Minecraft, awesome one man game project

Screenshots!





EDIT: I think the mausoleum looks like the Lincoln Memorial.

I plan to do a pillar of the gods in the middle of the water somewhere FYI

Damn, the trees have overgrown the farm again!
I like my highway to nowhere cutting through that screenshot.

Btw...
You people stay up waaaay too late for me.


*Edit: Kama, what mod/skin are you using? looks pretty cool.

We should look at some of the MP mods over at Minecraft forums. There look to be some decent mods in the works.

I am currently holding onto my land stake claim until I am inspired lol.

Heh yeah the couple times I've hopped on have been after 2a.m. MTN time. Good drunk game I am the world's worst engineer apparently it took me quite a while to figure out how to build a massive staircase the other night. Still a progress in the works. Having to go into the mountain and dig dirt takes a goddamn lifetime.

The tree farm needs a glass ceiling or something. I harvested just over 100 blocks but I think I missed most of what was at the top due to difficulty in getting to it. I didn't burn though, if anyone else wants to try.

What about a layer of glass about 5 above the base layer, with a single hole punched out over each sapling? Think they'd grow through for multi-level farming or just all be stunted?

[innocentbastard]

Couldn't we also setup like a framework over the torches with a glass wall surrounding the trees? I don't know if they will grow this way though.

This would let the trees grow while still allowing you to harvest the tall sections.

[Rush]

Limiting the height sounds like a good idea... Maybe to 7ish levels? That way you can farm the full height of the tree without a boost up

Taggart - that sounds like a cool idea!

Haha spot on... It totally does. Now i'm gonna have to build the Washington monument

[Adisharr]

I claimed some land and built a tower on it - shouldn't be too hard to figure out :-P

Monroe I have to check out your lettering next time i log on. Where is it again? I didn't see it from the spawn.

Time to reveal at least one of my plans.

First of all, I built my name with each letter being 8x8. This resulted in a lot of time spent building, but ultimately I hit the build ceiling near the top of the last "O." Also, the letters ran together a little too much. This means I had to spend a GD long time deconstructing.

Fortunately, I had also specced out my name with 6x6 letters, and running the numbers, 6x6 letters + one layer of glass between each letter hit the build ceiling EXACTLY. Awesome.



Now I only need to do this 3 more times. Once placing water actually works, hopefully for the Halloween update, I'm going to work in a water elevator on each corner, and this thing will really take off.

Also, we have 2 full blocks of diamond in the chest, + 8 lone diamonds? That's ~ 26 diamonds total. Am I the only one that actually uses the mineral? I run around with at least a diamond pickaxe and a diamond shovel (as seen above). I've been ignoring it intentionally so everybody else gets a shot at it, but damn, if we're going to rack up that many diamonds, I'm going to make a full suit of diamond armor with no regrets.

Stand at the bakery, and have the Sharky/AFK signs on your left. Head directly forward from there. My sign is now big enough that you won't be able to miss it.

Also,that's MonroeSKI, not Monroe. Get it right.

[Wurm]

LMAO thats cool as hell!

From the known multiplayer bugs page: "Tools: Dropping them (e.g. by pressing Q while holding them) and picking them back up will revert their damage to zero. Probably related to the player and mob server-side health issue. Applies to all items that take damage (e.g.: Armor). "

I built a diamond pickaxe, shovel, and axe, and one of each is all I'll need at least for another week.

My signs are a directional point of reference.

Someone with too much time on their hands should make a little MS paint (or better) map that shows approximately what is where. A generated overhead map wouldn't show the below ground stuff or who built what, I'm just thinking a quick little drawing with stuff like "monroeski's tower here", "SHARKY sign here" etc.

A lot of stuff I only know how to get to because I know where it is in reference to one other particular thing. Remove the sharky sign and then I have no idea which way to go for monroeski's tower, and from monroeski's tower I have no idea which way to go for anything except back to the main area.

(idea: maybe start with the overhead map and put some letters on it (A, B, C, etc) and then make a key of what is at each letter, and if the thing is underground explain which entrance to use to get there)

(idea2: something multiuser where all users are allowed to put pins on a map would be perfect, as long as they allow a custom map (the overhead map) instead of trying to force you to use a real life map)

I could keep building roads/roadsigns. It just takes forever.

*Edit: Update on your ideas. Build giant letter "pushpins" on the actual map! (I can just imagine the giant A, with a sign at basecamp saying A: basecamp. )

I built a tower with a spiral stair case that hit the build ceiling last night. It is a tribute to William Wallace, just like his tower in Scotland

I need to make some signs but if you start at the beginning of Jame's road looking at the colossus and straight traveling at a 45 degree angle to the right then you should start seeing flaming wood. Keep following that until you see the tower on the hill. There is a spiral stair case in the side of the mountain that takes you up to the tower, it is marked by some torches.
