Well you could build a bunch of stuff to burn I guess.

Hmn, brun everything then I guess.

....I'll get the cocoa beans.

Capslock for effect...

You will need a double boiler. Next update?

So, I played the latest snapshot for a bit.

It seems like potatoes are much more efficient than wheat.

Thirty blocks of tilled ground yielded fourty to fifty excess potatoes (that is, after replanting), which after being cooked, results in about four times as much food as the equivalent amount of wheat.

So that puts them at about the same level as melons, all things considered.

The main problem will be actually getting a potato....

Get it from a zombie, also, carrots can be gained from zombies too. That is why zombie grinders are gonna be all the rage.

I read: "The main problem will be actually getting a potato.... "

And I was so tempted to post "Just ask Sky", but my brain kept telling me not to.

And yet you came here anyway.

Am I telepathic?

Saying you aren't going to say it is saying it anyway mate. I am slowly accepting that potatoes are going to be a part of everyday minecraft from now on, my beloved bread will be neutralised...

So anyway, I'm definitely gonna be adding a tuber farm to my properties now it's a very useful food.

The poison tuber byproduct is very rare.

I never said I wasn't going to say it, just that my brain kept telling me not to.

Noticed an annoying thing about the anvil.

You can only name, at most, a stack of seven items at a time. And you can't combine stacks of named items.

There goes my turning potatoes in to POTATES.

Perhaps a potato/carrot farm addition at spawn?

I'm also excited to add anvil pitfalls to my secret vault.

Also, those seven items take thirty five levels to rename lol.

Tower garden level done (well I've still got to add some birch trees and little bits). Next...adding the walls and the other couple of floors before I hit the skybox. Adding a one high cobble wall to the perimeter used up half a dozen stacks. =/

Nice

Just a heads up Watch this space

Must finish my bloody castle -.-

...Wait, are you people being serious about the Compass Rose thing? Have none of you ever read up on Cartography at all?

Pointlessly elaborate front door (until I get around to making a proper gate). The big thing in the back's my tower (who'd've thunk it?), and what I'm falling off when the "Wyrmalla plummeted to his death like a dolt" appear.

Finally you get around to fixing that garden and taking pictures.

I know it's map making, that's about it.
But, when I think about it I get what it is now; those marks on maps that act as a compass, right?

Zombie EXP grinders, since they're rare drops like iron. Not that anyone really bothers to make normal zombie grinders.

A compass rose is the symbol on a map that shows north south east and west. Normally North will be pointing "up" from the view of the reader, and the Northern arm will be red, with the East, West, and South arms being white or black.

It's basically just a quick reference so you can tell when you're holding the map correctly, and allows you to use an actual compass with the map. By lining up the actual compass with the compass rose, you can quickly get your map lined up with the local terrain, and figure out where you're at.

Here's an incredibly over complicated explanation of it for you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compass_rose

I claim this cliff and the surrounding general area for my next project.

The server I'm playing on had a map change, so I've been working on a new house for around two hours now. This is it so far

Im satisfied with it so far.

This has made me realise how insignificant and pointless I have been on the server.

Just build whatever you want and don't aim to be all impressive and such.

Build a scale replica of Brazil!

I call dibs on the sugar industry.

Sorry, just had 2 hours off xD

It wasn't about your house.
It looks nice so far, just need to finish it.

I know, but I need to say something
And that is only the hallway

As a rule. ....I suck at making circles.
