Quick tip: See my castle?Rooster Cogburn said:
Well, once you're done gazing in awe, notice the shape. My first castle was square and it looked shit.
So I got a map generator, opened the map in paint, then roughly drew a line around a terrain feature. Then built the walls to that shape.
a 100x100x100 pit far below (and to the side) of my base as an underground garden of sorts, with a grassy textured floor (hard as it was to get the grass to spread down there) and a 1000 square glass sunroof to get some sunlight in.
I am nearly finished with the pit complete and the sunroof halfway done, it provides an interesting experience trying to hollow out a cavern at night only to have a creeper fall to its death right beside you, and the 2 dungeons I ran into did not help at all (bloody spiders keep climbing the walls to jump on me) but at least I got a saddle!
I also just finished the snow fortress as my spawn point near to the entrance of that pit. To make it I had to turn 3 tundra biomes into rainforrests.
Also, never try to make a self-sustaining creeper prison, with recent updates all I had to do was walk near the doorway to be greeted by 5 odd explosions, eventually leading to my underground garden idea.

Right now I'm building a Mansion in the sky. I'm not sure what to do with it exactly because right now it's more of a building with big open spaces, and I'm not sure how to do the roof. I also have a big open floating field in the back that will be turned into a greenhouse for Sugar Cane, Trees, and Cacti. After that I'm going to build a roller coaster on the side of the building that will go into an underwater city that I'm going to build. I'm also going to build a town around the floating mansion and later a crystal cavern (err... Diamond Cavern I guess) that you can only get through via the Nether. Basically I just want to build an entire world with interesting things in it that I thought up and built on my own.
I had that problem with dirt as well...until I realized it makes great scaffolding and is mostly useful for building something impressive and then replacing all of the dirt with the actual blocks you want to use to avoid making mistakes. Failing that, dirt is also great for making giant, angry tiki idols.Jarl said:
the trick to getting grass to grow on dirt, you need to have basically a 'fuse' of dirt leading from a patch of grass to the area of dirt you want grass on. grass will slowly grow from the grass patch down the fuse of dirt, until the grass eventually reaches the patch of dirt you want grass on. once grass is growing on that dirt you want, you can destroy the 'fuse'Abedeus said:
I haven't played in a while buuuut I started a thing where I just wanted to explore, though after the updates I'm considering making a new world to do this in since it's got more stuff like ...different trees.
My house is the one with the two lava lines. My original house anyway, that changes as the maps go.
Sorry to post so many pics but it really does show the progress a bit more interestingly.

Really, though. My disappointment over the death of my whole project was drowned out by my glee over the bizarre turn of events and the excitement of running down floor by floor to escape the descending inferno. Now I'm always working with a burned-out lava tower in the background lol.Niccolo said:
Minecraft can be pretty addicting, and the hours just disappear. Every time I look at the clock three hours have gone by.
EDIT: Pictures of my Lava Tower and simple castle (if I can post them correctly). The tower looks way cooler in game because the lava is animated.
In my never-ending quest for Cobblestone with which to build my fortress, I have started a tunnel to nowhere. It is 3 blocks wide by 4 blocks high. It is currently 460 blocks long, just under half a kilometer, and was formerly occupied by 5520 blocks of stone, dirt, iron, and coal.
Being a tunnel to nowhere, it will never be finished. Only grow forever.

I got bored with minecraft but my plan was to build a floating fortress with lava falls all around and a very mean looking bridge leading to it.
seeing that giant pile of wood almost makes me just want to be the asshole who starts it on fire (yay for pyros) lol ^^;;ClassicJokester said:Gathering all the wood to rebuild this:
Elysium, the tree city that was lost to a map reset on our old SMP server.
I'm building a monster trap around a mob spawner I just neutralized in my first save, and continuing my efforts on my epic tree fortress and stargate in the second.
Currentlt working a 3-part project: Building a huge fleet of airships, building a "city" under the airships (wich is on water) building the real city under the surface-city that means underwater city. (with glass walls)
I made a lighthouse as high as possible entirely out of glass and a large amount of torches because I could never find my cave when I died, then I didn't know what to do, so I started making a spiral down it. Currently of the process of making a tram ride from the top of the lighthouse through to the bottom of the world. It's very windy.
I stopped playing for a while, but I think after reading all these cool ideas I'm getting back in the game again. 
I already have an underwater bedroom and an island castle. But now I'll probably rebuild Bowser's Castle. Wouldn't it be boss if the door was his mouth?
