So I'm winding down a marathon caving foray. I would have gone back to base already, but I can sense that this area is almost fully explored; also, I'm almost lost as it is and finding my way back to any stopping point would be a nightmare. I'm carrying 300+ iron, 500+ coal, 10 diamonds, 40 gold and some redstone and the mossy cobble from an otherwise barren dungeon.

I go down the last unexplored branch cave and see the partially explored ravine that will take me home.

A creeper ninja-drops from a tiny ledge directly above my head and kills me.

I respawn and get back to the ravine, but I forgot my water bucket and the floor is lava. I brought a bunch of blocks, so I build a bridge. I get back to the spot where I died after five minutes and fifteen seconds.

I'm having a lot of fun, though. Keep in mind that I am coming back to Minecraft after several years: villages are new to me!

Fishing is pretty interesting; I got a really awesome item (bow with Power IV and Mending) but lost it in the Nether when I was very foolish and ended up in lava.

My biggest project so far has been when I got hold of a Woodland Explorer map and followed it. The mansion itself was very cool just looking at it, but as I explored the perimeter I noticed that directly adjacent to the mansion was a ravine riddled with mineshafts. Wow, I'd never even seen one before! Well, maybe I'll just explore this before taking on the Woodand mansion...

Well, after I'd explored my way through a few hundred blocks of map distance, and acquired several hundred BLOCKS of iron, I figured "close enough". The mansion was easier than it might have been due to some of the Illagers having randomly wandered outside from time to time for me to take down, including one of only two or three Evokers in the whole mansion. It made wandering through the local forest a bit more terrifying, though. I think there is still one out there...

The loot wasn't amazing, but it was pretty good, and the REAL prize is the mansion itself! My current base is the adjacent "Garden Shed", but it's tiny and pathetic next to this lovely monstrosity. Once I finish the ravine-mineshaft-cave-ravine-mineshaft-et-cetera complex, I want to go into the Nether and build a railroad back to my original base. I love railroads in the Overworld, too, but 19,000 blocks away is a bit too much for me.

There was also a desert village with a temple just a couple hundred blocks away from the mansion, but the villagers all disappeared (presumably due to zombie attacks while I was exploring underground). Hopefully I can find another village a reasonable distance away to abduct and repopulate the desert one with. (I feel bad about it.)

providing I am not too busy should also have SFTP up in the next week or so to transfer the last save of the game to anyone who wants it, eventually I plan to all historic saves I have up there, but that may take a bit.

I am having trouble connecting, but the server seems to be up. (I can get to the map website fine and it is telling me what time of day it is in game and everything.) I am probably doing something wrong. I had many failed attempts and now it says "connecting" and doesn't fail but doesn't succeed.

--You said the port number is "the same". I found websites saying the old Nibiru port was 25565. Is this still accurate?

--what exactly needs to go in the field for the server? mcg.hansrotec.com -- mcg.hansrotec.com:25565 -- nibiru.dyndns.org (your signature has this)

--Is it an open server or do people need to be specifically whitelisted? If the latter I might need to be re-added because I sorta-accidentally converted my account when getting set up to play the game again.

ah forgot about my signature as i have them hidden, should just be mcg.hansrotech.com:25565  just the default port. pretty sure your an admin on this server or at least a super user.

Thanks for all the help.  Perhaps my computer needs to be rebooted.

[edit:  Same as before, most of the time it errors out as "Failed to connect to the server — Unknown host".  Occasionally it does not error out but it just stays on "Connecting to the server..."  But since I can see your website just fine it's probably me somehow.  I will try messing with my firewall or something.]
[edit2:  I'm in.  The problem was amazingly stupid:  I was blindly typing "hansrotec" just because it's his username, not paying attention to the fact that the website is "hansrotech".]

I took a tour of my old rail system and it seems to have mostly held up well. There were some easily fixed issues, and I think wick's station had some more serious issues—certainly once I started digging around in there there were serious issues if there weren't before!—but that's fixed now. If anyone has questions or problems, please ask me. Even if it's not my rail line.

I noticed that the red lights were on in the spawn point rail station, but the reset system I had put in place was still working perfectly. The booster was not so perfect because apparently chests used to be acceptable backstops and now are NOT. But that was easy to fix.

I am either being stupid again or I have lost /give abilities. I'll ask the next time I see you in game. But as a result of this I went to the tree farm near the spawn point and it was a horrible mess. Oak is a nice starter tree because it gives apples, and the wood looks fine, but the "big" ones that sometimes spawn are just terrible for collecting. And people were not doing a good job of cleaning up that junk.

I razed the whole forest to the ground except for a few trees that were standing on wood or stone. I don't know what they are there for but I didn't want to mess with anything "special". I then replanted the whole thing with birch trees in an organized pattern. This should be more noob-friendly to navigate, collect, and replant, and won't turn into the mess that was there before. The only thing missing is apples. If desired the farm could be converted to Dark Oak but I doubt anyone will care.
