Hello everybody, this is my first attempt on a big project, im not a new player to Minecraft, but i never tried this big, i just liked playing and stuff.. this project started a week ago (around January 15 or so)...
This was the land before any construction, just the seed:
Here is a little tower and a shrine (with a ladder to the caves lol) from the beggining, just made these to spot the terrain from far away (specially at night), now these dont exist anymore lol
This one is my ranch (the old version), next to itis the old shrine
This weird tower was just an experiment, but i liked it so i let it stay, now i use it as the enchanting place, it fits pretty well inside
Enderman caught on photo! =)
The ranch, version 2.0.. i had to kill every animal inside the fences, they are pretty hard to control! anyways, now is pretty much easier to raise certain type of mob
My automatic farm, is the basic design with pistons and water, each module holds 38 crops, with 8 modules gathering 308 wheat each time i pull the flush lol
The back side, here you can view the system used
This is my stone factory mk. Drizak lol, i use stone as is easier to mine than cobblestone and the design of the generator is pretty simple, uses just one piston, water and lava per module
The mob trap, this is not a grinder, is used to gather XP, the black box holds several floors of spawning rooms, to a 23 block deep pit, where i kill the mobs already weakened, pretty useful, still in construction btw, but already working
When i said it is still under construction i meant it
These are the advance of the walls around the fortress, the walls are taking a quite long time to be finished, as they are made of stone bricks, im in heavy need of coal ever
The initial work on the walls, the towers and walls are NOT FINISHED, will decorate them later, when i completely surround the fortress
A new canvas for a new tower.. oh, and there is the reed farm =)
More towers and walls
A complete view of the finished walls, that small hut at the right most side of the wall is the entry to my branch mine
The recent advance on the walls, i think there is 25% left to build.. need coal, quick
This part is going to be the main entrance to the fortress, 2 towers at the sides and a big gate between them (how innovative lol)
A night picture taken recently, i like it very much =)
I will try to update the map as often as i can, here you can view it online: there are options for day and night, aswell a cave mode lol http://www.minecraftworldmap.com/worlds/Gdnut
Thats all for now.. i will update it in a few days, hope you like it, im willing to receive comments and feedback, your opinion is very important to me as i want to be a good builder!
Thanks, leveling the land was a pretty harsh work, and the progress on that can be seen on the screenshots, this and the walls/towers take the most of my time ingame.. now that the land is ready to keep on building i just need to go to the mines to get some coal and keep working on these damn walls
I really like your enchanting tower. what makes it better is the fact that when I started to really admire it my music switched to a very apropriet castlevania music. lol plus you're making it laget, very nice. just make a tree orchard, and your coal problem will go away. just big enough for, say, 20 trees with 2 blocks between each other and you should get a bunch of wood each day. you'll need more stone/iron for axes than anything else.
edit: the castlevania music. just skipped back a couple songs on my player. 'Enchanted Bouquet' from SotN. like I said appropriate.
Yeah, when hunting for wood i just go to the big grass area and use my saplings and bonemeal to make it quick.. havent tought about the charcoal, great idea, thanks.. i will apart an area to use it as personal wood/farm tree, traveling to the woods its a pain in the ass lol
Really nice build, if a bit artificial. Or maybe I just like my cities too medieval. The experimental tower you did would make for a really nice gateway.
Cool stuff... Thank god you used a texture pack when taking these photos :biggrin.gif:
Anyways, good luck. I reccomend sticking to a certain theme you know, like maybe stonebricks for walls, something else for floor, and something else for roof. Or make it all of the same material, jsut try to keep it sort of consistent and it will all blend together well. (my opinion)

Can't wait to see this turn out in the end, but it's already looking great!
