Continuing the 1.8 Update!

Well it's been just over a year since I last posted and I'll begin exactly where I left off! Last time I was converting the old emergency minecart exit into a bunny home, suffice to say this was completed a long time ago and extended into the back. As was the new bathroom (Former rear lounge over-looking the pool) which last year was only just being started in it's conversion:



Of course it was finished and looks a little more lived in over the last year:




You can read what else changed in my world in the ye old (Now inactive) thread at the official Minecraft forums: Here.

The biggest project I'm working on in my main world however, is a very ugly chunk border I've had for years - pretty near my home:



I've already made a connecting bridge from where the dirt stairs are in the top picture, and am embarking in a massive project to re-generate the chunk in the bottom picture by turning it into, apartments, possibly a hotel and provisionally shops as well:




This project could very well at least take a year, not to mention I had to find new sheep after a creeper jumped down into my temporary sheep pit! I would want the mountain part of the buildings to be white/various hardened clay which also means a lot of travelling to get that much clay.

Currently I've also been converting my mob are at the very base of my home in a mountain. Up until yesterday, I build an indoor battle tower which has been replaced. At the bottom I built a new skinny core up to 24 blocks high with a long cross-ways on top of it that houses 2 block high 3x3 spawning pads for mobs. The sides of these pads have trapdoors making them think it's full block and in between the pads there is running water. They spawn on the pads, try to cross to the neighboring one (Mistaking the trapdoor for a full block) and fall into the water which travels them to the central hole that is the top of the core - leading them to their death (Or 1 heart/half heart) after the fall. Most only require a one shot. Hoppers go into the chests at the bottom.

This was all done from a video tutorial.

As the very bottom floor no longer needs to be covered in complete darkness, I am currently renovating it to make it look better. Up to now it's always been the stone of the mountain with cobble patches.








Light changes..

 So as I plan a build (On my creative copy) for the horrible chunk error wall next tot the hotel at the Chunk Plaza development, i've be...
