1.7 is out and its awesome!
Also I was reading something Notch said and he mentioned a new mob in 1.8...do you think this could mean Herobrine?

[Swash]

Just updated my flymod and Too many Items and then I find out that 1.7.02 is coming out tomorrow.

[Ofury/ Tom]

With the update does that mean you can you play with monsters for free?

[Captain Sharktooth]

Also the 1.8 update said NPC villages are coming.... that sounds awesome!

Anyone know if that would only be for multiplayer though?

[Swash]

So here's one of my creations made with Pistons. I made a bridge over lava that can be raised and lowered with a switch. Unfortunately I'm not good enough with redstone to actually make a switch on the other side lower and raise the bridge as well....

[CarribeanThunder]

Pretty neat, Swash. I could try and get the other-side lever to work.
Also, there was a multiplayer server you guys were talking about?

[Dark_Pixie]

Looks like a retro Tomb Raider game...

[MacIronhawk]

If you POF guys have a Minecraft server I'd gladly join. I've been looking for a good one for a while but so far none I've found have interested me.

[Stephen O'Malley]

I second what MacIronhawk said.

Oh, and I've also been having fun with pistons today on vanilla SSP. Lo and behold, the semi-automatic sugar cane farm:

Spoiler for images:

^Good job with the semi-automatic sugar cane farm! I have a non automatic sugar cane farm which can produce about 100 every harvest but hand picking them can be a pain at times. I have it set up so that I could use pistons if I wanted. Maybe i'll do that later on.

Does anyone know where I could find cacti fast, within five minecraft days of traveling, if that's even possible? You see, my first world starts off in a winter biome, so the first map that I have is kind of surrounded by no deserts. If I wanted to go out searching for a desert, what might be my best bet at finding one? Just walk and get lucky?

An easy way of finding cactus would be to make a compass and start walking in a random direction until you find a desert biome. From there just look for cactus sitting around and break it and take it with you. When your done you just take the compass out and go back to your spawn. If that doesn't work you could always use an inventory editor....

I'll go with the compass plan. While inventory editors and mods can be fun, this first world I'm doing I want to be completely my own. Everything I've built was scavaged from the ground. So far, only about 42 Diamonds but I do have 130 obsidian that I'm collecting for an obsidian only tower.

Hey, I say we starting posting pictures of our houses and worlds. I'm put some up tomorrow. My buildings are small but I'm making a highway of paths to all the edges of the world. In other words, i'm moving very slowly along my world.

I'll try to get some photos of my world up tomorrow as well. Also my next building plan is to build an airfield with planes ( non-flyable ). Whenever Singleplayer Commands gets updated I'll start working on it.

Swash you should build it on the server so everyone can help with it

I'm going to build one on the server, and one on my single player. The single player one will be much bigger and have a lot more in it. Also I recently found out that my world is playable without Industrial Craft, so I could possibly upload the world and pm a download link to anyone who wishes to play on the world.

As promised I have my world seed and screenshots of my castle:


The outside of Swash Castle:



Castle Defenses:




Castle Town:




World Seed: 3787313802694808251
Spawn Coordinates: x:66, y:64, z:82

If you want the world file PM me and I will give you the download link.
Also I would've posted screenshots of my missle silo, but the missle was WAAAAYYY too big. So I have to destroy the missle and rebuild it in a smaller size. With Single Player commands this could've been done quickly, but it hasn't updated so I'm forced to destroy the thing manually. So whenever I finish the missle is when I'll post screenshots of the silo.
