Okay, it was fun while it lasted, but the whole thing was an experiment. And after the whole thing was burned after I left for an hour and a half, and noone was on when I left or got there, I assume griefing.
I have a backup, that I uploaded, if anyone wants to check it out, here.
I tried this last night and had quite a bit of fun aside from a few deaths.
(I have my bed placed on my heart wood so as long as the tree lives so do I as I just respawn back next to the heart wood.)
Unlike some of the others, my tree is a bit... aggressive. It wants to be the biggest and the only tree in the forest so I have this network of roots snaking out to where other trees used to be. (And now only my trees saplings stand in their places.) All saplings from other trees get tossed into the pond at the base of my home tree as fertilizer. Their logs are turned into torches or lumber. The only trees safe from me are fellow birches. (Mostly because I don't want to try and sort out the logs/saplings)

Tis far better to be a witty fool than a foolish wit.
Also, i have the Millinare mod, in which there are Human settlements dotted around, would it be considered rule breaking if once a week i traded other tree's wood with them?
I'm not familiar with the mod, but I would say trading for anything except logs is fine! Bartering with and for logs would be the same for a tree spirit as bartering with your own flesh and bones is for a human, or something like that, hehe.
Edit: Oh wait, other trees wood! Yeah I guess that is different. Slave-trading of a sort? :tongue.gif:

Well that sucks. :/
The omnipresent drawback at letting unfamiliar people unto any server. Never underestimate the anonymous' potential for being a ****, I guess. No chance of finding out who it was from the server logs? Who was online, etc.
At least fire is getting nerfed, but if anyone really wants to ass around, they'll find ways anyway.
ill give this a shot, this sounds fun
ill post proggress here later
day one
The sun is about to set and my tree is still weak, i have a simple protective dirt hut around it. I have used the wood of my foes to make "dead materials", and make a chest a workbench and a door.

I'm afraid I have no clue how to do that. I might try it again at some point, but for now, the server is going back to a Free Build/Role Playing server for people I know and trust. I'm just glad I got that backup so that the people that didn't do it don't have to lose their progress.
Anyone know of any other good mods for this challenge? It would be good to install them before starting, rather than trying to install half way through.

It's patch-time very soon though, mods might break today or tomorrow. I would wait a few days until they are updated to work with 1.6, in case things become hiccupy!

The server client (if you're using it) should display when people log on and off among other things if I remember correctly, it might be possible to use that to ferret out the crook perhaps. Been quite a while since I toyed with hosting a server, so I might remember wrongly.

The most wonderful thing about science is that it doesn't ask for your faith, it asks for your eyes. The universe doesn't care about what you believe.

Well, I found the Wall o Text log and am looking at it right now. Dunno if I can find out who it was. Still am going to take a brake from that Tree Spirit Server, though.
Well, I got as far as my first balcony before I decided I don't want to spend the time to continue building this legit, what with all my other projects and all. So, I'm going to continue building my tree in a creative style... It was a really fun challenge.
Oh, I remember somebody stating that if I make a whole room out of logs, I can be more than one block away (e.g. farmland inside the tree). Would you say this still holds true? For example, I have a 7 tall room - fully sealed except for the exit to the outdoors (large staircase) that is a 19 wide cylinder. If I covered the log floor completely with dirt, can I be more than a block away from the log walls, seeing as the room is completely contained in the tree? I would think yes due to me being literally inside of the tree, maybe with a stipulation that the blocks I am near must be natural (e.g. wool, water, dirt, NOT (cobble)stone or lava as those could be seen as harmful to the tree and as such to the spirit (me) if they aren't near a log)
I'll likely consider that allowed anyways, but I want to see what others think (by the way, that took so many stacks of logs that it would likely embarass a lumberjack)
Anyone know of any other good mods for this challenge? It would be good to install them before starting, rather than trying to install half way through.
Just thought I'd say that the Nature Overhaul Mod would add an interesting dimension to your forest, as your Tree helps to expand on its own.

I was in the middle of posting the same suggestion :smile.gif:
Nature Overhaul makes the forest dynamic, but it would need to be used carefully. You want to leave TreeDeath and Lumberjack disabled.
- Plants and trees grow, spread and die based on biome
- Lumberjack means axes will cut down the entire tree at once
- Apples drop from trees in temperate biomes
- Cocoa falls from trees in forests
- Bonemeal will make all types of plants and fauna grow
- Biome based growth rates
When ForestGrowth is on, saplings and apples will generate from trees TreeGrowthRate: Determines the speed at which trees grow from saplings AutoSapling: When enabled, saplings will automatically plant themselves. FastSapling: When enabled, saplings will fly further and faster GrowthRate: Determines how fast saplings are generated from trees
It would be appealing to live off of the apples produced by your very own tree, not have to start a separate wheat farm (which may also be trickier with 1.6, your first seeds will only come from tall grass).
I made a giant ,multi-layer tree in my survival. It's almost connected to my mine, and has a bed and everything. It reaches layer 115.
This sounds much harder, though. Wait... Couldn't you just never pick a tree?
Yeah, sandy island in the ocean. GREAT place to plant trees!
(EDIT: My tree is doing amazing, I am making an outer shell of logs. It will be multi-floor with windows (NOT GLASS) and balconies. I have many daughter trees that are supplying me with the wood I need. I modded in glow stone for a "Heart", and I spend my night basking in it's glow. Seems pretty dryad like right?)
I'll add more pictures of my tree's progress, it is actually pretty impressive!

Sounds logical for it to be allowed to me as well, since as you said, you are inside your tree. The very essence of your being surrounds you on all sides after all! :wink.gif:
Hey, could someone give me the server ip? I really want to try this out, and it seems like more fun if you can freely show off the tree to others.
As far as I'm aware, there's no multiplayer server only used for this at the moment. The only one posted for it earlier was taken off again after everything was burned by griefers. Most of the ones who play on SMP servers do so on private ones I think, while most play it on single-player servers.
Take lots of pictures instead! :biggrin.gif:

Isn't this kind of the goal with the challenge? To make a tree large enough for you to freely move around inside it?
In theory it would be okey to build an entire village inside of the tree as long as you are inside your mother tree.
I made a new world for this challenge and this is what I saw.
This sounds much harder, though. Wait... Couldn't you just never pick a tree?
