Mines Finalized + Return Of Diamonds!

[Ever 2648]

Hi, hi! This thread will catch you up on mines and the return of diamonds. Not much to it since I've already gone into detail about mines in the past.

 

As of now (thread creation time), only the following mines have been updated and released: Public mine, 

 

For now, continue mining in the old racial mines while I work to bring out the new set over the next few days.

 

Remember! Support your mineshafts! No stripmining!

Mines:

 

• Mines are far bigger than before.
• Diamonds have been re-added to mines, as well as some other "treasure" blocks.
• All mines have coal, iron, diamond, and clay. There will be far more clay in certain mines.. Racial mines will have unique ore.
• Mines will be regened every two to three months. Feel free to build inside without fear.
• Only racial mines may be locked off using LWC.  Do not lock the public mines, you will lose your locks and may face punishment. Don't ruin the fun!
• A large public mine has been set up with entrances all across Anthos. Read below to find out where to go!
• Each racial mine will have two entrances.
• The entrances and exits look far nicer thanks to my builder slaves!

Diamonds:

 

For now, you may only craft the following items: Diamond blocks, shovels, hoes, axes, and pickaxes. 

 

Do NOT craft swords or armor pieces. They will disappear and you will not be refunded.

 

To compensate for the lack of actual Minecraft crafting, we're allowing you to create some other items through the use of modreqs.

 

• Saddle: 1 iron ingot, 8 leather of any kind
• Nametag: 1 diamond, 1 iron ingot, 1 leather
• Gunpowder: 1 diamond = 10 gunpowder (diamond dust). This means fireworks are finally craftable by the players!
• Iron horse armor: TBD
• Diamond horse armor: TBD
• Gold horse armor:

 

 

Thanks:

 

A big thank you to all my builders. I'm terrible at building and you guys did ten times better than I could have even hoped to do! 

 

Senda, Brandnewkitten, Zarsies, Ski_king, and Firespirit

 

A big thanks to everyone that helped with commands in the past:

 

Freya, Alan, Cappy, Viper, and Deco

 

Sorta-thanks to everblue/skullkid for testing things for me. sorta.

 

 

What comes next?

 

- Completion of the other mines (next few days)

- A guide detailing how much it costs to repair items/how much raw material you get back from smelting. (Next week~ or so)

To give them a bit of rarity as well as to give diamond more uses.

Woops, forgot! I'll have to talk with everyone today to find out what a good material cost would be. Thinking 8 diamond, 1 iron -> diamond armor, 8 iron, 1 leather - iron armor, and 8 gold, 1 leather - gold armor.

Oh PHEWW! Why dont you use the recipe from the minecraft snap shot before it was taken out? 6 ingots an any type of wool??? XD

 

EDIT: Unless of course you guys wanted armour to be more of a rarity XD

Didn't know there was one, I don't follow normal MC news! Like I said, we'll discuss it tomorrow and I'll edit the post accordingly. It'll probably be 6-8 ingots/diamonds+some other material.

Is placing the 2nd entrance to the Elven racial mine at the unused entrance outside the High Elven city- as mentioned in the previous thread, still being considered?

Yep.

I like it. Nothing really beats that age-old Minecraft feeling when you uncover a vein of diamonds after a long session of digging. I just really really hope none of them were placed above lava.

Oo, no! That's far too cruel. I am interested in somhow throwing dungeons into the mix to spice up mining though, but that's for the future!

-Fist pump-

"DIAMONDS ARE BACK!"

[Cirdanoth 190]

Your minions have done a great job, the Ruskan mine entrance looks brilliant!

We're soon gonna build a small port-outpost near it, and hope to start shipments of rock and ores all over Anthos.

 

(hey, 100th post. :D)
