I made a mob grinder last night (from the video @Kord posted in the first post) it's got 6 levels and it took me 4 hours to build. I had some help from @Strategist and @sLAUGHTER and I didn't take screenies because I was in the zone.. then I dropped my pizza on the floor.

 

Strat was recording it, I hope he posts the video because that would be cool to see. I'll take some screenies tonight when I get off work. I'm really impressed with how it turned out

I didn't see it until you just pointed it out xD

Cannot unsee

Thanks for building my blue penis.

however unintentional it was, it shall stay forever in your honor.

Your subconscious obviously wanted to succumb to my wishes.

This is what I have been working on this afternoon with a bit of time to myself

 

This version that I made is updated for the newer potions, post 1.8 (which this tutorial does not include).

Here is a reference chart for those of you who don't know ingredients for various potions off-hand.

That looks awesome, @Strategist!

Very cool Strat!  Thank you!

That's beautiful, I love it! I really like the differently colored stained glass in each of the buildings, too.

[Cory]

amazing how something as simple as stained glass can take something to the next level. Looks great.

Where is this?

Where is this?

 

it's at the north end of spawn.. it's the new trading village.

I'll take a look tonight,

 

So pretty.

Yup, it's purdy from what I have heard @Strategist and @Swarley say of it while they worked on it, and the images too of course! I haven't visited it yet but will later tonight (after dinner and watching a show or two with the new sound system that hubby hooked up to the television today while we were snowed in...hey, sounds like he did some meaningful work despite being housebound!).

With the help of various peeps on the server, we masterminded this beauty Was intended to be a 'biome showcase' building, with each floor (there is an equal amount of floors below the structure too) showing off a selected biome 'theme'. Not sure if this will work (we even converted a cavern below the structure to resemble the Nether) and if it doesn't I was thinking that maybe, we could create a massive transport hub instead. We have LOTS of 'off shore' areas now that are waaaay too far away to reach easily, so why not make it easy? I would be interested in peoples thoughts. We could maybe even reserve floors for each person to have their own mini tp hub?

It's cool as all heck. Can't wait to check it out.

Have a feeling it'll even be breathtaking from ground level looking up.

But... why'd you have to destroy the castle that was already there when there's more than enough space for something like that literally anywhere else?

Yeah.... well that wasn't intentional.... I was trying to clone and move the Iron Titan (that large contraption in the background to the left of the bottom image) closer to the village, but miscalculated the co-ordinates and ended up taking out half of the castle.... 

 

My bad?

Oh geez! lol

Shit happens. Was a cool castle, but this looks so much more awesome anyways.

Hopefully the original owner will understand... if they ever return.

Sacrifice the few for the many or whatever? lol

 

A mini hub would definitely be appreciative.

One can never have too many machines n things to save time where one can.

More time crafting less time doing.

 

So are the biomes functional atm or still need some tweaking?

Is there anything I can do to help with it?

[Chameleon]

Wow Strat that's beautiful.  Did we move dimensions?  It looks like we have two moons now.

[Romy]

I'm really happy it turned out so nicely
(Also, great decision with the stairs in the back @Strategist!)

I may need help shortly with a couple of things. We should all get together and discuss what we would like to use it for I think.

Thanks Heather! Nah that's just Chroma Hills pack I think.

Damn I wish my buildings look more like Startegist's instead of just big ass boxes lol

I started building a Maya-like temple, very cliche tbh, with mazes and traps and RollerCoasters, but the server I was on was closed so I lost everything. Since then I haven't build anything, but i'm sorts of inspired by this thread now~
