First topic message reminder :

I love to hear and see what people are working on, but it's not always easy to go round and catch up with everyone in game. So I thought it would be nice if we all posted about our current projects on this thread, and maybe post updates with progress, or when you complete or start something new!

I am currently working on my underground base. It is deep beneath my fort, from bedrock up! I have finished the entrance / Throne room, and I think I am finally happy with the way it looks. I've finished the storage room and am now working on a dungeon! It's at bedrock level, and looks really creepy with the void fog. Inspired by Carters prison, I may have to get some villagers trapped down there!

I'm at work now, but I'll post some screen shots of what I've done so far.

So... What are YOU working on..?

Why not? It makes houses look awesome actually

Just personal preference. I'm not saying brick roofs can never look good... I suppose they can look a little bit like roof slates... Just I don't think I've ever seen a real building with a brick roof, so it looks weird to me... I know Minecraft isn't real life though...

All buildings in my place are made of brick, maybe that's because I like to see brick ceilings in game haha

Edit: That's a project to think actually! My place house-like village! Would be awesome

yeah, but they are roof tiles, not bricks. I guess bricks are the closest looking you will get though, I'm just used to seeing brock walls!

Like I say, personal preference. If you like brick roofs, go for it!

The bricks stairs are like roof tiles anyway

Wow, that looks great Carter! Can't wait to try it out!

Made some good progress with my underground village today, despite the rollback!

The central column holds 120 doors! Was gonna have it go all the way up to the ceiling, but I like the way the villagers go on top, so decide to make a viewing platform... I kinda like the way it looks like the stump of a great tree that has been felled. Taking an unreal amount of logs though! And I have over 20 double chests of cobble, so if anyone needs some, come help yourself!

I could be wrong will but I think there is a vertical limit on doors counting for breeding in a village. So if you build doors all the way up then they wont count anyway.

they will "forget" the doors
you can make an infinite breeder by making floors of doors and stairs all the way down for each floor
that way, when a villager spawns at the top floor, he walks down the stairs, he'll instantly forget about his "house" at the top floor
hence, the villagers remaining at the top will rebreed

Thats kinda how my village at the End works. but horizontally.

Oh, I wasn't gonna nave doors all the way to the top, just the column. A door has to be within 16 blocks of a door for it to be recognized I believe. I think I have enough villagers in there now anyway. I have my infinite Trading Machine for trades anyway... One of those villagers is selling a Silk Touch book though!

I thought it had to be 32 blocks from the village center. I may be wrong, havent ever investigated in to all the mechanics since Ive never had a problem getting lots of villagers.

I did see your inffenate villager trader, Will. But while I was trying to get out, I accidentally let 2 villagers out.

I'm currently working on H4 (and I)'s base. You can see us on the map west and slightly north of the village in a forest biome. Alot of the work so far has been pretty boring.... mining down mountains and such. But eventually we will begin working on the base itself! If it's up to scratch with the previous models, then it should be pretty cool Diggers are welcome!

That's ok, I kinda let them breed out of control, and they glitch through the walls. Any that are wandering around can get out, it's ok...

What sort of base are you guys building?

An huge (I mean HUGE) underground complex, with an area above the surface which will have some aesthetic appeal whilst also having smaller buildings with their own functionalities. I don't believe these have been planned out yet, but the main thing is we need lots of flat land!
If H4 gives me permission, I will post old images of the previous model(s) which will give you all a jist of the concept. Keep an eye out on the forums

Sounds awesome! Post screenshots! I love screenshots! lol

Awww man. Broke my favourite Pickaxe last night... Wasn't paying attenting. Anyone got an Unbreaking III book?

Im sure I do, or a pickwith it

Cool, either would be very helpful! I like to use a pick with just Unbreaking and Eff for my standard stone mining.

What do you want in exchange?

Wil you can take one of my diamond picks with unbreaking 3 in my house at the village
It's in one of the chests with a sign that has "Diamond" , well one of the words at least

It's not even hard to enchant unbreaking III pickaxes these days =P
Too bad I always merge them with eff 4 pickaxes

Well I'm not pro like some, I never get Unbreaking... I will try though. If not, I'll take you up on your offer Sam. I really need to get some spare equipment, but I only have one of everything, and just keep repairing...

It's not about being "pro", is just all about the amount of pickaxes you enchant. Of course you won't get it if you only enchant 2 or 3. I got 2 unbreaking III pickaxes and enchanted like 10.

yeah, just inform me or put a sign saying that you already took it
