    Bill Admin reacted to SheTolerance Admin in Welcome to 1.11.2!   
    On Christmas day @NickG365 gave us all a treat, no not an impersonation of The Flash singing Do You Want to Build a Snowman (though I think we would all like to witness that!) He updated the Pickaxis server to 1.11.2! 
    There are many new exciting items, mobs and exploring to be had so I thought I would write up a bit of a guide for you all, in case you missed some of the updates (I have learnt a few things researching this!) 
     
    Shulker boxes
    1.11 answered two things... What Shulkers are actually for and when will I be able to carry more items? The Shulkers, added in 1.9, now drop Shulker shells. Place 2 of these with a chest in a crafting table and it produces a shulker box, a chest that can be broken and replaced without losing it's inventory. When in an inventory they display their contents when hovered over with. These boxes can also be coloured using dyes.
    The Woodland Mansion!
    This places looks epic! A mansion filled with rooms and new mobs (which I will get to) These are a rare spawn, found by luck or trading for a map from the new villager, the cartographer. I'm not going to list all the rooms and loot you can get from these buildings, if you're interested take a look here. Obviously when found and explored on the survival world the mansion will never regenerate, so bare this in mind if you destroy one. Obviously any found in the mining world will be reset monthly.
    New Mobs
    There a various new mobs that have been introduced in this update:
    Illagers - there are two types of illagers, which can both be found in the woodland mansion. The Evoker attacks by summonding Vex - some small flying creatures that will damage the player. When killed, the Evoker will drop a totem of undying, this, when held by a player, will save them from death once, when used it will disappear. The Evoker will not respawn once killed. The Vindicator will attack a player with an axe, and if renamed to Johnny will kill animals - making a great mob farm!
    Cartographer
    As mentioned above, there is a new white coat villager. These offer two types of maps as trades. One to help find the woodland mansion and another to help find ocean monuments.
    llamas
    We have a new animal! The Llamas are very cute! They have an inventory and will carry your items for you. You can create a chain of them, a caravan, by attaching one to a lead, up to 10 more will follow. You can also decorate them with different coloured carpet.
    Observer Block
    This is a new redstone block that will emit a signal once a block next to it has been updated.
     
    Curses
    The curse of binding prevents the removal of the cursed item until death. Armour will stick to you! 
    The curse of vanishing will cause the item to disappear upon death. It will be lost forever!
    Elevators
    The update has removed the ability to move players and mobs around via pistons, however they have re-introduced the use of glass elevators! 
     
     
    We haven't just updated the 1.11, but are currently running on 1.11.2 which also added some smaller, but new features to the game:
    When using the Elytra, you can give yourself a boost with rockets.
    Place an iron ingot into a crafting grid and it will produce 9 iron nuggests, as with gold, 9 of these will make an ingot.
    If you smelt a golden or and iron sword in a furnace, it will produce ingots.
    There is also a new enchantment called sweeping edge, this can be added to swords to increase sweeping damage.
    And finally, the infinity enchantment can no longer be used with Mending. If you already have a bow with both enchantments on then keep it safe as it will not be able to be made again!
     
    I hope I covered everything here and hope to see you guys on the server soon for some exploring

    Bill Admin reacted to Seansbar in Hellos   
    Hi,  I've played for a week or two, I guess its time to introduce myself.
     
    I'm Seansbar, from the land of Galiee, or New York.  But not New York City, far, far, far away from there.
    I probably be mostly playing in Skyblock, although I've peeked at survival.  (How to you lock chests with spells?)
    Glad to be playing here at PickAxis.
     
    Oh, some more about myself:
    I fix copy machines during the day, and have 3 sons, so nighttime is busy.  So that makes me old, older than the average MC player I've meet.  How old? I'm 9
    Well, that is all for now, see you on the server!

    I will attempt to research a distributed artificial neural network utilizing Apache Hadoop for DDoS analysis. If this concept works I will then proceed to run around outside screaming in joy, if not then I will probably go study math.

    #1 - you get tokens, and what do tokens make.... cool things! You can get 50 tokens each day which can be spent on survival skyblock, skywars for cool perks. Just do /shop and see what you can save up for....
     
    So you have purchased all of the perks over all servers?
     
    #2 - the top 3 voters each month get a cash reward to spend on the server to buy ranks. 
     
    What? So you have obsidian rank across all of the servers? You have everything you could possibly need and the tokens are just building up?
     
    #3 Keep voting to support this awesome server. A lot of blood sweat and tears go into making this server as great as it is and we all want to make it bigger and better. Voting pushes us up the ranks and the higher we get the more players we can get. 
     
    Pickaxes is nothing without all you amazing players. We love each and everyone of you and we hope you love us back!

    Bill Admin reacted to Lilabounce in Hello there! :3   
    Well hey there! I'm Lilabounce, a teenager from the UK, who joined this server... Today! (And by joined, I mean I logged on for like 10 minutes to have a look around xD)
     
    I found this place whilst looking for a new server to play on, and I'm quite impressed!
    As I said, I was only on for about 10 minutes, and though there were very few people online, I still had some people welcome me to the server! (Which is more than I can say for most servers )
     
    I'm hoping to become quite active on this server, as I may have finally found the right server for me!
     
    I'll probably hop back online again later, and I hope to see some more friendly faces!
     
    A bit about me now, I guess:
     
    I LOVE video games! (I'm mainly a pc gamer, but I do play on console as well)
    I pretty much live on the internet, as I've been off school for a while with various illnesses. (Before anyone comments on this: No, I'm not going to die or anything, I'm just not a particularly well person :/)
    My favourite genres for anything are fantasy and sci-fi.
    Oh yeah! And since I haven't mentioned it yet, I'm a girl
     
    I think I've covered all of the basics...
    Sooo...
     
    Yeah! Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you in game soon! <3

    Bill Admin reacted to HOOOSK Owner in Yet Another Random Husker Post   
    Hallo, it's me!
     
    I should really start these out with "Dear Diary", but that's lame.  Here's an update on my thoughts:
     
    Last time I posted that my main goal with PickAxis atm is growth.  Knowing this doesn't happen on its own, I am becoming more and more dedicated to action towards this goal.
     
    Each night I plan to come home from work and spend 2 hours, uninterrupted, working on server stuff.  Then I will allow myself to socialize.  Don't be alarmed if I don't reply to your messages during that time.  I just want to be able to give as much of myself as I can each day.
     
    What's the first order of business?  I want to tie up loose ends around the server like finishing spawns and build projects I've started.  This should hopefully be finished by the end of this coming weekend.  After that I am going to focus on making more YouTube videos and streaming.  I can't expect our Ambassadors to do something that I am not.
     
    On the side there are a few other projects I would like to take on, but need to prioritize them yet:
    Tutorial Island on Skyblock Finish bigger player shop on Survival Find better, additional protection plugin for Survival Plan out leveling progression for the Skygrid server Plan out leveling progression for the Prison server Finish building the Prison server Make some maps for upcoming mini-games Work on the PickAxis wiki Build the new lobby etc., etc., etc. If you would like to help with any of those topics, please let me know.  
     
    As you can see, there is a lot to get done and since I don't want to allow failure (see last post), I am doing everything in my power to support the network.  
     
    We're already treading into warm waters with our player count goals.  Summer is a fun time to get your friends on PickAxis.  The more people we have on, the more fun it is.
     
    Anyway, I need to stop rambling.  If you have more things to add to the list or want to help minimize my list, let me know.
    I'll be seeing you around.
