The theme for May is towers. Build any kind of tower you like, as long as its a tower it counts. Anything which you intend to submit must be built on the server and must be built in the month of May, i.e. you can't submit anything you've already built.

To submit your build, post screenshots of it below.

I've made the swear filter much smarter: it now checks for repeated letters and spaces or other non-alphabetical characters separating letters. If 'chief' was a swear word, for example, it would filter out 'c h i e f', 'c   hi eeeeee ee e e e f', 'c.h.i.e.f', etc.

Try it out and let me know if there are any problems with it

It was his last request

By the way, we're only making it a one way railway now. People probably aren't going to ride it back

So Alyssa has put down the surface on which the tracks will be placed but we still need some bridges and supports for this. I've put down a bunch of signs in the places that we need something that say what we need. So if you want to do something try to find a sign and build whatever is written on it, you can decide how you do it.

A station on each end is also needed, if anyone wants to do that

We can probably start here



behind the enchantment table, unless we want to make a larger hub where we can add more destinations.

[The Warp Sand Memorial Express]

The FBPA (FroobWorld Beach Protection Agency) has noted an increase in the number of destroyed beaches in their monthly report. Now, this is not good. With postcards featuring beaches being the main export of FroobWorld we need to take all measures necessary to protect our beaches. On the last map we had a nifty solution to this: /warp sand, but such a solution is no longer a possibility with the current restriction on warps. And so I propose instead...

The Warp Sand Memorial Express


A 1.5km long, single lane, eastward bound railway track straight to sandy goodness. Not only will it pay homage to what was arguably the greatest warp in the server's history, but it also provides a solution to our beach problem by giving people an easy way to get a lot of sand quickly.

It's been almost exactly a year since the last building contest, so it's about time we tried again. The theme for this month is bridges. So, you know, make a nice looking bridge. Anything which you intend to submit must be built on the server and must be built in the month of April, i.e. you can't submit anything you've already built.

To submit your build, post screenshots of it below.

A Guide To Cooking Truth
with froobynooby

If you're reading this you are interested in cooking your very own Truth. Truth can be quite difficult to cook for a beginner, but in this guide we will walk you through all of the steps for some of our preferred methods for cooking Truth.

Part 1 - Obtaining Truth
This is probably the most difficult step towards cooking Truth. Truth can be sneaky and elusive, and he knows when he's being watched. To have the best chance of catching a Truth you should set a Truth trap. A Truth can be trapped by digging a 2 block deep hole made of leaves with a sign saying "You're trapped" in it. The best way to lure a Truth to your trap is to have it hidden in a poorly optimized or unsymmetrical farm, which Truth will be forced to fix. Alternatively, you can throw meat towards Truth which acts as a repelling force, forcing him away from the meat and, hopefully, into your trap. Once trapped there is nothing he can do, so it is time to prepare for cooking him.

Part 2 - Preparation
Preparation is key to successfully cooking Truth. Make sure that you have your cooking station set up before you catch Truth as Truth needs to be cooked immediately after being caught. The cooking station you require will depend on the method you are using to cook Truth, usually you can't go wrong with a nice open fire.

Part 3 - Some selected recipes

Roasted Truth
It's a classic, you just can't beat it. Roasted Truth is one of the simplest, yet one of the tastiest ways to cook Truth. All that is required is a pit fire and, of course, Truth. There's actually two ways to cook roasted Truth, one is using a spit and the other is chucking him on an open fire.
For the spit method, you're going to need a 2 meter long spit, some rope and some strong supports.
Tie Truth to the spit using the rope and prop him up onto the supports.
Allow Truth to roast for 6 hours for maximum tenderness.

Below is an example of a successful roasted Truth using the spit method



This method is much quicker, but you don't end up with the same tenderness as the spit method.
For this method you need to have Truth lie down in a pre-prepared pit with coals.
If desired, you can add some form of seasoning.
After you've done this, you're going to need to light the fire underneath Truth.
For the best results, leave to roast for 3 hours.

Below is an example of roasted Truth with watermelon, using the non-spit method





Boiled Truth
Boiled Truth is a little bit trickier to pull off than roasted Truth, but if you can pull it, it's worth it. For boiled Truth we require a cauldron and a pit fire.
First you'll want to fill your cauldron with some fresh water. Add carrots and potatoes if desired, but we generally find that Truth by itself is the best way to go.
You're going to want to bring the water in your cauldron to a boil and once it is boiling add Truth. Fortunately, because of Truth's tendency to jump into lava, he is incapable of telling temperatures and so will remain in the pot.
You're going to want to leave Truth boiling for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on how hot your water is. Now this is quite a long time, so Truth may be tempted to move. To prevent this, place meat all around the cauldron thus providing an equal repulsive force from all directions and causing Truth to be unable to leave the pot.

Mexican Truth
A recipe sent in by amateur Truth chef TheChief13 is Mexican Truth. It's an unconventional cooking method but it produces great results. For Mexican Truth you will need a fully functioning roller coaster which sends you through lava and a sombrero.
First you're going to want to put the sombrero on Truth, this is the key step to the entire dish.
Next you're going to want to place Truth into the roller coaster. Remember it must be a roller coaster, not just any old minecart track. This is very important.
Next simply send Truth on his way down the track, once he makes his way though the lava he will be cooked.

Part 4 - Get creative with your recipes
Don't shy away from experimenting with how you cook Truth. How do you think all of these recipes were discovered? I happen to know that TheChief13 tried cooking Truth in 78 different ways before discovering Mexican Truth, but did he give up? No, he didn't, and he succeeded in the end. If you find an exciting new recipe, be sure to send it in with screenshots and we might just put it in our recipe collection.
