VGHVI Minecraft: September 24, 2015

Oct 18 2015

For the September Minecraft session, I decided to start work on a room inside the cave I’d been obsessed with for the last several months: there was an area not too far in off of the water that looked like a reasonable beginning of a room so I decided to pretty it up.

I started by putting in a floor; then an alcove in the back seemed like a natural storage area, and finally I added some furniture. It’s still pretty basic, especially the front of the room, but it’s a start.

Then I decided to build some stairs up the waterfall, to connect the room to the entrance:

While I was in the middle of this, Pat told me he’d finished the glass structure that he’d been building in the ocean last month, so I flew over to see that:

Then I flew back to continue my work; I ran into a neat looking round passage on the way.

Finally, I finished the stairs, and looked around to see what to do next.
