So what has been your worst OCD moment in minecraft to date?

I hadn't had any bad moments till just today... I built a 2 story building out of cobblestone, it was meant to be an addition that links up via a glass skybridge to two other buildings and it lined up perfectly with one, however before I started adding glass I figured I'd measure again to make sure it lined up with the 2nd building along the X axis.

....well it didn't I was 1 block off -98 instead of -97

So I spent the last hour tearing down the walls on each floor and moving the whole thing over 1 block just so it would line up correctly :dry.gif:

i wonce carved a mountain to be 134 blocks by 134 blocks just cause i didnt like the way it looked :\

I was making a stadium with my friend on his server and he put fountains by the entrance but after he logged off i realized it wasnt even so i moved the giant stadium over one block and then i relized that I could of just moved the fountain...

I once quit playing because I realized putting so much effort into the game was ultimately folly since it would probably never be fixed to an appreciable level where I could truly enjoy it again

I once logged in and out of Minecraft 125 times in a row, for fear of getting a computer virus if I landed on a number that is of negative association to me.

I also reload maps over and over, as sometimes if a world is odd (or starts on snow), I fear that it could not have come about by natural means and is associated with 'incorrectness' and somehow is tainted. This follows with my counting obsession, so I can end up reloading new seeds up to and beyond 80 times.

Avoiding the shadows of trees, or creepy looking trees is a big one, which usually makes me back-track a specific path in order to get back to my base. Often I envisage that there is tape/string following behind me, and that I must retrace any path I have taken in order to undo the tape from being wrapped around a tree or object. If I don't I fear I will worry about how my current map is now imperfect because of this, and that I won’t be able to play it again. This can lead me to walking back and forth as I am trying to measure and feel 'correct' about the current situation.

When I quit my game I have to place my character in a positive, illuminated location so that I can feel at peace when quitting.

These are a few of them that came to mind; usually my game is defined by Obsessive Compulsive actions, so these are the most prominent ones for me.

*Smooth stone*Smooth Stone*Smooth Stone*CobbleStone* GOD DAMMIT!! I wanted it all to be cobblestone, not smooth stone! *tears down everything* *replaces with cobblestone*
Much better. *looks closer* I'm one block off of a perfect square. *takes whole wall of and replaces it*

I had built my entire base of operations in an odd number. It was 151 x 151 Instead of 150 x 150.
I cried myself to sleep.

I've died 30+ times correcting torches in my already well lit mineshaft.

I spent five hours making a piston contraption, and then I saw the lever was one block too low...but I couldn't just replace some of the redstone to fix it without spending another five hours...

I was making an arena for a friend's server and I noticed the seats were off... I turned on instantmine and destroyed the whole thing to redo it.
