I reckon here or maybe here

Minecraft is a good game and my best defence 1 build house in hill 2 put lava round it about three blocks wide 3 build a bridge two blocks wide across it 4 put pistons on one side of the bridge facing the other row of blocks on the bridge and a lever to flick when mobs are on the bridge

**purplefood**

You could just build a house out of obsidian...

**darkinnit**

But then he doesn't get to burn things!

**purplefood**

We can't all have what we want...
Anyway obsidian is fun

**SagesStone**

Building a house out of obsidian actually allows you to do more burning than you'd think. The house would also be built by burning water.

**darkinnit**

I thought obsidian was cooled lava. Doesn't burnt water make smooth stone? /minecraftlogic

**SagesStone**

In minecraft logic it is both or something. Also smooth stone or cobble depending on how you watch it form.

**orkdestroyer1**

More ultimate defense.....real house in the nether made out of obsidian fake house made out TNT

**darkinnit**

I mean which blocks are left after the reaction. :-)

When making obsidian, the obsidian replaces the lava (ergo, cooled lava)
When making smooth stone, it replaces the water (ergo, burnt water)
When making cobble, it's flowing lava that is replaced by cobble (cooled lava again? a mix?).

SCIENCE!

**SagesStone**

Make the house out of cake instead.

**darkinnit**

**Melissia**

If cobble stone is a mix of obsidian and smoothestone, that would explain why ti's slightly harder than smoothestone.

If no one has any objections, I'd like to claim this island:

Looks cool, whatcha making?

**GangstaMuffin24**

Not sure yet. Probably a castle or something unimaginative.

**SagesStone**

Do it.

**darkinnit**

No, as the nearest things are Wolf's battleships, you should build this:

(No offence Wolf!)

*Edit, better angled picture

**SagesStone**

Build both.

Build a huge tnt cannon on it.

**purplefood**

I'm sure there's a way to make an autoloader for a tnt cannon...
Just need to figure it out...

**SagesStone**

There is actually, "minigame" I linked a couple pages back has two side by side with an ammo counter for each one.

**purplefood**

Nice...
I'll try and find it.

**SagesStone**

There we go. No tutorial though.

This one seems to be kind of complex to build. Cannons have an ammo counter, adjustable range and reload automatically. The only issue is they will missfire if you spam them so you have to wait for it to at least fire the shot before pressing the button again. If you press the buttons on one cannon too quickly it will detonate the ammo for both and the tnt that drops out the platform if you lose.

It does start off slow though.

With Soviet logo's on it.
For sheer coolness.

**GangstaMuffin24**

All great ideas. I'd willingly accept help if anyone wants to.

Are there any large cow farms on the server ATM?

I have one with about 10-15 at the moment.

**Matt.Kingsley**

There was one at the elf tree, but through glitches and midless killing there's only about 2 avtually in the farm...
There are tonnes wandering around it, though
