[Quixoticism]

My house(WiP)

The road that leads to my house from spawn.

Staircase for my underground project.

 

[AtomicSpark]

I can't see!

Edit: My friend made me join his server. I made this in about an hour:

 

[Vegeta897]

 

[Higlac]

Eventually all our map is going to be is lava under glass.

 

[MJ12]

I knew naming it Tree of Light would lead to an ironic misfortune. Farewell! May I one day build you higher and brighter!

 

[Vegeta897]

My house in Pi's server

 

[pilot7893]

Damn, wish I could make something like that.
I just got the game today, I made a basic cave as a stepping stone, and I've now started building a Secure Tower of Heartwarming

 

[Vegeta897]

The area on the west side of my home

 

[FrostedxB]

God damn that is awesome.

 

[Vegeta897]

Bridged pathway from my home to The Deadly Desert

 

[kineaesth]

I finally caught one!

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Oh hey, me too.

 

[kineaesth]

Why oh why did I have to make lunch immediately after trapping you in a box

 

[pilot7893]

My first home (v2, because v1 got destroyed by, well...), the Secure Tower of Comfort.

 

[Higlac]

Someone's been duping in Pi's server...

 

[YROC]

Someone must have misplaced a lava block in the mp server.

I can see that monster from my house... It needs to be cleaned up by the owner.

 

[sixteenth]

I need to get on this server once I have some free-time after finals. This shot severely reminds me of Blade Runner.

 

[YROC]

I've seen that picture atleast a hundred times. I thought it had made it's way to everyone by now.

No to me I guess.
I'll erase my shame.

I still think a project like that would be awesome.

Did the guy make that himself?

 

[TimoJay]

found a nice mod called BetterLight. It smooths out the lighting. Looks nice.

[YROC]

Gettin that mod so fast.

 

[MorganFreeman911]

Link gives a 502 error.

 

[Vegeta897]

That's a random error, just refresh.

 

[JesusToast]

I've spent the past two days exploring this cave system and this is what I found just before I called it quits for today. The best part about having to use the Tiny setting is that you get a sneak peek of what's ahead.

I have a cave system like that... two actually. they aren't as vertical as yours (meaning yours is cooler) but they are similar.

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

Torches holding up sand. Part of my sand castle.

 

[Quixoticism]

Wow that's really cool. I thought that sand broke into cubes(like gravel does) when over a torch, but maybe it just does that to falling sand..

 

[lord_raken]

wouldn't sandstone be easier to work with?

 

[CR0M]

Torches and sand can be used for some fiendish trap making, a water collapsing torch that props up a collapsible floor of sand over a lava pit is a great multiplayer defense mechanism. As I found out.

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

I was like, the hell is sandstone? Then I went back and looked at the minecraft wiki.

Oh well, I'm already taking pride in the challenge of working with sand.

And @Quix, it does get "harvested" by falling onto a torch just like sand, but you can place it directly on the torch and it will be stable.

Some more WIP screenshots (I switched to the better lighting mod obv):

Spoiler

My sphere in progress:

My grass creep trail (want the sphere to house a little oasis on the rooftop)

View from the front showing the long road to the subway exit (I'm like the only one still building on Pi's server btw)

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

Some moar

Front door (note the dispenser to the right, it shoots arrows)

Outer dome sanctuary

Inner dome sanctuary

The roof from the front

 

[Quixoticism]

That looks so good Mutoid!

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

And yet no one ever comes to visit! <foreveralone.jpg[/img]

 

[lord_raken]

Hey MuTiod_MaN. I went to visit your place and I am impressed.

It was a little stressful because I didn't want to accidentally bring your whole place down, but the sand vs. sandstone aesthetic is noticeable and there is something to be said for sand buildings.

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

Thanks for stopping by! Yeah the fragility of the whole thing makes it very impractical but after minecraft-weeks of testing the place is pretty monster-proof...as long as you make it in the front door. Did you have any trouble with the doorbell door opener?

 

[lord_raken]

Not really.

When I stepped on the pressure plate to the left of the door the opening door would intercept the arrows fro the dispenser.

Other than that it seemed to work fine.

Edit: also my home warp point no longer exists and the basic kit no longer spawns.

 

[Higlac]

I haven't played in a long time, I really should get back on and spider-proof my tower.

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

Yeah if you hop back onto Pi's server, you'll have to re-set your home and the /kit mod needs to get re-implemented or re-initialized or something.

 

[lord_raken]

Its frustrating. I told Pi about the kit issue over a week ago. We haven't had a map render since the first one on this server. We were getting one a week when Hokey was hosting. I really haven't been on the server at all lately. No one is ever on and community projects are nonexistent at the moment, and that is the reason for SMP to begin with.

I guess the enthusiasm we had at the beginning has died down.

That is why I moves mostly to Ravioli's server, but the VIP list is small and we are never on at the same time.

This is part of the city I am building on Ravioli's server (by myself )

I'be becoming less and less inclined to put effort into this if no one is ever on to build with.

Anyone here play on Rav's server? We really need more people to make it work.

Go here and get on the VIP list.


Maybe we need to combine communities.....
