I started off the April Minecraft session by working a bit on the station near the city.

Tracks over the water

The initial state of the station; it’s a bit of a mess

Now the body is cleaned out

The door is asymmetric

That’s better

Here’s a top view; how do I want this to fit into the surrounding areas?

Adding some stairs leading to the portal

Here’s the top part of that path

The view towards the water

Adding in a gap in the wall
![](http://scenes.malvasiabianca.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/not-clear-what-to-do-at-back-435x245.png)
I didn’t have any great ideas about what to do with the back, so I left that part alone
After that, I flew back towards the mountain to figure out what to do there.

The wall above the station
After looking around, extending vertically from the back of the station seemed like the next step; there was already the beginnings of a space on the inside, and there’s a natural hollow if I head far enough.

Looking up from the back of the inside of the station

Cleaning up the back a bit

Looking down from where a second floor might be

Starting to put a floor in place

The view from the second floor
![](http://scenes.malvasiabianca.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/try-moving-floor-lower-435x245.png)
Maybe the floor should be one block lower?

Another view of the lower version

The lower version, from upstairs

Putting in some stairs on the back wall
At this point, I ran out of time, so I went to take pictures of Dan’s latest building.

A tower with lava floors
