I have the perimeter top surrounded by cobblestone so all I have to do now is cover the top with sand(there's a lot of water) but I guess I could scavage for some gun powder from creepers.

I can see if I want to do this legit(and I do) it's going to take some work. Well, I guess I'll have to get started. This area isn't going to carve itself out.



EDIT: My progress for today.


Don't let the picture fool you. The sand you see in the picture only takes up about 10% of the surface. It'll probably take a few days to clear the water out with sand(too bad notch didn't add sponges for survival mode) and then dig it out. It's going to be pretty cool to see a complete chunk taken out from top to bottom, though.
