I can see why people would think that. Especially if they think of chicken wings instead of chicken nuggets like what I think you were aiming for.

As much as you think an internet relationship may be a relationship while you're a teenager, you'll look back on those days later on life and wonder "what was I thinking?". Take it from someone who grew up in the days of AOL Instant Messenger and online chatrooms before Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/MySpace even existed, and just don't bother. If you really care about someone and want to pursue anything more than a "pen pal" friendship, make sure you regularly see eachother in person. It's so easy to pretend to be someone that you're not when you're never communicating face to face.

Back when I was a kid in the 1990s, the internet hadn't even come out yet. Cell phones were the size of toasters, cost as much as an old car, and could only make voice calls. Email was something parents could only do at work and texting wasn't even thought up yet. Televisions only had 8 channels.

It's kind of funny to hear people being so bored when their technology breaks when we didn't even have it in the first place :P. Do what we used to do and go for a walk, find some dirt trails to explore, ride a bike, go swimming, read a book, draw a picture, play some board games, build a LEGO city, etc.

They can be absolutely huge, and I think they always have a portal room. Sometimes mineshafts and ravines cut through them, and sometimes parts of them can do almost down to bedrock. Here's someone else's screenshot of a stronghold with the ground around it removed:

I once completely disassembled a stronghold and ended up with at least a large chest of cracked stone bricks, another large chest of mossy stone bricks, and I think even more than a large chest of regular stone bricks, plus a ton of other things. I ended up with empty cube-shaped rooms underground that were absolutely massive.

Also, I see you have wireless drivers loaded... tell me you aren't trying to run a server wirelessly...

It's not that bad. I've been running my internet Minecraft server and local media server on wireless for 2 and a half years now. I was going to put in CAT6 down through the walls, but decided that wireless was just easier. Haven't had a single issue with it all this time. The wireless connection is much faster than the internet connection (as it would be for just about anyone), so it's not going to be a bottleneck.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Hello Minecraft-Community, this is my first post in the English Minecraft-Forum (normally I'm posting in the German forum, so sorry for any written mistakes), but now about the topic:

10 months ago I started my first major project in Minecraft which is bigger than anything I've built before. My idea was to build a massive road network with all important things as road signs, road markings and also different types of roads (e.g. Autobahnen or country roads). But as we all know it is nearly impossible to build realistic roads in Minecraft and that's why I used the RoadWorks mod to make my roads look realistic. I also used the Biomes O' Plenty mod to have a more realistic and diverse landscape.

Enough text now a map from above where you can see all of the roads (right click "open in new tab" to zoom):

Nothing shows better how big the world is than this Video:

Cinematic:

Here is the download of my map. You will need some mods and you should follow the install instructions that I've written down in a README. Please never use my map on PUBLIC servers or upload it again without asking me. You can make videos about it but you have to link this thread or my YouTube channel in your description. The following Mods are required:

[Update] Dec. 24th, 2013:

Crafting Azeroth version 1.0 has been released!

Download Now: CraftingAzeroth-v1.0-release.torrent (6.8 GB)

Crafting Azeroth v1.0 includes over twice the content of the original beta version, including the new continents of Outland, Northrend and the Great Sea, in addition to the original continents of Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. Additionally, many zones that first appeared in the beta version have been re-generated using newly added blocks and features. To learn more about v1.0, you can view screenshots in the updated image gallery, read the included readme file, or explore the interactive map in your browser.

[Update] Jan. 23rd, 2014:

There is a nice Mac OS X installation guide Link Removed. Thanks Joshua Reeves!

May. 17th, 2014:

Someone asked me to modify CA-Static and CA-Teleport so they would only affect the Crafting Azeroth map, so I made a separate version of both plugins that checks the world name before applying any changes. You can download them here and here.

About this project:

The Crafting Azeroth project is a full-scale reproduction of the World of Warcraft environment for Minecraft. The creation of the map is heavily automated, assisted by custom software that I have developed. The best way to explore the map is inside Minecraft, but you can also view the map in your browser by clicking the link below:

Screenshots of the map can be seen in the following galleries, including all new screenshots of Outland and Northrend. If you are unfamiliar with World of Warcraft, the "Before and After" gallery will show comparison screenshots between World of Warcraft and Minecraft:

Additional information about the map and many older screenshots are available in this this archived post.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q. How does the conversion process work?

A. Custom software converts the continents of World of Warcraft into Minecraft blocks using a process known as voxelization. This software converts everything in the game, including all the buildings and natural details, down to the individual tree stump. Once the parameters for the software have been set, the conversion process takes approximately 48 hours and requires no human intervention.

Prior to the conversion process, I needed to match textures from World of Warcraft to the appropriate material in Minecraft. For example, an object with a wooden texture might be converted into wooden planks, while an object with a mossy texture might be converted into mossy cobblestone. I created a special software tool to help perform this assignment, but selecting materials for all 10,000+ textures in the game still required many hours of work.

Q. How large is the world?

A. The current version of the map spans approximately 500 square kilometers and contains over 100 billion blocks. The highest part of the world, the peak of Mt. Hyjal, stands more than a kilometer above sea level. Since the map exceeds the Minecraft height limit, the world had to be divided into seven altitude layers, each connected via a server-side plugin that Link Removed as they approach the height limit. To be played locally, the map requires 22 gigabytes of available hard-drive space.

Q. Does the world include underground areas, like dungeons and caves?

A. Yes, the map includes all caves and dungeons that are not part of a separate instance. So, areas like Blackrock Mountain are freely accessible, but dungeons like Blackrock Depths or Molten Core are not. The map also includes many randomly generated caves similar to those found in Minecraft.

Q. Do you plan to convert any other zones, such as Pandaria?

A. Yes, work has already started on Pandaria, but it will take a bit more time before the zone is ready to be released. The conversion process can also be used on dungeons and battlegrounds, so they may appear at a later date, but they are not top priority right now.

Q. Where can I download a copy of the map?

A. The full map is available to download right now, just click the BitTorrent link at the top of this post, or download from this mirror. If you don't want to download the map to your computer, you can explore a read-only version of the map by adding wow.cursecraft.com to your in-game server listing.

(new) Q. I downloaded the map, but now I'm stuck in Outland. What do I do?

A. Entering the Dark Portal in Hellfire Peninsula should return you to the Blasted Lands in Azeroth, just as it does in World of Warcraft. If the portal takes you to the Nether instead, you may not be using the correct plugins. Check the readme file for instructions on how to download and install a Bukkit server with the required plugins. The readme also lists some useful /tp commands for teleporting to key locations.

(new) Q. The game runs really slow when I'm near a jungle. How can I fix this?

A. There are two important things you can do. First, set your graphics in Minecraft to "fast", so that leaf blocks are opaque rather than transparent. Second, make sure that you are running the map on a Bukkit server with CA-Static-1.0 plugin correctly installed. Doing both of these things will greatly improve performance in large jungles and forests and should also help preserve the map from damage.

(new) Q. Can your software convert games other than WoW?

A. The same technique could be used on other games, but it would require a tremendous amount of additional work. The converter would need to be adapted to handle different file formats and then specially configured for the new data set. This is a very time-consuming and technically challenging process, so I have no plans to use the software to convert other games.

Q. Who is involved in this project?

A. The conversion software for this project was developed by Rumsey (RamsesA). Hosting support for the Minecraft server is provided by Cursecraft, and in particular Martin Benjamins (Marlamin), who helps manage the server directly. The mapping software used to generate the Google Maps view of the project was developed by the Minecraft Overviewer team.

For a more detailed list of credits, please consult the readme file. Special thanks also goes to Alan J. Lee for offering to redirect the craftingazeroth.com domain to this page.

Q. Who can I contact if I have more questions?

A. In addition to posting here, you can contact me via [email protected] or Twitter, or send a private message through this website. If I do not respond right away, check if it's something covered in the readme or this FAQ.

A long distance relationship is fine, but if you've never seen eachother and are still dating I don't really see it as dating.

If I remember correctly it needs to be an internal drive in order to be the primary drive.

If you want to administrate it yourself prepare for drama. So. Much. Drama.

I love game music especially in Kerbal Space program since it has this music when you're flying the ship in outer space and it contains the sounds of whales.
