What about this?

Not vanilla though. Sadly...
Can someone tweet Dinnerbone Foreverabone about it? (my internet is about to run out, no time)

Lava is almost indestructible. Not the safest lighting source, but it won't break at least.

Lol, I passed "We all burn" from SH 14 almost cheating way: invisibility potion + fire resistance potion

NR Progress Report:

- Magenta Wool get.
- Gold Block get.

With a cobble generator, the bedrock stalactites area was surprisingly easy.
Got tons of cobblestone, turned all of them into slabs, then used pistons to make a bridge to the wool with safety rails.
Then I sprint-jumped down to the Fleecy Box, got the wool, then pillared back up.
Vechs, fix your maps! Mobs no longer spawn on Bedrock!

Using potions is not cheating.
I think invisibility is a bit cheap, it's basically a free pass to complete an area.
Maybe Winnerbone could change it that if you place/destroy blocks while invisible, mobs will investigate the spot where the last action found place.

For Waking Up, is there a second enchanted paper?

Yes, in the Legion Halls Lewt Box. It's the same level though.

Got the blue and cyan wool (still haven't beaten Tacos yet). But that means I still need two more wools plus the gold and diamond blocks. Is there another intersection somewhere? Because the only area I haven't completed yet is Tacos.

Generally that wouldn't help because if you're doing that then you're on the run against the duration of the potion, so you won't be going slow enough for that to help.

Which wools do you need? (There isn't another Intersection, but I think I know which 2 wools you're missing. As for the blocks, try looking down in the Nether)

Sorry, three more wools-- purple, red, and black.

Go further from the blue into the red yonder.

Community Question:

Is there a program like WorldEdit (without the weird cave holes) that I can use to smooth land?

I want to have natural land, but vanilla MC doesn't have random holes:

Spoiler:

Like this.

I don't want to downgrade now that I've added customized spawners and potions, and I don't want to fill in all the holes myself.

Help?

Use worldpainter, especially for open-sky areas. 'tis wonderful.

Since you've already made this area... inHaze's fill brush may help.

Does Worldpainter work to create floating areas?

[izakthegoomba]

Also: I'm putting together the loot chests that I'm going to use for my CTM map(s), and one of the enchanted items I'll be giving out is the "Rocksmasher", with five different levels. It's somewhat like Vechs' power miners, but with a far more noticeable progression. It starts at Eff VI wood and ends with Eff X diamond...

Anyway, do you guys think putting Silk Touch on the diamond one instead of Fortune is an appropriate way of balancing the inherent overpowered-ness of an Eff X diamond pick? Or is that just annoying?

I haven't spent enough time messing with it to know everything it can do, but I don't think so.

I think that's kind of annoying, but are you doing it so that people can't just mine a whole bunch of stuff?

It depends on how many ore veins you are adding.

They're an explosion resistant light source. Currently every light source... EVERY light source... can be easily destroyed. I think it's a small price to pay.

Well, the point I was inferring was to combine the two crafting steps into one, kind of like TNT. (Although personally I'd actually prefer plain glowstone as opposed to lamps.) Tedium is not difficulty.

I'm not concerned about the player getting crazy amount of coal, redstone, and lapis, especially considering the Level 5 wouldn't be given out until right near the end of the map. It's diamonds that concern me, especially if I'm strictly limiting them - high levels of fortune become very unpredictable.

And with silk touch you can still get a ton of building materials, stone is just as good as cobble (actually better if you need to dig it back up in a hurry).

Pssssst!

Spoiler:

Diamond is in the nether, go through Fluffy Bunnies, there's a secret exit that leads to the dungeon with red and black wool. Also purple is in Tacos

If the diamonds aren't going to be near the end of the map, then it's fine, but if you can get tons then it shouldn't matter.

No, that's the problem; if I give out, say, 27 diamond ore and a Rocksmasher Level 5 reasonably close to each other because they're both endgame-tier, and the Rocksmasher has Fortune 5 on it, then the actual number of diamond they get is going to be really random. The fortune IV pick in the latest version of Waking Up is bad enough...

And I do not see myself giving out tons of diamonds under any circumstances. Tons of diamonds + enchanting means there WILL be people who spend enough time to get full Prot IV diamond armor, and that's crazy-overpowered.
