Menacing Structure for the Nether Gate

Posted by Admin on 12 September, 2011

The portal to the nether shouldn’t just be placed randomly. Here is an example of a (failed) attempt to make some kind of menacing or awe inspiring structure to house the nether gate. It’s out in the middle of the water and it was supposed to be looking a little like a shrine or something. […]

Colorful interior decorating with wool

Posted by Admin on 2 September, 2011

This is the house that my sister and I work out of in our multi-player survival world. She made the remark that cobble and smooth stone is quite dull and even with a few paintings on the wall she was quite right. So we embarked on a project to liven up the place a little […]

Land overview with farms, portal, trap and house
