Pretty much the first thing I do in any new world is build a Mob Grinder Tower once I finish my first house. It's basically a tower with water channels that funnel all hostile monsters that spawn inside into a central channel that carries the monsters into a lava blade which kills them, then the drops fall into a channel underneath which funnels them into a collection point.sseh2661 said:
Just be aware, I don't think he explicitly states it but there can be NO light in the tower, so if you use torches in there to light it up, take them out before you close it up.
Also, in my trap I put a pressure plate at the end of the item channel and connect it to a redstone torch in my house with Redstone wires. That way, when an item falls on the plate, the torch in my house lights up and I know I have items to collect.
These things just make your life so much easier because once you build a few levels of the tower you will have a huge influx of Gunpowder to make TNT and that makes big projects WAY easier since you can pretty much just blow up mountains.
Start simple, and go up.

I was going to say to re-create Sauzer's Pyramid (Fist of the North Star reference) but an underwater city (or any underwater building) would be pretty bad ass o.o!!Head Chef Dom said:

What i wonder, why do you think N is ok then?
On Topic. Build a giant creeper out of green wool and tnt, then lure as much creepers as you can to it and give them some of their own medicine
On a less 'lettery' note, your suggestion with the giant creeper sounds pretty good. Maybe a huge model skeleton with an arrow-shooting dispenser at the end of the bow.
Still on topic! Lighthouses. When you wander off looking for some sheep, there's few things worse than getting completely lost. For added safety, set up each lighthouse as a sort of safe house, so you don't get vaporised by creepers.
What in the hell is wrong with you? Other than the fact your not a good calligrapher.Greenhand said:Flourishes on 'that goddamned letter' typically come off looking like they're copied off of other, better letters, even when they aren't.PettingZOOPONY said:So you cannot add flourish to the Z?

Build millions of block people for your own block army.
Search YouTube for videos on TNT cannons. They are fucking awesome.

Water fall walls, underwater, not allowing them to spill into the chamber. (really annoying to get right)
Lava moats are pragmatic AND pretty.

I always start with castle walls to keep out the baddies with a shelter of some sort in the middle, or build a house right into a mountain for starters. Get yourself comfortable. After that I usually build sky towers with bridges moving in a grid pattern high up in the sky so I can move across the terrain quickly without worrying about monsters at night, except maybe spiders. It gets me back and forth to seperate bases easily, especially when I decide to build on the water.sseh2661 said:
Grow a massive forest, have trees cover the entire continent. Then, build a vantage point high up enough that you can see as many trees as possible.
Then burn it...Burn it all down to the ground...
Of course, since sometimes some blocks from trees will just perpetually be on fire, eventually the whole continent will just be lit up with burning wood.
Then you will be safe, safe from the monsters forever...

Yes, but, you know, a tasteful cock and balls. Not one of those tacky cock and balls. Something with oak trim and gold, but not too much gold.TheFloBros said:
