I just found this vein - gold, diamond, and coal all touching each other. I've only been playing for a few weeks, but I've never found anything quite like this. I once had an area where I could see obsidian, gold, redstone, coal, iron, and lapis at the same time, but it was a cavern, and the different veins were more spread out...
Eh, at this point i don't find it too rare (for me). I have seen a gold/diamond configuration probably 2-3 times.
If you want to share screenshots and videos, I would suggest the Show Your Creation forums. If the topic is likely to be more video related, then put it in Videos. If it is more screenshot based, then put it in Screenshots :smile.gif:
With the 1.2 release coming and my impending SMP reset I'm refining my building plans on my SSP map more concerned with function and circuit layouts than appearance. I got to thinking about initial startup and material gathering and future appearances.
When you guys start out do you refuse to build anything unless you have the material you want for appearances sake?
Do you build some initial buildings and demolish them later?
Do you expand keeping your initial structures?
Do you abandon once you've harvested all the material you need to really start?
I have a storage building, wheat tower, and sugar cane terrace all up and running and all completely cobblestone with some glass pane windows so far :smile.gif:
1) I always do an initial build in cobblestone.
2) Yes, and re-make the materials.
3) I usually keep the original idea and shape of the building.
4) It would be 'better' to wait till you have what you need but some people get tired of all the 'work' part and just ditch the effort. Its like real life, you should start now and you can always 'upgrade' later.
Well this cave system is definitely on the level of absurdly massive.. I've found an abundance of obsidian but no diamond yet :sad.gif:
Ok heres the thing....
1) Bring a compass. Dig out and follow it to your base. (was suggested already).
2) Bring items to make a map for when you reach surface. (or mark coords).
3) More risky but you can bring items to make portal (WARNING: for getting home not back). You teleport to the nether. If your even semi close to your home it will connect to your main nether portal. Just walk out and back into your nether portal and your back home (at the outworld portal). This is the quickest way home without dying.
So i want to showcase some pictures, videos AS WELL AS take advice from people about my work, what to build next etc etc. This is Survival mode, not creative.
Pics, and videos section don't really fit too well and 'survival' is not really a showcase of work.
Well some kid on mah Server claimed to have found one, and I do think they are still out there, but are now a world generation ERROR rather than an imperfection in the code. Meaning if you find one, it's likely that its not the only super weird thing in that world.
As for breaking bedrock in Survival, an old rumor claims that the bedrock block takes 12 hours nonstop to break. Have fun with that.
Gotcha. I would set a macro to mine this long but not on a rumor.
Don't put coal in the powered cart until you're in the empty cart seems to be the most obvious answer.
Unless I've overlooked something, when you add coal the minecart goes in the opposite direction. Now that I think about it a loop of sorts at the beginning of track would work.
Actually, it is possible to go to the void in survival without cheating. Simply go to the end. There's more void than you'll ever want there. However, if all you want is a small patch of void, then I can't help you.
Yea I was looking for a small access. Just a little gem to say I had one. Darn.
Is there any possibility at all to break bedrock? (dam there has to be a way! )

Is it possible to shoot yourself? If you calculate correct you can probable even land on a rial block.

What i mean is i don't play creative mode (infinite blocks). Yes i make creations but only in survival mode.
I almost want to make a blog or something for this.

Isn't survival and creative 2 different thing? Why would someone post creative things in survival form.
Also i'd rather not split them up if that is in any way possible.

That would be great! I don't want to use programs/mods/hacks but i didn't say i wouldn't let someone do it for me :biggrin.gif:
When i get home from the ol' 9-5 i will post them. I hit you up with some ++++

Ok, i'll have to cross my fingers for dumb luck then. I really want access to the void but not by using a mapping program. If i find one ill post it.
5 holes in the entire map?!?! I guess ill learn to live without it.
