Another quirk coming out of Minecraft’s random terrain generator. This piece of land has the surface exposed to stone, and instead of it being mountainous as we are used to seeing it is very nearly flat with patches of dirt for trees to grow. While walking around you’ll also find plenty of coal and iron […]
Located directly under the town square, the Doom Hole is the result of some TNT related fun. It drops down quite a long ways, nearly down to the bedrock. From one of the buildings at the town square you can access the Doom Hole. Partially carving and partially building I’ve made most parts of the […]
This mountain is a completely natural occurrence in the world I was playing. It’s shaped like an hourglass and if I had to name this geographic feature, it would be something with the word “hourglass” in it. The tracks come from the distance through a tunnel in the small hill and wraps around the hourglass […]
The mine cart sky bridge stretches over our heads to the mountains in the distance. If you look closely you can see those are the cliffs which have the wooden buildings on the side of them- it’s nearly out of render range. I like this shot because you can see wonderful terrain generation here. It […]
This sky bridge powered mine cart track connects on the left to the cliff-side structures. On the right you can see an hourglass shaped hill which, I promise you, was formed completely natural. The mine cart track wraps around this island to change to a lower elevation. Actually, since I started out at the far […]
This view of the cliff-side wooden structures lets you see the supporting parts underneath to make them look a little more realistic. From this angle you can also see the glass panels in the roof. I like doing this to get some daylight coming in and reduce some of the claustrophobia that you get from […]
Standing on top of a cliff looking out over green fields and lush forests and rolling hills is one of the many things that make Minecraft an enjoyable game to play. These computer generated landscapes that stretch out practically infinitely can be explored, deforested, exploded, civilized or anything you want. I want to reassure you […]
Minecraft generates beautiful landscapes but every once in while you get tiny floating blocks that defy gravity. These hills and caves mark the border between the snow biome and regular nature. Near the center top close to the clouds you can see a couple of blocks of dirt that aren’t attached to anything. It’s only […]
This area is a tiny valley surrounded by steep cliff sides and mountains all around. What makes this spot attractive is the spout of water coming out of the side of the rock. Coupled with the snow layer this waterfall scene is part of what makes people fall in love with Minecraft. Remember that all […]
This is a view of my long connecting Minecart lines in a world where I have my crazy stuff going on. This is nearing one end where I headed for some cool looking hills. I built this track using single player server commands to give me items that I needed and allowing me to fly […]
