Woo, the outer shell is basically complete. Need to fix the 'droopy' corners on the tops of the turrets, and sort out the ramparts on the first tower, but more or less done.

 

Next I'm going to add a gate/portcullis stylee bit (don'[t know how yet) and then build a house and stuff inside the castle walls. Then dig out all the sand around it and have just one entry point (although i already have a couple of underwater emergency exits...)

 

Time for sleep.

I'm still trying to decide exactly what to do with the house.

I've got ideas for what to do with the surrounding area, but I'm currently sitting wasting time each night because I'm not sure how to handle the inside. :(

Here's my beautiful architect's plans for what to do with outside, and my current floorplan...


For some reason I had this idea to build a giant greenhouse, which is what I've been doing during the day.

I'm probably about half way finished with the shell, which will give me a safe place to work during the night, but you're not getting a screenshot of my current progress, because I just realised it's fecking 3am. :'(

The guest house is also home to the banquet hall.

That's pretty cool.

I've been connecting up a few islands with undersea glass tunnels. Takes fucking ages.

Aye, took me the best part of a (real world, not game) day to get enough sand and coal to build my greenhouse. Time well spent, I'm sure you'll agree.

 

Minecraft is like Morrowind crossed with lego. I am soooooo addicted it.

trying to build a self propelling railway today, not too hard, but one FUCKING chicken* has fucked me about all day

he pushes the carts before I'm ready
or he jumps in them and rides away (laughing)
or he stand in front of a cart so it stops dead



* I prefer to belive it's all the same one

Anyone encountered randomly collapsing sand before? :S

If you recall in my earlier image, there was a block of six sand that was one deep, in the bottom centre of the image.

After being inside working on my building a spiral staircase, I came outside to fight some monsters and discovered that at some point it has collapsed into what looks like a cavern.

I've had similar before when I was digging sand - I dug a piece which would have revealed a floating block of sand, and a whole area of it then collapsed - but I've never noticed it happening without me doing anything. :S

Is it a randomly occurring event, or triggered by anything?

Should I go down and see what might be lurking under my house?

Sometimes in Minecraft gravity forgets to work. So when you remind it by disturbing an overhang of sand, you get a landslide as gravity tries to pretend it knew about it all along.

Did you not read my post? :(

I didn't remind gravity of anything!

It's just being realistic. Sand's like that. <nods sagely>

Roses are bollocks, Violets are crud, I hate bloody flowers, And much prefer mud.

Probably for the best TBH. But your post on gravity had a sparkling of wit quite lacking elsewhere in this thread of late.

Apart for the wit of Pat, this is turning out to be one of the most mind-numbingly tedious threads evah. Congratulations to all of you in plumbing the depths so enthusiastically.

 

I wish you all continued fun building with virtual Lego. Although why you don't just go out, buy some real Lego, and invite your friends around for a house-building party I just don't know.

You know, there is an ignore thread option, if we're boring you so much.

I am bored shitless by threads about phones or mortgages or fridges or cars or boring films or whatever. What I do is not read them or post in them.

I don't think one thread on a PC forum about one of the most popular games of the year, in the games folder, is unreasonable.

Also, I think you're wrong. This game isn't just lego, it's infinite lego. It's pure "play" in the sense that children play. It's (again, as a child) going exploring in this not-yet-understood world. It's building a treehouse/fort/base. It's playing in sand. It's setting fire to things. All that stuff that was magical when we were kids, this game emulates that and evokes those feelings. It taps into that limitless wonder and curiosity and creativity we have as children and tend to lose as adults - reminds us what that feels like.

I suspect you'd enjoy it if you tried it. And I suspect you suspect that too.
