Meet the pack. The wolves are pretty cool overall, and I haven't lost any of them yet. Sometimes they can be a bit annoying though, by getting in the way of your mining or bumping into you near tall cliffs. They're good combatants but I'm always afraid one of them will get killed if they get in a fight with a hostile mob. It makes combat a lot more frantic, which is good!

I used to ponder a bit about Minecraft alternate game modes. You know, like Buddhist Mario. But Pacifist Minecraft (do not kill mobs etc.) or Tree Hugger Minecraft (do not cut trees or pick flowers etc.) wouldn't be much fun. But now I think I've found a truly awesome alternate game mode: Wolfman!

In Wolfman, you go the way of the wolf. You become the alpha of a pack of wolves, who you will protect and guide. You live off nothing but the spoils of your kills and your survival instinct. No crafting allowed! Let's see you get through the monster-infested night with (most of) your pack alive.

If we create a new world for a while you should use the Trinity seed, creates an area that starts in a snowy realm and then has crazy mountains all around it and quickly goes into other biomes, its great!

But I wanted to go to the Secret seed first! It has a massive desert with floating mountains and a sprawling ocean as well.

Edit: Trinity does have some nice waterworks, but I don't see many opportunities for settlement.

What are you talking about? Every land is a clean slate ripe to be settled, even if it's just open plains. You may just not have spawned in the right area, because there are some crazy awesome areas on Trinity that are just absolutely amazing. Better than Gargamel, my previous favorite seed.

Edit: I've been looking around Secret and it is a pretty awesome map type, but I'm kinda tired of desert. We have a whole bunch of desert back on our main server and I just felt like it would be a cool change of scenery to do snow for a while.

Jace is correct. I had to give it a couple days to respond to the first ticket comment since I was gone, but it sounds like it might have been something wrong with the server since I also couldn't use any world other than the default "world" name.

Should know and have it sorted soon.

Ok, try it now. It seems they got it fixed. I also updated the map again and actually got the lost chunks cut off. It should be working fine, though for some reason it's having trouble loading the Runecraft plugin at the moment. I'm sure I can get that figured out later though. For now the world is back up.

All right, it works. I went right ahead and stuffed that house full of explosives, and put a water curtain around it to dampen the blast. It's one redstone torch away from total destruction. Who's coming to watch?

Edit: Boro_Bandito and Dliessmgg were there for the detonation. It went much, much better than I expected, you should see the result.

I decided what to do with the Northern side of my sand keep. COVER IT AND FLATTEN EVERYTHING. The hard part has been making sure everything is well lit so I don't get monsters spawning as I run around the keep. Also getting enough sandstone to build the ceiling and walls for it. I'm also working on a giant tree and I've made the floating island tower even bigger, I hope to expand on the floating island a bit so there is some room to run around it.
Steve, any chance we could get an updated map?

Finally able to make real progress with my village. I'm going to finish the middle class level first, with houses, a shop and an inn, and then I'll move on to the manors and gardens of the upper class level. Finally I'll finish off the lower class with an undercroft - a whole city inside the hill the upper class houses rests on. After that it's time for outlying fields and some windmills and a low wall around everything.

I love making huge things.
