Fellow miners/crafters...
Its time for another community get together to build something to house the egg we fought so bravely to obtain.
Obviously people have their own projects going on that they are dedicating time to but it would be nice to get some sort of monument or temple built in order to show off our shiny reward.
So...if anyone has any ideas of what we could build together and some ideas of where would be the best place to build it, please share and we can get 'cracking'.
got 6000 blocks of end stone in a chest if required for the build
Bump!
Ideas guys!, I believe Sulky has levelled us a nice area...
yep still there right next to the entrance, I may have used the stone though......
but I have put a portal back to the main nether portal zone as well
what about this? (http://www.minecraft-schematics.com/schematic/1250/)
All are welcome to help out guys, would be good to do a joint build again
im up for it, Ive leveled a 71 x 71 block area with the center marked so it would be easy to expand this with that center point if needed ..if you know what i mean?
Workshop and living area are now built ready to start the big build and area has now been extended. Fences have been built to keep out the nasties. Just need loads more end stone now to finish the base.
I've been thinking, it would be nice to have some of the temple built with rare-ish materials to make it that little more special, I'm thinking some diamond blocks etc somewhere :norty: and other expensive stuff on show
I had originally posted an offer to go on an end stone gathering mission, then read something telling me I can't come back without slaying the dragon.. (Never been before so a little unsure about it all) That might be a little much on my todd but I'd happily join in on a group mission. If there's anything I can help gather in the regular world I'm off work tomorrow, just let me know and I'll get on it :)
We've been to the end and killed the dragon. The portal now lets you go to the end and gather resources you need. Just take a pumpkin helmet to avoid the endermen. someone can give you the coordinates of where to access it.
Ah brilliant! Thanks Penfold, I'll get on it when I've obtained coordinates
The coordinates on the dynmap are 369,65,664 :)
I should be around tomorrow night if you prefer to have someone show you around the end. The portals are slightly different to the normal portals, and also when you leave the end you don't end up back where you entered the end if that makes sense.
At the moment we just need to collect some end stone and then we can start to map the first layer of the temple and go from there.
Thanks man :) Got quite a few xp at the moment so will bump them up and enchant something, then probably watch a youtube video so I know what to expect. I'll see what the time is then and decide whether it's worth going it alone and getting cracking, or waiting for your guidance.. I'm assuming death results in waking up at home, if I discover otherwise in the meantime I'm definitely waiting haha. Really like the build by the way, good choice
when you leave the end you transport to the last bed that you slept on, luckily just on the northern side of the big square (where the build will be) there is a building, inside is a bed, use this and you respawn there. Remeber you can only use the bed at night
And if that one ever gets broken...... there is another end portal that hasn't been activated yet, the site was all kitted out as an alternative launch point in case there was an issue with the original entry point.
I should come and check on my livestock and finish off my "projects".
Need to check my chests to see if I gathered any endstone, don't think I ever returned after we destroyed the dragon.
Don't forget your pumpkins.
So paddy and I were bored today, so we have 4 full crates of end stone which is 13824 blocks of end stone, and heres a screen shot of my stats, nearly dug as much as cobble

Nice Mr Sulky shouldn't think we would need much more.
I was thinking maybe using obsidian for the black blocks on the build (I know obsidian is purple). What do you think? We could ask the wonderful Lib to build us an obsidian generator on site so we have plenty :)

There is an 11 block obsidian generator still active in one of my many palaces (the tower), it should still be functional, even though it's made of mud. There's the 2 block one in the dMw village as well.
Need to check if I left the secret switch in place.
It's not a long run to the village from the temple site, but I could come and build one locally if needed,
Looks like the village portal has been intercepted as well, that needs fixing. All the pics at Lib tower have vanished, need to stick some more up, they are temperamental.
But the obsidian generator is still in the basement there and appears functional.
village portal worked fine the other day, where is it transporting you too?
I appeared in a portal in a new (to me) house just outside the village.
Ahh yes Mega made one, and it hurts when you use it.
ermmm, toby has kindly worked out what we need for the build, here goes:
Stone = 347,479
Obsidian = 123,522
Glass = 236
Double Stone Slabs = 54,000
Stone Slabs = 16,000
Cobblestone Slabs = 52 (yes just 52)
stone stairs = 66
Ice = 15,000 :roflmao:
Glowstone = 1,112
Water = 10,000
......oh and that's just for the main middle bit :blink:
Might have to scale it down somewhat :roflmao:
As the original idea for the monument seems somewhat overwhelming we have built instead a pyramid out of end stone.
The idea is to add/amend this skeleton with things to spruce it up a little, so go check it out and come up with some ideas guys.
We need plenty of glowstone to light the place up instead of having torches everywhere and we thought maybe have some rare materials such as diamond blocks placed etc....
Everyone is welcome to chip in.
There was a few of us on tonight and was good fun doing a community build again, so get involved and have your input :)
