While kip works on New Years 2014, research has begun on Aahrus' 2015 new years bid.

I'm planning something absolutely amazing, and it's going to take nearly a year to get it all together

First problem has already happened though, Minecraft does not like rendering more than 10 fireworks at once without very precise timing, something not really possible on Blacraft with all the lag. Rip my dreams of an incredible finale (< fun fact I was there; also the night my at-the-time 4 year old sister developed a fear of loud noises that still persists to today)

Also I'll need a ton of time to get all the gunpowder and string for the hundreds of dispensers...

Not to mention how my test world keeps crashing for no apparent reason, something I'll have to look into before actually trying this on Blacraft

ps bla if we could do the voting for this years location early that would be great so I dont waste a ton of time and not get it

minecraft only shows 4000 particles if i'm interpreting you correctly. that's about 10 large balls or a single large ball trail.

I'll help fund the gunpowder expenses for New Year events and I hope everyone will do that.

Looks cool. Also wow that video. Fireworks are amazing.

bla, about those windows at the mob factory...
"sunlight falling on the spawning block further increases the chance that the spawn will fail, by up to 50%"

also hopefully the serv view distance is more than 9 cuz 9 is glitchy with mobes

I know a bit of light goes in, but the building would look strange without windows, if production isn't as high as needed, I can just make more floors anyway.

kolok. but damnit, i have to make giant walls cuz if even 1 bit is open to outside, somehow light gets in

In other news, I've checked the Dynmap configuration file and compared it to a backup from September and a lot of settings that appeared to be related to rendering interval and such were different. I have no idea how they ended up being different. But anyway they are restored to the values from before the TPPI world so Dynmap should again be as fast with updating as before.

I just made this map for you to use if you want:

For the 2015 New Year event in Desertopia, which is planned for the midnight between December 30 and 31 at 00:00 UTC, I've made a spreadsheet like the one from last year for planning our resource donations for the event. Check here and enter what you want to bring to the event:

For comparison, here's the one from last year:

Today I'm considering if Smj can send his resources to Spawntown by the cargo rail (unless he wants to bring it using inventory), then I'll add my stuff to the train and send it all to Desertopia. This needs to be planned.
