I totally agree that it would be awesome to be able to build custom airships and be able to mount cannons and stuff on them (I think cannons would go quit well with Minecraft. ex. placeable cannon block ). However, I was thinking in terms of an airship (air) as a counterpart to the minecart (ground) and boat (water). Also being something that we could see in the near future with smaller development costs (ex. time). For now I think it would be cool just to have simple air travel as an option rather then none. (although big custom airships would be cool... Maybe someday).
Maybe you could drop from the airship.
I made a quick mock-up of what I was thinking. This design follows the art direction already followed in the game (everything is blocks).
Airship
Minecart
Boat
I agree, actually. Those concepts look great by the way.
It shows up as the little broken image icon. I tried loading the image urls in another tab, but no luck, Chrome says it can't connect to filesmelt. Could be a problem on my end.
Very simple. Instead of building a single hell portal, build two, directly adjacent to each other. Use three of the obsidian blocks for both (the left side for one, right side for the other). Activate them both. Enter hell. Then leave hell, and you will come out of your second portal, and not some random hillside.
If you don't want to change the structure, try adding some embellishment in the form of battlements (Half-steps and gravel maybe?) and a surrounding garden and river. Maybe an orchard?
as for the inside, shovel out the floor and make a gravel-smoothstone checkerboard, bordered by wood, maybe with some wool rugs. Make a jukebox perhaps?
I don't disagree. However, more varied non-aquatic terrains are a bigger priority for me. We at least need fish and some undersea plants. The increased clay abundance isn't a bad idea either.
The only problem is blending between biomes. How exactly would it all work when you cross from a rainy biome to desert, to forest to tundra? when do the different effects turn on or off? How will it look if it suddenly starts raining when you enter a rainy biome, and stops when you leave it?
So many questions.

Cool. The blood dripping eye is indeed creepy.

Does anyone know the size of a single item in the items.png?
