Pictures from the April Minecraft session:
As we discovered in March, the train tracks under the water had gotten flooded. We started rebuilding that tunnel then: we recreated the floors, walls, and ceiling, but the water stayed inside. So I decided to fill the entire tunnel with glass and then dig it out from the dry sides, hopefully that would force out the water.
Lots of water around.
There’s some sort of weird glass block with water inside in the middle here.
After a few attempts, I managed to destroy blocks in a way that didn’t leave water flooding back in.
After restoring that (and taking the train around in that loop, just to verify that it still worked; it had gotten slightly broken and/or underpowered in a couple of locations, so I actually did have to restore a couple of places), I went back towards the mountain area, to check on what Dan was up to.
You can see a few of Dan’s structures here. (Hmm, I should clean up the bottom of those big stairs.)
A view looking down from the other side of the formerly desert area.
Looking down the pit that Dan had made last time.
Dan isn’t at the bottom.
A pedestal he’s built nearby.
This sculpture is new too, I think?
Here’s a closer view of that sculpture.
It took me a little while to find Dan, he’d built a bunch of stuff. But eventually I noticed an entrance hidden in the grass:
Easy to miss this one unless you’re right there.
There’s actually a big drop down from the entrance.
Here’s the view up towards the entrance from the bottom.
Here’s the room at the bottom of the entrance, with a hall coming off of it. (Lots of white!)
I’ve finally found Dan!
A closeup of one of the nooks in the hallway.
Here’s Dan in the midle of digging out another room around the bend of the hallway.
Done with the stairs down to that room.
Pat had to leave before I could take pictures of him, but I did get some shots of the tomb that Miranda is continuing to excavate:
Lots of torches on the floor of this one.
Almost positive I’ve taken a picture of this one before.
Bookshelves visible at the other end of this passageway.
That is a lot of bookshelves!
To be completely honest, I’m not sure what the role is of the rowboat and armor here.
A closeup view of the armor.
The tower of books is just as imposing from the back!
