Your Current Minecraft Project?

[Frozengale]

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.

Just finished building a monument to the minecraft chicken, in what I foolishly believe to be 1:100 scale. Oh, and it's all made out of wool. That I had to harvest from sheep. About 300 cubes of it.

Next project is finding some use for all the stupid dirt I dug up during my adventures. Only problem is that dirt is and looks lame. Suggestions?

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.

Floating citadel.

It's coming up nicely. I have a platform with a water elevator attached to it, a spot for animals to chill out at (except I can't get grass to grow on the dirt... dumb doors blocking grass) and I have to somehow connect it to my underwater mine I dug up in a nearby lake.

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'

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.

Spoiler

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.

 

[TuringTest]

Get the bloody thing to stop crashing with mem. errors.

 

[Rooster Cogburn]

This is like some kind of insane noodle incident. "Yeah, I built a tower... except now it's in the middle of a lava flow." One wonders how that happens.

Me? I've been holding off on getting Minecraft... I don't want to get addicted.

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.

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.

Spoiler: two pictures...

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.

 

[Twilight_guy]

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.

 

[tthor]

Gathering all the wood to rebuild this:

Elysium, the tree city that was lost to a map reset on our old SMP server.

seeing that giant pile of wood almost makes me just want to be the asshole who starts it on fire (yay for pyros) lol ^^;;

 

[warprincenataku]

Yahtzee gave me an idea with the gigantic golden twig and berries. I think I'll start there.

 

[AK47Marine]

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.

 

[norwegian-guy]

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)

 

[CL4P-TP]

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.

 

[Mr S]

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?

 

[EvilMaggot]

me and a m8 completely leveled a mountain top and made a giant ass castle on top not we are making walkways and underground walkways to other mountains

 

[GBlair88]

This city, though there's two of us working on it.

[Autofaux]

Finish my underground fortress. Mine enough cobblestone to make the walls impervious toe those fucking creepers.

 

[Mcupobob]

I'm working on trying to make a mob trap, and a couple of other projects. Namely trying to re-forest and chop down all the burning trees that I accidentally set fire after excitedly jumped out of the my nether portal for the first time into a new world.

 

[RaphaelsRedemption]

I'm flattening a mountain.

Yep, that's it. Got Minecraft yesterday though, so am still learning how it works...

 

[Spark Ignition]

building a tower-house, at cloud level currently. expanding my skygarden. building minecart tracks to connect my house with the various mineshafts and safehouses I've got.
