My concern which others have mentioned on the minecraft forums is if they require iron to make. I have a difficult enough time finding enough iron as it is without needing it for permanent light.
I was thinking about something that I think would be cool while listening to the latest PC Gamer podcast with the interview with Notch. I would love to see a Spore type implementation but for buildings. In other words when the the world was generated there was the chance to find other buildings you had built previously from other save games. Of course since it was a different game and time the condition of the building would vary. It might even show up at the bottom of a lake.
Shoot man...iron be rare yo.
Finally finished my staircase.

All told, I think it's about 74 steps deep. At the bottom I'm hitting a mix of adminium and regular stone, meaning I cannot progress further and actually make a staircase. Not to mention the lava that flowed in. ;)
I finally found 2 diamond blocks in a mine I had almost given up for lost because when I started it, I went through 4 stone pickaxes without finding anything more than about 2 blocks of coal, and maybe 2 redstone blocks with the next 4 picks.
In the end, I just kept going down until I hit the unbreakable stuff and then went in a 2x2 straight line forever (probably 15 pickaxes at least) picking up what I found along the way with my iron axe (the diamonds, more redstone, a little gold, a little iron).
Right when I was about to give up for the night (I used up my last pickaxe and last torch at about the same moment and it's a loooooong walk back to the top, I heard running water, so I went back for 4 more picks and more torches so I could explore. I just tried to follow the sound which put me in a little danger of getting lost...twice I hit straight into lava and had to quickly throw down some stone blocks to keep from getting hit by it. Eventually I found a tiny cavern where a lava flow and water flow are adjacent, and also managed to find 3 blocks of obsidian (at the risk of flooding of the mine by digging upwards, although it seems you can place blocks inside water to plug up a hole, because that's what I did). :)
Also, I have a double-chest full of stone block stacks now. What should I do with it? :p
If you figure that one out, let me know. I have 4 large chests full. :pQuote:

I had a ton of cobblestone too, so I made a MASSIVE wall... it contains the castle I'm building (still a lot of work to do on it) and a lot of random land. Looking decent so far.
Looking into the castle, wall off in the distance:

Inside a long hallway in the castle, passage to an underwater glass room at the end:

Love this game, looking forward to the Halloween content. :D
We should share our worlds!
Looks like you've got quite the structure built there - looking good :)Quote:

I'd be interested, Adi :)
The latest list of bugs I saw about it made me assume it was still pretty bad*, but I didn't actually try it. Some fixes are supposed to be coming in the halloween update.Quote:
