I would like to see said testing because pretty sure that isn't true. TNT blast damage is negated by water period. Obsidian is also TNT proof, not just bedrock.
I blew through the first layer, then put a few blocks of TNT right by the second wall, I was determined to see if it was completely TNT proof, but it broke through.
Why would I put a disclaimer there if it was completely TNT proof?
Ummm... I think lots of people know that water is TnT resistant. I learned it in my noob days...
I just learned it a few months ago... Like I said it isn't something amazingly minecraft changing, just something I made to protect my own building, but when it saved a building from TNT raining from the sky I had to share it.
Hello to anyone reading this, I was experimenting with wall designs a few months ago and found something that protects walls from TNT... water... I will guide you step by step to create TNT resistant walls.
To save time the main idea of this wall is simply a wall filled with water, but if you want you can read the following steps.
(Disclaimer: This wall design has protected my bunker from a rain of TNT, leaving the interior untouched, though testing has made clear that enough TNT can break through almost anything, if you really want TNT proof walls use bedrock. This design has not yet been tested against creepers, through has saved my bunker. I wouldn't suggest putting your faith into it to protect months worth of work, through this is a cheap and quick sollution to protect interiors from explosive damage.)
Step 1: Dig a hole about 4 blocks down and make it the length of your wall.
Step 2: Fill in the trench with your material and make it the height of your desired wall... You should end up with a single block wall that is 4 blocks deep.
Step 3: Dig another trench behind this wall, make it the same depth as your other trench.
Step 4: Build a wall around this new trench and your should end up with a wall that has an empty center.
Step 5: Fill this empty space with water, cover it and it should end up looking like this...
I lit two blocks of TNT next to this wall and as you can see the interior wall is perfectly fine, it would only take a few minutes of repair to fix the outer wall.
This wall may seem like a static defense, but with a little creativity you could add windows and make it fit on the walls of some more abstract building... if you wanted you could even be a bit devious and fill it with lava instead of water... give your enemies a nasty suprise.
So yeah... it is a wall filled with water, nothing special, but has protected my bunker from my own supidity (House made out of TNT).

Hello anyone reading this, I have recently started a new minecraft survival world and I have started on my first building... my house... my only issue is that I always start with a good idea for a building and then turn it into complete cobblestone crap. I have the basement and the first floor frame done, but I am looking for some suggestions on how to mix blocks and make the walls look nice.
These are screenshots from all angles of my future house, I apologize for the bad angles and the snow, I didn't realize how annoying snow is in screenshots until after I uploaded them.
Post some screenshots so we can get a look of what you need
To the right is a simple plank shelter, and to the left is a quick storehouse I built.
To the left is a cobblestone house, not much different from the later houses in my old village and to the right is a the watchtower, which is a major advancement over my old one.
Coming into bay
Coming into port, with a view of every current building...
Hello,
I got minecraft about a year ago, but I am still a noob... I built a village in 1.7 I called "Gamerman bay", but it consisted of square cobblestone houses with wooden roofs... With 1.2 I am trying to remake the village, but with better looking buildings.
I have tried to make good looking houses on creative mode, but they all end up looking like complete crap.
I am horrible with art and color blending, so please help me out.
A dark age(ish) fishing village I made in 1.7, after the 1.8 update I scraped it, but with 1.2 I am currently building it again with 100% better architecture...
I've been playing minecraft for a bit now, but I still find myself building square houses out of cobblestone and wood. I have tried to use patterns of different blocks, but I always over do it... Can someone give me some advice to building a good looking and non-square house?
They are called "endermen". They are leaked to be like the NPCs they new patch is going to have so I think they are like them and live in mountain-desert area, in my opinion be an active people but not to be messed with and also like to steal bricks for their buildings. That seems to be the just of everything that has been leaked or rumored.
It looks like these things will tear down buildings or cut into early game caves and holes. If that is so then I think it would be a smart idea to build a watchtower to look out for these things and/or a wall to slow them down.

Alright I will try it, should I put the stone bricks around my windows, use them for the frame, or just make it completely out of stone bricks?

I built a cathedral out of diamond and gold which was honoring me; the great and wrathful god of gamerman land.
