I love building, but love making things legit even more. I made a 150x150 floating island with a 12 high, 3 thick log wall. However, I never finished the bottom of it I also made other floating islands, a massive stone colosseum that took 50 stacks of stone, a giant museum, and some others.

Sorry if this sounds ignorant but how do you build a floating island legit?
Air blocks and the like can't be obtained legitimately so you can't really do it that way (just like fire blocks which seem a weird choice of item to make the chainmail recipe from while thats on my mind)

People usually ask It starts with building a "noob tower" up, then a floating platform. Then you round it off and whatever, then just go back down on the noob tower and round the bottom out. When you're done, remove the tower. The easiest way to get up is usually a waterfall.
I hope I got the tags right...
unsure if this would count as legit but yeah
I had been playing with a bunch of mods that add content (the most awesome of which being millenaire) so the world was less empty
I cam across an indian (I think its indian)village and destroyed the roof of their shop then filled it in with planks to make a floor for a house that would be hard for monsters to reach
I then wnet out n mined some diamonds to get some obsidian for a nether portal which Is on the houses roof (inactive in the picture)
but when I got back my floor had been replaced with sandstone cause they upgraded
So I went and rebuilt the entire shop with planks, gave it proper windows(instead of empty frames), replaced most of the torches in their exact spots( a few might be a square or two off),built a ladder to my house then one up to its roof and built a nether portal on the roof.
all the sandstone and cobblestone from the pillars got me to friend of the village rank too
Cool! I had millienaire, it's so hard to install! XD

Awesome! I just made a floating city, but it wasn't legit.

That's how I made my city!
P.S. It's called CloudCity

I should have thought of that...I even had the floating islands mod installed for a bit(removed it cause I ended up riding boats into massive holes in the ocean and dieing cause of it)

Millenaire is actually relatively easy, it explains where to put each bit,its more it has a fair few incompatible mods and stuff like that (maybe I'm just a nerd)

I can't really respond to this as we don't share views on what legit means.
I just responded with my views on legit since my mods don't make me overpowered (like mo creatures actually makes some stronger enemies to encounter)and I'm not spawning items so I consider it legit whereas some consider legit to be vanilla mc with no creative ( I found vanilla to be a bit lacking on some stuff like other humans (so I run 20-40 mods depending on what I feel like having)

Millienaire might be easy for some people to install but since I never install mods, that was a tough one to get, sadly there was an update the next couple of days I got it and I never got it again.
This picture shows the central main staircase which forms the center of the structure. I have finished 3 of the 4 primary trunk supports. I am currently clearing out the jungle area where the 4th primary trunk support will go in the back. Between those 4 will be 8 smaller auxiliary support trunks that will also help form the main central platform where I will build all of the structures (at Y level 90). Outside of all of these will be the myriad of outer 'roots' that will end up rising out to form the outer skin of the tree itself. I haven't yet decided how many main or auxiliary branches I will put on it but the 'tree trunk' itself will be around 1M blocks by itself.
I couldn't really have built anything this large until the game made the vertical axis taller. The tree that was here before had a base that was 64 (roughly 8x8 in a circle pattern) blocks per level and was almost 80 blocks tall. I tore that down after they boosted the Y axis limit so I could start working on my larger treehouse project. I will add additional pictures once I get farther along.
The coolest thing that I made 100% legit on the multiplayer server that I played on (until my step-son got bogged down with college ... he hosts the server) was a 3 dimensional labrynth that measured 125 blocks long, 80 blocks wide, and 25 blocks high that I built starting on level 10 with the floor. It had 4 floors that you had to navigate through in order to find the exit. I specifically made the laybrnth to resist the standard puzzle solving techniques such as follow 1 wall until you reach the exit. Since you have to transverse multiple floors, and some staircases go from floors 1 through 4 some only go between 2 floors and others go between 3. Some stairs end up in a dead end.
That was just the prototype as I wanted to get all of the staircases oriented the correct direction before I made the one I actually wanted to build. The final one I am going to make out of obsidian and light it with netherrack and lava floes. In order to make the obsidian ... I will need to make a crapload of trips to this massive lava I have in my game and form it like pouring concrete. But in order to do that I need the prototype so I can get a negative mold to make out of cobblestone in order for my to pour the walls. The labrynth takes up approximately 250k blocks of space.
After I am done with my treehouse I will begin work on my labrynth and probably make a video of it and link it here as an update. I will also post pictures of it in progress similar to what I am doing with my treehouse.
*Note* I am a puzzle fanatic. The harder the better Imho. I absolutely love really difficult soduku puzzles. In order to create the prototype, it took me about 3 months of pencil and paper drawing to make the design for the labrynth at the diffifulty that I wanted. Neither my son, my step-son, or their 3 friends that played on our multiplayer server ever admitted to getting through it even though they made multiple attempts. Most starved and died because they couldnt find their way out once they went in. I tried to get through it without my notes and it took me just over 4 days of working on it (and I designed the thing). When they do this singleplayer / multiplayer thing I will be interested in seeing if anyone else can make it through. After the first person died in my prototype labrnyth I added a chest to the entrance filled with bread.

Sorry what is the coolest thing you did: without mod or creative. (Read the post)
Cool!
