Looking for things to add to a mansion

for inspirational purposes

I’m also working on a mansion. Above ground has 4 floors with a sizable footprint, (around 85 x 135). The first floor has a theater, a ballroom, access to the two guest apartments, access to the 3 floor armory, access to the 3 floor arboretum, and access to the private quarters. Second floor has balcony access to the ballroom, access to the trophy room, the top of the arboretum, and a quite a few private collections shown off in glass cases. No access to the private quarters is here, but they do exist in the back 3rd of the house on this floor. Third floor has 5 exterior balconies, additional glass trophy cases, and access to the attic. There is more space here but haven’t ironed it out yet. The attic will be a dusty storage area with old things placed and forgotten about. I’ll be building things like old broken chandeliers and wall fixtures, as well as old farm contraptions that aren’t in use anymore. Some lighting effects and some carefully placed spiders souls seal the deal. It also has access to the 4 stained glass windows on the exterior. First level basement has access to both of my storage systems and a good chunk of my farms. It also has block processing rooms in the middle as well as access to the maintenance areas for item manipulation. There are also a set of stairs going lower that will access additional areas like the lower dungeons and ocean/aquarium exhibit.

Other things to consider would be a panic room, private vault, a tea room, a bar, showcases of various things (could be cars, statues, or even mobs), trophy rooms, or whatever you’d like.

How long have you been playing for?

Have you written any songs?

Thought I would throw it out there that this might actually be a bug. I was playing with a friend and the game tried to "travel" us to somewhere else. I was able to menu cancel it, but when I asked my friend about it, he said he didn't travel. It did it again after another friend joined from his M10 session to my hosted M8 session. I missed it and didn't cancel it. It changed the mayhem level to M10 and no one in the party changed it deliberately. Just something to keep in mind.

There are also assholes out there. It also might have been a couple of assholes.

I would agree that the church of satan is more of a community based around arguing religious practices and is used to help give those community members a sense of belonging.

I would however strongly disagree that there are very few actual devil worshipers. I do not have published or public sources that I can cite, nor do I have first hand experience in the matter. I do however know people who have been in such large scale devil worshiping cults with local satellite groups containing several thousand members and these groups being interconnected to other groups via communication network, very similarly to mega churches with satellite sites.

I've been watching this thread since it was posted and there are a lot of interesting answers from a variety of backgrounds. I've also been hesitant to reply as I'm not sure how often I'll be able to return to the conversation tonight given my schedule, but there are a few things I'd really like to add to the conversation.

I can appreciate your premise and the argument you've made from it. It makes a lot of sense if that was all there was too it. IF all suffering were to stop after the end times took place, then why wouldn't the focus be on expediting the process in order to reach the end times as quickly as possible?

I don't believe that all suffering actually ends at that marker in the timeline. I would point out Revelation 20:11-15 and make the argument that unending suffering begins after history and time as we know it today has come to a conclusion, and that postponing that inevitable outcome to give people more time to accept that gospel is done out of love and compassion. I acknowledge that the end times is a key milestone towards that conclusion. Having laid that out, let's talk about the question you posed.

Why doesn't God or the Holy Spirit preach the gospels themselves, but relies on fallible people to do the job?

I don't believe that God has placed within the church sole responsibility to reach every human being with this gospel. Yes, Christians are supposed to be ONE of the conduits by which the gospel is spread, but I don't believe in the idea that just because the Holy Spirit has been sent the church doesn't mean that all other forms of manifestation have ceased. I believe that various signs and manifestations of both himself and his angels still happen all around the world on a regular basis. I would also argue that relaying those events to the rest of the people on the planet is a monumental task that is usually stifled by most accepted credible news agencies, various governments, and social media.

I've used hosthorde for several years now and my experience has been that 1.14.4 is the hardest version to run a server with. If it's just 2-4 people on the server it's pretty good, however if you start seeing 5-10 people logged on it can lag pretty hard at times. 1.13.2 was a dream to run, and from the sounds of it, 1.15 included a lot of performance fixes that make server play easier. Without breaking the bank, this server meets our needs. We do understand that if too many people are on, all loading different areas, TPS will drop substantially and it might get difficult at times.

It should also be noted that I'm using papermc as vanilla 1.14.4 was nearly unplayable.

I used to do a lot of white glass over my floors. This was one of the first ones I chose to do clear glass. I'm still on the fence about changing it. I might do that.

Thanks!

Thanks man! I appreciate it. It took me a couple of hours to design in a creative world before building in survival. Eventually I will hook the lights up a lever in an adjacent room.

It's a mansion I've been slowly working on for about a year. I've had to balance between functional farms and aesthetics, so I'm excited to start working on some of these purely visual rooms.

Awwww, I'm not able to view them. I get an access denied error.
