O_O I believe you have just outdone yourself.

**Dog Gunmorgan** · #**182** 08-02-2011, 02:42 PM

that thing is awesome! did you do that legit? (semi at least)

FightingExecutioner · #**183** 08-02-2011, 04:17 PM

Awesome Build! I actually want to get that great, but I'm still trying to work around my problems when it comes to building, which is stop the urge to lay TNT

Captain Sharktooth · #**184** 08-02-2011, 06:55 PM

Well now you can build with TNT. :P As long as there are no levers around....

Well, I had to use TooManyItems, and SPC's fly, infiniteitems, damage, and setspeed commands. But it is hand-built. Could you imagine doing that 100% legit? That's all iron blocks in the frame!

Well, I learned that when I was planning a controlled demolition and placed a TNT accidentally next to the Pressure plate to open the iron door. Lets just say the building that was being demoed was no more but I escaped safely

I am in the search of diamond currently since I only have 15 and need more and was wondering where everyone finds their diamond, in caves or like a tunnel down low?

WitchdoctorDan · #**188** 08-03-2011, 02:45 AM

Wow Stephen. That is utterly amazing. I thought the mansion I built that took 5 days was good. It actually seems unworthy now that I've seen that Arena. Imma just destroy it and live in a hole in the ground now. XD

And Tom, Look for a REALLY large cave system that goes so far down you find still lava pools. Diamond is usually around lava pools.

"Look at your boring, old, iron pick. Now look at me. Now, look back at the pick. THE PICK IS NOW DIAMONDS."

The best method (I find) for finding diamonds is going down coordinate y:14, and digging single 2h x 1w tunnels straight. Then, every 3 blocks, dig into the side down four blocks (just 1h x 4l space). I found 30 diamonds and nearly 2000 redstone within 4 days.

The key really is to get down to coordinate y:14. Diamonds only appear in chunks from 16 down, and 14 is just above where lava pools will spawn.

I'm not going to lie, while it's not legit, it's beautiful.

I'm doing my underground city completely legit and I actually regret it. This is going to take an extremely long amount of time and that's only the first underground city. The second will be accessed from an enterance similar to that of the Parthenon and will look like a park in the Nether.

Doing things legit is extremely hard. I can't believe I decided to start this project. It'll be big enough when I'm done, though, so that I'll be able to make a good 20 buildings in the area. Don't know what I'm going to do. I'll probably ask people for ideas when I finally get to the bottom.

Also, here's my progress for today.

I guess I can't say I'm upset. I've already found five 64 stacks of Iron at the top ten layers.

I'm just realizing the hugeness of what you are attempting. What exactly are the dimensions?

I use TMI and SPC too I'm working on some things.. I have a world just for building on which I play peaceful so no creepers blow up my stuff (only I'm allowed to do that) my current project is a minecart system the station is on the roof of my house so I just climb a ladder grab a cart from my dispenser and take off. I have one junction so far.. working on extending it farther.. we'll see how it turns out. when I'm satisfied with it I'll post a screen shot or two.

WitchdoctorDan · #**193** 08-03-2011, 06:52 PM

MacIronhawk, how big is your quarry? XD

Anyways, after being dragged to Mau5ville by a friend against my will, I learned 3 things:

1: My Internet connection is terrible
2: Don't take the "subway"...
3: Watch out for Deadmau5's traps....

FightingExecutioner · #**194** 08-03-2011, 11:52 PM

I thought I should go ahead and show you guys one of my past builds:

This was made on my second world, I'll show the first later as it is not ready to be seen

I wanted it to be 200 by 50(I said 500 in an earlier post, I don't know why) but the way it's set up it's 114 by 56. Let's assume I have 40 more levels to go. That means I have 255,360 more blocks to carve out in order to reach the bedrock.

Basically, one 114 by 56 layer which has a height of one block has 6384 blocks/bricks/squares to be taken out. Currently, I'm doing an average of about 1/4 of a layer a day. I don't expect to be done with taking out the entire volume for another few months if I continue at my pace. I am slowing down to work on other, smaller projects because this is very big for just one person.

Please note that there are huge cave systems which you can't entirely see yet which will make my job a lot easier because there will be less blocks to clear out. I almost feel silly for taking on a task which could take minutes if I just downloaded the proper mod.
