Cartograph is getting a bit on the old side--it hasn't been updated in a while. You might want to try Tectonicus or Cartograph G.

Tectonicus is what my maps are from, I believe- it's somebody else who runs the server I'm on and sets those up.

Oops, my bad for spreading the Cartograph mix-up then.

Did you build cubicles in the office building Dids?

Looks nice - needs more lava & underwater areas however!

This is what I use, too. To map my server world, I copy the folder over to the single player world directory....which for me is: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\.minecraft\saves

AKA C:\[serverfoldername] and then enter the location into the 'custom path' spot?

After that, no idea. It was crap like this that made me ditch the first few renderers I tried. Pretty sure I installed Tectonicus at one point with no success. *shrug*

I'm not sure anything I've posted is using a texture pack, since the map tools don't use them.

I can't stand the default texture pack though. I'm shocked the game actually took off with such a gross low-fi look. Glass and water specifically are horrible.

I use this pack: http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewto...c8c685c5077205

It's a 64 bit pack so it can get slower, but it looks really, really good.

With the exception of cobblestone, I kind of dig the vanilla texture pack--I'm very fond of NES and SNES gaming though, so nostalgia undoubtedly plays a role.

I can tolerate low-fi graphics in other games, but I guess for me a big part Minecraft is about making things look pretty.

It didn't bother me as much till I installed my texture pack, and that looks so good I just can't stand the other way.

I don't really know if Minecraft mods are frowned upon or banned from being discussed or something, but I'm fairly clueless about any good Minecraft mods or websites. Can anyone recommend some good mods to get for single player?

It comes from creepers, and doesn't drop often.

Your best bet is to find a creeper dungeon and figure out how to farm it.

I still have yet to see a dungeon in any game. I'm not the biggest digger, but still- weird.

I can't think of the last time I've killed a Creeper and not got at least one gunpowder.

I have a zombie and a skeleton dungeon right below my primary residence.

My son and I found two spider dungeons right next to each other in one of our cave exploring sessions.

Gotta find a neat use for all this mossy cobblestone.

I hardly ever get gunpowder to drop from creepers. =/
