ustas55 3 Report post Posted April 28, 2012 I think that we should make an animal farm first. Then we can make an enchanting/brewing room with book shelves that are pushed and pulled by pistons to get a variety in levels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally would not be happy if other towns did the same as I have told the mods. Each town should have unique things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darrenstraight 2,330 Report post Posted May 6, 2012 As no location was decided for the animal farm or at least told to the community who needed something to do and to stop them having to have their own house animal farms (which I dont agree on), I've taken it upon myself to step in and choose a location. This new animal farm has been built inside a mountain and can be found at the end of the jungle region - turn right after you come down the station stairs. People who helped include:[list] [*]benjamine12 [*]darrenstraight [*]kcagnolatti [*]Penguinpow12 [*]ryanfenton [*]Steerpikesister [*]typhlosion17 [*]zmoo [/list] I hope you will all enjoy this new farm, let others know about it please.

darrenstraight 2,330 Report post Posted May 26, 2012 Maplehold has had a revamp....[list] [*]Pathways have now been changed from 2 to 3 wide so there’s more space and they go under the bridges better. [*]Welcome centre has been move a little. [*]Flattened out area behind welcome centre for future builds. [*]Removed the glowstone pattern from pathways, this was too glutted. [*]And more… [/list] There is only one side effect that I know of, your paintings may have popped of the walls or your pistons may need replacing in some cases also beds. Please let us know if you like the new changes, or dont for that matter. Thanks for help SteerpikeSister!
