Spawnguard, a brief introduction

[Roobarb Pie]

All across blocktopia, whispers are appearing of an ancient force revealing it's true powers. Everywhere, the minions of the night are returning. Vampires, creepers, greifers.
Mostly creepers and greifers.
BUT, in the event that the vampires should appear, the Spawnguard will leave their base at the centre of the lands and crusade against the ultimate ancient evil.
For now, we'll be prettying up the spawn island in the wake of recent destruction, making it look more appealing towards newcomers and whatnot.

Guild roster:

Chief hunter: roobarb_pie
Chief recruiter: roobarb_pie
Janitor: Scruffy
Junior spawn repairman: roobarb_pie
Tea boy: Doe vakin

I wish to apply for vampire.

 

[Duffie]

I've already cleaned up some of the coast of workbenches for your guys.

What shall we do about the "houses"? And I say "houses", because they're broken up and not even houses.

 

[cheatyface]

I cleaned up a bunch of floating trees at one spot and replanted saplings, but you've got a whole lot of work cut out for you.

Why do I suddenly imagine SpawnGaurd secretly doing massive terra-forming and turning the spawn island into a massive Casino / Castle / Theme-park / etc giant buildings / structures...

I haven't seen spawn in ages, but I'm guessing it must really be torn up.
Apologies for taking almost all of the stone brick from the spawn's "pathway," --- Thought it was a good way to collect a building material at the time.
Good-luck with cleaning up.

It's a simple task of cleaning up random pillars people have left behind when ascending the mountians, repairing the ground where people have removed a crapload of dirt. Little things really. The great wall near spawn (just offshore) will be able to indicate the end of the anti-pvp region for new players with a nice cosmetic look :D

Be careful of that water around spawn that thing is too deep to swim to bottom and back up, you will drown.

This is a nice project Roobarb. make it all nice and pretty :D

 

[Roobarb Pie]

I have a tactic, I'm getting dirt from underwater, using sugar cane as an air supply, i have an underwater underground area for mass clear out of dirt in case

 

[K1ngHoward]

If needed i can help donate some materials since i have a couple chests full of dirt if you need some. Same with cobble though that is mostly being used for my stone brick projects i am willing to let go of some of my supply of cobble :3

If you need any help, Utopia has a whole lot of cobblestone you can use.

[Danni122112]

[Defiant_Blob]

The UCON, once more organized, I believe would be willing to lend support.

 

[Roobarb Pie]

Only a small update today.

Collection of sand has already begun, alongside wood for the wall/boundary around spawn to indicate where PVP begins. Any columns found (except the one near utopia's enterance by the ship, i'm not sure if that's part of utopia) are being removed.

 

[Danni122112]

great work, if any recourses are needed (exept sand, dont have any) just ask me.

 

[Roobarb Pie]

Update time!

Created a public nether portal (occupying area under windmill base). Will be obtaining more obsidian for another portal located at the cave area below windmill. Will start building an "evil" windmill in the nether.

On another note, I have noticed that people are stealing the stone brick from the cavern and surrounding areas. Don't be a dick. Malcovent placed it there for it to look pretty. Also, I shall be hunting down the person who bricked up the pond.

Filling work with dirt and whatnot continues. Will proceed to start various forestry on spawn island (anyone okay for a snowy patch with pines?

Next update shall be the wall ( or rather, a roof and platform) surrounding the spawn area, indicating the end of no-pvp.

Edit: also, jk, you didn't steal much of it. There's been a hell of a lot of it going missing this week.

And another thing i forgot to mention! Nice hanging lighting to go into the cavern. If we want the old rustic feel, this'll do it justice (hopefully!)

Edit edit: Update for you! Added a portal with decoration to the spawn cave. This shall allow easy access to the nether for new and old players, and it also removes the risk of them entering a portal at spawn which does a jump to a sealed portal elsewhere in the overworld!

Another update! Aren't you lot lucky!

Now the spawn portal has been set up, work on terraforming the spawn area is underway. Could someone with a silk touch tool mine a single grass block and place it in the nether for me? Would be appreciated.
Public netherwart farm has been set up! Thanks aercem, I replanted for you btw). I'll be setting up a nether village around spawn to accommodate for this.

More stuff coming soon!

 

[Danni122112]

Amazing how much good work you are doing!:) keep it up!

 

[Roobarb Pie]

Just a quick warning, if you see me outside of spawn the next few days, don't attack. I'm trying to get obsidian for a little secret area in the spawn cavern. See it as atouching tribute for now.

Edit: This DON'T ATTACK ME thing is aimed at the luckers. I have bad luck stumbling across them and being killed by them in a few hits :L

 

[cheatyface]

I can give you a safe place to get a bunch of obsidian if you like. Just catch me in game.

 

[Roobarb Pie]

No worries cheaty, I've got a genius tactic of bringing lava from the nether and placing it in spawn at a secret location.

Edit: derped a word.

 

[James81818]

If any help was still needed I am happy to lend a hand?
I don't have many supplies but I'm happy to do the manual work :)
