I just got my java working and I got Minecraft.
It's a great game. Okay,I'll admit it can get fustrating when monsters blow-up your house,but if you play it on Easy it won't be so bad.
Or even play on peaceful if the monsters get annoying.
My one problem is that my land has very little flat open ground.

yeah its a pain, you have to either fill in valleys or just mine away mountains most of the time.
So, me and a friend are trying to set up a server, can't figure it out. Does anyone have a server we can play on or help us figure this out? No griefing here, just lookin to see what we can construct together.
If you need me, I'll be busy wiping the layers of dust off my dice.

Working with the confines of the scenery can be an interesting challenge, I don't do it often but when I do I seem to enjoy building more (possibly because I don't have to spend an hour flattening an area). Still blasting the top of a mountain off is always worth while. Only ever been able to use at most 3 or 4 tnt but even that produces a pretty big boom.
Khorne is more pleased ¬.¬ All it's missing is a few skulls, maybe a bloodfall instead of a waterfall...
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.
"You need not fear us, unless you are a dark heart, a vile one who preys on the innocent; I promise, you can’t hide forever in the empty darkness, for we will hunt you down like the animals you are, and pull you into the very bowels of hell." Iron - Within Temptation
So I noticed something odd while clearing a mountain on the island that is to be my base.
I would have been less surprised (if the trees are in the way of construction flint and steel to the rescue), but that was a new area I hadn't been to yet.
So I walk through the "forest" for a while and find the source.
There were also quite a few flaming pigs, chickens and cows on the way as well. But, I've never actually come across any lava like this before.
Yeah it's quite common now to get lava lakes, I've got 3 on my world which gave the surrounding trees and wildlife problems until I came along with a bucket of water.

So I finally finished that Creeper statue. The problem being that the feet look a little big. >_>
Soon as I get around to it I'm just going to build a decent wall around the stone area I've got the statue on and keep it as a courtyard.
I guess he looks better when you're further away though.
Just not from a low angle.
It also doubles as a second watch tower.
Here's the new additions to my base since the last pictures of it I posted, looking down from my watch tower.
From the Creeper's perspective.
All that I've really added on are the "forge" room, with a cobblestone machine.
And a mine, which luckily enough ended up connecting to a cavern system that I got lost in for an hour or so. Plan is to add a mine cart track in the middle there later on.
So far I've been connecting the small buildings that make up my base with bridges like this small one.
Not sure but I may end up joining all the buildings together in the end.
I wanted to get a good look at that forest from a little earlier when I found the lava lake so I built some observation pillars in the lake. I thought it looked cool so took some pics.
No more pics for a while after this, I think I'm putting up too many.
Looking from left to right.
Not every day you see a forest burn itself down like this. Cool thing is it gives out lots of free stuff though.
If I were to build a base on every cool mountain in my current world I'd have about 20 of the damn things all within 100 blocks or so of another one. My map has so many cool mountains I don't know what to do with them all.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Actually maybe it's not so bad. I was walking along one of the beaches next to my base and saw a hole with sand at the bottom. It also had two block high cobblestone walls so I dug the sand out and found my first above ground dungeon.
Literally a 30 second walk from my front door in the opposite direction of the burning forest.

I've got a singleplayer map going that I'm going to Import to a server once I'm happy with it. I've got a few small villages built, and I think once I get an extensive enough (foot) highway network built, I'll start on a few major cities with walls, giant castles, cathedrals, and all the good stuff that make medieval cities awesome.

I accidentally lit my entire forest on fire... Over 300 trees on fire...
