CommanderCrazy Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Yeah, it wouldn't let me connect when it was up anyway. I got errors ranging from Bad Login (?) to Server Timeout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethre Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 It happens. Good time to play some singleplayer. Hope you're doing well James. We will see you on the flip side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderCrazy Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Now, time to start a mini topic! What is everyone's favorite/most useful mining style?Include pictures if possible. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDStudios Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Derp... Dig Straight Down... Na only kidding. There isn't really a style to it... just point an click. I usually dig/mine in 2's though just so I can walk through what I've done =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted1217574User Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Generally, I build myself a room and torch it and protect it from creepers, and then start digging down in a 1x3 mine until I reach bedrock. Then, I just expand laterally, until I find the materials I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argomirr Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Dig Straight Down...That's not a mining style, that's a religion! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZ1029 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) I have two mining styles. One's 'legit' and one 'cheats'. The 'cheat' one I use cartographer and then dig for cave systems, because I think they're fun to explore when I'm not playing on peaceful. The 'legit' method, I build a 'temple' (pyramid, base of 15x15) usually. I fill that with storage chests, usually one with picks to mine with and then the rest are just storage for the mined stuff. Sometimes I also build random and arbitrary things like waterslides on top, but that's irrelevant. Anyways, from there I usually dig down about 6 squares. (Two squares for a floor, the other 4 for a room) Then I dig out a 20x20x4 for the base of my mining operation. From there, I pick a corner and dig a 1x2 shaft straight down. (1x2 so I can bounce back and forth between the two while I dig the other, and don't have to worry about coming across a nasty surprise. (read: caves could fall into) Is it practical? Not really. Is it creative? I like to think so. Is it fun to build? Yep. In the end you have a bunch of Mayan temples all over your world with a massive tunnel system running between them all. EDIT: Also, when I find caves by legitimate means, I usually connect them to at least three or four other shafts, sometimes with minecart systems.

ub3rman123 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Has the IP for the server changed? I haven't been able to log into it for a while now with the IP in my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted1217574User Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 The Nexus Server? Apparently, the guy who was running it hasn't been on in a while. Someone said that an attempt to contact him had been made, but I dunno how that all turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethre Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I'll post if I hear back from him. I hope he's doing alright. If we don't hear anything by this Sunday though, I'll seriously look into renting a host for a bit. More information to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
