Our Minecraft Creations
-
As you may know, some of us play Minecraft together on a server that Tsao hosts (if you want to join us just ask!). I figure it's time that we show off some of the stuff we've put together. I'm only going to show the stuff I've made so that everyone else can reveal their own work.
My first abandoned project was a recreation of the very first planned collaborative drawing at The Island:
I only got as far as the volcano and PS2 before I gave up:
Way too big of a task for a first project. I didn't plan ahead with the volcano and ended up making it too small. I also should have started building on land rather than on water. Very time consuming to make land!
This is the next best shot of the PS2 I can give without including too much of other people's buildings. The money angle (to the left and back of this shot) is now completely blocked by other structures.
My next project was a recreation of Port San d'Oria from Final Fantasy XI. It's probably about 90% complete.

A good place to host images if you don't have one readily accessible is imgur. -
I'm so glad I got out of minecraft early on. Things like this disturb and amaze me. I'll wait for From Dust and dick around with the hammer editor before I become ensconced in world creation.

lol yeah I was reluctant to get into it because I knew it would consume my brain, but Tsao talked me into it X-)
I still need to get screen shots of my stuff... Most of my creations are works in progress so every time I go to take pictures, I see something to edit first... And then two hours later I'm working on another project and haven't taken screenshots of anything :-P
And 27, your San D'oria model is insane. Did you go through and measure everything and draw up blueprints of the whole thing before you started, or just work it out as you went? -
@lavalizard: I worked it as I went. I had FFXI running through a server emulator on one monitor and Minecraft on another. I measured everything out either by eyeballing from the other screen or by pixel counting the map image from FFXI and converting to the arbitrary block size I chose.
Really, I should have made it 1/4 to 1/3 bigger, but I was being conservative on size so that I wouldn't hit the 64 block height limit. Since I didn't map everything out in advance, I didn't know how tall the roof of the port would be. I probably had enough room though; the roof is probably only 40 blocks above sea level right now.
The size is only an issue in the Air Travel Agency building. I didn't have any space at all to detail out the inside. I got around the size problem with the pub by making it much larger than it should have been based on my measurements.
If we ever reroll the server world, I'd prefer to somehow lower the sea level maybe 16-32 blocks to allow for taller above ground structures. Most of the stuff we've been making hasn't gone anywhere near the bottom level of the world anyway.
