Ahh lego, how do you get the world sized map view? Would love to see my world from that far

Opera can view PNG just fine, but I get internal server error when trying to view them.

download and use this:

to get the same view. Mine is heavily heavily cropped there as I've explored a long way to the east.

My god legoburner that is a lot of cobblestone.

The pyramid is pure sex for the mind, nice work.

He needs to add some more bricks inside. Maybe some catecombs and hallways? Is that possible? Also maybe a few air vents aligned with the orion's belt.

I think I may have to download Invedit and just improve my building skills. This way I get to play Minecraft and get better at making stuff (I'm pretty crappy currently ).

I'm going to replace the top of the pyramid with neverstone and set it on fire once I'm done. The inside will be my main base with a couple of massive mob traps feeding in to a single loot room. Some sort of throne would be nifty as well, perhaps in the dead centre.

Dude....

Legoburner, shouldn't you be doing something constructive for Dakka, and not wasting your life away on Minecraft, like Dakka?

Tried to download Beta,
I doesn't work, there only appear a text that says:

Could not create the java virtual machine.

What should i do?

Update Java?

I already have the latest version, even reinstalled it to be sure.
But still the same text.

Yes. Yes I should.

After playing Minecraft, I can't blame Legoburner for taking some time off and just enjoying this great game.

Good idea.

I have done the same on my second map (my first and primary map is completely untouched by any third party program) so that I can toy around with things when I'm feeling like building something unique and new.

That pyramid is awesome. Almost like some sort of alien artifact plopped down in the middle of the world.

The volume of mats for it reminds me of what I need to excavate for my underground cavern, ~33,000 m^3 for the full size. I think I'm at about 10,000 excavated right now. I need to expand my mine down instead of out and see if I can find some lava so I can make a trash disposal for all the damn dirt and gravel.

Iron's not too hard to find. Remind yourself that it's never going to be over 5 levels over sea level so when you go looking for a spot to mine don't start too high. Then it occurs at the rate of about one block per 200. If you do and optimal mine that means you'll come across a block on average every 15 to 30 meters in shaft distance. When I'm working in my mine I can generate a full stack of iron for about every hour of work... and a freaking mountain of cobblestone.

Yeah, iron is easy to find once you get below sea level. Not as easy as coal which I find in ridiculous quantities, but still, very easy.

I am a magnet on minecraft I find so much iron it becomes annoying as iron takes too long to mine.

Lucky bastard. I find it in segments of four to eight, one cache of iron probably every half hour if I'm lucky. Depends on if I run into a cavern full of monsters or not...

I think I may start a new world when I get my laptop back, then i'll create a island and underwater base. My standard above ground base is pretty much complete and i'm too lazy to bother building it down into the mountain it's placed ontop of.

And starting new worlds is exciting.

Not all monsters die from direct sunlight, the notorious creepers do not, and neither do spiders (however, these become neutral), currently there are only a few different mobiles though, so this may change in the future.

But torches may soon be replaced with lanterns... Which may be annoying if the current placed torches aren't replaced by lanterns if Notch decides to do this.

On a side note, the Nether is frightening the first time you venture there, especially with all of the groans and pigmen, but Netherrack is very fun to play with!

I went to the nether from the bottom of my mine shaft. BIG MISTAKE, i was far underground listening to screaming trying to dig my way out

I have never spawned in a good place in the Nether. Every portal i've made around my base has resulted in a portal being spawned right next to the ceiling and having to make a lengthy and often dangerous trip down.

Have just given up on the Nether being an unlimited lava source for now, I'll will experiment on other worlds probally.

@Lego: That is just so awesome..

I'm the same, I've got loads of the damn stuff (got too much coal too).

I might have a decent excuse to start a new world soon, my PC seems to be on it's last legs so I've ordered a whole load of new parts, I reckon getting it's gaming life off to a start with a new minecraft world would be quite suitable since that'll be it's main use for a while.

For me it's the same, except instead of iron it's coal. Dunno.

Annoyingly enough, I FINALLY mined my way to the bottom-- saw the bedrock for the first time-- then died to a spider silently sneaking up and hitting me from behind, knocking all of my stuff off into a lava pit. Or at least enough that I'm glad this was an invedit world instead of the main one.

I should take a screenshot of the remains of the fortress I used to first enter the nether.

It was made of wood save for the roof and somehow caught fire after a creeper explosion. It is now apparently made mostly of air.

Nice pyramid Lego
I like the building over to the left in the ocean as well. Looks like some sort of arena.

Using boosters on the track?

Make sure you copy the world across though Nick, you may miss it later after a while.

Yeah I'm backing everything up today including Minecraft.

How do you find the time to harvest all those rescources? i have dificulty finding even iron!

I built a cottage complete with lawn on the bedrock It took so god damn long for the grass to get there...

feth! the bastard deleted my good world :(
