What is Crooked Lane?

Crooked Lane is an upcoming horror/supernatural fiction podcast. Each episode is presented as one or more entries in the audio journal of Newton Wallace, who's recently moved back home to pursue a career in carpentry. Due to a sudden severe arm injury, however, he is unable to attend trade school until he's fully healed, and so fills his time with recordings in an audio journal that, eventually, also become a way for him to log the otherworldly events that occur on Crooked Lane.

Will there be auditions?

For the inaugural season, no. For upcoming seasons, yes. As this is very much a shot in the dark passion project, the initial season will simply be recordings from Newt's journal so as to minimize production hassle and keep everything as streamlined as possible. When the series does choose to introduce more characters, however, information about auditions will be made public as soon as it is available.

What is Crooked Lane influenced by?

First and foremost, the real life Crooked Lane in King Of Prussia, Pennsylvania. On a more serious note, podcasts such as Welcome To Night Vale, The Magnus Archives, and Archive 81 are all large influences, though it should be said that we are not attempting to directly copy any of them.

What exactly IS EMCraft?

EMCraft is a vanilla SMP (Survival Multiplayer) Minecraft server. Inspired by series like Hermitcraft, Mindcrack, and SMPLive, we've banded together to create something similar but closer to home, as all the members are also members of the mineblr community.

Why should I care about EMCraft?

Well, no one's forcing you to, but EMCraft aims to provide lighthearted entertainment in the face of uncertain and strange times. Plus, we'd like to think we're all pretty funny.

When will EMCraft launch?

We plan to launch our server on 7PM EDT April 3rd; that's 11pm UTC, and 10AM April 4th AEDT. You can tune in to any of our streamers to watch the grand opening live, or catch an upload from any of our YouTubers after the fact to watch other perspectives.

Who can join EMCraft?

EMCraft is a whitelisted server, but in the event that we go on to produce a season 2, we'll open up applications for anyone interested in joining in on the fun.

So, who's involved in EMCraft?

NEW ORE?!?!? NO WAY

So, while netherite is better than diamonds, it is prohibitively rarer than obtaining diamonds is. The way you get netherrite is by finding these “ancient debris” blocks that generate below ~25 on the y level, (I found they’re most common around y levels 10-16 or so, the lowest I saw them generate was y:7). They look like this:

They generate in ore veins of 1-3, I find that the veins of 3 are quite rare though. I also never saw them visible from the surface, but maybe it can happen sometimes. More often than not it looks like you’ll have to use stripmines just to find them, though.

Once you find a vein of the stuff, I hope you brought a diamond pick, though- they can only be mined using diamond. I tried iron and gold, it’s ridiculously slow with those and they don’t drop, you need a diamond pick.

Once you mine it, you get just the ore form of it, like mining iron or gold ore (so, it’s not affected by the fortune enchant). You can smelt it in a furnace or blast furnace to get “netherite scrap”, which is then used to make the ingots. You need gold ingots as well to combine with the scraps, like so:

Once you’ve crafted up a netherite ingot, the way you use it in crafting recipes isn’t quite what you might expect. Instead of using the ingots directly, you craft tools and armor from them like this:

Yup. You need to combine diamond tools and armor with the ingot to get the netherite stuff.

At the very least, it means you don’t need a ridiculous amount of netherite just to be able to make anything, but you will need a lot more diamonds. Also, before you ask, no you don’t keep the enchantments from the diamond armor if you use enchanted diamond while crafting- all the enchantments are lost when making netherite. That’s ok though, because as the changelog post said, netherite is more enchantable than diamond gear is.

Netherite armor looks like this:

I think it looks pretty Sexy tbh

In addition, netherite items have a rather unique property… They don’t burn in lava

btw, here’s what it looks like enchanted:

All in all. I am in love with this new ore thank you so much mojang we are truly blessed

Another request done, this time for @autistic-enderman !
