=VG= SemlerPDX Posted February 12, 2015 at 04:27 PM Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 at 04:27 PM I gots some screenshots to share....(and, Poff, you were right - despite my most careful gaming, I've died several times - lost a several quality items, ambushed by more than one creeper, and stupidly dug open a lava chamber and promptly fell right in...)My minecraft survival world (pretty proud of it, tho it gets lonely - wish this laptop could game AND be online at the same time...ugh):Here is my original keep, made it first over a month ago; farm land, main house, good "spider proof" cobblestone walls:It's at the base of a mountain that I've been mining, and I decided to build a stone brick castle around and out of the mountain:I've started with a huge citadel and then made the perimeter wall, and then started designing and building turretsHere is the South Wall, with the gate house entrance:My biggest task is to remove huge sections of the mountain as they get too close to the walls - I've spent the last 3 days just removing 5-7 block perimeter inside the new stone brick walls. Here is the North West corner, where I will resume today:**no cheating either, this is all stone I mined, then cooked into bricks, then crafted into stone bricks. Have had to stop just to stockpile coal at times, searching surrounding areas on a "coal only mission". Still, fun way to pass the time!

=VG= SemlerPDX Posted February 18, 2015 at 03:48 PM Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 at 03:48 PM Thanks, guys! So bored lately - my brother "took back" the guitar he "gave" me, so about all the fun I get is watching Star Trek re-runs on Netflix on the ol Kindle while building this Castle on my shitty laptop...(**my father just surprised me, Dean Guitar's are on sale 50% Off - he's ordered an exact duplicate of the Dean Guitar I was playing, should be here Friday!!! WOO HOO!)I LOVE this Redstone stuff.... Spent days in my Creative world trying to make a working gatehouse, and tried and failed to make a working Portcullis.... I ended up watching a How To on YouTube for the design, but I modified the switches to have push buttons on the gates, as well as master controls for both gates inside including 2 locking switches. Too fun!!!Here's a night shot that I thought I'd die trying to take, but I made it safely back inside:And here's a close up of the double-gate house with Portcullis (portculli?):Gonna craft TNT to help remove chunks of the mountain inside - I'm certainly not hurting for the materials anymore, and strip-mining the mountain is taking wayyy to long...!2cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
