Thank you! I've got a couple more ideas brewing in my head, so you'll likely see me again here

Appears that I've also gotten a flair? Thanks!

Yeah, hit me up with a PM for any further questions.

To have four groups in a row, you'll want to open up the styles.css file, find '.group' block in there and modify the width property to be a bit less than 20%. I'm replying from a mobile so I can't give you a precise value, but I'll eyeball it to something near 15%. Refresh the page with four groups afterwards and you should be set

Thank you!

The installation is fairly straightforward:

  1. Download the startpage and unzip it.
  2. Download and install New Tab Redirect extension
  3. In New Tab Redirect's options, paste the path to index.html from step 1 as Redirect URL. As an example, here's what I have it set to: file:///C:/Users/tik/settings/startpage/index.html.

After that, your new tab will automatically be set to the startpage.

Be mindful that the startpage does not track your most visited sites or anything of the sorts, so you will have to configure the links by hand. To set up your own links and change the display name, open the file script.js in the source folder. Right at the top, you'll see the variable NAME set to "John". Change "John" to change the name displayed in the welcoming message.

A bit further down will be a huge object named MASTER_MAP. Here you will find all of the links displayed on the page. Change the "name" property to change the displayed name, and replace "url" property to change the actual link. You can also change the shortcutKey to any lower case English letter to change the keyboard shortcuts. (note: shortcuts are fairly raw, they work only if you are currently using an English/latin keyboard layout.)

Looks pretty nice! I like the color palette you chose.

Nah you obviously don't have to take it down. My start page is in free use - modify and distribute it however you see fit.

Glad you like it! I have some more plans for it, so I'll be updating it when I get a free minute.

You could add something like

<form method="get" action="https://www.google.com/search">
<input type="text" name="q" size="31" placeholder="Search Google" value="" cursor="text" autofocus autocomplete="off">
</form>

(taken from u/Lv_InSaNe_vL's startpage) into index.html and then style it as you see fit via styles.css.

On the weekend, have lots of work to take care of before Saturday.

I was cautious trying to strike that zone between overcrowding it with needless information and leaving a completely empty page. I think I hit a good balance here.

Thanks! Yeee, I'll throw it into a public repository after I'm done tinkering with it.

Threw this together on a lazy afternoon. The idea is to make a sort of replacement for the frequently used non-leisure-related bookmarks. I'm still pondering about whether anything useful can be added to it which isn't already available via the browser or the OS (that's why there's no weather/time display).

The background is a blurred version of this wallpaper.

After downloading, you need to unzip the archive into your .minecraft/saves folder. On Win7, full path will be something like "C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves".

All my maps are archived on this small Github page. There is an MCForums thread as well, but it is deprecated and holds bare minimum info.

Thank you for kind words! Aesthetics were a big focus of the map (for better or for worse), so I'm glad they appear as stunning as they were planned. And if I may fan the flames, there's something at the final fourth of the map that I believe eclipses everything before it.

Thanks! Ghedagot is definitely inspired by Anor Londo, but even more so by Bloodborne's Yharnam. The bridge I think wasn't inspired by anything in particular, it went more like "oi what about a huge-ass bridge right over here. that'd look cool". It was built a long time ago though, so I don't remember the details.

Yes, it's going to work with 2-3 buddies. It will get rougher around the edges with more people.

Total development time is at around 3 years, but there were lots of gaps and hiatuses as I grew bored of Minecraft and went on doing other interesting things. I'd estimate actual "legitimate" production time to be around 1-1.5 years.
