I'm one of the guys whining about the huge oceans, but when our private server came back online with a new world after a day of being down, I decided to take the glass as half full and build an underwater base. It's nothing special, a 9x11 (internal) room not to far from shore. I made a 3x3 mineshaft going straight down to level 12, with breakthroughs to an abandoned mine along one side. There's also a skylight leading up to the surface over the shaft to dispel the void fog. Access to the surface is provided by a 1x1 tube with a ladder coming off of one side.
With the 1.9_6 wooden door bug, I decided to remove the door separating the airlock and main room and just place a hatch near the top to prevent mobs from falling in. I make the hatch and climb up to place it when what do I see? A creeper not 5 blocks away swimming toward me! The very thing I was trying to prevent! I fall back down the hole before it can hiss, but it's already spotted me and is descending the ladder. I have to think fast. My gut reaction (a cowardly one I must admit) is to switch to peaceful as soon as I hear the hiss, but I'm on a server, and the coward's way out isn't an option. Fighting isn't an option either. I'm unarmed, and even if I ware, server lag will ensure that it blows up before I can hit it. I don't have much time. I see the open mineshaft, and I decide to sacrifice myself for the sake of our team. I hurl myself down the 40 or so meters to my death, wit the creeper falling behind me like a lemming.
I managed to avert one disaster, but when I respawn, collect my stuff, and go back up to place the hatch, what do I see? I'll give you 3 guesses and the first 2 don't count. Another creeper!
I have a funny creeper story! it is not actually mine, it's one of my friends, but its funny nonetheless.
He just went outside his house when sunrise came to collect some wood. He came to a valley full of trees and decided to go down. He was just cutting down a tree in the valley when he heard the telltale 'SsSssSsSsssSSSss' of a creeper. He spun around, and tried to hit it away but it was too late. The creeper exploded, but for some reason he was still alive, and got blasted up into the air. He looked down and in that split second he realised that the creeper's explosion had dug into a cave. He also realised that there were 3 MORE CREEPERS IN THE CAVE AND HE WAS FALLING TOWARDS THEM!!
