I fail to see the appeal of such a game.
- It's a sandbox game, so it's only for creative people.i_monk

k, fuckit.
So here's the new world I started from the Hallo'ween update.
My subsurface lair, glass roof, waterfall wall at left and lava flow from tower (original thinking was to light the core of my central mine shaft)...
..and the other side.
Looking up through the glass roof, you can see the top of the tower and principal portal
And, looking down from on top of the glass roof, you can see right down to the very bottom (I decided to fill the bottom with lava).
Looking up the water lift to the top of the tower..
...and looking down the main shaft from the top of the tower..
Looking down upon the base—this is the view I don't like. Too artificial, so am going to get rid of all the straight edges and make it look a bit more organic.
I did have a clear path to fall from the topmost layer, into the waterfall wall, where there's a secret entrance to my base. Unfortunately, I need to trim the trees—I'm about to die here.
Entrance to tree-house section of base, from top floor of glass-roofed shaft.
The very bottom of the main shaft...
...and the view looking up.
A view of the whole base, from afar. Note the fire-breaks in the tree-line. Lessons learned :)
.
Not shown are the stupid-long tunnels branching out from midway down the shaft, nor the large halls or mini-bases in cavern systems. I like growing my base organically - makes it easier to find my bearings if I've 'grown up' around the development.
This is almost as bad as holiday snaps, isn't it? :)
- haha! you awesome mega geek :D
love it mate!
did you mine all that stuff too?Hombre_Lobo_2 - Aye—I don't really see the point in the non-alpha version. Actually, I can't say I see the point in Alpha either, but... :)detritus
- haha! you awesome mega geek :D

- Neat! Do you not get mobs spawning up in the shadows of the treetops?detritus

so i have been playing this little gem for the last 3 days. clocking in 9 hours a night. basically when i get home from work, i play till maybe 2am. this shit is additive and i'm hooked! i was not expecting the depth of the exploration or complexity of the redstone; building mechanical devices and having the opportunity to build any structure you want.
i got plans on making some high resolution textures and i still can't get a grip that that is running on java platform. im impressed, here i thought java was only good for databases.
- i see this has been TL already. nether the less, still a good video.plash
