Alrighty, makes good sense. I informed people in the server to check out this site for details. Clicking on the site link for the Marlark post will bring you to this thread.
Swoop, ass Mod you can /mail sendall and let people know on the server. So wont be bouncing off so many people.

We tried :p needs Forge mod for extra building recipes and blocks. But installing forge is a pain, requires you to splice the mod package with your bukkit jar and... its just far to confusing ATM. :p

ok so swoop told meh about looking into a resource pack for minecraft and this is what i found http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1452033-162-32x32-conquest-wip-with-placeholders-90/ i like the way this pack looks, it has an old gothic {not the gothic as in the way people dress}feel to it. i want this pack! so all i had to do is download it and past it in my resource pack folder located in your folder for minecraft and unzip it. i looked into it and i dont think there is anyway to stream a resource pack for all to view they just gotta download it. i picked the dark download just cause it looked better and there is also a new sound track you can find as well in the link above. Enjoy  

Research for the resource pack for the server went south, Resource packs are ment for the client, since graphics for the game are client side instead of server side, faster game not having to download and use the servers textures. You can use the above resource pack in your minecraft or any other for that matter and still play our server or any one else's just fine. Zaznzabar seems to have taken a liking to the conquest one, as he's been using it for a few days now.

yeah it revitalized my builds! made me approach it differently,.

also makes all the mobs, more intimidating!

Updating M-town visually. Adding some castle-like things and updating some "person". Added gravel for the road instead of cobblestone (messed up at first because the gravel fell on top of the mail tracks, fixed it all ). Visually updated the Windmill. most of these are ideas from another server I was just on. Also I bought a minecraft account

M-TOWN LOOKS BETTER WITH THE CONQUEST PACK. PLEASE USE THE CONQUEST PACK THAT ZANZABAR LINKED FOR RECOMMENDED VISUALS!

Been playing with FTB for minecraft, OVER WHELMED with new items and features. FTB is definitely for those SERIOUS hard core mine craft players and has a VERY steep learning curve with all the preloaded mod packs.

Perks are that you and your users of the server can enjoy more items, bioms and many more. Down side is the system being in the bete is unstable and all the extra mod processing takes an extra toll on your CPU and RAM caches.

Just kinda fun making a factory that pumps items threw a network of tubes and sorts them in bins. The whole machines is powered by steam and solar energy and drills the ground out and collects the blocks.

Or lil nymfs that you can spawn and give orders like farmin or wood chopping mining or animal care taking.

im on a long building quest, im making a pro boating course that starts in the sky and ends in bedrock. All are welcome to join in on this project. im planing on even decorating the whole thing and im hopen that more than 2 people's ideas go into this. you should have no problem finding it on the map. its NW of zanzabartown.

Also anyone else that wish's  to also start a group project like this one on the server then post it.




ive been thinking hard how to make this really sweet and i think i came up with a really good idea. what if i was to set up tnt connected to buttons that you try to shoot with your bow while your trying to stay clear of the hazards in the tunnels that can break your boat. but i also gotta think how i will make the tnt reset after the people leave too, im sure i got a plugin for that but thats way down the line. this is gonna take a lot of time to complete but worth it!!!!

If you wanna learn more stuff about all the commands you have then look here and search for it on google with command name and the word Bukkit.
