I saw that some people on this thread aren't knowledgable on portal dynamics, so I thought I'd educate. Everything can be learned here: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Portal

Basically, for every block traveled horizontally in the nether, 8 blocks are traveled horizontally in the overworld. The vertical component is normal, though. For every block traveled vertically in the nether, 1 block is traveled vertically in the over world and vice versa.

So, if you were standing in the middle of a portal in the overworld and had the [x, y, z] coordinates [78, 71.62, -129.5], than the same location in the nether would be [9.75, 71.62, 16.19]. You just divide the x and z coordinates by 8. The y coordinate remains unchanged. Undoubtably, you would multiply by 8 when going the other direction, from the nether to the overworld.

Now, sometimes the game places a portal in a different location. This is because a portal can't be placed without any room! If you want your nether portal to be in the right location the best you can do is remove the game-generated portal and place your own in the correct location.

And the most frustrating for players is getting to the correct overworld portal from the nether or to the correct nether portal from the overworld. This is where you want to pay attention.

You will be transported to the nearest portal within a 128 block radius of the destination coordinates (if there's no portal, one will be created). Most likely, your neighbor will have already set up some portals right next door so you will most likely be transported to their portal (or one much farther away). Once in the nether, you will want to navigate to the desired coordinates for your portal and place your obsidian portal there. Activate it and your all done! Go through it and you should teleport to your overworld portal.

The problem occurs when everybody has their own pair of portals in each 50x50 plot. This way, every portal in the nether will be on average 6 blocks from each other. This isn't convenient so it's suggested everybody in a 200x200 area use the same central portal.

Knowing this can help you out when traveling large distances as you'll have to walk 8 times less the distance, saving time.

As for getting stuck, don't go in a portal unless you know where it goes. Be sure portals are set up at the matching coordinates. It's simple once you get the hang of it.

I was a smart noob

I am looking to apply. I will message you the next time I get on.

I was applying for Terra Nova. :3

Funny part is I was accepted, yet never told so I went searching for another group and that is how I ended up in Trinity.

I was banned along with many others during the Great Minerealm Purge. But I must claim innocence! I have a mine on a realm that FlannyFlan and myself were fixing to buy. It is Right next to our home realms... It was cleared out and That is where i found the majority of my diamonds, legitamitly.. The entrance to this mine is
x: 369
z: -1049
This area had a lot of diamonds and i went ahead and mined them as i found them, due to it being on a public, not yet bought realm.
If it is any condolance, I can return what diamonds i have left, but these legit diamonds were used for our prizes at the Nex Manus Arena, so i have few left..
Thank you for reading my appeal, even if i do not get unbanned.

Well, I finally can post on the forums without worrying about my name! Thanks to those who gave me the advice.

-sliothar16, NOT kingwog

I KNOW for a fact that this was NOT my first post, but I couldn't go back any further.

I had been playing on a friend's account, and had made my user with that name, Kingwog. I didn't know how to change it, so I made a post about it. I then realized that all I had to do was create a new account and make a new email for it. So I did. I then made the dumbest move ever, by making an entirely new post about how I finally got my proper username on the forum.

And of course, NOW you can verify your IGN... so that's unfortunate.

[hippoface]

Most of these are hilarious. I'm happy I thought of this.

[smith2013]

Yes, nice idea Hippo. I didn't realize that my first post was that and it even had a funny story behind it. xD

[Vailure]

Sticking up for some random...

I can vouch for him as being a decent player... The whole temp server was a complete mess and others that were griefing (I'm not going to get into names and all that nonsense) are still playing now. Some of us tried to make due and put up temp places to live and they all got wrecked....so sure tempers might have been high but I can assure you when I was on he was doing no more swearing than anyone else on the server at the time. As for impersonating a mod, I never saw that.



Anyway that's my .02 I can say my time with him was fine.

[PaperTacos]

I'd like to appeal for my ban. Yes I know I griefed, Trust me if I could take it back, I would. I just love playing on this server. I'd like to get a second chance. I don't know what was going through my mind at the time when I took the mossy cobble. I'd like to get another chance at playing on the server because it's the only fun one that I've played on and its not whitelisted. I'd also like to apologize to Merlin or whatever his name is.
-Papertaco.

I don't have my very first post but I have the edited post.
I was appealing for griefing :shock:

[fndfilms]

I need an admin asap, I'll be on for a while, I really need help, I've been greifed in a really bad way.

This is when I thought sand castles were safe XD turns out people liked to grief them >.>

[RyGuy130]

Please, if this is something you support, say so! Don't be afraid to post. It could go a long way!

After playing on several Minecraft servers I decided to finally make Minerealm my permanent home. It has tons of anti-griefing mechanisms, a friendly community and, of course, its signature realm and realm credit systems for allowing players to purchase their own land fairly and efficiently without needing the help of moderators to do so. However, it lacks one major feature that is commonly utilized by other successful servers: a simple sign-based, player-sustained shop system similar to the one used in the iConomy plugin. Such a system allows players to sell their items to other players through signs that display the item being sold and its price. The advantages of one are obvious. Many people, myself included, don't like having to sell varied amounts of assorted unwanted items by spamming the chat with advertisements. Using the forum works for large quantities of items, but it's very difficult and inconvenient to sell anything in small amounts using this method. With a shop system in place, players will be able to conveniently sell items without even being online, and with the new spawn system being implemented in the near future, the current system involving the trade room won't be made obsolete due to players being required to travel to the shop to purchase items from it.

I also think a lot of players would support this due to the number of seemingly pointless shops I've found. Every time I run into one it's set up in a nice building with helpful signs everywhere, but there's nobody there to sell me anything (I can't imagine who would want to waste their time sitting in a shop all day, anyway!). So, I really think this would help out people who own these shops a lot and really encourage people to make their own as well. I also like the idea of what effects it could have on the server's economy. Certain items could become somewhat more or less valuable in far away areas once everybody doesn't share a global spawn point, and prices will become more stable if trading is made so much easier.

I understand this likely won't be implemented due to the amount of work it would probably take Intelli to develop something like this that works with the realm and realm credit systems, but my hope is that if it receives enough positive feedback he'll at least look into it once he's finished with all his other projects. If you think there are other reasons this shouldn't be implemented feel free to share them. Otherwise, show your support with a post

The one thing I've always felt this server could really use. http://www.minerealm.com/community/view ... =10&t=2987
