This is my very first single player Minecraft world started in 2011 that I still play to this day. I started adding signs in 2013.

I like that the signs only contain the information about sign placement. Just like ancient Scandinavian runestones - they usually were like this: "This stone was engraved for Thor by his son Hjorvard. Eric did the engraving." Why add anything?

I think it tells us a lot about humans. Doesn't really matter what, or why, but we want people to know "I was here."

  1. In your mind, would it lose meaning if you broke a sign to relocate it?
  2. Have you ever considered using sign types other than oak?
  3. What's your favorite activity right now in Minecraft?

(1) I wouldn't be heartbroken if I had to move them but I certainly prefer not to. It is cool knowing that I placed those blocks 10+ years ago. (2) When I started adding signs, oak was the only type, I guess it never occurred to me to use another type. (3) Probably building item farm machines (iron farm, mob farm, etc.), I have a bunch scattered throughout the world at this point.

Yo, I remember seeing one of your previous posts. It's really nice to see you still going ! Do you still play on that world ?

[–] nat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Haha good memory! I don't play Minecraft as much as I used to but when I do it is typically on this world. If I ever feel like starting fresh or if a new update comes out, I'll fly out into some newly generated terrain, drop my elytra & equipment into an ender chest and "start over" at the new spot until I get bored and want to head back to the main base. It allows me to have fresh starts while still staying in the same world.

[–] GreyCat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

That's nice, how far do you fly out per new playthrough ? Do you have any system that you follow to delineate your world per update ?

Also, what's the disk size on that thing ? :))

[–] Devconsole@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's very cool. Super neat tradition

[–] nat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Thanks, it is a fun little tradition to have. I might need to make some more room for signs in a few years..

Why did you wait until September to place the 2015 sign? :P
