I opened it up in the last Alpha version available and came across this:
I really didn't remember building this at first, but obviously did at some point. I guess I took a copy of my main world back to the past using old versions and tied to go to alpha, but the furthest I can go back is beta 1.4 because the worlds had a few accidental deletions back in the early days. (One due to a power cut, the other I'm still not sure but I always guess with my tower lower down then I accidentally kneed the power button?)
I guess I tried to go back to alpha or re-use the seed, but as it so often doesn't work out I usually don't keep the save, odd that I should this time and store it somewhere like that. I'm not sure whether to keep it now or what I'd do with it. I moved it to beta 1.0 then after a play and growing tired of a chest bug moved it to b1.0_01 but whether I keep it or not remains to be seen.
There's also a spider dungeon in the opening of a cave situated at the bottom of a mountain opposite my home, when I get to the point were XP comes in; I will convert it to a mob farm.
Yesterday I continued it after getting the idea to create a modular home - a series of 4 by 1 circular modules linked by a 4 long 2 wide corridor. This being the circle:
At first I just added one out the front for a new entrance and one to the side as a future bedroom moving the game into beta 1.02
I decided that I needed at least two more modules - one for a living area and another for storage, as well as using the back one as a way down into the mine, creating a very odd looking shape out of the front now:

| Cow Levi-OSA! |
One problem I had was I had already moved the way down to the mine from the middle of the floor to the side but on the left side of the very back module, had an infinite water source I had put along side a wall - both of which had to be relocated to add the two extra corridors and modules either side.
Before:
After:

| The fencing here is wrong and has since been changed, the way down is on the left not the right so the gap is corrected to the left side now. |
Also created a furnace wall on the landing to the mine:
Also, inadvertently - have a little center court because of the nature of the modules. Completely unintentional. Some of the tops of the buildings also have cobble stairs as an extra detail.
As of today:
The outside is rapidly expanding with modules:
As you go in we have a living area module to the left..
The corridor leads to the back module featuring two corridors left and right for a further two modules for the bedroom (Left) and storage (Right):
Finally a view of what it looks like from the top to give you an idea of size.
I'm slowly working my way up to Beta 1.3 - that's the goal. With leaf decay re-written and redstone repeaters according to the notes, but most importantly beds! It gets tiresome keep walking from spawn (Across what would be the sand farm islands by the Half-way House in the 8 year old current version. No chunk wall here though these days.) Especially when you have to wade across water - the Update Aquatic was a God send!
I need to set my spawn!
Looks like I'm keeping the world for now, without a doubt as I get into further updates and make it more a home it will not stay at three high walls inside. I'm kind of interested to see how it might develop from this very basic modular structure and the world around me. There are currently a lot more pigs, sheep and cows in the area now.
