That doesn't look very random to me, you liar

Okay, maybe not impressive at all after that guy making a damn CPU in that link right above this, but still, I've started a new project! I've finished the main hall of my new, underground complex (15X12X30, I think). I'm planning on adding a church on the right side and a library on the left, and then look into the possibility of making some kind of living quarters-like stuff directly to the front.

I'm not quite sure why I've chosen to make churches and libraries. Probably because they're easy to make recognizable on small scale. I've made a church before, and that turned out pretty nice, so I think I'll make something similar, but bigger, with benches and a gold altar (maybe a mob encased in glass in the middle of the cross would be too much?). That last one got messed up when I experimented with inventory managers and save editors to merge my earlier projects. Since that failed, I've pretty much decided to start over again.

There's a couple of things I miss from the stuff you can make. Glass- and stone stairs in addition to the cobblestone ones would've been great. Stone because it looks better than stone, and glass because then you can have lava rivers under your staircases, bypassing the need for torches, which would've been neat. Also it'd be fun to build and look cool, so there's an distinct gameplay advantage.

Now that it got me thinking, I had to check on how water/lava flows over stairs. It's weird.

LTK:
Actually, the last time I checked (could have been fixed in the update), stairs are permeable to daylight, so if you have a lava flow directly beneath your stairs, it will illuminate the space above it. It might hold a risk of burning you, though. Similarly, a roof made of stairs lets sunlight through during the day.

Now that player and monster health is in, we started a new server in order to put the Survival back into Survival Multiplayer. Monsters, drowning, suffocating, burning and falling now kills you like it's supposed to, so building big and impressive stuff is actually a challenge. However, going into combat is suicidal because of the lag. It takes a dozen sword hits to kill an animal, and more to kill a monster, so if they come at you more than one at a time, you're screwed. In addition, arrows do no damage. Still, playing Minecraft SMP 'fair' is a step forward, even if it's a clumsy one where it nearly collapsed.

smack that isaiah:
just a note to snalin--it looks like you're doing "print screen" to take a pic of minecraft--one update a little while ago added a screenshot function to minecraft.  you press and hold F1 (removes your hand/item bar), then press F2 (takes the pic), then let go and the screen will tell you the name of your pic.  it'll be in the .screenshots folder, right next to the .texturepacks folder in your Minecraft directory.
In those pics your hand doesn't get in the way, and the bottom bars do not show up.
