Creations / Classic to Beta conversions: My Mansion
« on: December 27, 2010, 10:08:20 pm »
You might remember the lovely estate I built on worldofrecruits (now also on operators)


I've just finished a remake of this fine home on Minecraft Beta. It took several days to mine all 500 blocks of obsidian needed for the roof sections.
As you can see the beta version is a bit larger but still to scale and a nice reproduction.

Examples of good, detailed symmetrical structures



Examples of good, detailed non symmetrical structures



I often start with symmetrical shapes or outright blocks/rectangles whenever I start a building, but usually only to get the scaling and size right. Then the shapes are tweaked and modified to make something more than just another blocky building. Extra detailing such as windows, borders, spires, ledges, etc. all help to make a more realistic looking building and not just a giant box with no windows.

General Discussion / Re: What do you want to see at opticraft ?
« on: December 22, 2010, 06:40:12 am »
I'd love to see an Opticraft Alpha(actually beta now) Server someday. I know it takes a lot more resources and power to run one, but it'd be awesome to have one sometime.

As for the classic servers, it'd be nice if someone asks you to see their stuff, etc, and they're not in the world you're on, you could just type /tp <name> and instead of saying 'hurr not in your world hurr' it would make you join the world they're on or at least tell you what world they're on without having to type /whois.

Other than that, and the usual griefing problems, I'd say everything is great.

Projects / Project: Opticraft City
« on: December 11, 2010, 07:49:59 pm »

Credits to Hanno for the sign :D

Server Location: Operators

People allowed to participate: Operators+

Due to the lack of a bigger city map, I've taken the liberty of making the operators map into a city, which should showcase the best buildings and structures our operators are capable of building.

The city currently includes a road system and an elevated highway to help split the map into zones. More roads may be added on later.

If you're an OP and up you're free to build whatever building you want there, I just wish it to be a semi-realistic building. Skyscrapers are definitely welcome. As are other types of businesses and things that you see on the old city map.

Current projects within the city limits:
The White House

Built by: ironmaiden

That's all for now, if you're starting a project here it'd be nice if you to post it here with a picture :)

I may tear down the top and extend it another level. Only if I feel like it though. I like it the way it is. It's already taller than the max height of guest.

Rejected / [Operator] Application Computrix
« on: December 08, 2010, 09:28:55 am »
Name: Computrix
Age: 20
Location: Wichita, KS
Timezone: Central Standard Time (CST)
Join date: November 27
Forum Join date: December 1st
Current rank: Builder
Reason for application: This is pretty much the only classic server I play on. It's got a good community, multiple worlds, and lots of building talent. However, the server is constantly visited by griefers that mess up other people's work. And I've noticed from my time here there's simply not enough OP's online to handle the problem. Also there's the regular non-griefers that may require help or a question asked. My reason for applying is simply to give the server additional help and to contribute more to making it a better place for all.

Why you should become an operator: Ever since I've known the answers I've been answering people's questions, many from new users who simply want to know how to change worlds and stuff like that. I like helping people out with builds, questions, and would love to also help be a part of Opticraft's fight against griefers.

Extra information: I'm on almost every day and have been very active ever since I joined. If my application is accepted I will continue to contribute to the Opticraft community as I have been doing since I joined. Also, even though my timezone is CST I'm usually up very late, usually until 3AM (CST), when it is daytime in Europe and more people begin joining from those regions.

You really have some spelling problems. And a poll will not really help you get to builder, that's up the the admins to decide.

Creations / Victory Fortress
« on: December 07, 2010, 02:56:12 am »
I built this to commemorate my promotion to Builder rank. It took 2 days to build and still has a few things left to be done with it. It's on the Art server, as there is lots or room to build there. Go check it out!

This fortress features towers, cannons, walls, a moat, drawbridge, and a small castle in the middle with smaller buildings around it.

Projects and Creations / Cities, bridges, creepers, and castles!
« on: December 01, 2010, 06:50:01 pm »
This first set of things are all on the same map, here's a view of it: http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc275/TGMOS/Minecraft/map3-day.png
This was all done in single player, and all materials were legitimately mined except brick, due to its scarcity.

My giant suspension bridge, whose towering spires reach the height limit

A view of the city from above http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc275/TGMOS/Minecraft/cityview11252010.jpg

A massive, massive, 4-wing apartment building, with a total of 52 apartments and 13 floors. Took 2 and a half weeks to build, not including the mountain I had to flatten to clear the land.

The Mega-Creeper, an 8 level base shaped like a creeper. The leaves blocks used for the exterior are the only item obtained through an editor.

As you can see, I clearly spend way too much time in single player. I hope to someday create things as good as this in multiplayer :D

Also, if you're interested in what texture pack this is, it's Brown and Bloom, also, Ambient Occlusion Mod.

Introductions / Hi
« on: December 01, 2010, 09:44:28 am »
I was browsing the Minecraft classic server lists, and came across Opticraft, at first I realized it was a griefer-fest, then I realized there was something more to this place.

I've noticed there are places where they cannot grief, so here I am, trying to find a nice place where I can build online without the risk of griefers. Hope this place works well. I'm simply amazed at some of the creations in the griefer-free servers.

Anyways, Hello to you, fellow Minecraft player.
