Finished digging through the mountain cluster to form the base of the tower. Got 16 furnaces continuously on the go to turn all the cobblestone into stone (would've added more furnaces, but my supply of wood is running out and I want to keep the coal for torches).

Completely worn out my set of iron armour fending off mobs (those goddamn skeleton archers in particular are impossible to get close to without getting hit at least once), used up a diamond pickaxe with unbreaking I. I don't want to even think of how many stone tools I used up.
Created what I plan to create in my legit save in Creative w/ MCEdit help, so I can be sure the idea is a good one before wasting tons of materials on it. I think it's close to the height limit, so on a normal world it might need to be shortened, or a gigantic crater created to place it inside (will need to create a mob harvester if I choose to go that way, to get the necessary quantities of gunpowder)
Any criticism or suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Been doing a bit of decoration on the tower on my creative save, trying out a few different things. Only decorated one face of the top half until I settle on something good. Currently i'm looking to see which material would make a good cap, so to speak, for the top level of the tower. Gold seems a bit too silly (plus i'd have to harvest a lot of zombie pigmen. Would perhaps be suitable as a cap for each of the 4 supports), so tried out normal brick, Nether brick, iron block and lapis lazuli block. So far, it seems like normal brick looks the best. All of these decorations will considerably complicate construction, but I figure there's no point building the thing if it's just going to look godforsakenly ugly at the end of it.

Started work on the tower in the legit save. Finished the first floor; took a lot more stone than I had anticipated; at least 3 full inventory's worth. Might have to start a quarry; or perhaps extend the tower underground and use the stone obtained from that. Already looks nice nestled into the mountain, can't wait to see how it looks finished. Also started harvesting clay from everywhere I can see it. While it's not anywhere near as large a component as the stone, i'll need quite a bit of it. Also gonna need plenty of sand for the panes. Good thing i've got plenty of dirt to fill up all the holes in lakes that I dig in; since the "gaps" left in the water cause nasty downcurrents that make it more difficult to get back up.
Also, since the full height of the tower is approx 159 blocks, with the new height limit of 256 I can build it to it's full height without any problems. Indeed, there's plenty of room for extension.

Any suggestions for interior decoration are much appreciated. I probably won't be putting resource gathering on any of the above-ground floors, since the round shape would be rather inefficient; once the tower is finished i'll probably move resource generation completely underground.
I quite like the brick additions, so I think that's going straight to actual construction. Since they're only on the visible bits, I shouldn't need too much brick. Nevertheless, i've scoured all nearby lakes for clay, and have about 8 stacks.
(stopped thumbnailing them since it still loads the full image, and these are minor progress reports rather than actual significant changes)

The color bug is due to me being unable to use RBGA(iirc)
I long time ago, in Alpha, I made a little Vlog series called: 'The Minecraft Project'. Basically, it is where I built a giant wall around a village, and a bunch of buildings inside. It was going perfect until the game updated, and I had to make a new map. I never got back on track, but I have decided to try again...
This time, I'll try to come up with a more original name for my series. :P I'll post pictures later on. Very soon.
Ok well I'm working on adding new shit to my server and I was wondering if anyone could give me a good 'gamemode' for the server. It's currently running faction wars but a lot of people want a type of faction wars which is more advanced or something similar.. Any ideas?

We're in the initial stages of making a story around this city for a brain-melting awesome adventure
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/mqBS2.png[/IMG]
The problem is, I haven't decided whether to include testificates or write the story to explain that the city is abandoned. They don't really get in the way if included, it might make the game lag for some people though.
Halfway through with the 3rd floor. Built a ground entrance to the 2nd floor that needs significant sprucing up if it's going to be the main entrance to a gigantic tower. Interiors are really dull at the moment, really would like suggestions to make them better. Added a doorway to a natural cave balcony sort of thing. Might turn it into a proper balcony, but for now upwards is my focus.
About halfway through my cobblestone stockpile, so after the 5th or 6th floor i'm going to have to start digging for more. Bah.

I think you should just release the map as it is with no stories or testificates or anything, and just leave it up to the player.
I like lore. Which is one of the reasons I dislike Minecraft.

We've already developed massive set pieces and we're going to release 2 versions. A plain version with just the city and one set up for an adventure with about 2-4 players. The city needs to be taken advantage of, I think. We've also nearly finished a 5 minute movie created in the map which will also be released when everything is done.
Remember that map I posted a long time ago, or maybe a month or two ago about?
Well, its basically finished. I just need to clean out everything.

Here it is guys.
Map created for small to medium sized servers or a good starting point to expand off of.
It will take some exploring to find the abandoned buildings, and only one is left half done.
Fourth floor progressing nicely; 2 more floors and it should be clear of the mountain remains completely.

Okay I lied, it was half assed done. I just need feedback.
I've given it to 3 friends, one of whom said it was almost an adventure map.
The second said I have an interesting way of mining and the third liked the way my buildings were made.
Also, unfortunatly, if I were to capture them in screenshots, it would no longer be in the Tron Texture pack because its not being updated.
((Idiot forgot his account so he just stopped))
This a good or bad idea? If good, what should I put there? If not, what should I put on top of the tower instead?

It's a good idea, I think there should be a greenhouse with trees and grass in there.
Just started this because I was bored, what else shall I add I'm all out of ideas.

I completely forgot about trees some how and there is a barn, I just dont have any animals at this point in time.
Edit: Added a Tavern, Church and a small tree farm and dotted a few trees here and there. Going to get started with making a mine next in the mountains in the distance.
