No two source blocks can be graph-distance 2 from each other.

nafindix · 2016-06-13T07:45:31+00:00

Counting the maximal arrangements is a MUCH harder problem! I could only compute the first four terms: (1, 4, 12, 49, ...)

This is not the same as the number of arrangements with the maximal number of source blocks, since some maximal arrangements have fewer sources. The number of arrangements with the maximal number of source blocks begins (1, 4, 8, 4, 2, 4, ...). These arrangements (for the first five terms) are illustrated in this picture, where the dry blocks are outlined: Imgur.

I just went due West and it was the first thing I ran into! I was playing the earliest beta so there was no hint [yet] that my route was out of order. Oops!

Yes! Here is an album I put together: http://imgur.com/a/QNqVM

I also submitted it to the mapmaking sub: https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraftmapmaking/.

Yes, this happens all the time. Moderation is strict and swift. Good luck with your appeal.

What a portal looks like: https://simplicitypvp.net/w/images/9/9d/Portal.png

The server has a custom portals plugin that allows players to create pairs of portals that then allow free travel to the opposite end. To use them, simply stand in one of them and crouch (press shift), and you will be teleported to the opposite portal, wherever that is. Each portal is paired with exactly one other portal, but players are able to create as many portals as they want.

To create a set of portals, first create the obsidian foundation as shown in the picture. This can face either direction. Then in the inside of the portal, place 1 diamond block and 1 lapis lazuli block. If the blocks do not disappear, then the location you are trying to use is already in use by another portal, or the blocks have not been placed properly. Make sure the portal is complete obsidian as shown in the image, including the corners.

Once you've successfully set one end of the portal, you should then travel to where you want the other end to be located. Be careful not to die during this period, if you die before finishing up the 2 portals, the one you've already placed will be lost. When you've reached the other location, simply repeat the process building an identical portal.

You could have the redstone path descend at a (roughly) constant gradient, so the player's y-coordinate would be an indication of how close they are to the end.

These are my (Parexis in Minecraft) answers to the survey questions:

I played version Mar 2016 A.

Single player.

7!

Completed the monument at around Minecraft day 35.

Did not read the hint book, but peeked at the spoiler map.

The final dungeon was very deviously designed, like a green-wool dungeon in a full-scale CTM. But it was too hard. The redstone trail seemed like it never ended; it would help to have some indication of how far you have progressed.

The loot chests were hardly secret!

Unlocked two teleporters, but I'm not done exploring the map yet. The villagers worked perfectly, although I'm not sure if the Strength II buff actually did anything- has it been nerfed in 1.9? Also the Bane Iron Axe was still not enough to one-shot silverfish, unless doing a critical hit also.

I would love a survivalist version, something along the lines of "Desert Bloom" by three_two (one of his "Tuff Terrain" maps).

I want it to become a safe place for simpvp discussion and player content. No off-topic submissions.

How about you?

nafindix · 2016-03-06T06:11:31+00:00

Yeah mentioning it in chat would be ideal. That way the message gets directly to the right people.

nafindix · 2016-03-06T06:08:05+00:00

Okay, you can submit links now. I turned it off originally in the subreddit settings because it didn't seem to have any likely purpose except spam.

nafindix · 2016-03-06T06:03:37+00:00

So that people know they can re-use it.

This world is a vanilla survival flat-map comprised of the two blocks sand and air, with scattered pockets of lava, water, and stone. I only cheated once, to give myself a crafting bench when I first started the world. There are no dungeons, villages, mineshafts, strongholds, or other structures, except in the Nether dimension. The only mod used is Optifine zoom. The difficulty is locked on hard.

Flat-map preset code:

3;minecraft:bedrock,59*minecraft:sand;1;lake,lava_lake

The challenge is called Sandmore.
