I made a 20x20 underground farm, and I dug out perhaps 1200 stone in the process. Cost 400 glass to protect my crops. I'm still lighting it using torches, I haven't replaced them with lava yet. Despite the size it's actually pretty basic.
Dug a 15-15 square hole from the surface to the bedrock. The resulting castle was only because I needed to get rid of the excess stone. (Oh, and no diamonds, no gold, and roughly 2 small veins of iron were the spoils)

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

I found while lava diveing and came back with enough dirt to fill up enough lava so I could jump down to the bottom, about 6 blocks down, and mine the ONLY one down there...then on the way back I found three in the wall next to the lava pit cave.

I'm currently in the process of digging a 5X5 tunnel, the first stage is slightly below ground and runs until the far end fogs out. The second stage drops to the adminium with stairs around the outside. The third stage is stepping up in 1/6 gradient back to the surface. I'm maybe 10 blocks up in the third stage at the moment.
Reason: Powered minecart subway to some kind of something. Figured I'll be done by the time powered minecarts are ready.

Lava diving?!?! :ohmy.gif:
Put it to peacefull and bring at lest two things to eat. Find lava, dive right in and look around the walls..just don't go to far unless you have land to jump to when you swim up, wait to stop burning and let your HP heal and jump right back in. The..food is..for..........just..don't bring any. XD

Splendid altar my dear chap! May I suggest modifying the kz.png (painting artwork file) located in the minecraft.jar to have the most legendary picture of Notch in it. Look up how in the Modding & Mapping-section of the forums.
I made a 56 by 56 by 7 empty cube with cobblestone walls and dirt floor, growing 100 trees in a perfect grid, and I made about 1/4 of the roof glass (but planned to make the whole roof glass)
Unfortunately, I found out a more efficient way of culling trees (it involved placing hundreds of wooden doors between the trees so leaves don't get in the way) and thought "ah, screw it" and demoed the world.
I really don't know why...
Oh yeah, my roof needed to much glass, and my main sandpit was emptied in about 10 mins.
After I find lava I make my roofs out of glass and light mi structures with recessed lava roof lighting. Also I dig in mining tunnels for cobblestone in 3x3 tunnels, completely straight so I can marvel at the long passageway of fog and cave sheep. My favorite farm looked something like this (Side veiw)
Well in second is my 20x20x10 ecodome, worked as my tree farm for one save.
But the best thing i ever did was mining a 512x512 area down to the bedrock, found a lot of diamonds and obsidian.
you lie big time, you would of had to remove (if you started from sea level) 16,777,216 blocks, that would requre at least 130,055 iron picks or 16,368 diamond picks... AND you would fill 466,033 double chests...
so YOU LIE

Or 48,914 TNT blocks, assuming a full 7x7x7 area was destroyed with each blast. (which doesn't happen with stone, that's usually closer to 3x3x3)

well i would ask for excessive bases but that feels redundant lol

Notch temple, altar... THING.

I already changed one of the pictures.
but that's a good idea either way.
And done!
took so much more tnt than i thought it would (the save had like craters all around the base of said mountain)
