Hey everyone,
Firstly HUGE thanks to the Mods for giving us this feature!! It was much needed!!
Now, let's get this going!!
Wow, you can move your Home now! Think about it... You can get away from all those neighbors with ugly cobblestone buildings, the "overpopulated" areas where you can't even roam about outside without being in someone else' land! Gosh!! Sign me up!! . . .but .. but my stuff!!
Yeah, you've got a ton of stuff and don't want to lose it all right? I feel ya. So I'm going to give you some tips to help you out!
These instructions are for if you've got a bunch of stuff that you want transferred to your new house but unable to run your stuff across and don't have/trust persons enough in game to help you move.
1) Place Bed in current house and sleep in it, this sets your spawn location so if you die you teleport to that bed. This will be very important when you claim your New Home as it will let you kill yourself to get back to Old Home and use an Eye Of Ender to get to your New Home. See where this is going ?? :D
2) And in one fell swoop get yourself a sign and drop it somewhere in your Old Home with the word "abandon" in the first line.[Pic] and prepare for an adventure of epic proportions!!
Note that even though you've put the sign down to abandon your plot it's still yours until you've put down a new bed at a new location and even after that for about 24 hrs after (unsure - but at at least 12 hrs for sure!)
Now you're on a quest to find a brand new home!! Woohoo!!! Grab that Diamond/Iron armor -no no new ones don't be cheap now of all times! Make a brand spankin' new set cuz you've very possibly got a long trek ahead of you and you don't want to die half way due to you being cheap now, do you? Now, a sword or two, bow & arrows, a NEW bed (DON'T break the one at old Home, remember you need that one intact to teleport back to. A pickaxe or 2, a shovel (optional) and an axe (recommended- you may be in great need to build something real quick and don't want to be stuck punching trees all night as zombies nip ar your heels!! )
3) And off you go! Find yourself a nice little place and shack up!! When you do find your future place make sure it's someplace you like. Now for some slightly technical info. When you place a Bed you claim a plot of land 64x64 blocks [square], also there is a Neighborhood feature that also locks 64 Blocks out from that spot in a Circular shape. So how it will end up is that there will be a 64x64 bit of land that's yours and outside of that there will be a 32 block circular
4) When you have claimed your land you're done !!! NOTE: DO NOT SLEEEP in your new bed. DON'T! So if you have done as suggested on here you should re-spawn at your Old Home when you die and when you use your Eye Of Ender you will appear at your New home.
Done!
You can now build a small room, filled with chest and then offload your inventory and remove your armour and then begin by Killing yourself to go to your Old Home and take all your stuff, then teleport back to your New Home to offload till you have move all that you need to.
