Exploration!

Decided to explore a bit more but I wanted to do it in style so I made a bridge that allows me to cross WATER!

Why not?

I was thinking to myself, "What am I going to do with this massive ditch in the ground?" After looking at it for a while, I decided to build a pyramid on top of it, check it out.

Circuits

I've seen tons of videos recently explaining how you can use redstone to basically "paint" a circuit. The way it works is very similar to circuit logic in the form of "gates". I'm not necessarily an expert in circuits but I am in a BS program for electrical engineering so I definitely understand how it works, after watching a few videos about redstone being used in Minecraft I decided to make my own displays. I started with something simple by having a switch that turns on a bunch of lights in a pattern.

That's before I flip the switch, this is after...

After fiddling with it for a while, I got the lights to blink, I'm going to try to add on to this and make a fancier display. If anyone wants to learn, I think I could explain it pretty well in detail.

Time? Plenty of it.

I saw this video where someone dug a massive hole and wanted to try the same, I ended up turning it into a pool and a waterfall. Check it out.

... and the waterfall...

It's pretty sweet.

I also built in some secrets into my map, so yeah, check it out.

Exploring

I guess the 1st thing people do is explore for different ores so they can make stuff, what better way to do this than to dig a massive tunnel. I got pretty lucky today after digging this massive tunnel.

... and it keeps going...

... and going...

... until I hit bedrock and found a cave...

... an EPIC cave, I found everything I will ever need in this cave. To keep exploring, just let me know and I'll be sure to have the server running.

Just so people know, I back up my world every day so I don't really mind if someone griefs.

Introduction

Well, I just got this Minecraft game that I've heard so much about. I figured that I wanted to be creative and make my own stuff but I also want it to be available so I set up a server on my computer. Since it's on my computer, it wont be up 24/7 but thats ok, it allows me to moderate it when its up.

I took some screenshots of everything I've done so far but decided to post them over time.

That was after the 1st day. Here's inside.

It has a nice view of the ocean.

Just in case anyone cares, to connect to my server, select multiplayer and type in 5.3.169.198, I'll probably be on late at night.
