Chickeneer is correct. The chunk borders mod does not take into account the y axis. However, a chunk is essentially a measurement of 16 blocks, including up and down. If there is no turkey on the surface of your location and the chunk distance of the turkey stays the same or gets higher, then logically the turkey would be underground. If you are one chunk away and don't see a turkey on the surface, dig down. In your case, try digging down a chunk (16 blocks). The chunk borders mod is really an aid to help you better locate turkeys. It won't give you the exact location, but it does help to narrow it down.
Yes, and //calc (command in game) really helps with that task. //calc 16*14 (for that very distant Turkey) I love our //calc command
Thanks for the update, I've now been able to find every gobble that i hear gobbling. Still no sword though. :I Gotta keep on slicing them gobbles.
Didn't Include any of the hours of searching, but you can get a good idea of how long to kill. On the way back to town, we ran into a Marlix that spawned and then we forgot about. Lots of fighting for one night.
Err I didn't intend that... we can fix that >_> Just need to clone both locs, set Y = 0, then distance.
Reasons and explanations as to why this occurred: 2013 - The Turkey Slicer was originally released as a Thanksgiving promo item only in 2013. This one has the year on it because it was a promo item. No turkeys in existence. 2014 - The promo was the Ham Hacker and has the year on it. At this time, Aikar came up with these ridiculous invincible turkeys and wanted a rare drop on them. We settled on the Turkey Slicer, since it was only fitting, but since it wasn't available with /promo. It became officially a 'special mob drop' with the lore saying Thanksgiving Turkey Drop and no year. It falls into the same category as the Marlix items, etc. 2015 - Thanksgiving Map Art released. No official /promo item. Turkeys return with their sword drop.
It just seems like last year we got a promo and the event was a bit of a bonus and this year we just have the event and no promo that everyone can have.
As Aikar stated, every year is not the same. In 2013, there was a promo, but no event. Every year is a little different. Besides, this year we got some really cool Map Art released.
I took a much needed break. Also we just pumped tons of powerful items into the economy with 100k.... We didn't need yet another promo so shortly after others.
Yes, I saw a feast chest today. The spawn rates are low but they are spawning. I just want to once again thank the staff for putting on events like this. I know I whined more than usual and for that I apologize.
I found a feast chest right outside a waste protected zone. Just stepped off the stairs and there it was.
A couple time I've gotten the cords for a chest, but it was no where to be found. They should be above ground right? I went to those exact locations and looked high and low but nothing.
