One neat little fun fact about the random OCW structures is that every one of them were originally built by one of our members in a previous Minecraft Server. Some of them date all the way back to alpha/beta Minecraft, even! One of them was unfinished, and @nincodedo and I had plans to make it into a randomized dungeon of sorts? We took pieces of our favorite base we ever built and tried to use the new-at-the-time structure puzzle pieces to randomize it for each instance. While we haven't finished it yet, a more important structure has, The Library.

In each player's structure, they have a chance to find their own relic, but in The Library, any/all relics can be found. Once a specific relic is found, no other copies will generate in any other lootable container, making them wholly unique per attempt. No, we did not keep these upon death, although we did toss around some sort of rare enchantment using Curse of Binding II+ that would basically persist after death for each level beyond 1, but would come pre-equipped and unable to be removed for the duration.

So many neat new roguelike mechanics this season! Legitimately one of my favorite improvements we made to the whole thing.

@Undead_Zeratul expanding upon Zedar's Forbidden Wing of the Library into a dungeon maze was one of my favorite projects for the server. The original is fairly small, just one hallway connecting a few rooms to the lobby. Each of the rooms were themed around a different block. The lobby and rooms are completely copied in, and the rooms got a few variants added with newer blocks. There's actually only one room saved as a structure, and all the other variants are created via block replace filters.

I'd like to update it and all the structures to the latest Minecraft version. Some day.

@nincodedo I assume the latest version adds new features, but are they easier to work with? I wonder how much more streamlined finishing our base will be, or what else we can work on adding to it...

@Undead_Zeratul there's not much changed with structures as far as I know, but I also haven't looked at all the changes. as far as I know, it's not any easier 😐 but there was an update at some point that made it easier to keep water out of structures.

@nincodedo ah, that's a shame, I enjoyed the flooded farmland nonsense.

Seriously though, shame that developing structures isn't any easier...

@Undead_Zeratul The jigsaw part is really the major headache. Getting stuff to connect properly shouldn't be that hard. I wish they'd add some in game visualization of what a jigsaw could do rather than "well you can just spawn it in and see how it goes". I can't undo that spawn in or debug it in any way.

There are websites that will show a jigsaw unfolding a step at a time, but that's all outside the game.

@nincodedo hmm, any mods that might help? Structurize or schematica or something?

@Undead_Zeratul technically yes but I've been trying to stay away from needing any mods to run the server. I'd hate to run into a situation where a mod is no longer updating and then I have to completely redo anything. granted, that's kinda been the case with Minecraft updates alone, but you know what I mean

@nincodedo ah, fair, I just meant more for developing the structures; I assumed those two helped working on vanilla jigsaw structures. If they don't then I agree, I wouldn't want to use something non-vanilla-compliant

@Undead_Zeratul ah gotcha, I haven't looked into it recently so not sure. I'm so out of Minecraft modding. Did you know I updated MC Server Description to 1.21.11? A version we never played Shared Hardcore on? I didn't until the other day when I went to go update it https://forgejo.nincodedo.dev/nincodedo/mc-server-description

mc-server-description

Updates the Minecraft server's MOTD with the day count, time of day, and weather.
