So I was spending some time outside, filling in sand for my second dome and another tunnel during the day, and killing creepers to collect gunpowder at night. I decided to go in because I about ran out of sand I had with me, and had enough gunpowder to make 10 TNTs. I come down one of the water entrances, and just as I was walking to the stairs for the lower floor, I hear the feared ssssss, and just as I turn around, I see:
Now, I fixed most of it up, except for the glowstone (just have to go to the chest to get more, but I only have 6 left right now >_<).
I'm guessing he came from the tree? How much space do they need to spawn? I've been playing with this as my base for a few days now and only ever encountered cows/chickens/pigs down here before... should I light up the trees or might there be another possibility?

Everything I build is 100% legit. No mods, no tools, nothing but time and effort.
Switching to fancy graphics will not make them spawn on your trees anymore, since the leaves are then changed to opaque. However, you might get some framerate issues if your computer isn't really good.
If you're unable to do so, light up the place and you'll be fine.
Alright, I'll throw a few torches on the trees. I'm surprised it hasn't happened earlier, I've been using this base for quite some time, trees and all.

Nice base. What do you do when it turns daytime?
Depends. Like I said, right now I'm working on a tunnel which will lead to another identical dome. I build underwater a bit differently. I fill everything in with sand, then dig it all out with torches and do my building in an essentially dry environment. The I just cover the top with dirt, let the ocean back in, dig out the dirt, and voila. I didn't do it for the first building, the one pictured, but I used it for a very long underwater tunnel leading to a km base (I made towers for minecart and boat stations every km, connected to my rails and aquaducts/canals). After that I decided it was much easier than all the mucking around with diving and rising. I did plan to use the TNT I gathered to help expand my underground chamber, which I still don't have an idea for a use for.
Also, this topic is pretty much solved, but anyone know any good texture packs? Looking for default resolution, and something pretty similar to the original. I tried Painterly last night, and while I liked a few things, most I didn't, so I changed it back.

No offense, but this is kind of a stupid question. Of course he spawned in the freaking dome. Just throw down a couple torches.
I know I didn't post pictures of everything, but there is a long tunnel about which I'm unsure of the lighting, but if they can't spawn in water I know that's not it. Also there's an entrance to the surface, so I thought maybe he floated through the door and down the waterfall to wait for my arrival. And last but not least, the tunnel that goes down to the underground chamber is lit well, but I know they can spawn in the chamber (been shot by down there). So there's plenty of space in the dome, but since it hasn't happened in all the time I've been using it, I thought might have come from elsewhere.

Fades Texture pack is nice and simple.
Looked into it. It looks nice, but too... simple? artificial? ... for my liking. Looking for something more natural.

In such a big room, they can spawn anywhere. I would torch the crap outa that tree. And remember
he's everywhere!
Replaced the glowstone, and torched up all the trees, so I'm hoping not to have anymore problems.

That's where they are definitely spawning from, if I quote that image right....
Maybe... it's a long way up though:

I recommend the faithful 32 pack, the default textures, but at a higher resolution.
Looks amazing. If I have trouble running MC with fancy graphics and smooth lighting (fps doesn't go down, but laptop heats way up), would I have trouble with that pack? Installation also looks easy enough, but I'm lazy enough that something I can just drag into the texture folder would probably be more likely to be used >_<
