Calling "Time" at the Great-Green Tavern

'Tis a sad day on my World#2 as it's finally time to demolish and pull down the old tavern:

The fact is, over the last two years my building style has changed and improved greatly, and although this current tavern is only a year old, if that, it's time for it - and it's retro sandstone blocks, to go. It shall rise again however, in it's new form styled on the outside very much in the style of the kingdoms mode, so it will be larger, notably with an upstairs as well. In just one Minecraft night I went up to the roof and took it apart then went around the four walls lowering the building to the ground..

I may change the interior walls to wood and make it really rustic, not sure yet. Since I continued this morning you can see that I out on a small extension at the side so it's a little bit longer and not totally square and boring. Although, with the upstairs overhanging the downstairs, it will be quite different anyway.

I've also started re-decorating the back viewing room (With the water-window) adding more colored wool and might add a few item frames to keep a nautical/sea theme!

No carrots, but Diamonds and.. POTATOES!

So I did a very stupid thing. I was playing on a server belonging to someone I'm subscribed to on You Tube, and I had to revert it back to 1.3.2; after playing however I forgot to change it back to the snapshot. Without thinking I went to my World #2 and soon discovered my carrot farm was gone. After all that work and finally managing to get a carrot.

Thankfully I managed to get another carrot and with bonemeal stared again. In the meantime I decided I needed diamond tools again and needed a new place to mine them, and I found the perfect place. Since I started this world two years ago there is this hole in the ground, a cave not too far from the rear of my mountain home. It's on the way to the half-way house and although I have explored it I've not gone extensively in there. So I am turning this into a full mine:

I managed to find a few diamonds and have a few left over, I did lose my sword later but have enough to replace it. I also have back with about 2 & a bit stacks of Iron! i really needed some more anyway, and I founds loads as well as some more gold. Also I was gaining xp in my mob chamber and I saw an item drop, when I went round to check it out after it was clear and I got a potato! As you know it only takes 1 potato/carrot for a farm and with some bonemeal I now have a full potato farm! I now have lots of carrots, some bake potatoes as well as the new item pumpkin pie.

As of this post, the furniture in the new-look dinning room is installed, it's just the pictures to add once the bug glitch has been fixed. yesterday I also added the furniture in the patio area outside the back of said dinning room and decided to open the back entrance a little, mainly due to aesthetics and being equal on both sides. As a result I've tried to create a more "patio doors" kind of look with glass.

At the moment here is the current bucket list of things to do:

*Lower half wall decoration in dining room kitchen + fittings. (Started first one)
*Re-decorate library.
*Re-decorate Viewing area. (Water-window room)
*Start making potions After recently making lots of awkward potions. (Started)
*Finish changing walls to clay blocks in new stairs from living room extension
*Furniture for front room extension


Bigger projects in this world:
*Continue the digging underneath the bridge for my underwater glass tunnel for my Minecart railway.
*Completely flatten pub/tavern and rebuild in new style.
*Re-decorate the very long passage ways of the Emergency Exit tunnel!
*Finish re-decorating the art gallery one day! (If I even find materials I like!)
*Build big stone wall around Mount DOOOoooom 

I've also removed the mini en-suite kitchen in the bedroom, not really needed. Not sure what to put there though. Also moved the first couple of steps to downstairs from the bedroom over as it's safer.

The Three C's!: Coca Beans, Clay and Carrots!!

So lately I decided to turn on LAN mode on my world #2. I did this because, although I have a jungle tree farm I have no coca beans! *sad face. When you have an old Alpha world like mine, not only do you have to travel an extremely long way to find a new chunk with each version, but you have to travel an INSANE distance! So I turned on LAN so I could travel there and sure enough after a very long while I found a new jungle biome complete with coca beans. I picked about a stack of coca beans and when I got back, not only did I make cookies, I also dyed two white sheep for infinite brown wool and replanted some of the coca beans on my jungle trees for infinite coca!

Now if only I could just get a carrot and a potato from a zombie...

After crafting and filling up a diary, I made a new book for co-ordinates, so whilst at the jungle I took a screenshot of the co-ordinates so I could get back their easily, and return I did. Upon my return I went clay hunting and came back with about a dozen (maybe) stacks of clay blobs. I have built some stairs leading up from the extension off the front room, (formerly the mushroom farm) that now leads right up to the back lounge, a new route up to this room instead of via the bedroom! The first stairway down from the back lounge however, is clay blocks, hence all clay needed. It also means I can finish the outside walls of the bedroom converting it from cobblestone to brick.

As well as this, as mentioned in my latest video, an update video I cover the new entrance to the V.I.P. room as well as modernizing the decoration inside that room as well. Also talk about my fail attempts at recording a nether episode, I did get plenty of soul sand however for the lower half of the dinning room walls and plenty of Glowstone. All the walls are done, most of the lighting in the great dinning room re-decoration, as well as a great deal of progress on the new kitchen.

After a week, maybe two I still haven't got a potato or carrot of a zombie, but when I was looking for something else to do I decided to upgrade the doggy kennel, I never got that far. As I cleared my inventory I found I did have a carrot! The painterly [texture pack] website hasn't updated yet, so there's no texture for it right now. It doesn't even show as the default look just a blanks gap where a carrot (and item frames) should be. So I must of had it a little while and not even have noticed! I set about changing my farm, the old mushroom farms (Below the wheat farm outside) has been terra-formed  into the new farm for carrots (3 rows) and potatoes (5 rows.) A new secret door on the back wall facing the stairs you come down, now leads to the new mushroom farm.
