Well a few weeks ago I was back at Richy D’s place for
another round of Minecraft creation fun, we decided to continue working on the
underground city we had
previously
started building. I apologise for the lack of screenshots as I was kinda
busy at the time and forgot to take enough and I also forgot to take a copy of
the world so I could take more screenshots.

I started finishing off the houses that I had previously
built and Richard fixed up the quartz paths and made a street light. We built
two ‘luxury’ houses along the path and I say luxury because they were fairly
luxurious compared to the other houses that had been built, Richard made a
single level L-shaped house while I made a two-level large rectangular. Mine
was supposed to be the 5-star house if I was still working off that initial
idea that I had for the villager accommodation so it was properly made of
bricks, wood and wool for carpet unlike the others which were made of a mixture
of wood and stone or just stone. After I finished building I realised it was
too low and the windows touched the ground (and I like them to be one block up
so hence why it’s got a sort of sandpit around it. I didn’t know what else to
do as you wouldn’t be able to get grass down here, it’ll probably look pretty
good with some cacti around though I still dunno what we’re going to do for
plant life around here, mushrooms maybe? We could use mushrooms of all sizes
and mycelium as the basis of the underground ecosystem, especially since they
are technically the only plant life underground apart from moss, anyway it’s an
idea.

The underground city was starting to form pretty well,
Richard made a cool looking lighthouse tower thing with lava then after that we
were deciding what to build next, and for some reason we decided we wanted to
build a jail, right in between two of our houses (including mine) no less. So
we started building this jail and right away I knew it was doing something
different then the norm something more disturbing than the normal happy
Minecraft building. I didn’t really have to think much about what block I was
going to make the structure out of: stone brick of course, I think I love it a
bit too much though it’s the most fitting for an underground jail, plus stone
slabs for the floor rounded it off quite well. For the design we decided on two
levels, the top level would be predominately for villagers while the bottom
basement level would house all kinds of nasties, such as blazes, zombies and
skeletons.

I designed the top level in a sort of L shape with a long
hallway at the front which has the stairway to the basement on the right and
leading to another room and more cells on the left, I also did my usual
heightened roof with iron bars all around. The cells were narrow but reasonably
long, I liked the way when you put villagers in there as prisoners they stood
on their beds near the window trying to get towards the light outside. I didn’t
put much in the cells just a bed, chest and desk with chair, I used iron doors
obviously with switches outside to control them. I went downstairs to see that
Richard had made a hellish monster ridden dungeon with skulls and a torture
rack, which gave me an very sinister idea.

| Cells and Villager prisoners |
I decided to the main room upstairs
into a sort of
Hostel-esque
room where unfortunate prisoners deemed are tortured then chopped up on the
table then the body parts disposed into the nearby lava chamber, I made the
room complete with a victim cage so they could watch prisoners before them
being killed and adorned the rest of the room with other benches furnaces and
dispensers. I also got the idea to light up the building with redstone torches
instead of normal torches as it created a darker gloomier effect which suited
the prison much better. Only after finishing this place did I realise that this
was pretty f’ed up though I took value in the situation that we may have been
the first people to make something like this in Minecraft.

Throughout our building Richard had decided to turn monsters
on so there were monsters all over the place on the houses etc, though because
it was on creative they did not attack us they only attacked the villagers so
it got pretty funny when we were building and testing out the cells. Because of
the zombie hordes mechanics we sometimes had 10 zombies outside a cell that a
villager was in and because they come from up to 16 blocks away I had zombies
coming in from every direction, they’d literally walk right past me looking at
me and continued down the stairs to find the villagers and I had to sue fire to
clear them out occasionally. Weirdest time I’ve had building ever.
Oh well, the Underground city continues
My mother would be
proud
