VGHVI Minecraft: July 27, 2017
In the July Minecraft session, I wanted to continue working on the building from June. I had one floor of an L-shaped building, unfurnished except for a placeholder carpet; so the current questions were how I wanted to furnish it, and how to add a second story.
In one half of the room, I put a dining table
I don’t really see a good place for some stairs, though
The view up top
I didn’t see any place where stairs would really fit. So I decided to go with a sort of military theme, with a sort of watchpost on top instead of a full second floor, and with an idea that maybe a ladder would make more sense in that situation? (Because, of course, it’s really easy to carry armor and weapons up a ladder?)
Notches around the roof edge; conveniently, all the sides were of an odd length
Trying to figure out if I want the corner notches to match the corner pillars or the other notches; dark was clearly better
Placing an arch, at sunset
I extended that into an entire covered area; it looks a little odd with only pillars at the corners, though
The balance is better with a pillar in the middle
Here’s what it looks like from the roof
Adding a second one for the other half of the roof
Here’s what it looks like from farther away
So now the building is pretty much in place; I needed to add more military decorations up top, and fill out the other half of the downstairs.
Here’s some armor
Anvils and a chest for supplies / repairs
A first stab at the other half upstairs
Putting in a ladder
The top of the ladder
Making a research area downstairs
Here’s the view towards the table
A compressed red carpet under the chest
Adding in a record player
A stack of records next to it
A broader view of downstairs
The magic table fit better downstairs than upstairs, so let’s put a furnace upstairs instead
There’s some snow nearby on the mountains, so let’s add some on the building, too
Some more snow

That was a good stopping point for the building; the questions for next time are what to do with the garden on the back, and what about the chasm in the middle.
Here’s the garden and the house
There’s water behind the garden
Here’s the view of the house over the chasm

Next I went to visit Dan; he’d built a modern art museum
The museum
Blue and green works
Green and white

Blue and purple

Trees nearby
A view from a little farther away
There’s a tower further away; you can barely see the museum
Pat was adding another building to his floating city, a sort of sandstone and clay building with a large courtyard.

The current state of the entire city
And Miranda was taking another swing at the Howl’s Moving Castle-inspired building. (It’s on a pretty small island, so it’s a little abstract.)
A mushroom island nearby
