NEW: Sweet Real Estate Guide can be found here
So, as I've hinted at a couple of times, I've been working on a bit of a project in the game of Minecraft.
For anyone who doesn't know, Minecraft is what is known as a 'sandbox' game, that is, you can edit your environment to 'build stuff' ... in Minecraft's case it's a world that can be dug up, chopped down, and built upon.
Bigfooty has a couple of Minecraft servers, an old and a new. I, being old, use the old one. And in that server (that world) I am building a replica of the town Sweet.
footy_fumbler knows this, Hate has been in the game and visited me there, and others aware of what I'm doing include The Filth Wizard and RU_ . Eth also knows as he uses the server from time to time although of course he has retired from the Qooty scene. This might be of some passing interest to Quivorir and Gentlemen , both of whom had played this server many years ago, as did Wise Guy Sam .
So that I had easy control over the area I was working, especially the shape of the coastline, it is almost entirely located on ocean, with a veneer of dirt placed over it, over many weeks. This 'dirting' was recently completed, along with the major road network (equal to what is shown on the Sweet map). So it's time to go public. A number of grounds, old and new, have been thrown down in simple format, basically just the ground and fenceline, very little in the way of amenities.
These need to be completed, and of course an entire town needs to be built - the buildings.
Anyone vaguely Minecraft-savvy, or even just interested and willing to go get the game for the sheer joy of parking their arse in a pretend real Sweet, the server details are gained via here: BigFooty.com Minecraft
You will need to advise Chief that you wish to be whitelisted on the server. You would need to ensure you tell him it's the OLD server. The players thread is here but he always says to PM him, as he commonly misses posts on that thread. I can do the whitelisting but Chief should really be the one to 'ok' someone's request to join. Probably worth copying me in to the PM.
Well, there's no real big benefit to the game itself from this project, but it keeps me entertained, and I guess it adds some value to the 'world' that has already been created.
I'll post some screenshots next, give people a sense of what's going on.
