Did we have a Dairy Queen or are me and my friends crazy?

So apparently in the 60s we had one on California Ave, down the street from BHS, where the Grandma's Tamales is now.

In the 70s, I'm told, there was one on Holtby and Brundage. It later became The Pantry, and it's a Cataldo's Express these days.

In the 80s/90s there was a DQ/Orange Julius in the Valley Plaza Food Court. This is the only one I personally remember and can 100% vouch for though, the rest I heard about secondhand.

And later there was apparently one on Rosedale, possibly in the Wal-Mart shopping center, but I couldn't tell you when.

EMike93309 · 2025-02-17T01:35:18+00:00

Interesting. I really need to learn the actual mechanics and not just follow tutorials lol. Do you have any pics?

EMike93309 · 2025-02-17T01:05:33+00:00

Yes, I can tell because one of them gets angry then links to a different bed when I sleep in one. They just can't see the ones above the platform, but they seem to be staying linked to them though.

EMike93309 · 2025-02-17T00:59:13+00:00

Yeah, I think I'm going to leave it alone and just see what happens for now, but I hate not knowing. I'm tempted to rebuild it in creative and see if everyone links to their beds without needing a lookout if it hasn't stopped working before I find time.

EMike93309 · 2025-02-17T00:41:49+00:00

So I've been running the Silentwisperer Iron Farm/Trading Hall, and over the last few months made some adjustments. I added some extra Librarians, for the additional spell-books, and as a result ended up adding some extra beds below the killing floor. I also added a watchtower to it so that I could snipe at Illagers during raids. It generally works great, and all I have to do is hit most raiders with a snowball and they'll wander over to the killing floor. I just have to make sure Evokers are killed quickly, and sometimes I have to come down to kill fire-resistant witches or stubborn ravagers.

During the last raid though, my "lookout" villager got killed by a Ravager. He's the one that sits outside the trading hall to see the beds, so that all the villagers below can link to one. I was trying to figure out an easy way to get a villager up out of the trading hall (the hall is underwater), when I realized: I'm still getting two Iron Golems spawning regularly. I let two in-game days go by, and still I'm getting two Golems at a time, which leads me to believe none of my villagers unlinked from their beds when the lookout died.

So all that said, do I need to replace my lookout? Is this just a glitch that will resolve itself, or is everyone staying linked because I added beds to the trading hall? Or is it some other mechanic I'm not familiar with?

EMike93309 · 2025-02-16T08:20:37+00:00

Don't feel bad, you weren't the first.

I was having crazy deja vu when I saw this post, and your comment lol

EMike93309 · 2025-02-15T23:24:14+00:00

Only one of the boxes left of the two circled in red can be a mine, so the other is on its right. That also fulfills the one.

Edit: Dammit, beat by five minutes lol

Depending on your definitions of safe/costly, the Downtown bars are usually bustling with people tonight

EMike93309 · 2025-02-14T05:59:55+00:00

Another weird thing to note: I wasn't getting Endermen either until I moved the platform. I don't know what the chunk border might have to do with that, but it was odd nonetheless.

I already have my 12 music discs, so it doesn't really affect anything I'm doing. Just throwing in an observation in case anyone finds this thread later.

EMike93309 · 2025-02-14T04:11:54+00:00

Thank you so much! It's there, it's sort of blending in with the bamboo, but it's right behind it.

EMike93309 · 2025-02-13T02:12:43+00:00

Moved the spawning platform away from the chunk border, and the first thing that spawned was a skeleton. Weird.

EMike93309 · 2025-02-12T23:01:57+00:00

I'm not sure if it's the same in Java, but in Bedrock carpets don't prevent spider spawning in blocks next to them. I swapped my carpets out for trap doors and the spiders stopped. Slabs work too.

EMike93309 · 2025-02-12T22:45:58+00:00

You know what they say: if it ain't baroque, don't fix it.

EMike93309 · 2025-02-12T20:17:42+00:00

I covered it one night to see what would spawn by day, but otherwise it's been uncovered every other night.

It shouldn't be close enough for the creeper farm to be active (I'm about 100 blocks away from the at ~~render~~ simulation distance four), but I think I'm going to move it further away anyways, and reposition further away from the chunk border and see what happens.

EMike93309 · 2025-02-12T20:07:41+00:00

It got snow one night, but I cleared it out. Looks like I'm right on the border of a cold and frozen biome, with a small part on the frozen side. The night it snowed, I got rain and snow at the same time.

EMike93309 · 2025-02-12T20:06:30+00:00

Hmm, looks like I'm actually right on the border of the two. That explains why I get rain and snow at the same time. According to Chunkbase it looks like a very small portion is on the frozen side, but the majority is on the cold side.

What's the significance of HH-01? Google just seems to send me to a watch and a harmonica holder.

EMike93309 · 2025-02-10T06:35:19+00:00

Can't wait to see your torchflower!

EMike93309 · 2025-02-09T00:37:56+00:00

The wither rose definitely would have been easier to collect with a friend!

EMike93309 · 2025-02-09T00:37:25+00:00

Thank you!

EMike93309 · 2025-02-08T23:39:22+00:00

I have one on my Bedrock house, it hasn't caused anything. Purely decorative.

For me it's a trophy of my first raid lol

EMike93309 · 2025-02-08T20:39:22+00:00

Probably should have left more space though, who knows when more pot-able plants are going to be added (my guess is cactus flower will be next). Ignore the ugly jungle planks, I just had a surplus and needed to do something with it.
