That looks like a nicely built castle. Care to take a closer shot so that I can see it in all it's glory?

That's pretty much it, but instead of making a trough to harvest the obsidian, you make a mold of the structure you want to make, layer by layer. Once the bottom layer of the mold is complete, fill it with lava sources and dump water on it to turn them into obsidian. Build the mold up another level and repeat. There are a few considerations though if you're planning on making something large:
- To make the building go faster, you'll need lots of iron. A good minecart system will be necessary to make the trip from your construction site to wherever you can find a large pool of lava.
- You'll also need the iron for lots of buckets, so you'll be able to carry more lava per trip.
- You'll also need to really think ahead when it comes to making the mold, since you're going to be making an outline of each level, not the level itself. It's tricky at first, but after a while, you'll get used to it.
I posted a picture of it a while back, but here's my obsidian tower as it currently stands:
It reaches from sea level almost to the build ceiling (that little thing sticking out reaches to the build ceiling. It took a while to do, using the above method, but I still think it was a hell of a lot faster than sitting there and hacking away at obsidian for hours.

Had my first real encounter with the power of lava. And now I have a ton of Obsidian that I can't mine yet...
Are there any other good series similar to X's Adventures in Minecraft where someone is just starting to play Minecraft for the first time and isn't totally annoying? There were a few other first timers' journeys I saw, but they seemed pretty annoying, unlike X.

Yeah I used to love watching minecraft LPs, but the only one I got really into was X's adventures. It's the most entertaining because of how much of a noob he is in the early videos. Most other Minecraft LPs are just some annoying kid and/or someone who has played the game for tons of hours already and seems to be just going through the motions, usually a combination of the two.
The only problem I had with the X videos is that he was so easy to empathize with that I ended up getting tired of Minecraft before I even got a chance to play it simply because he had gotten sorta tired of it.
The adventure to Death Mountain was fantastic though and that makes me want to play it still.

Anyone able to give me a hand.
Two things first is the more present issue with my terrain pack. I took two 3E dot game heroes terrains, re did parts I did not like, customized others and added in a few from other places, so there's a lot of stuff in it.
I finally decided to go out and find some damn clay. Apparently my game doesn't like the stuff I went from only 16 Mb for my file to 56 and worst part is something is wrong with these textures.
After hours of searching I only have about 120 brick blocks now and the lower right hand corner of the brights has animated fire for some reason. Can anyone figure out why, or try this out in your own game let me know if you have the same issue.
Second my game file is huge, all I wanted was some damn clay. I cant get MC Edit to run on my iMac or Dell. Can someone when the re-launch with biomes starts in Nov trim my level down if I put it up online. I would greatly appreciate it.

I just watched that. I laughed the whole time he walked past it and started chopping the tree because I knew it was coming and couldn't believe he didn't see it walk by. It was right in front of him. :lol At least he got all his stuff back. Even if he doesn't know what a shovel does.Pandaman said:
Digging around the basement I found a bunch of lava pools and rivers and stuff and then from a distance I spotted what seemed to be an illuminated dungeon, and sure enough...
Turns out it's a zombie spawner - but I already have one of those right next to my spawn so I'll just leave it be ;-)

A naturally blocked spawner, Too awesome.
Am I really the only one who saw this?

This game, including the creepers, is super easy after you've played for a few hours.

My friend posted an overview of our world on his show. Not totally impressive compared to other posts, but we put a lot of time into it. Worth a look and maybe a laugh.

Texture packs that are higher res than the default 16x16 have a glitch in them that causes a weird fire effect to show up in the corner of certain blocks. Theres a fanmade patch that fixes it: http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=46173
Haha, lets pretend that the hack on the main sever was indeed angry fans wanting more updates....
Latest update
"Ive also signed up for a DDoS protection service, and took the chance to upgrade the server hardware to a much more powerful beast. I havent migrated things over to that server yet, but thats coming soon.
Coding wise, Im officially behind schedule now"
Nice guys. Ruined it for everyone (but now we get a more stable server!)

Yeah thats one of the thoughts I had. This clearly did the opposite of what they planed.
I find it a little hard to believe they did it for "more updates". The creature told everyone what he planed to release soon. Why would you attack him knowing that info.
Just some 4chan kiddys wanting attention.. like always.

Random screenshots from the private server that my friend and I have been running together:
The first two (major) structures -- we spawned really close to this natural cliff, so we started by building the tower on top and a cliffside stairway to the peak. The bridge was added later; it's hollow and houses a secret tunnel with hidden entrances on the mountainside (a common theme in our stuff).
Same bridge/tower from on top of the bridge.
The second tower and main castle keep. The original tower and bridge are in the background.
The southernmost 2/3 of our massive bridge. It reaches from the castle keep across the valley to a mountain on the other side. It's also hollow and the bridge supports both have well-hidden passages that connect to the inner section and the guard towers. The central area between the guard towers has a bunch of random trees planted on it.
Shot from under the bridge, looking north toward the castle -- the structure at the end is the main entrance to the castle keep: two parallel four-story towers that connect at the top.
Right now we're working on building the main castle and filling out the keep, and building a large underground chamber filled with various lava falls and lakes.

As said in here though, it was in a joke thread.
Chances are it could have been to do with the amount of revenue flowing through his server, those transactions could have attracted trouble.
How and why I don't know, it's just a hunch. Could have been leading to a clone-phishing scam.

No way with how pissed off the fanbase gets when servers are down a phishy site would be figured out in like 2 seconds.
Honestly if something is popular its going to get some negative attention.
rohlfinator you bridge looks awesome. Kinda giving me a Great Wall idea
