Can I build elevated walkways in the wilderness?
« on: 14 Oct 2012, 19:57:56 »
I've just joined in the last few days and I've seen that the wilderness areas are a very heavily played out with holes, trenches and abandoned buildings all over the place. To make it easier to get around I started to build floating walkways by crouching, walking backwards, looking down and automatically placing blocks as I go.

I've been able to do this on my own LAN server and a few other online servers but for some reason when I do it here I place about 20-30 blocks then fall off and die. Is there a rule about not building such 1 x ?-block-long structures?  I've looked at the rules and can't find anything that covers them.

There are no rules against building things like that in the wilderness.  I am unsure as to why you're dying, or falling off the structures unless it's lag.

That must be it, then. Thanks.

It could very possibly be lag; I might've experienced it myself. When I jump and quickly place a block right where I was, and lag happens, the server will put me as still in the previous spot, but with the block already placed, so it pushes me on the side. This happens to me quite rarely though. I've experienced something similar when taking down 1x1x? towers---when I dig up so many dirts at once, and lag happens, the server put me as if the dirts weren't removed yet, and I take falldamage as I fall down to the highest unremoved dirt.

Either way, I don't mind  :D I'd invest in some Feather Falling IV boots and/or Protection armor though, to be safe :)
