Project Ideas

Share your ideas and plans for projects here. Perhaps we should also keep a running ticker on the status of major, ongoing builds like the great railway.

My current projects include the following:

• Finish paving the road to my house
  
• Repair the creeper damage to my mineshaft ladder

Future projects:

• Build a mountaintop observatory
  
• Build a slime harvester[/url]. It automatically chops slimes down to the smallest size, transports them from bedrock to the surface and holds them in a dunk tank for drowning and harvest of the slime balls at your convenience. What's not to love!? Sticky pistons galore! I have one in my SSP world and it's AWESOME! - I haven't been here for a week yet, so I can't post this as a link, but see an example at youtu.be/iuLmlKpACXk
  
• Build a dedicated mob grinder for public use

I think we need to start building mock ups of the holy golden shaft.

My projects are all pretty small.
mining out under my base, keeping my base out of view, farming, and filling in holes made on the plains.

My favorite thing I have found exploring is the sheer cliff that acts as a high dive.

I want to build a shooting range, I have an idea for a mechanism.
I would also like to build a spleef arena at some point.

So, I have 1600 cobble that I just recovered while digging out my slime farm. We could sure pretty up the railroad with it.

Eventually the rail should reflect the grandeur of our civilizations. Cobblestone is a good start.

The whole animal breeding situation is proving to be a pain in the butt. I have a hard time keeping them from escaping when I go in to randy them up, so I have decided to set up an automated factory farm in Klourthia.

Phase 1: Egg laying operation. I plan to build an egg gathering machine so I don't have to worry as much about actually breeding chickens

Phase 2: Chicken maturing chamber. I'll build a pen where chickens can grow

Phase 3: Chicken Harvester. The harvester will be attached to the maturing chamber. I'll likely flush the birds into the harvester using water. They'll get ground up using lava and drop their meat and feathers at a pickup point.

Phase 4: Profit! Arrows for all!

On an unrelated note, I built a brew pub out in front of my castle last night. It has a full potion brewing setup and a Seattle hipster ambiance.

That all sounds most excellent! I look forward to seeing the finished product!

Also, always feel free to drop by Sandaria. I uh... have an abundance of livestock at any given time.

Hey all,

I just finished constructing a massive mob drop tower for harvesting arrows, gunpowder and bones. At the moment it's functional but reeeeeally ugly. I plan to pretty the building up a bit. I really like the top-left image below, and would like to encase the spawner in something similar.


In order to increase the spawn rate in my tower, I've been going on a cave-lighting spree near my base. The cave system under Klourthia is absolutely ginormous and includes at least one abandoned mine shaft. I also found what may be the biggest natural cave chamber I've seen to date in Minecraft. I want to get it lit up and then perhaps I'll turn it into some crazy underground grotto or something. I didn't think to grab a screen cap, but I'll put one in when I get back there.

Anyone who would like to join me in my caving expeditions, come on down!

Oh, man.

Someone needs to turn a stargate into Goatse!

I have extended the southern lord rail line so that it goes into Kite's basement.

Also, is anyone interested in building a nethercastle? Basically my idea is: we build a castle... in the nether... fancy stone and flashy architecture, towers and walls, palace, courtyard and garden, possibly a church, sandstone floors, decadent rooms, glass columns... I was thinking we could build it suspended way out over all that lava in that big main area between the Sandarian gate and the Skull Mountain gate and we could have fancy covered walkways extending away from it toward the gates. Basically, with such a gate, we could pop into the nether, relax, and moon the ghasts from the comfort of our glass and stone fortress. Also, fuck the ghasts!
