Hello everyone. A week or so ago, I started a new world for my 1.6.1 adventure.
It turned into a straight up try-hard mode survival. I went all out.
This was my spawn:
My house:
Yes this is my basement; featuring an alter and a demonic portal
My dogs:
Draven really does what ever he wants and always get's everyone in trouble; so I keep him on the balcony.
My mine: (soon to get stairs)
Modest little farm:
The Bridge: (to the mainland; I spawned on on a big island in the middle of a huge lake {best spawn ever!})
Finally,The Tower:
This i what really gave me the idea for this tread. I went super try-hard mode to build this tower which is eventually going to have eight floors. All that just so I could have and enchantment and alchemy room.
So what was the point of posting this besides to show off, you may ask. Well I thought it was totally ridiculous to build a tower to cloud level for two rooms. Also doing this brought to mind all the other try-hards that may be out their. I will keep this post up to date with what ever else I build, but only with this world (unless you want to see other worlds too), Absolutely every thing is totally legit survival. From the resource gathering, to the fighting, to the building. I don't even have any mods in.
But this thread is not just for me, I want it to be for everyone as well. So...
If you ever went super try-hard mode on something in survival; anything. Now is your time to show off or embarrass yourself (which every you prefer). Post your triumph here for all to admire. The only restrictions are that everything must have been done in survival; no cheating mods or gamemodes or anything like that.
Everything must be Legit.
Oh, and one more thing: As some of you may know; I hate skeletons.
Sadly, I don't have any pictures of it, and I don't have the save anylonger (it corrupted and deleted itself or something).
For my netherportal, I created a huge crater in the ground, covered it all with netherrack, and made 3 aquaducts with lava made of netherbrick, streaming lava in it. In the middle, there was a large pool of lava (that was a LOT of work, going back and forth for all those buckets of lava. I wanted no streaming lava in my lake, and wanted all lava to be lava source blocks). In the middle of the small lake, I had a tower of netherbrick with the portal on it.
Something bad always happens when I try to be a try hard, lol.
Anywho, nice world you got there, OP! Better hurry up and build the tower before you lose those levels.

I was so proud! And then my world corrupted.
Man, that sucks; you know, I've never understood that, how does a save get corrupted?
It is finished! (with the addition of many deaths by falling from the tower as I was building that top piece; so-o-o yeah... I lost those levels) The good news is that I figured out how to do the spoiler thing.
Sorry guys; Had to go creative if I wanted to show off the whole thing with out having to build some dirt pillar to those positions
Now that that is finished; I need to find some sugar cane.
What a cool thread, here is my contribution. Everything is vanilla minecraft. The tower is something like 8,000 blocks. Sort of my first try-hard effort, my next one will be more refined.
Some of my subordinates. They used to be zombies. How do they repay me? By offering to give me iron pants for 10 emeralds. I was forced to cull these unreasonable individuals and their bodyguards until I bred their greediness out of existance. Muahahahaha!!
My chickens. This is not a representation of the climax of their population. You could not see the ground. I had to kill an entire double chest load of them because they were escaping the home I so generously provided for them. Not to mention the clicking-buzz they were making was driving me insane.
Crops of potatoes, carrots, wheat, pumpkin, and watermelon. Yum. Haven't needed to keep it neat and trim because of the massive amount of food and supplies I have built up.
Buncha sugar cane

Dude, just want to say, Awesome job! Was that your original house when you first started the world, or did it come later on? Oh, and what is your nether spawn like with the portal so high up?
Anyway, a quick update for everyone: I went into the nether and found what I think is the best fortress ever! Most of it is exposed and not over lava, and the place is huge! I think it's probably at least 500 blocks wide through the center. The place is full of chest too. I now have nine saddles, three sets of iron house armor, and four sets of gold. Since there is really no point to putting a saddle on a pig these days, I am travelling out to the mainland to find some more horses (who seem to only spawn on the very edge of the plains, over a kilometer from my house, when they have one of the biggest plains biomes I've ever seen, they only spawn on the farthest point).
At any rate, I now have three horses, and I just started making a stable for them.
Now the stable is embarrassing, but when I'm finished I will post it on here anyway. It's bad because, I accidentally made it a perfect square; 15x15. I don't even know how I did that, I just made pillars at the corners. I absolutely hate building square or boxy things! No creation of mine shall have mediocrity, I am doing all that I can to get rid of it!
Anyway, enough of me, I want to see you guys keep posting; this is a thread to show off what you can do, so take advantage of that.
No it wasn't my original house. The original one was a dirt hut turned into a mine. Would the nether gate be different? Come to think of it I do remember it being insanely high. I should try digging upwards.
It turned into a straight up try-hard mode survival. I went all out.

Nah, aside from that your world looks pretty nice! Keep us updated!

I'm also known as TANNAR in some places.

Yeah, my bad. But that was the only mod I have used, and that was just so I wouldn't get lost in the nether.
