Decided to put water in my sky castle. Didn't put it exactly were I wanted it and flooded the whole thing out. The water destroyed all cloth structures and I I'm having a hell of a time getting back up to the point where the water fall started to stop it. :\ I'm thinking about abandoning it anyways since it looked better in my head than it did in game. :\

I can't believe how bad you are at this game. Go exploring, and find caves open up to the surface. The entrances to caves tend to have a lot of coal (black flecks) and iron (reddish-orange flecks).
Use iron pickaxes on gold (gold flecks), diamond (cyan flecks), and redstone (red flecks). Use stone for the rest.

Charlie whatever your name is. You did a pretty damn good job re-building the natural hill behind my tower which you previously destroyed. And you also made a very interesting lava pit and patched up the ground so it pretty much looks like it did before. I forgive you. :) Thanks for the diamonds too. But DAMN is sucked when I signed in to see my entire plot of land all mined out and empty and my tower practically floating in space. We can continue to be peaceful neighbors and I don't need to feed you to that dragon which recently washed up behind my tower (which.. I believe you built anyways...) -Slaughbart

So I purchased and have been playing single player, just to understand what's going on. The first few games I died a few times, kept starting a new world, I never found caves or anything. Finally, I start a new world that looks interesting. Snow, I like it. I wander a bit and find some pretty tall mountain areas with some rock outcrops. Cool, maybe some caves finally.. oh... my... god.. I stumbled upon the entrance to a LABYRINTH. Quickly chopping wood and making a shitload of stone picks and torches, I set out to find some ore! I like to torch my direction of exploration, not only to see where the hell I'm going, but how to get back. I keep running across iron ore, and a bit of gold! Deeper, down... whats that sound? Water? OMG, underwater river! More ore! I'm following the river when ahead I see some light. It's a column of MAGMA dripping down into the edge of the river. Wow! Then I see some RED ore! Oh cool! I'm picking away, and then I see out of the corner of my eye, a fucking cactus monster thing! Jesus!! I chop the bastard, since I had the brilliance of bringing a sword with me. The fucker explodes and opens some walls, and then I hear a fucking bow and arrow, and zombie moans! Jesus christ! I quickly throw down a wall of stone and block the corridor, sealing that area off. My god, did I stumble upon the entrance to hell? I begin my long journey back to the surface, to my forge to smelt down my overburdened inventory. After what seemed forever I see daylight again. Now I need to create Iron tools and some weapons and armor before my next foray into the dark depths.. what horrors await me below I don't know, but I must have more ore and jewels!

My contribution to Merc's server, I call it...home. It's a start.

Murry, Hemo, and I did some editing to spawn area on Merc's server. Now anybody new, or people that use /home, have to be let out of the spawn area via someone placing water ontop of a small tower. The person will then be able to swim out.
Draw backs are that someone has to be on the server, and they also have to go back to spawn without using /home. But if an op is on, they could just tp them out of spawn.
I only see this as being a short-term fix until merc gets the whitelist going.-
