I have a small camp running, I can only support a few people so if you guys want to join hit me up and we'll see if we can make an arrangement.

Which is why I encase all my chests in iron ore blocks.

There are chest specific finders that outline chests in green.

I nodus already. Also, encasing all your chests in iron ore is way too much work.
So how to stay safe? How do I keep all my materials protected?

You're the one who said you do it.
[QUOTE=Relaxation;35445290]So how to stay safe? How do I keep all my materials protected?[/QUOTE]
use dispensers, less space and harder to make, but totally a good idea.
EDIT:
[QUOTE=WTF Nuke;35445314]You're the one who said you do it.[/QUOTE]
I said it with respect to ore detectors, and I was thinking xray mods.
Fuck dispensers, who doesn't have their Xray set to look for them?
I hide my valuable shit in a Storage Minecart.

Wouldn't X-ray mods be able to spot those? I know they spot other entities with ease.

How does that work?
Are they undetectable by x-ray texture packs, unlike normal chests?
Nothing is undetectable. However i'd imagine storage minecarts are slightly more secure than normal chests. don't be fooled though, if someone wants to find your stuff, they will.
[QUOTE=Relaxation;35445290]So how to stay safe? How do I keep all my materials protected?[/QUOTE]
safe as in 100%, probably never.
But put some distance between you and spawn and you become relative save.
I've build multiple bases, none seem to be raided so far (not that long though)
And all are within 10k.

Latin_geek, a friend and I got together and we built a nice little base for us. We're pretty strong now :)[/QUOTE]
Can I have the skin for the guy on the right please? I really like it.

Wait no, Kaameron checked it for me and its detected by mods.
Whoever Harblax is, I need to thank him (he said he had an FP acc) for making a stocked newbie base :D
[QUOTE=Relaxation;35444834]Can people use mods to find my stuff? I'm cool with people being able to grief me, but it seems pointless if someone can just use mods, find me easily then destroy / steal everything.[/QUOTE]
After seeing first-hand what Nodus is capable of on 2b2t, even with NoCheat running on the server, it is completely pointless to attempt "hiding" chests or other valuables. You have to assume the following:
- Any player who passes within render distance of your chests, [B]regardless of actual vision and line-of-sight on your area[/B] is able to see all chests you may have placed.
Play accordingly and long for the day when such hacking becomes impossible. :)
Edit: This is why distance from spawn is the largest factor in determining "safeness" of an area. Basically, as you travel outwards from spawn, the pure random percent change that a player will stumble onto your base is determined by dividing the render area of any given player by the total area of a ring drawn around spawn with radius as your current distance from spawn and edge width the size of a player's render distance. That is, as you move X blocks from spawn in radial distance, your chance of being found by pure random luck decreases linearly.
Example: You are 10,000 blocks from spawn. The "hacker" is on render distance "Far" = 10 chunks in all directions from himself loaded = 160 block radius loaded. 160 x 160 = 25,600 block area loaded at any time. For the hacker to find your base, his loaded area has to align with the total area covered by your base, which for simplicity, we will say is a single block :) So there are 25,600 different X/Z paired blocks that the hacker can be located at and still technically see your base through hacking. Now the total area at your distance is calculated as following: Area = (Spawn_Distance + 160) * (Spawn_Distance + 160) - (Spawn_Distance - 160) * (Spawn_Distance - 160) = 10160*10160 - 9840*9840 = 103225600 - 96825600 = [B]6,400,000[/B] total X/Z coordinate pairs that overlap a block at 10,000 "radius" from spawn (any block at X = 10k or Z = 10k). So by pure random chance, the hacker has a 25600/6400000 = .004 probability = .4% chance to come within range of your base. By the same math, being at 20k, the hacker would have a .2% chance, 100k = .04% chance, 1M = .004% chance, etc.
TL;DNR: Felt like doing math. Get away from spawn for safety. Hacking is dumb and sucks :( Keep your coordinates safe. Log out carrying enough valuables assuming you'll never see your base again. Have fun.
okay so who stole my bed from the small castle near 2k2k huh
If you really want to hide your shit, try use one of them 'hook' shapes in bedrock, and cover with lava. You can also make a room with like 1million furnaces, and store your stuff in certain furnaces, I doubt an intruder will check every single one ;). Another good tactic is to find a mob spawner with the mossy cobble stone, and hide ur stuff in there. Any passerby will just ignore thinking its just a normal mob spawner with a few iron bars in the chest. You could also hide your stuff above the ceiling in the nether
Once me and my friends get to my base, I'm going to try to make some checkpoints with wheat for all you FPers. I'll denote them with a torch inside a tree, so look for them at night. Dig under the tree and you'll fall into some water with wheat around it, maybe a chest and crafting table or something too.
So I heard theres a new Facepunch base?

That base got fast raided. I was keeping them out for a short time there won't be a food base for long. But the badies got in.
Me and amazer are stuck in the nether near the new base. Help us please!
