  1. Fe(II) was completely torn down so we could redo it with a new style iron farm. PupInAction started to rebuild it. Don't think she finished. I honestly don't know if anything is there right now aside from a giant stoned in pit.
  2. This is all I know . . .
  3. under the water are the iron golems killing spots, above the water there were supposed to be 4 floating islands with 2 spawning spots per island.

    If you get there via the train tracks, the only remaining one is on your left when you come across the portal.
    Another one was to be a little be more in front of you still on the left, and the other two on the right, you can see the "holes" in the water were the golems would fall.
  4. I fixed what pup had built. DrMadFate had placed glass blocks blocking the villagers line of sight, though I'm not sure why: To protect the remaining villagers? Furthermore, I revived the poor infected buddy, and replaced the two that were dead, as well as adding lighting.

    Everyone else here who replied faster than I has explained:
    Under the water = golem transport (mostly)
    above the water = golem spawning (incomplete)

    Also waffle, thank you for showing it is working.

    I do note one flaw: they do get stuck in the stone brick walls when spawning, which can lead to suffocation.... which can lead to loss if there's a lava blade on the fall.

    If you need me on, poking me in discord is faster. :p

  5. Is there a reason why the beacon at Fe(II) is a mining one instead of attack?
  6. Hey everyone, I know I said I'd be taking this over, but... Well, EMC has a lot of history, for me. Some of it's good. Some of it's not so good. I've been here since July 2015, I was 14. I'm 20 now.

    Hindsight is also 20/20 and all that. What I thought was acceptable for online interactions when I was 15 is very different from now.

    So, I apologize, but I won't be logging in anymore, which means I will not be participating in PWU. If you need assistance with block protections, you can provide staff a link to this post: any blocks of mine are free to be vouched for on my behalf in the wild worlds.

    Good luck to the rest of you, and I hope all goes well on EMC 👌

  7. I don't know what happened, but I hope you'll reconsider, I'm sure it can be fixed.

  8. This.. is random? .. I'm sorry to see this, but... ok, sorry!

    Fred: Probably one of us PWU members forgot to put it back after the mining under fell we did last time. i think that's a khix thing to fix.
  9. Probably bc Corrupted dug a giant pit for it and we forgot it was even out there LOL.

  12. Just a thought, but there has been an update to minecraft that has wither skeletons spawning on any nether brick anywhere in the nether. The Nether Hunting Grounds are something of a historical build on EMC, but I'm wondering what people would think about re-tooling it to get rid of all the slabs now that they can spawn anywhere. Any thoughts?

  13. I do not recall this change; I would have to look into this. i have heard this rumor before, before looking and finding it was still defined spaces in a fortress.

    Interesting idea tho.

    Sorry for the month late ping.
  14. Wither skeletons spawning on nether brick is an EMC change from a while ago.
  15. No worries on the slow reply. I have tested it and they can spawn anywhere. So the idea would be to take the nether fortress farm area and get rid of all the slabs. Then wither skeles could spawn in the entire area.

  16. Hello Fellow Citizens of SMP8

    I’ve come back from a Minecraft Hiatus, and it couldn’t have come at a better time with the 1.19 update and Chickeneer’s hint that Empire’s update will come soon.

    Its been quite some time since PWU has had any major updates so I guess most farms are out of date, and I’m sure other public spaces have risen to satisfy the community’s needs. PWU has always been different in the way that we don’t have fully afk-able farms and , and it’s one of the keypoints which I feel its important to mantain as pur signature identy.

    My current construction projects mainly consist of refurbishing smp8 /nether and beginning the construction of dolphin nether highways which have a travel speed of 150 blocks/second. Since one of EMC’s unique traits is that the Frontier does not reset, I find it very appealing to embrace that, and use water that was placed before MC1.3 to create highways accross our nether, as we have already done in our /wild n nether hub.

    So what do I want from you?

    1. First your voice, which farms do you think PWU should update first, or create from scratch.
    2. If you are interested in helping with the design of the nether highway, please let me know, so I can share the specifications
    3. If you are interested in helping build future projects, dm me in our discord

    Current plans:

    Nether Highways
    1. Finish Storage Ring of highway around /nether ✅
    2. Decide design for such highway based on modularity, cost and utility (187500 blocks to reach world border)✅
    3. Create entrance for such highways / scout areas✅
    4. Nether HighWay Progress: North = 5k out

    PWU Farm Overhaul
    1. Survey current farms to see which are working and which aren’t
    2. Determine amount of work for updating farms and work from quickest to longest
    3. Reach out to community to hear what are the most needed farms
    4. Recruit volunteers/helpera to facilitate making of projects
    Empires
    1. Once the Empires update comes out I’ll create an Empire with the PWU tag with the BankingClan account (Shared account between admins of PWU, to future proof build vouches if any of players decide to leave EMC)

    Thanks for you time for reading this, please let me know if you are interested in helping!

  17. uuu, how do you build them without water?
  18. In my OG outpost there was a water source which I decided to share with the public.

    You can view and use (a small) but functioning highway in our /wild n nether hub :)

  19. First Phase of 90 of the Nether Highway going North is open :) North

    This project will be handled by me mostly since 1st its build area is small and I feel its safer to have fewer players with /bmode when handling water.

    I'll be away the following two weekends, so probably the beginning of August I will start surveying the farms - looking mostly and FeII - and adapt it to 1.19

    If any1 wants to help with that let me know :)

  20. Heya People, I recently was using PWU’s rails and noticed that they were extremely slow, wanted to see if anyone was also experiencing this, and that I’m not crazy… haha right, as if I weren’t already

    If a few people can confirm this, then it must be that along the update Mojang changed how curve momentum and mine carts behaved. I’ll begin researching other designs, but most likely it will be solely powered rails, as I believe most people use iceboats and elytras, and we already have dolphin tunnels for the far away locations.

    If any1 has ideas they would like to share, or wanna help, lemme know :)

    Edit: Also, I was planning on bringing back the end slaying event that Slvr hosted, but realized that the griefing that in 2021, was never repaired. I will be using my alt SpiritAdventurer, which has no vouches of any1 to remove all non-bmode blocks, and then rebuild the arena from the ground up, cause the damage done in 2021 is very big.

    Edit 2: Since the damage from the griefing is close to 50% and from the blocks that remain close to 20% are not grief protected, I decided to redesign the whole thing into a new more modern pallete. Pls go to our discord to see pictures and such. Friendly reminder, if you use PWU utilities or have placed some or a ton of blocks there, please /fr add BankingClan, been really useful for vouches we have needed to adjust build or inthis situation change the design
