Ven, what was that seed, at what co-ordinates did you build the stuff, and did it involve digging out a lot of sand?

Also, that first one looks like the spire from Episode 34 of SoI.

The seed used was d74g0n, but I don't know if it'll still work what with all the updates Notch has been pouring out lately. As for coordinates, it's all scattered across the map. I could go look them all up, and mark them on the map, but that would be tedious. I'll do it anyway if you'd like though.

♥♥♥♥, Ven, that's wasom. You should come on Kirby's server if you ever have the time and build another one. Also Coterie Craft ftw <3

Nice. I should probably try to make something cool on creative mode and NOT give up like usual.

Just juggle nine different projects. Of the six or seven I've started so far, only one is done. :p And as for Kirby's server, isn't it never up anymore?

Me is making a mansion, loosely based off this design: http://mconstuct.wikia.com/wiki/Mansion

I've done the roof of the bottom floor so far, and I'm just about to start on the first floor. I can just imagine this mansion in SMP...

Stage 1 - Roofless Bottom Floor, Windows: show

Isometric view. Notice the fence poles on the bottom right, those will be the patio, uh, pillar things.


Front view. I made that little red-blue thing because bare wood was boring.


Back view. That brick structure you see is actually the faux-fireplace sticking out; that's what it looked like in the plan.


Bottom Floor Corridor. Since the mansion is made out of wood, and the carpet is wool, I daren't make a proper fireplace, so glowstone will have to do. All the doors on the side lead into rooms.


One of the three Small Rooms. They're all near-identical, some of them just have different windows, I think, as well as some being mirrored.


One of the two Big Rooms. This one has a cross instead of a window on the wall, as it faces into the store-room. The other one is of normal design.
P.S. Mozaik Role rocks.


Top-down view of the Staircase and Storeroom. You can kinda spot the other side of the cross. Also, I added Glowstone girders because it was dark and seemed kinda appropriate.


Top-down view of the whole thing. First one to spot where the only two torches are gets an ASCII cookie.


And finally, this is what I was talking about when mentioning 'spying in SMP', as all the windows line up. WINDOWCEPTION (urgh)

Stage 2 - Roofs, Lighting and Stairs: show

Side-on view of the soon-to-be patio's roof. I have honestly NO idea what drove me to use sandstone.


Top view of the new bottom-floor roof, made by hand. Those holes are the Storeroom ladder and the Staircase.*wipes forehead*


Everything is dark, so I need to add more lighting D:


Did someone ask for more lighting? Anyway, I also added regular torches around the outside walkway to prevent surprises.


First-Floor section of staircase. What's the wool, you ask?



:3

This was all done in Creative mode, with only TMI as a mod (to switch off rain, go into Creative and keep the time day).
