so ive been building for a while, and ive used almost everything in the generic pallete in almost every way it could possibly be used. so i said to mysef. what next... well a prvious post gave me one crazy idea,. to pull redstone blocks straight out of the earth in their un mined for. this proved to bea tedious but rewarding task and ill be making a road through a cave and possible a few other structures using the redstone.
so what next, well, i kept thinking outside of the box and now ive created a mechanism that allows me to build with ice. basically its similar to one of the complexx cobblestone generators. put water in a 2x2 box, you only need 2 buckets. then when it freezes one set of pistons pushes the blocks of ice up then the next set pushes it out of the way while another set pushes that row across creating a floating 10x12 ice block i can then move wherever i want.
im planning on building an ice rink with this and maybe use some for my sky scrappers windows.
im wondering, what crazy experiments everyone else is doing trying to think outside of the box.
I had wondered if it were possible to push blocks like redstone or diamond to the surface intact. I was going to try it out and am glad to know you actually can.

I am a Minecraft tourist. I am currently unavailable under the XBoxLIVE ID listed here but can be found under ZombieL0C0. If you see me online playing Minecraft, send a message and I will gladly take a stroll through your world.
i did one similar to your first, only i pushed a grass block down to bedrock to create a grassy landscape for my slimes to spawn on
not a bad idea. i used the grass path method to fill a room with grass inside my diamond structure took forever and was as boring as.... well watching grass grow.

yup. the only blocks you cant move are obsidian. and water or lava source blocks. ice, redstone, diamond, can be moved without damaging the blocks themselves.

You guys are insane. I think I'll just wait for creative mode.
Also bedrock.. but that should be obvious.
ah yes. bedrock. the hard place and the imovable object. its pretty easy to move the blocks actually. i use a simple piston locomotive once ive stacked them up under my restone storage area. the rest is automated.
