  1. Thanks to all involved for your work! Both the dirt removal and bookmark features sound very useful!

  2. some of us like collecting all that dirt by hand :rolleyes:
  3. So THIS is what you were working on. Can't wait to try it out!


    As for the rest of it:
    That "soonest" date of Jan 21st got me. Was pleasantly surprised to see the update occuring by forum announcement.
    Now for the life of me, I can't remember if I got everything out of the waste. Now if I can just get to feeling better (sick atm) so that I can get online and join in all the new fun!

    And mods... Must update mods. Still thought I had a few days to finish that also.
  4. And so, our horizons deepen, and our sights are set even higher in the sky. Thanks for the ongoing work that makes EMC so relevant in the Minecraft world. Thanks again Chicken and Moops! The Sus :cool:

  5. You know what they say about temporary fixes? Nothing more permanent than a temporary fix!
  6. I get to tune in today only to find that the update has happened!! OMG!! I'm so excited!!

    Thank you sooo much chickeneer this is fantastic and BIG kudos to Moopies too. You go girrrl!!! =D
  7. Are the heights extended in the nether/end?
  8. Cool! :D
    The residence bookmark feature sounds nice too. :)

    I'm pretty sure Sky doesn't mean that dirt would be removed whether the player wants it or not, that would be weird. The point is that currently you need to bother senior staff in order to get the dirt on your residence removed. Now that there's a command for removing dirt, why not always let people use that command?
  9. So to be clear, it removes all dirt except the layer where the bedrock used to be? Or does it remove all dirt layers including the old bedrock layer, in which case it's useless to me...
  10. Oh, there's a limit on bookmarks >:c guess i'll stick with my book & quill
  11. As with vanilla. The only changes are the overworld.

    I believe it removed the layer where bedrock used to be. If it doesn't that would be a bug. Let me know if I need to improve my wording on my explanation.

    Have you hit the limit already? Im open to raising limits, I'm just not sure what will be reasonable for people to actually use in practice. This is just the initial amount. We would only raise the limits, not lower

  12. I think something around 20 bookmarks for quartz players would be a good start, I probably visit 10-15 res regularly and then have a few extra spots for friends res/some cool places to look at (and more which can be unlocked with supporter).

  13. Are the bookmarks SMP based or community wide?
  14. The bookmarks are across all of EMC. So if you make a bookmark on SMP1, you will be able to see it on SMP3. However, at this time, you will still have to manually switch SMPs before teleporting to a bookmark on a different SMP.

    will there be discounts for dirt removal between reses if we had already paid for one? gonna cost me hecka money to get my reses dirt free again
  15. I don't think so. Road edits are already 5k for one WE function. Maybe we could be persuaded on a bulk discount for doing that same removal on many roads - but we have not decided anything like that.
  16. Chicken you ability to provide a stable update within a reasonable time frame is one of the greatest highlights of EMC. Thank you and anyone else who contributed to this update.

  17. Is there an option to keep that layer? I need to keep it. There are items placed on top of there that would break if it disappeared, such as torches and signs. There's also lava, which means that if that dirt is gone, the lava will flood my underground.
