They're like mines we already have only they look extremely different. It's going to make mining really deep down a lot of fun.

P.S. Yeah, I noticed it's been down for a while. Since I'm new to the game I've been using it as a resource but since it's been down I've been on my own. I should be kept busy for the next few days with Obsidian, because I've found an area where it looks like there are at least a hundred blocks.

Yeah I'm looking forward to it and good luck mac if you need help just ask or this guy on youtube makes really good tutorials for new players his names paulsoaresjr heres the link to his first tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VWnQ...9743EA97E8BCDF. Oh and swash can I have the IP plz I'd defiantly play.

I've got a somewhat Obsidian farm. All I did was start digging (was searching for Diamonds actually) and eventually I came to a huge pit of lava. I got a couple buckets full, brought it up to the surface, and made a little pool of it. You can use anything but wood or wool. Make a box shape with four blocks on each side, or if you're cheap like me, only two on each side. From there, pour one bucket of lava into one corner, and then another on the opposite side, and then the same with the other corners. Then, go fill one of the empty buckets with water. come back to your pool of lava, and this part is important. DON'T POUR DIRECTLY ON THE LAVA. That'll only give you Cobblestone. Pour it on whatever is keeping your lava together. After it flows over and creates the obsidian, scoop the water back up, mine the obsidian, and repeat. I was able to make a portal, and for those of you who have been to The Nether, you know that there is PLENTY of lava. So now I go through that portal, which happens to be next to the Obsidian farm. And lucky for me, there's a pool of water right next to it.

I can always post screenshots if you're confused and not quite sure.

I don't have the patience to make anything huge, really. Lol. Possibly the biggest thing I've made is my mob killer. It's not one of those huge underground ones though, but it gives me a decent amount of items.

Yeah I feel you I never really liked mob killers though hey does anybody use any mods here I use a few

[pieisbetter2]

The version I use is sorta an unlicensed copy :P My friend basically put the game in a zip file, so it's the whole game, minus the SMP. It also means I can't use mods.

I use TooManyItems, Zombes Modpack, Single Player Commands, Optimine, Modloader, ModloaderMP, MultiplayerList, Piston mod, and IndustrialCraft.

Also is anyone here building anything big on their Single/Multiplayer. I just finished building a Castle with Cannons, Archers ( Dispensers ), and a Town inside. Now I'm working on a Giant Underground Missle Silo with a missle inside of it filled with TNT, Screenshots coming soon!. After that I'll be looking for inspiration for something else to build. If anyone has any ideas for something big for me to make I'd really appreciate it.

I use TMI, single player commands, zombes, modloader, modloader mp, sdk's (for a server), torches anywhere, and a few others. And do any of you guys know about the hunger games series cause I'm part of a server were were making an arena and were almost finished and were gonna look for contestants soon. Anyways I'm an admin on that server I would give you the link but the forums are down till saturady (stupid curse).

nope you can't play with enemies without paying but its defiantly worth paying the servers the mods and skins and texture packs are all worth paying for and its better to buy it now before it get more expensive cause its gonna keep getting more expensive as it reaches the release date. Its a one time payment. And you can play with your friends but it has to be on a classic server.

Missle Silo is going pretty well, I used SSP Commands to make a 1 block high cylinder and now I'm using World Edit to get rid of the blocks inside of the cylinder. Next I'll make the missle.

[pieisbetter2]

I just went in search for mines/dungeons. Found 34 blocks of Iron, but nothing else really special :/
