Greetings everyone, I am Antes. I've been playing Minecraft Alpha for about a month or so now, and I believe I get the jest of it. As of recent I finally got a world that I didn't quit on after building a house. (The reasoning I don't quite understand, but for some reason I like the world :3)
However, unfortunately, and I'm sure this comes along in every minecrafter's ... minecraftian life span, I've gotten builder's block. I went out and built myself a nice little wooden home, which there will be pictures of below, and then after that I got a bit crazy and flattened out this nice area of land and then began building a castle there. I built a wall, a bridge from the wooden cottage to the castle, and 3 guard towers as well as a gate. From here though, as I said, I got builder's block, and I haven't the slightest clue as to what to build next. All I'm asking for is a few general ideas you masterminds here could offer me to get me back on track. Here are some pictures for those that want them.
Just a little subterranean cave thingy I formed.
A few views of the castle from the outside;
The empty space I have.
The Wooden Cottage I spoke of;
The 3 Guard Towers
(Exterior Design, Note: All the Towers are exactly the same)
(The Interior Design, Note: Again, all the same)
(Upstairs)
So yeah, any ideas? I can do semi-large projects because I have a hierarchy of space to build things, both in and outside of the castle. I just can't seem to think of any myself. I'd like ideas that'd be useful for me during my colonization of the world, and things that are aesthetically pleasing. Some sort of blueprints of your suggestions would be great too, as I'm a visual person myself :3
1. Build small homes
2. Share map in Maps section
3. Get free admin on a server that uses your map
4. Make noobs pay for living in your grand kingdom.
5. ???
6. Profit!
6.5. Overthrowing of the king
7. PRIDE!
Thanks, that looks like it'd be helpful Zanith, and lmao @ Shawnyall, I have no clue how to set up servers though, but I suppose I'll find out later xD
I'll be sure to check out you channel too jalcober.
HERE IS WAT U CAN DUE.
1. Explore for hours or even years until you hit the end of the generatable map.
2. Kill self (Best option)
3. Kill self
4. Kill self.
5. Make a bigger castle.
6. kill self
I actually realized how small the castle was so I just kind of made it into a nature walk, i.e. planted trees, cacti, bamboo, etc.
However, with that open space, I kind of like PriceChild's idea, I huge wooden Horse/trojan sort of thing would be interesting ... schematics though ... hmmm... I'll post pics when I'm done.

Many of my thanks to all of you who contribute,

Oh, and another thought not in the thread. With all that sand, you could make a cactus maze. Silly, but it might be interesting.
And certainly, if you dig far enough, there's plenty you could do underground.

Also, nice castle.
@bisousbisous: Done, plenty times, trust me ;P
