We’re standing on the end of the pier looking out toward our beacon tower with next to it Darryl on a pillar of gravel trying to get a bird’s eye view of his construction projects. Behind me he’s in the middle of building himself a pirate ship. Off to the left you can see the […]
Standing on a temporary platform this gives you a nice view of the constructions that Darryl and I have put up in our multi-player world. The pier extends out into the water with an under-construction pirate ship on the end. The beacon tower extends as high as the game allows you to build. In the […]
This is the creeper face dug out of the landscape. The black color is achieved by filling in the bottom layer with black wool. A casual observer will not notice anything out of the ordinary but from the top of taller buildings you will easily notice this little Easter egg.
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 […]
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.
Minecraft does a great job of randomly generating terrain and this is a nice example of such a case. I’m sure that with a couple of custom texture packs and shaders this kind of view would be very picturesque. One thing that comes to mind that I think would greatly increase the look would be […]
This view over the lake looks onto the pier or dock created by Darryl. At the end of it he will start building his pirate ship. Off to the right is our main base. All materials for these building projects are obtained by hand.
That pillar of sand is obviously not a natural formation. This is Darryl’s method for getting a better view of his surroundings. His view is of our base and the nearly completed greenhouse which is just to my right. The field in front of me, slightly to the left, we called “Pig Field”, but sometimes […]
