Recent activities:

• Constructed a smallish cattle ranch at what was the terminus of my South Road. An ongoing WIP.
  
  
• Modified a river-spanning bridge just south of the new cattle ranch. An ongoing WIP.
  
  
• Went on an lengthy exploratory expedition, traveling far from home. Discovered my first desert temple. Two real-life days later I found another. Thanks to YouTube videos I knew to avoid the traps. (They were fairly obvious. I like to think I'd have spotted them on my own.)
  
  
• Found an Extreme Hills biome not generated an older version of the game. Bored a stairwell down to diamond level. Mined my first emeralds. Unearthed a decent amount of diamonds too. Encountered my first silverfish.

Been experimenting with portals with mobs/items

Also been trying to create a brand new, unthought of design of mob tower using tripwires, cats and villagers.

I got a CARROT

I created a music room. One jukebox for every music disc except 11 and wait (I play 1.4.2, waiting for mods to update). Each jukebox has an item frame.
What a waste of diamonds.

Started a sheep farm!

[Avengers_Assemble]

I had a creeper blow up really close to my chicken farm, blowing up a couple of chickens and also blowing up the fence, allowing everyone to escape. I was really dreading having to find chickens again, then having to get them to follow me all the way back to my house. Then I realized that I still had 64 eggs. Broke 32 of them and got 5 chicks to come out. Cool! Now I have a chicken farm again.

I've also started building more portals to link various areas I've found in the overworld. So much easier to get to the closest NPC village now. Also built a portal shortcut to a second abandoned mineshaft I found weeks ago. I happened to write down the F3 coordinates, so built a portal to get there.

I finished the outside part of my new house, then dug out two 20x16x5 areas under it to move my workshop, chests, IC2 machines, and EE2 setup into it. I also set up a 17/5 Mk III solar flower in the base near an Alchemical Chest and my 2 Red Matter furnaces.

I also demolished the part of my old base that housed the enchantment table and potion brewing area, and moved everything into one of the 20x16x5 spaces. On the opposite side of that area I put 3 Coke Ovens and 2 Blast Furnaces (both Railcraft structures). I was kind of concerned at first that the lava generated in the latter when smelting iron into steel would set the wooden floor of my house above it on fire, but it did not.

Into the second area I put all my chests, IC2 machines, MFE and Geothermal Generator, my 17/5 solar flower and the rest of my EE2 setup. The machines are along one wall, the chests (all from the Iron Chests mod, most are gold, 2 diamond) along the back wall, and on the opposite wall from the IC2 machines I put the EE2 structures.

Now that the old base is empty, I need to finish working on the house. The interior needs walls and the second and third floors (the back center portion is the only 3rd floor area) need windows. I still have my bed in the old base on the same level as my minecart tracks, so it will need to be moved. I plan to either leave the tracks in place as they are, or run some elevator tracks down to ground level.

I will eventually upgrade the entire rail line between the bases to high speed; that will require a lot of gold, blaze powder, and smelting iron ingots into steel in the blast furnaces

Put stone brick stairs all over the place in my ravine home.

I recently had multiple intense battles on my Minecraft Family series.

I returned to my desert village after an overnight fishing trip to find this guy in the chicken coop:



My first ever iron golem.    Who spent the next couple of days guarding the chickens, until I took down a bit of fence and let him wander out....  

Now threre are chickens everywhere...

I finished a minecart track to connect my two nether portals in the nether:

[LiwenDiamond]

Eastern wall has been completed. Now only south and west walls remain to be built. Might run out of stone bricks before it's all over. Then the watchtowers and gates. Those will definetly put me out of my reserves of stone bricks so I'll need to get more. Then we get to work on building everything in the inner courtyard...

Slowly, but surely, Diamond's Castle nears completion.

My new farms. One half is finished. It is semiautomatic, controlled from my base. It produces a stack of wheat and carrots and transports them to my storage room.
The other half will contain automatic pumpkin and reed farm. Less efficient though. Only for 14 pumpkins and 16 reeds.

I am also going to build this at the end of my transporting channel:


update:
Finished the farms. Auto-harvesting using buttons on the control panel. All the loot waitsfor me already before me going two floors down.

Spoiler:

[Nameloc86]

Made a cow farm, created a map for a new area, went exploring through a VAST jungle (but no jungle temple),journeyed through a desert (no desert temple but TWO villages!) and returned home.

Extended my armory room. Now it is almost twice as big as it was before. And making room fr it I found redstone wires in 2 places and the water transportation system I made earlier running right outside the area. Luckily I had to move only a short section of redstone one block further. It is getting croudy underground around my base
