This Week in TottonCraft-Houses, Updates and PvP!!

Welcome back to the latest issue of This Week in TottonCraft! This past week has been busy as usual. First off, if you have been hiding under a rock then you may not know that we have updated to version 1.5! Version 1.5 adds many new features including, hoppers, comparators, quartz and improved mob AI to name a few. If you have an ingenious design that utilizes new features and want to show it off to the rest of TottonCraft let me know and we would be happy to check it out!

This week we welcome three new houses to Totton. Magnesiumbox has started building on an island just off the northeast coast. Among the buildings that have already gone up is a house built by him and Shady_Celt. Also, Divinepotato has finished the exterior of his house. Potato’s build can be found on the southeast end of the continent and features some barns and a few farms. Lastly, I, Ranger910 have finally settled down and built a house in the middle of town.

Also new this week is TottonCraft’s first PvP battle! Bjh410 has been constructing a PvP arena in town and it is looking good! When completed the arena will be able to host 2,3 or 4 player battles as well as booths for betting on contestants. Bjh and I decided to take it for a spin this past week and only one of us walked out alive. If you are in the area make sure to check it out. NOTE-PvP is against TottonCraft rules except in the confines of the arena floor and only with both parties’ consent.

That’s all for this week! Next week we will be showing off your 1.5 redstone creations as well as visiting some of TottonCraft’s little known but impressive builds.

This Week In TottonCraft!-What the Blazes!!

Another week has flown by in TottonCraft and there has been lots to report on! First off we would like to welcome several new people. Remontinger and Jwoodles were new this week and they are working on a place together down on the southeast coast. Also new are 58geobeat58, moonz1992, and RunninYote. They have been working on a sweet lodge just south of town. If you have a chance check it out! The following is a small gallery of images from their build.

Also new this week is the Blaze Grinder! As far as I know Zim did all the work on the new blaze grinder. If you see him online don’t forget to say thanks! It looks great and is a much needed addition to TottonCraft. You can find the blaze grinder by taking the east road in the nether hub. You will see the entrance on the right hand side of the road. Speaking of the nether hub, our old nether hub underwent considerable remodeling this week. StarfishBlack did an excellent job making it look nice and clean. Don’t forget to check out the panorama shot of the new nether hub at the end of this post!

And to follow up on a story from last week, there has been some nice progress on the new train station. Below you will see a picture of the new road and bridge which heads south from the station. Thanks to Illosophy for the great architectural design of the new bridge. It really does look very nice!

Castles, Carts, and Creepers!

We have several projects going on currently in Totton that deserve highlight in this weeks edition of….Drumroll…. This Week in TottonCraft!!

First off, MichiganMama has begun working on an outstanding castle. You may be thinking that you have seen every castle there is to see. However, this one is unique in several ways and you would be doing yourself a favor in checking it out in your free time. The castle-under-construciton is located at approximately (-70, -250).

If you haven’t been on in  awhile you may not have seen our new cart station. Illosophy has been designing a cart station that is state of the art. As of now it looks like a big discombobulated mess but when it is finished it will be amazing!. This is a project that the whole community will benefit from so feel free to offer input or donations if you would like to. Also there are lockers in the basement for personal storage and there up for grabs right now! Stop by and claim one for yourself before they are all gone!

The very definition of redstone cluster****. But I promise, it's genius.

And last but not least. CREEPER! Here’s a photo of me playing in the fountain with a creeper! Make sure to check in next week for more interesting builds, TottonCraft news and maybe, if we are lucky, an interview with the one and only pink-clad zombie and unofficial mascot of Totton!

He's really much happier than he looks.

This Week in TottonCraft – 24th Feb

Whats been happening this week in TottonCraft?

  •  The new town has begun to take shape, some plots have been planned out for people to make use of. If you want to build there please make sure that you do follow the style. The style is a combination of wood planks and sandstone with the roof being a triangular shape made out of stone brick stairs. Im crap at explaining, so the houses currently there can give you a good example :)

WaaWaamp's Place

  • The new people who we added last week have so far made some really cool builds. Be sure to check them all out!
  •  The new website went live last weekend, it looks a lot better than the last version! Massive thanks to devsforev for doing it all.
  • Expect some new members today and tomorrow, if you notice any funny business, please tell a moderator.
