[MEGA IDEA!] Cross Map Canal

you can call me pun, or the emerald king.
BTW i found a classic ace of spades skin for minecraft. cant decide between it and a full blown chicken skin.
Any thoughts?

aos skin master race!

If anyone can donate these materials for the canal, it would be very helpful.
TNT, Glowstone, Stone Bricks.
Of course, few diamond picks here and there would also be great.

The canal is a bit ugly at the moment, but we will worry about aesthetics after we are done with the whole canal project.

When do you play? Give me a time.

From What I know, 9PM EST is when Lone is on usually

Canal is stained with blood as of today.

Why? You were on your period?

No he murdered dandis and I for defending ourselves from him.

Provoked, Monsta. Remember that. lmao ::slight_smile:
My point is, you should not blow up what other people built just because I killed you few times.

I have a problem with the canal

the planned area where the canal is going to be goes right under my base, and when the canal was planned on being built it was going to be 15 blocks wide. Now it’s 30 blocks wide and takes up a massive chunk of land.

The canal is not nearly done. I do not know if it will ever be done. To be honest, I never understood the point of the canal when boats are broken and horses/rails are way superior in transportation and the nether is above that even.

So my proposal is - simply move the canal around my base. I will do the work, even. Seeing as the majority of the canal is not completed under/near my base I do not see why this is a problem. It will save both you and me many headaches in the future since we will not have to deal with building too close to each other. Simply right before my base make turn east, and then continue that way. If anything, this will be an easier and nicer route since you will then go through prairie instead of mountains, giving more visibility to the canal.

My other proposal is to simply have the canal end at my base. I can make a neat room for it and then we can call this project finally complete.

Tell me what you think of my two proposals Anon/Monsta.
Thanks,
Froe

EDIT: if we cannot find a compromise then I will simply live with the canal where it is, but I would prefer to move it.

Feel free to have a special room at your house, and to move it around your house.

I would help out if I had the motivation lol.

Ok I’m gonna move the canal just a bit around my base, it will not be much.

Thank you! Make a room there if you want to.

btw, if you are going to end it at your base, anyway, don’t really need to move it around at all. Just kill it at the edge of your base and create the room there

No, we are moving it around my base - not ending it there haha that was just a simple solution but did not pass

I submit that I will never use a canal for transportation until 1.9. Sounds like a lot of work and resources for a vanity project that just looks cool on dynmap.

Why not some roads leading in and out of spawn? Some signs and directions? How 'bout the bridge to Halfway Town and the iron farm? That’s not done yet.

I don’t suggest a new new spawn, but newer folks might use Halfway Town as a jump point to move west. That’d open up some new interesting territory.

Raise your hands all that have used the canal. Ever.

I used a canal a quite a bit after the water was added to travel to south of spawn, but I don’t think I’ll use it in 1.9 since they nerfed the boat speed at the moment as far as I know.

are you kidding??? they nerfed boats!!! like that was a problem??? anyways, big point about halfway town, why is there no nether path there?? just silly. takes 20 minutes by rail in overworld. would take less than 3 by nether. common sense boys
