I'll be in in 20min or less
 
3 hours later…
04:30
Anyone want to take on a water temple in a few days? (We'll prepare more than we did fro the ender dragon.)
Sure.
Would it be easier or harder to do?
Easier I think, if we're prepared. Having more people will help us scour the temple of guardians much faster.
But we'll need lots of pufferfish for water breathing potions
We should actually make a list of what we need to bring.
So we actually have a plan.
04:53
Bizarre plan: bring a ton of stacks of gravel/sand and drop them down into the ocean to form a vertical tunnel of air into the monument.

^bird's eye view of tunnel
05:08
But it's all water on the inside
 
5 hours later…

@Calvin'sHobbies yo can you whitelist 'nightcracker'
@Calvin'sHobbies actually, I just changed my mojang name to 'orlp', so that should work
 
3 hours later…
13:02
@Calvin'sHobbies If you can right click with a bucket to a certain tempo you can clear out all the water in the tunnel
 
4 hours later…
17:16
I have a puzzle for you g uys
no redstone, no pistons, no hoppers, no dispensers, no command blocks
just water
(only one item is floating around)
17:32
@orlp Added
@EliasBenevedes Hey
Didn't know ppcg had a mcserver
It's less than a week old
So if I joined, I wouldn't be too far behind?
@Calvin'sHobbies thanks
@Calvin'sHobbies I'm getting severe lag whenever I hop on a horse.
As in, riding a horse is lower than walking.
17:39
horses are dumb in multiplayer
@EliasBenevedes Not at all. And you can use some stuff from our automatic farms to start out.
They were actually pretty good yesterday, for some reason.
@PhiNotPi That happened for me too yesterday. And sometimes horses are just as laggy for me in single player (not online).
okay
Actually, the server keeps having this error: 11.06 13:45:05 [Server] Server thread/WARN Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded? Running 4951ms behind, skipping 99 tick(s)
Let me try restarting it
@PhiNotPi I think it's due to this bug: bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-14946
17:48
probably
18:01
anyone have an idea for my puzzle yet?
@orlp You didn't ask a question. What is the puzzle?
@Rainbolt scroll up in chat
I see the gif. You basically linked to a gif and asked for the answer to the puzzle.
What is the puzzle?
Err not a gif
Whatever kind of file that is
@Rainbolt To rebuild it
I see
18:07
I'm guessing it involves the glass elevator glitch
no redstone, no pistons, no hoppers, no dispensers, no command blocks, just water
I assume we can use more than just water
18:30
yes
more than just water
it's not the glass elevator glitch
18:47
@Rainbolt Spiders do climb that high. One just got in!
spiders can climb any height
you need outstanding edges to keep them out
(you can do this with a ring of the block 'cobblestone wall')
@Calvin'sHobbies Uh oh
Will fix when I log back on
Were you at ground level?
And do you know if it climbed or fell?
Yes
It climbed
18:50
Ok
House is gonna look ugly now :(
NO WAIT!
I'll make a moat
With overhanging fences
Spiders can't overcome lips on ledges
Unless they can dangle from ceilings too?
nope
Don't say any more less Mojang hear you
@Rainbolt The skelly grinder works now.
@orlp I was having latency issues too, but it's not normally like that.
Something is very wrong. This message keeps happening: 11.06 15:01:15 [Server] Server thread/WARN Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded? Running 37444ms behind, skipping 748 tick(s)
The chicken farm is uber-laggy. I'll try to fix that.
neutral mobs wont despawn (I think?) even if they get unloaded
so it may be a good idea to keep the chicken farm unloaded if possible
and/or other sources of lag
19:03
@PhiNotPi Yeah, I've noticed that
If this server is to stay around a long time, better to stop flowing water when you see it
It's good etiquette on any server
Usually happens when a creeper blows up by a lake
flowing water isn't terrible
Killed all the chickens.
Why would flowing water be worse than still water? It's just a block type that updates when a block is place next to it, no?
Turned out some extra feather fount their way into the hopper timer, preventing any chickens from being killed.
So there was a massive overflow of chickens.
And then the hoppers got all clogged up with eggs.
19:21
still no one has found it
hint: how can you send send two separate channels of items over one water stream and separate them later?
The Latency errors seemed to have stopped
It was the chicken farm's fault.
19:39
are you sure
you're not breeding goats?
scape goats?
I got rid of a ton of cows and paintings. That might have helped too
20:09
There were literally many hundreds of chickens in a 1x1x1 space.
20:56
I've made a lava half slab chicken farm, and had the same problem on another server. It was almost certainly the cause.
I'm assuming this is one where they grow up, get taller, get roasted?
That's what it is now.
Before, it was on a timer that dispensed and retracted lava.
Oh I see
The hopper timer got clogged up, so no chickens were getting killed.
Oh derp. I just needed to keep reading up
That's kind of hilarious
