['The Eel']

a fortress 211 meters across, with 76 5x5 towers up to the height limit, an extensive system of 3x2 tunnels running underneath it (and connecting to the foundations of the towers at their ends), skyways leading from the central building to the 30 meter high, 5 meter wide walls, and a 17-story underground storeroom.

Currently digging the foundation for the main building... this is going to take a while

Gathering all the wood to rebuild this:

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

How much damage will Flint and Iron cause that in one go?

 

[imnot]

Underwater base, so far it has an entrance hall, a transportation hub, a living area a m ining room and to get in you go over a minecart jump off of a cliff and plummet down a glass tube.

 

[Anchupom]

Nothing too big right now i'm just trying to escape my house

Spoiler

I should probably build some walls around the house as well.
Also a tree farm underneath the house.

Bow and arrow?

Myself, I'm planning on making an underwater mansion with glowstone. I've spent about an hour hoarding/mining it so far and I've got 3 blocks. This might take some time.

 

[Lord_Ascendant]

A stone tower within a lake on a man-made island I made from sea level up. It has a lower section with a stash of chests and an upper room with paintings and one with a huge golden chair. Theres this skirt of dirt around it that has two little houses for my furnaces and workbenches. Theres a little dock outside the front gate.

I'm...probably going to shamelessly copy that because that looks and sounds brilliant. How will you deal with skeletons that spawn though? Won't they shoot through the half blocks?

Yes, skeletons shoot through the blocks because they are assholes and ruin everything. It's simple enough to kill them though if you move quickly. They can't chase you and have barely any room to work with so it's a simple thing to do.

The only way I could get the skeletons to not shoot you would be to redesign the prison to use blocks that obscure sight. This defeats the purpose of the prison though. You would have to use glass, which doesn't look very good for a prison. You also couldn't put a door in, as they can see and shoot through doors.

I'm not going to let some skeletons stop me from building it though.

I've found that skeletons only shoot through doors if they're on a particular side of the door. If the door swings inward and they're on the inward side then they can shoot through, but if they're on the outward side of the door they get blocked (at least from my experience). Also glass doesn't necessarily look bad in a prison. Hell if you wanted too you could make a smaller underground section of the prison that emulates that hallway of holding cells from Hannibal. Last I checked everyone's favorite cannibal had a cell which consisted of bulletproof(?) glass and a slot that people could hand things to him with.

You can make a lattice of fence blocks that makes kinda-cell bars, or the doom texture pack makes glass prison bars....
Just some suggestions.

I am currently creating a large town, with underground metro, a castle, prison, walls and a giant underground vault system.
Also it's built on an artificial island.
Oh, and it has a giant obsidian doom tower too.

it may be a bit overambitious.

All in a single-player game. Sometimes the Minecraft protagonist seems a little lonely.

 

[Jovlo]

I found a small cave in a big rock with a waterfall flowing out of it.
I've hollowed out the cave further, and made a nice home in it, complete with living room, bedroom, bathroom, loo (although the toilet is just a block of wool), library, kitchen... On top of the rock, I've built crenelations, a lookout tower and a garden with trees, flowers and a fountain.
That fountain flows over the side as a waterfall that forms a moat around my rock.
I use the original waterfall as a garbage chute.

In the future I plan to turn the desert around my rock into lush green farmland.
It's great to see it all evolve like that.

 

[Valkyrie101]

I'm building a castle. I've finished the keep, and I've taken a break to gather more resources and try out a few new smaller things, like a sugar plantation. The collection of random towers that I have is starting to turn into a city, very very slowly.

[Daveeo]

Currently im having a break from minecraft, but the project me and my friend was working on was to build quite a big boat.

 

[Drummodino]

Building a underground "aquatic retreat". Basically I hollowed out a large room and I have fountains, pools, waterfalls and a lava powered hot tub. Large fireplaces provide light and I have an office behind a waterfall wall - entrance and exit are hidden and one way, the flow of water pushes you.

Am planning to expand up and down - have to level a large hill above and harness a huge natural cavern I've cleared out beneath.

A GIANT TOP HAT with a house inside

 

[the_deku_Nut]

I'm currently building an underwater city with a tram system. There's a central dome that contains a miniature forest, with glass walkways to smaller structures branching out. There's an island that one of the glass tunnels leads up into, and atop that island I intend to build a new primary entrance to the facility. I've been learning how to play with some more advanced logic gates so that I can fully spec out defenses.

 

[Togs]

just a plain old mineshaft at the moment as my 1st one ended up in a massive lava flow, cheating me out of any ore or caves I may of discovered.
Im also building a guard tower/lookout spot on top of my house so I can kill some creepers for their sulphur, along with a lava moat around my house.

I plan to make a greenhouse at some point too.

 

[kickassfrog]

Trying to get an IP to get online
Also, fortress with moat, away from the suicide shrubs

 

[Spygon]

Well i have madea huge light house on a island then put a secret tunnel to the main land under the sea.To what is at the moment i am build a huge obsidian castle mansion.Already have a lava moat,a bath house,a viewing balcony with large corridor and a special secret room where i spawn and has a portal

 

[trooperpaul]

Building 1:4:9 obsidian monoliths everywhere I go.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

A castle on the water.

Not that huge due to patience, water size and time. I'm building it on my friend's server, and since we're all admins we just use the /give command to summon everything.

Very fun.
