Try a different mapper, no offence, but that one looks too blocky.

I've used http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=40327 The GUI that can be used is really easy to use and you can change the colours if you want to.

P.s. can I go on the list if it's going to go up to 6 people?

I've tried many other mappers, among them MCMap and Cartographer, and none of them work. Why don't you, or someone else who can get the mappers to work, make the maps instead?

I'll grab the latest version and edit it now 

Sure. I'll make a map of the current one.

Update:
Here it is.

I did make one of the explored underground areas, but it was tiny...

OMG I just found my first pink sheep while playing the save 



Like I do with brown ones, I'll keep her wool as a trophy ;P I also found 22 Lapislazuli while mining in that 7x6 mineshaft, who made it?

NEW VERSION HERE!

New stuff:
-Scratchville Plaza in what used to be a nice flat land. Maybe I'll add more to it someday.
-Spawn house for the bed, so monsters don't wake you up at night 
-A house for me and myself
-Dug a bit on the mineshaft, and placed a double chest for cobble besides it.
-Bought stuff from kayybee. 1 iron is a little too much for 4 bones imo, but I really needed bone meal. ;c

I made the shaft next to the bed 

Oh, k. As I said earlier I found 22 Lapis earlier in it if you don't mind, I could let you have some maybe since I don't have any uses for it.

Just use coal.

I don't think the conversion for 1 ir=4 bones, but 8 coal for 4 bones seems kinda equal...

Sell it 

Good idea.    Maybe I could make a small flea market in the plaza where you can get a stand for a small fee, then sell whatever you want.

Very good idea o.0

Or people would just make a shop on the side of their house, like me.

Ok, maybe if I add no fee then? 

Another idea, a bank for currency trading. We tried to make one in Scratchia but we never figured out how it should work. The system was meant to be kinda like this:

A person (which I'll call the "seller") puts ore in the bank - say, 8 iron. Another person (the "buyer") trades that iron for coal. According to the first post 32 iron = 48 coal, and that can be simplified to 2 iron = 3 coal. So the buyer would have to give 12 coal plus a small fee - for this example we'll use a %10 fee rounded to the nearest entire number above 0 (so if you offered, say, 4 coal, you still pay 1 coal). So our buyer gives 13 coal to the bank, and seller earns 1 coal from this transaction.

I think you mean seller earns 12 coal.

No, because 9 iron is 12 coal according to the first post - they're worth the same, ignoring their use apart from currency. The fee is what seller earns - the interest.

32 iron = 38 coal

48. And as I said before, that can be simplified to 3 iron = 4 coal. Now amplify that by 3 and you get 9 iron = 12 coal.

OK, The bank idea will work -_-
Maybe put that in the plaza?

Or you could just divide by 4 on each side instead of going through all that trouble.

4*9= 36
4*12 = 48

Oh wait... I got everything wrong lol. Now I simplified it properly and I end up with 2 iron = 3 coal 

And I wouldn't really like the bank in the middle of the plaza... Have you ever seen a bank in a plaza? Maybe we can build it when Scratchville becomes a little more... Urban, y'know.    So in my next turn I'll just build the flea market and maybe a small food stand in the plaza.

Yeah, it's rabbits turn now o.{}

Don't we have currency value for gold and other ores? Loosely based on this I just made up this:

1 diamond
16 lapislazuli (or 8? Lapis is way too rare. 1 lapis = 1 gold = 2 iron = 3 redstone = 4 coal)
16 gold
32 iron
48 redstone
64 coal

As you can see I made coal cheaper since it's way too common.    Also would make for easier currency trading since 1 iron = 2 coal.

Let's prepare a poll for this - everyone submit their suggestions then we vote.

Can I get back on the waiting list? By the way, how is the subway now?
