So, I just have a small update on the current workings of my map.

I managed to, while unaware, open my map in 1.8. I work on it in 1.7. This has caused a bit of a setback because Mojang removed Item IDs with 1.8, as well as reworked several pieces of code. This means that through the switch, I lose all the items in the chests in the chunks that got affected when I loaded them up with 1.8, as well as pretty much borking any edited tile entity. This results with me having to redo most of the loot I did, and fix any tile entities that got corrupted through the version switch.

To be honest, I almost lost myself completely. Just about gave up on the map. Deleted it, forgotten about it. But I managed to turn it around in my head, from: "You've lost all the loot in your map, you're finished with mapmaking." to "Hey, look at this as a new opportunity to rebalance your loot, and try a second time to do your loot, and see if you can do it better." And yes, I will have to reformat some signs, some spawners, excetera, but this was only a small setback that I blew up in my mind to unreasonable proportions.

So, yes, I will have to redo some of my loot, but I was lucky that my spawn area was not affected too bad, which is the only place I have command blocks in the map, as well as only a few out of the many signs were affected. I was even more lucky for the fact that my intro area still had all the items I placed down, which was the only place I really had did extensive loot placing. And the reason I was so lucky was because I never got to I1, I was in I2, and I may have stepped into the connection in between my I1 and my I2, through my orange wool, so I never loaded up the chunks of the starting area/most of the spawn. But even through that, I will restart the loot.

It may be a minor setback, but it is definitely an eye opener, and I am lucky that I only have been doing simple work on my map, and not doing extensive loot, custom mobs, and crazy command blocking.

This is a very intriguing feature that I'm surprised someone hasn't come up with before. This would definately be something that I would use in a map of mine. Maybe though make it like rotten flesh and only have a small chance of non-poisonous food. That way, players can take risks. It could pan out very well or very bad for the player.

At first I thought about "Monolith of Justice", "Haven of the Forging" or (totally different) "Mask of Nature". You can suggest names

I approve. I like "Mask of Nature" best.

Heyo peoples. I'm just gonna go straight to the point: Would you guys want to do a Strawberry Jam for April Fools?

In the skype chat we were talking about the theme being making a map that's the worse you could possibly get, but is still playable and fairly fun. Pretty much just crappy asthetics with some gameplay. Browneye came up with that idea. I don't know who would be doing it, but who would want to?

Btw, I can barely write today, so sorry if the style's a bit weird. :3

Ok, about the Jam, when would most of you be ready to do it? I'd like to see it done this weekend (we'd have to modify the date obviously, but it wouldn't take long to map anyways considering we are trying to make crappy maps) but I'm not sure how many people are available this week. Maybe we could just have it go until April Fools from Saturday? I guess we could just vote. Hope to see what you guys think!
