The airship is just amazing, love how the engine looks, like a on a WWI bomber :biggrin.gif:

Not sure I dig the time machine idea though, I'd still like to have some classy beds in my victorian styled houses.
Although It makes sense when you consider the fact that beds will be spawn points though, like you've someone reverted back to when you were alive but after you died (confusing, haha)..

Thanks, mate!

I suppose at some stage I'll make a nice little bed alternative, but as awesome as the bed is, it just seems a little too small to be a 'grand' Victorian bed. I'll still be making those out of blocks. This time machine thing was an excellent idea from someone above (who I apologise to for not having the time to properly credit! I'll get round to trawling back through) that nicely fits into so many ideas.

Being more machine, lab equipment-like (ala Frankenstein), I just think it has more applications than just a bed. Future steampunk bunks for airships, cryogenic sleep beds for spaceships, timetravel, lab experimentation, yes even torture tables for evil megalomaniacs (I'm currently constructing a huge chamber in which on a plinth dead centre will be placed my Time Machine Bed. Radiating out from it will be a weblike arrangement of the new redstone wiring terminating in all sorts of machinary...using paintings, blocks and diodes...all to give the effect of some epic experiment about to take place...my 'eternity machine' da da daaaa!)

So my usual thing of taking something ordinary and trying to make it work in as many scenarios as possible!

I don't think the atmosphere really blends with Minecrft itself, but the amount of work you put into this is phenomenal! I commend ya :smile.gif:

That's a very kind compliment and gratefully received, Thank you! :smile.gif:

I hope at some stage though, you can come round to the way of thinking that, with the phenoma that is Minecraft, it isn't just about one particular appropriate style. What we have in Minecraft is an engine for the imagination, an architects dream, a megalomaniacs heaven, not just one cutsey or medieval style of adventure play as it seems to have been viewed by the media, but the possibility to explore and create all sorts of worlds of the imagination and all sorts of styles of play...for did not Notch say in his infinite wisdom:

"I believe that I can combine enough fun, accessibility and building blocks for this game to be a huge melting pot of emergent gameplay." - Notch

Well I'm in that melting pot trying to emerge...heeeeelp!!

Unfortunately i haven't been able to figure out a firing mechanism that doesn't destroy the cannon, but as soon as i do you'll be the first to know. Aside from that, copy as much as you want and no, i don't have any blueprints, but the design is fairly basic. the base of the tower without the iron struts is 6x6x5, beyond that, its just a couple circles on top of bigger circles with some iron to make it look sturdy. Decorate and spice to taste.



Edit: better view of the gun, the torches for sights was my girlfriend's idea

Humm doesn't look like this could be adapted...

I used the Texture Program thing.
But it seems like when I enter my world beds still look like purple texture less blocks...

I don't know why it would do that...

I'm not sure why it's doing that for you either. No one else has reported this, mate!

Have you downloaded my latest pack version 1.9.1, installed it in Minecraft's Texture Pack Folder in place of my old texture pack and then used zau's MC Patcher mod on it? Full instructions and latest pack download in the OP on page 1 of this thread. I've done that a few times today and when editing the new texture content, and it's worked fine for displaying the new bed, etc. :smile.gif:

Ha ha! Thanks, mate. :smile.gif:

That's the spitting image of me on the right! :biggrin.gif:

SCROLL-A-PICTURE FOR BUKKIT! (Even better than punch-a-picture).

http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/fun-pa ... -432.5788/

Still no implementation for more paintings though.

Oooo! I shall be using that! Is the bukkit server system up to date with Beta 1.3? Not that I've got time for play at the moment! :smile.gif:

Heya Glimm...I "borrowed" your Wildgrass whilst I do mine. I did a lily pad for some reason today, but needed the wildgrass to go with it

:biggrin.gif:

No problems, mate! You seem a decent enough chap!

It's not the best WildGrass in the world I'm afraid and I will be editing it myself again some day.

Instant download, after I saw this, but getting used to 32x32 textures is hard xD

Welcome, Tollaner! :smile.gif:

When you say hard...are you moving up from 16x16 or down from a higher resolution texture? :smile.gif:

ok, so i didnt get as much work done as i had hoped, and im far too excited about this to keep it to my self, so heres a teaser of what im building




this guy is just a baby compared to the real one, more so built to work out a few design ideas
the real one is a few valleys over, with its hip joint about where the top of this one stands

edit: dang spelling mistakes.

If that's a baby, I fear seeing the full scale momma.

Nice build, man! Best I can do is build forts. for you!

Finished my airship and steamboat dock, but alas i have no airship or steamboat

Love the time machine and what you've done with the repeater.

Thanks, mate. I'm a missing the airship too. Kind of eerie the way they all just disappear with the update. Like someone's been around my base and nicked all the good stuff, very slightly comparable with what it must be like to be broken into at home. A sort of Wha...!...moment!
