Pictures from the first Minecraft session of the new year. First, the inevitable wandering around:
I’m sure I’ve taken very similar pictures to this before.
Those stairs affect my mountain more than I expected.
Another view of how the stairs look in context.
The area to the right of the windows looks promising.
My initial reaction was that those stairs that Dan built are a little overwhelming. He wasn’t there this month, unfortunately, but maybe next month I’ll ask him if he would mind if I made them significantly narrower?
I’d been thinking of building more around the shop area, maybe extending it to the path through the base of the mountain, but when I was flying around, there’s this area that sticks out a bit to the right of the windows, and I was thinking maybe I could turn that into a sort of corner tower. So I decided to add another set of rooms there.
Digging my way into the corner.
Here’s the first stab of the shape of the room, without regularizing the wall blocks at all.
The outside view, with some of the blocks replaced / smoothed out.
Now we’ve got some windows, lights, and a fence.
It’s a little cramped on the inside now, though.
Also, this side looks a little blank.
A few more touches, now I like it better.
Here’s what it looks like now on the inside, with the side expanded and a second window added.
Going up a level.
The inside view of the second floor.
Here’s what it looks like from the side: the second floor is currently set back a block, and also has a shorter balcony.
The side window on the second floor.
Not up for decorating the inside yet, but let’s at least put in a splash of color.
Purple carpet on the second floor.
A daytime view of the front.
Dan couldn’t make it, and neither could Miranda, but Pat was there; in addition, his wife (I’m blanking on her name, maybe Emily?) also showed up. Here’s the building he was building; and she added some finishing touches to the roof of one of the existing ones.
The inside of Pat’s latest building.
Another angle on the inside.
Here’s the outside view of the front door.
And here’s the back view from the outside.
A slightly wider view; on the right, you can see the roof being worked on.
Finishing off the roof.
Looking across the roof to more of the city.
The finished roof, and the back garden.
