Minecraft Creations, March 2011, Lava Temple

Hello again, these shots are back on the Tribalfield Minecraft server where I am now part of the Spirt faction tribe "The League" with my good friend WarpageHD in the sandy (which partly inspired the below creation) town of 'Brickly' I must say that taking no falling damage is quite useful indeed.


Lava Temple

Originally this supposed to be just a pyramid as I wanted to make something out of the rather new block inside the game sandstone. I then changed to a sort of more 'temple' looking structure the decided that it could benefit from some lava flows (why not!) and soon after that, cacti! or cactuses however you would say it. I created quite a dangerous looking gladiator arena at the bottom. After making this I found that compared with the other denizens houses of the town of Brickly that it was rather ludicrous looking, also while admiring my work I fell into one of the lava flows and subsequently killed myself I think now I need no lava damage :D

I also included a picture of my temporary dwelling I dubbed the 'Sand Hut' I think it looks very quaint.

Well thats all for now folks thanks for reading, I've mainly been re-making the past creations that I've lost in the server resets so that will be to come.

Minecraft Creations, March 2011, Underground House, Disco, Brik Howze and randoms

These shots were from the AEF FPS Clan's Minecraft Server which I had a brief residency on along with Laver987654321, Atomic_Sandwich & Jabbcore which we inhabited while Tribalfield was down. I was choosing a new server to play on and noticed that AEF indeed had monsters on and minimum lag, there I met Lachlan49 who led me to the town of "Stripville" (don't ask) whose mayor's name eludes me for now. I eventually joined the town and invited the others to come to the server. I indeed still do visit the server from time to time which I think the other three are still there.

Underground House

I wanted to make a fully furnished house this time but also wanted to make an underground dwelling so I decided to put the two together, I found it quite unfriendly with just the light from the torches underground so I decided to add some surface skylights to brighten up the place. I found it turned out quite well although the mayor wasn't exactly happy with me for going way out of my area restrictions.

Disco

A Disco I made with Lachlan49 for our town, we weren't allowed to make the redstone flash unfortunately cause it lags the server.

Brik Howze

At this point I had left Stripville and joined Laver, Jabbcore and Atomic Sandwich at their new town so yet another new house was fresh for ideas. I decided to make this house out of brick so I went on rather large scale clay hunts and found quite alot, mind you it does take a long time to smelt the clay into brick so it took me quite awhile to build this. I wanted to make this as a quite plain looking well furnished house but as you can see I was continuing with my theme of lava features, this one spanning 4 levels with a nice feature at the top.

Randoms

I like this shot of Lachlan making the disco

There's quite a lot of interesting things on the AEF server this is just a taste


Mechwarrior made mostly out of Netherrock

Odd looking Bear sculpture which I'm sure I've seen before

Minecraft Creations Jan/Feb 2011, Great Tree, Treefortress, and Temple of Air and other randoms

These shots are from the two of the server world resets we experienced on Tribalfield, these introduced the leveling system ie you had to level up to use different kinds of materials and also the Tribal system, where you were part of a certain tribal community and had a unique attribute to that tribe i.e a Spirit tribe's members did not take damage from falling and a Water tribe's members did not run out of breath. Our Tribe was Air faction and was named Zephyri Procellae we had some kind of power which allowed to not be squashed by other blocks which had it's uses in some places.

Also at this time I had started using Misa's realistic Texture Pack which changed the look of minecraft greatly I have to admit now I find i can't even go back to the old look. Thats the trouble with user-made game modifications you become accustomed to them and whenever there's an update to the game they usually cease to work and because you refuse to play the game without them you have to scramble to find a latest version and if this particular mod is not being developed anymore you need to find a suitable replacement. It was the same story with World of Warcraft which I now have taken a break from.

The Great Tree

I always had an idea to make a gigantic tree and cut out a living space inside of it but it was difficult with the way trees grow in minecraft though all they need is one dirt block to place the saplings on, so i decided to grow a patch of trees and place saplings on the tops and side so it sprouted upwards, I was quite pleased with the results though with the server restrictions i couldnt quite get to the top :( .

Tree Fortress

This rather odd looking structure emerged from the 2nd server reset I experienced where the monsters in minecraft were activated on the server. I built the entire structure starting from a hole in the ground I first grew the trees then made the treehouse then added the walls and moat pit afterwards this provided me maximum protection from zomabies etc.

The Temple of Air

This I made for my tribe Zephyri Procellae which is based on "Zerphr" also known as Zephyrus the Latin god of wind, it's made using the single stone slabs trick.

Randoms

That there is Diamond ore and quite alot of it in the one spot

I think my character looks quite good in full leather armor

Minecraft Creations Nov/Dec 2010, Statue of JD and random stuff

 These shots are back from when I first started playing Minecraft they were taken on my ever popular server Tribalfield

Statue of JD

Because of my mass egotism I decided to build a giant statue of myself in my own town , I play Minecraft wearing a particularly lame Domo-kun skin hence the resemblance.

This here is the originally 5x5 block cave I mined to get all the cobble to smelt

Random things

These are just a few things i've come across in the minecraft world, all on Tribalfield server

Animals! lots of them

Whoopsies!, this is where I learned that fire can spread, just like real life

A beautiful natural gorge

 Lava just sitting on the surface, no idea how it gets there

And finally a quite hilarious conversation between my two friends warpageHD and harro223 which I had to take a screenshot of
