The beginning of an ambitious mining project
Posted by Admin on 27 August, 2011
What you see here is my latest endevour, to dig a mine shaft down to bedrock. Unlike my previous mine shafts this one is 21 by 21 blocks across. It takes about 1 iron pickaxe and nearly 1 Minecraft day to go down one block. Then it’s a quick run back to base to unload […]
Lava pillar light beacon
Posted by Admin on 27 August, 2011
This light beacon is very easy and economical to make. Lava is a good light source and can be seen from quite far away. To start you need make sure the bottom has a little pool so that the lava won’t overflow over the rest of your structure. Then build a one block pillar up […]
Colorful concentration of resources
Posted by Admin on 27 August, 2011
While digging around underground it’s nice to come across a concentration of resources. Seen here we have diamond (light blue), redstone (red) and Lapiz (dark blue). Lapiz isn’t really useful beyond making a bunch of sheep blue, and redstone is more common than I need now, but diamond will put a smile on my face!
3 different mobs caught in a trap
Posted by Admin on 25 August, 2011
This is one of the surface drowning traps I’ve built in my single player survival world. It looks like this morning I’ve caught a nice variation of bad guys! There is a creeper, a zombie and a skeleton in the trap and soon they’ll give up swimming and drown. The texture pack I’m using here […]
Top view of Pig Field and creeper face
Posted by Admin on 25 August, 2011
This screenshot is taken from the top of the beacon tower looking out over Pig Field with all the torches lighting it up at night. In the center you can see the creeper face with some torches in his eyes for effect. The portal to the nether is located to the left and on the […]
A sheep tries to enter the nether
Posted by Admin on 25 August, 2011
Here’s the nether gate constructed out of 10 blocks of obsidian. If you look through the purple event horizon you can see a sheep who has walked back and forth through the event horizon a couple of times already. Obviously he’s trying to get to the nether where he’ll be able to collect some netherrack […]
Little pirate gets a little perspective
Posted by Admin on 25 August, 2011
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 […]
Jack Sparrow standing on the beginning of his pirate ship
Posted by Admin on 24 August, 2011
Here’s Darryl with his Jack Sparrow character skin, although obscured by the iron armor he is wearing at the moment. He is standing on what will one day be his glorious pirate ship. It’s in the very early stages and it will take some time because all the materials have to be gathered legitimately.
View from the end of the pier
Posted by Admin on 24 August, 2011
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 […]
Two-stage surface mob trap
Posted by Admin on 24 August, 2011
Here is a drowning trap for mobs built on a mountain side. It’s a simple concept where a flow of water leads creepers, skeletons and zombies into a drowning trap which lets loot flow out of the bottom after they die. The difference is there are 2 of these traps in sequence for a large […]
