window in the top spawn level of the volcano facing the ocean

El'endia Starman

23:53

I'll just do whatever terraforming I need to for the map wall.

Aqua Tart

Map wall can be its own floor.

El'endia Starman

I want it to be the first thing new (to the world) players see.

I should probably build an example in Creative mode and post a screenshot.

Aqua Tart

I was hoping to have shops on the first level but OK sure

Helka Homba

Poll to confirm lab rat race as the new seed: strawpoll.me/6959800

3

Aqua Tart

Mind you these floors will be really really big

@HelkaHomba strawpoll doesnt work for me on mobile, just pretend there is a yes vote from me

El'endia Starman

23:56

Consider my vote to be "anything is fine". :P

PhiNotPi

When are we starting the server, in an hour or so?

Helka Homba

@PhiNotPi Yes

Sam

i wish i wasn't in the uk its midnight and i didn't want to miss out on this, oh well

TheNumberOne

@DJMcGoathem @Eridan @orlp @Magenta @Rainbolt @ballesta25 Vote please!

Eridan

Bah, I have like 2 hours of work I need to do in 45 minutes then. Let's do this xD

@TheNumberOne Voted yes
