Dragons keep project is currently in the construction fase, the end result will be a large castle, with a dragon statue in the center, open to the public will be a black smith, and a public cow farm. The whole area will be open to the public, and will hopefully have project protection further into the construction. i am currently looking for donations of stone, as well as iron, gold, and lapis. if you would like to view the project go to my /home. please feel free to comment, as i am also currently looking for suggestions and layout suggestions. the dragon will look very similar to the one that stood in dragon pit, or my /home 3, if you would like to help with this project, please contact me in-game, or leave a reply.

I have been waiting for this! ;D
I can help donate stone :)
Thanks, il be sure to take you up on your offer ;)
i would love to help you with this boorad, ive seen it ingame as u know (LOOKS AMAZING)
That place looks awesome! I will definitely donate some stuff and $$$ if you want. Though one thing, a public cow farm, first of all, cows have been in demand since this server came out, so to support the whole community's demand for beef and leather, you would have to have a MASSIVE cow farm! Also, you should make it usable to only trusteds and up. I know that just disregards the "public" part but we can't trusted anyone below trusted! There are A LOT of dirty griefers and other people out there, like 97% of those people are below trusted so..... I suggest that is only usable to trusted and up otherwise others below who are specified!

glad you think so ;D
Dragons Cave Update
i have come to a decision what dragons cave will contain, a huge pile of gold with a dragon sitting on top, so, i am now looking for large donations of gold, gold ores, still in ore form, and gold blocks.
I can donate some gold :)

Dragons cave theme? Skyrim or The Hobit?
Ingame you said the Hobbit, I would go with that. In Skryim, you don't find dragons in dungeons except for skeletal dragons ;)
true, i still would like to see what the general population thinks is better tho :P
Dovahkin Dovahkin, Dovahkin of skyrim!!!1
Hobbit all the way, for i feel the pile of gold and the idea of it being underground is more applicable that way
Although fnv, the skeletal dragon only appears once in skyrim. And I do agree with the skyrim cave, I will help you out with the skyrim cave. Have it so there is tombs and stuff everywhere.

so, here is the news, dragons keep and 2 other of the greatest castles in opticraft, are coming together to make a nation. This nation will be on a different page, and i will be accepting applications to join our nation. The advantage of joining the nation will be great advertising for your city, and a chance to be involved with new and upcoming projects. The nation will have 3 capitols, this will include Qu1cks1lva's Emerald keep, b1uej0kers's Herobrines keep, and my Dragons keep, we will collaborate, and decide which cities will be accepted, and which will be declined, viewing them each personally on the ground, as well as from the live map. The amount of cities that we will allow to join is still unclear at this point, but i can insure you, the acceptance rate will be low, and only the best cities will be accepted. Please tell me what you think of this idea, and please leave any ideas, or suggestions you have for the nation. Although having city protection is not a requirement, it is likely that being a member of the nation will increase traffic inside the city, leading to the chance of more grief.
Thanks for reading, and please tell me what you think,
-Booorad
Booorad, it's a great idea, but your going to have a bit of a problem since your going against, the Golden Nations, the Province of Cornerstone and the Soveriegn State of Stuttgart (sorry igen but I can't do the little symbol, since I'm on my iPad mini). Those three castles are the best I have ever seen! And 'up there' with the ones on the Internet.
Although, I do approve of your idea, but there aren't much other giant, castle, medieval villages I have seen, except Johekl's Tudortown and knight_078jer's Archeleafstein. I am sure there are other wonderful castles on Opticraft, don't get me wrong, but I haven't been around adventuring lately, I'm stuck build my village...

Are you calling anyone below trusted a DIRTY GRIEFER!?!?!? If he said "open to puplic", do you really think you can just insult anyone below trusted like that?? It's very unfair if it's only for trusted's if it's a PUBLIC cow farm!! Everyone has a right to use it, and if it's protected, how could anyone grief it??
andersad, now that there are hoppers, i am making it possible, to just collect the leather inside of a public chest, and the cows will automatically be killed, and anybody can take the leather, this idea will take time to implement, but i will get on it as soon as possible.

Thank you for considering everyone in the big picture and not only Trusteds because that be very unfair, if it was only trusdeds they would take advantage of us and sell it for huge prices. Also, I'd lose to see the design of that hopper. Thanks again!
----->andersad<-----
;D cool, well thanks for your feed back andersad, and i will definitly take you up on your offer.
Nice idea, Booorad :)
so, current projects, are a rouge hide out, designed by Theone, and I, and i am continuing on my ship within the harbor of dragons keep, I will soon have the protection expanded to cover the sea walls, and some of the surrounding harbor hopefully.
Looking pretty cooleo
I'll donate some stone
cow farm is now up and running, it is still slow, but as i breed more cows, speed will increase, its at my /home, and to the left, just follow the path, and its near the windmill/auto farm area
Booorad, keep in mind that if you have too many cows in a small area, they will de-spawn.
ya, i have got to take a look at the design, and expand it further out, so that the cows dont clump up, thanks hammy
I could show you the stall design I've been using for cows if you want. I haven't had any problems with them despawning. look me up next time your on.
cool will do joker!
Are either of you having trouble with your cows jumping the fences? Never used to happen, but recently the darn things keep escaping.
yes, but not jumping, mainly just glitching, they seem to walk against a fence until they glitch through/over it, i fixed this by making it solid blocks.
That happened with pigs and chickens for me. Just double up the fences and you'll be fine. Or just stick with solid blocks.
I just saw that cows now have the ability to climb fences. I believe that was my problem. I was using fences to easily get in and out of the pens.
Here, is my ship as of Saturday April 20

Hope you guys like it!
and side note: you can view this ship at my /home boat, although this home may not be set for very long.
Awesome ship! :)
Keep it up booo, looks great!
Such a great build Booooored! Good job can't wait to see your future projects.
so, its not yet official, but kurdman and I, are putting together ideas for a new build. let me paint a mental picture...
a war torn land, scorched sand, and fire. A single knight stands resolute against a ferocious fire breathing dragon. this is what we hope to create, a massive statue of a dragon, and a single knight with sword drawn. This is somewhat fitting into the Skyrim theme, but i can assure if we go through with it, it will be epic.
I am looking for possible help and/or donations, although what we need to build such a thing is still unclear, i will begin formulating a plan this week.
thanks for reading, and hope you share your opinions and thoughts on this new project!
ps. if you are a good statue building, the help would be greatly appreciated :D
The ship is AMAZING!! Very well made
thanks Butterflywolves :D
