Here's a few shots of my single player game in the meanwhile.

Shit ... why didn't i think to use signs like that :/

Btw ... use small wooden steps for the roof (#=wood, -=nothin'):

Code:

Also, unrelated, you can make posts out of the fences :D (it does not allow to place on top but the reverse is allowed => WIN!)

I was going to go to bed, but then I had this great idea to build a greenhouse because those stupid fucking farm animals kept trampling my garden. Fuck those little shits, seriously.

I have grown a habit of punching them down cliffs whenever possible :ebil:

I really need to figure out a method for not getting hopelessly lost in the massive cave systems. I lost a ton of iron and gold ore due to not being able to find the exit, figured fuck it, I'll just tunnel straight up, and promptly got suffocated by gravel. By the time I could find where I'd died, all my stuff had evaporated. @#$%!

So after cleaning all the spilled lava that was molesting the landscape I finally finished my monolith, though it doesn't have snake-ish lava lines as I originally planned. You can however go inside it and climb on its "belt" that goes around it.

Underneath it you can find the deepest damn mine shaft I could dig, with a staircase that leads all the way to the bottom.

I can't really show in pics how deep this hole really is, but it's dug from the top of a hill all the way down to the bedrock layer. So... yeah.

Also at the bottom I made a nice little room where I deposited all that filthy gold I dug up and died for. Oh how I suffered for it...

@ZB:

Hehe. Two basic rules to avoid two of the most common stupid deaths:
* never dig stuff under your feet (i never do that)
* never dig stuff directly above you :p (witch i sometimes do anyway - and regret a moment later)

Oh, and use the torches to not get lost ;)

Oh believe me, I was laughing my ass off when I feel through a thin rock floor while digging, into this huge underground chasm. Took almost all my life... after which I died to creepers... and began sobbing for the loss of all the resources I had amounted till that point.

I was planning to try that but never got around to it and I haven't played that save for a while now. Plus there's always the fact that it needs a ton of wood.

As for the stuff+signs=furniture, that's just something I picked up from screenshots by other people so no credit for me there. It's completely useless of course, but looks nice. I'm curious what new furniture can be made now that we can use fences. I haven't really looked into that yet.

[Edit] Damn, guys. Three posts while I was typing? What's this, TTLG rush hour?

15 sec * how many blocks !? Hm ... can you mine it with a shit-ton of tnt i wonder?

Xenith on 22/8/2010 at 15:37

I don't know how many blocks, I can't remember. But it did take a really really long time to mine because I had a hard time finding diamond and with everything else it takes ages.

I grew a beard since I began mining obsidian. Very pretty material though.

Mr.Duck on 22/8/2010 at 15:57

Very nice guys, veeeeeery nice....

My army of Minecrafters continues to grow....MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

:D

Also, my basement is -really- getting big and deep....Gunny can attest to that ;)

:D

Fun times....

Can't wait for stable MP with Survival and monsters!

[EDIT]HORRIBLE NEW TRUTH: Monsters spawn in -any- area low, OR HIGH, enough that does not have artificial night by nightfall. The top of my tower had a spider a zombie and a creeper. The creeper killed'em both in the explosion and took a chunk out of my life....ouch[/EDIT]

So every time I try to start a garden in Minecraft a bunch of fucking animals come in and trample all over it. I tried keeping them out with a fence and shit but they get in anyway, even had a sign that said

FARM
COWS KEEP THE
FUCK OFF
GOD DAMN IT

So I just spent like 5 hours building a greenhouse- I basically filled in most of a small canyon, dug out all the sand for later glass-making (not easy, had to do a lot of swimming), dug a tunnel leading from my in-progress underground manse, built the walls, put in the wooden supporting arches and pillars, put the glass in, dug up a bunch of seeds from the surrounding area, put in gravel pathways, tilled the land, and got everything irrigated and planted, and when I was all done, I put my tools away and put up a sign that said

Greenhouse
TAKE THAT YOU
FUCKING COWS
I WIN HA HA HA
