In these three screenshots you can see the progress of the crafting of the support pillars for the beacon tower. The point is to give the tower a more mystical look by leaning more towards improbable build styles. The support pillars on the side are supposed to help support the top section which is placed […]
This is a view from the top of the beacon tower down onto Pig Field with the greenhouse and home base on the right. Slightly toward us from the center you can see a creeper face in the landscape. It’s simply black wool dug one block deep into the dirt. From ground level you won’t […]
I’m standing at the very top of the newly constructed beacon tower. You can see the lava encased in glass to function as the light source. We are looking down on the main base attached to the greenhouse with the glass roof and farming inside. The surrounding hills and fields have been lit up with […]
This screenshot is taken from the first level of a beacon tower that’s under construction. It gives you a nice view of the home base with the fountain out front and the greenhouse attached to the back. The field on the left is called “Pig Field” and off to the right you can see a […]
In the interior of our main base in the multi-player survival world that I’m playing with my sister I’ve put in some thought before placing chests and furnaces. Usually it’s done in a willy-nilly fashion but now we keep a lot of it inside the floor and partly inside the walls to conserve space. This […]
This is a great shot of my lava-tipped beacon tower. The moon is slowly rising behind it creating a little bit of a silhouette. In the foreground you can see my sister on the left and the sugar cane farming on the right.
According to the Minecraft wiki, lava is one of the brightest light sources and it’s also relatively easy to obtain and use efficiently. This tower can be used to mark our home location for when we go exploring. Between the first and second image you can see I’ve added supporting parts, kind of like buttresses, […]
You can see here that we use the floors and walls to maximize efficiency in terms of our layouts. Chests, workbenches, and furnaces can fit in the floor and furnaces also fit in the walls, nicely stacked. The pirate lady you see in the center of the shot is my sister.
What you see here is the area in the front of the house that my sister and I have built in our multi-player survival world. The cobblestone part is the roof of our house and where you see the floating trees with torches on their trunks that’s the field that the front door opens up […]
This is the second house my sister and I made in our multi-player survival game. The first house is a 3 by 3 wooden shack on the beach not far from this one. This house was built on a natural formation of rock we had straightened out a bit and put a roof on. Inside […]
