Have you thought of adding achievements to the original post? Like, 1st diamond or however many trees, to serve no real purpose but a simple way of showing what you have accomplished?
I gave in to temptation, and after 5 days, I sailed off to the distant island and set up a fortress. There's a triple dungeon just inside of it though.
I established an above ground base. I made a stream for aesthetics, and I have a tree farm to the left of that base and a grassy area on the other side of the stream. I also died once in my original base because I fell down 6 blocks with 3 hearts. Oh well. I got my idea from viewtopic.php?f=35&t=64991&start=180#p1030002.
The first base/mining shaft (where the cobblestone is). It's like a 2x6 staircase down to bedrock and I started a branch mine then came back up with 6 diamonds so I just said eff it I'm set.
All my materials.
My next mining base. I'm going to do a 2 wide staircase down into the ocean.
I highly reccomend this though, it was very fun :]
YEAHHHHHHHH

EDIT: its night and i got my first zombie :biggrin.gif: i made him my pet lol :biggrin.gif:
IF you want coal...theirs some dirt on the island. go 2 blocks down under that dirt and you will find coal :biggrin.gif:Day 2: I continued working on my mineshaft, found some coal and some iron, and made a small shelter under the grassy area.
Day 2 (nighttime): Caught off guard by a few spiders, I made a tower out of sand to hide on top of. As you can see, I was not hidden well enough.
Day 3: I began destroying my tower and began inching closer and closer to the swarm of creepers.
Guess what happened next.
You should've used your sand to suffocate them.
I started doing that, but at one point I accidentally placed the sand directly below me and fell down into the creeper orgy.
If there is any grass left put your clean dirt next to it and it will seed onto it.
o.O
For the most part all the cave systems are under the water so no its not against the rules...however you just can't go to the surrounding islands.
Crap.
