yeah, that would work.

Also, we need glass ('transparent cube' layer on outside')

Do we? I was just thinking of a glass border around each 'sticker'. We can hax the water and lava to stay like without an outside thing.

Woah, that'd be cool, with spacing, like in jfly:

yah but glass is awesome.

Reminds me of a MMO I used to play a long time ago, ROBLOX (that's a link).

 

[spdcbr]

Fixed! But now I get an error about my video card or something....anyway I can update this? My dad is a computer expert and he says I can't because the computer is too bad....
Oh yeah, and how do you make glass?

Sand + Furnace.

Says I cannot play because I don't have accelerated pixels. =\

You are having the same problem I am. We need to update our video card drivers but i am having problems with that...

I'm not even going to look at this game. If I start, I'll probably end up quitting cubing. XD

Yes it will yes it will. I have homework but I can't stop playing. And I'm only playing Creative not alpha.

Hehe I don't have that problem ^^ lucky me

I played 9 hours today.

My first shelter was just a small cave inside some stone, then after I got some lumber I just built a front wooden room. Then I went back into my cave and started digging back and down, and I found a very long cave. Exploring that I found iron, and I found my first enemies too. There were two sections and when I got to the end of both, I started digging up and I built new entrances to this from the outside so I could get it there. I also put gigantic stone pillars outside my entrances so I know where they are.

After that I went out for more resources and found a few more caves. I explored them but they weren't large. Then I found a massive mountain with a sand area in front of it. I built a room in that with a glass roof (for sunlight) and I used that as a mineshaft with a ladder. So far I've gone down maybe 15-20 levels. Still only found iron, but I've got plenty of materials to go further. If I find nothing then I will dig sidewards.

Niacee...you should build a huge lighthouse outside your house. Works for me

This is probably the craziest thing I've seen done with minecraft.

I just figured out the basics of redstone circuits and spent a good hour or two playing with them last night.

I built a walled courtyard outside my house (shelter/mine/cave dug into the side of a cliff) so I have a safe outdoor area at night. It's well lit so monsters can't spawn there and the wall is too high to jump over. There's a door in the wall so I can get in and out, and I put a pressure plate in front of it so I don't need to manually open and close it when I go out. Unlike the door into my house though, pigs and cows will spawn in my courtyard and sometimes trigger the plate to open the door. I took out the pressure plate for now so Porky won't accidentally let a creeper in, but I do like the convenience of automatic doors.

There's a big cleared out space on top of the mountain that makes up my home base (hoping to build an actual house there someday) so I used it as an experimental area to figure out a redstone circuit that will use a lever as a locking mechanism. When locked the pressure plate will not open the door. Since I would like a lever on the outside and inside of the wall, I made two switches connected by an XOR gate (the Minecraft wiki has a helpful page with circuit diagrams for logic gates).

So I have a circuit that works. I just have to figure out a way to hide all the wiring underground in the courtyard.

However, watching that video made me feel silly for being so proud of my stupid little door lock

Better than I've done, I've made a simple automatic door for my base that doesn't even use redstone.

I'm actually putting off my experiments with redstone until I have "enough". However, I'm not sure exactly how much enough is. I have over 100, anyway, so I'm not sure what I'm waiting for.

These are just some pics/vids of some parts of my world. Here's my skin: http://minecraft.net/skin/skin.jsp?user=Ruro

This is my current world that I'm working in. I've played this entirely in 'normal' mode. I haven't played for long so my only real accomplishment was my water elevator:

Also, here's a zombie dungeon with a creeper and a giant slime in it

EDIT: Found a few more pics. Too lazy to take any more atm.

Is that safe landing on the ground? My boats always break when they fall from a height. Mine lands in water then moves back towards the waterfall = continuous lift, easy to get on and off.

Has anyone tried farming on it yet? I can't seem to get water to where my farm is, I put water underneath it but it didn't help at all. Guess trial and error is the way to go.

It takes time for the soil to become wet, and remember that water can only travel 4 squares through dirt. I have a farm that's something like this.

W=Water
-=Dirt

On another note, I finally built a working 2-bit (lol) LED display! That was the hard part, I'll design an ALU for it soon. That's 3 different numbers it can display, folks, 3!

I'd make a 3 or 4-bit display, but the rules for it are a bit more complex and I'm not sure how to implement them. Anyone have any tips?

I made my farm like:
----------------
-wwwwwwwww-
----------------

but the soil on top isnt getting wet. It is cross sectional view you did right? (not top-down) the only wet soil I have seen is at the level of water, beside where I intended my farm to go.
