I've successfully managed to wander far enough in the Nether to cause brand-new world generation in the Overworld. Planted me right on top of the canopy of a Roofed Forest biome.

It's going to take a LOT of rail and resources to build a proper minecart tunnel all the way back to my Nether hub. If some tracks and high efficiency + unbreaking pickaxes could be spared to assist me in the process, we could have a transit method set up before too long and be able to utilize this new land. The newer biomes are rich in new resources (new types of flowers, emeralds, etc). I don't intend to travel far in this new land yet, not at least until after the 1.8 update so we can obtain new world generation objects fairly easily after that.

Man I've been out of it the past few weeks.

Cheers me up to hear to hear updates to buildings and exploration on the servers.

Yeah, but in the meanwhile, I'm seriously lost in the Nether. Really going to need a team to clear the path.

I can be back on after this weekend to help out, i can get to joes warps pretty easy from mine... dont have any spare rail at this time though ... can donate some iron/ pick axes and time

major updates to nibiru - now on 1.7.9, all plugins updated except for swatchdog (seems to have been abandoned)

also return of creative gates, and a few addons to dynmap... see where those pesky creepers are !

I actually was hoping Nibiru wouldn't be updated. Can't fly in 1.7.8+.

Nevermind, it seems they've updated.

My stinking army of chickens, for some reason, won't lay any eggs.

there is a limit to active objects perhaps there is just too much stuff active.... i cannot remember if that can be raised in the config
