MAIN WORLD: Three Month Update! Part #4


Main world, survival. Begun in 2010 in Alpha, I found a mountain with a hollow front and lava pouring down the front, round the back a single block waterfall coming out of the wall.. I decided it was a nice place to make a home! In 2012 after 2 years and developing my building style I began a mass re-generation scheme of my world, inside and outside. This is the story of my main world...

Last Updates & Future Ideas/Plans 

In the last chapter of my three month update, when I didn't blog, I'm shall cover the more extensive projects of the re-generation of this world and future ideas and plans.

One of the major projects has been the underwater/underground minecart tunnel. When it used to be on the surface of the ocean - next to the bridge, the water to the far right froze up as the biome changed to the more snowy kind. So the only way out for the boats was the left side of the bridge, which was blocked off by the surface minecart tracks. (Blocks of wood over the ocean surface with rails.) For this reason, I demolished it and started digging under the bridge for part one of the underground tunnel - being underwater, part #2 being underground all the way to Mount DOOOOoooooom.

 When I last posted about this, I had 97% or done of Phase #1 (Underwater tunnel part) done; with just some finishing off to do. In the three months I didn't post I finished decorating either end of phase #1, the end of which being at the other side of the ocean by the church; and finally glassed over the rest of the roof so that both sides of the tunnel and roof are now completely surrounded by the water.




Yes, I need to get rid of that last little bit of dirt above!

 I'm not sure if I'll decorate the rest of the underground tunnel ( To Mount DOOOOoooooom.) in the same way - except red wool instead of green, it does take a lot of sand for the sandstone.

With  Mount DOOOOoooooom, I finally began the great conversion and started surrounding the place with a cobble wall. When I first found this mountain behind the one by the church is was a strange lumpy shape with two dirt spires on one of the tops and it reminded me of something out of Lord Of The Rings:





It also had chunk borders on some of it's sides, but nevertheless; I was inspired by it's shape to make it a tower. I got so far with it and done some building work and it remained like this for a very, very long time:



Which was fine, despite the dangerous stairs leading up you could just fall over the side, and the narrow single stairs inside. I always said though, that one of the very last projects I would do was this one. The plan was to make a big stone brick wall around it and turn every dirt block into stone as well. Well it has begun. The stone is now cobble though. Originally I was trying to keep the shape of the original mountain as much as possible but I have found this very impractical. Inside the front tower the ladders up have been replaced with stairs, which doesn't leave much room, and this is why I just need to build it as I wish now. 





You can tell in picture #1 that the structure of the main, front tower has changed to fit the stairs. This is but the base shape however, lacking details and decoration. I have a nice wall going around it and may extend into another "Chunk corner" unseen round the back. The stairs going up to the tower are now all double width with safety walls in between, but the biggest difference is at the top of those stairs. There's now a flat area where I leveled off a section both across and taken the walls of the mountain back.

Still a lot of work to do of course, but that's not all. I might make the church double height as well. Tried it on my creative copy of my world and liked it. I still have the barn (Former pub) to finish, get some more horses, mate them. Decorate the enchantment room and finish the kitchen in the dining room once and for all as well as the inside rooms of the apartment block!

Should I make this double height?
