I made it to the realm- I live all the way across the map- and then I fell in accidentally due to lag and lost my iron armor, enchanted sword and bow, and a whole bunch of flowers and mob spoils.

I'm sorry Meowrocket. For all that you've done at Sub Aurora, you didn't deserve that.
I tried looking for your gear but I was unfortunately too late to find any.

I also apologize for any equipment that may have been damaged in the process of raging, whether that be a mouse, keyboard or punched monitor.

For the future I advise you take the nether path, it is a lot faster and the way to Sub Aurora is very simple. It's also best to take teh nether path when there is a lower risk of campers at the spawn portal.


In the mean time we have continued to work and polish the plan. Construction continues to proceed and we'll also update when new materials are needed. Thank you for all your generosity thus far.

Mitchie, iBiS, Sparkyman and myself will return to school in February, we hope to have as much of Sub Aurora completed as we can.

Thanks and see you online,
Jpot

PS, sorry there are no pictures for this update.

Progress Report!

Designing of all the buildings is completed on the creative server for now. Here are some screenshots to show our progress copying them into Survival.



As you can see, the construction is quite... unstructured. We're just building parts of whatever. This is mainly because only James_Potter and I are actually helping build. We all know iBiS is a lazy peice of.... never mind.

However, I can't claim he's completely useless. iBiS recently took it upon itself to begin terraforming a lake on the surface that will eventually be the source of any and all water flowing into Sub Aurora.



After construction of the main city is complete I will work on making an aquaduct system to bring the water to this lake from a nearby mountain which should be quite cool. I'll also add a watermill which will provide 'power' to the city. Remember, although this city is very much designed for its aesthetics, it should be eventually functional, and we're creating a market district and so on. Houses in the walls should even allow people who we trust to live here.

Here's a cool screenshot I snagged during a major lighting glitch, thought it was quite cool.



Also, to rap up, we now own 24 out of the 25 realms in the 5x5 realm grid that we have recently been working on acquiring.

Thank you to everyone who has donated recently, and thank you to those who continue to donate! We still need over 1500 spruce logs, so if you have any spare we greatly appreciate them. We're not short on credits ourselves, but if you happen to have any that you can throw our way we can put them to great use.

Thanks again!

Mitch

It's ironic that you observe your slow(ish) and sporadic construction and yet reject offers, at least from me, to help.
Please don't take offense to this, as I mean none. No hard feelings.

The build itself looks amazing, and has changed a lot since I last visited. I hope to see it completed soon.

I would totally let you help, in fact I would love to. Thing is, its incredibly difficult for people to help us, especially with me not being able to run my server 24/7. Another thing is, I'm not willing to let people I don't trust work on these realms, but Eet, I totally trust you, so no worries there. If you do want to help try and get onto me in game and make your way to SA, i'll give you permissions to our storage and such so you can work on any building you please. Only prerequisites is that you can multiclient/have incredibly good memory to copy buildings block for block from my private server xD

It wont be easy helping out now, we're no longer just digging

Anyone else that wants to help, PM me in game, but if I don't know you extremely well don't be surprised if I disappoint you.

P.S. Our sporadic buildings is mainly due to the fact that Minecraft is no longer by any means our 'main' game. Almost all of us who originally planned Sub Aurora play a lot of different games now. With iBiS almost entirely 'hating' Minecraft for lack of a better word its very difficult for me to motivate him to help.

Hey guys, just a little update for today.

We've continued to chip away at some buildings, but are running quite low on resources.

Some things that we need are:
All different kinds of wood except jungle. Preferably logs. (Priority)
Coal
At least just 2 stacks of white wool.
Bookshelves or materials to make books.

Our progress will be slowed due to school commencing next week.

Thats all for now. Thanks for all your continued support of Sub Aurora.

I think you guys really should fence it off, and make a safe path down to it. It sounds like many people keep falling in it, and loosing all their stuff. I would kind of consider this an unmarked trap, even though its not a trap. It's looking great though!
