Tuesday, March 29th, 2011Minecraft: modern house
Monday, March 7th, 2011On a friend’s server I decided to get to work on glassing up the place and putting in the nice checkered flooring.

Monday, March 7th, 2011Minecraft buildings: Beacon Tower
Thursday, March 3rd, 2011This is the second superstructure I’ve gotten around to crafting: a stone tower perched out on a neighboring hill. This one was just supposed to look pretty at night, so it’s also as tall as the altitude limit in Minecraft and it’s totally decked out with as many torches as I could get on the top spire. There’s a series of staircases that run around the inside of the building base, and a final exposed staircase on the spire itself so you can get to the very top. The inside also has a nice glow from all the torches mounted to the walls.
Minecraft buildings: Sky Fortress
Thursday, March 3rd, 2011This was the first superstructure I made in Minecraft, pretty much all clods of dirt with some torches for lighting. There’s some ground shots, and views from the topmost point including sunsets and moon rises.
One interesting thing if you use all dirt: after a few “days” grass grows on the dirt, turning it back to a block with some green on the top.
Damn you, Minecraft
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011I wasted yesterday evening and part of this morning doing something completely frivolous with Minecraft: making a 4-story sand castle, a massive air bridge out of dirt, and a mountainside cantilevered home with doors for windows and a fantastic view.
There’s a chunk missing in some of the pictures of the air bridge. I’ve also hit the upper sky limit with my fortress on the hill.
