Not added a SS post for a while so here goes
My wife and I wanted to move somewhere to make use of the new 1.7 biomes. After a nether journey we ended up portalling up into this unassuming bit of Plains, far away from civilisation.
Humble beginnings. That dirt shape is what I put at the top of all my mining exits so I know where I've been.
My new house. Very compact.
Hmmm. I wonder how big a 1:1 scale football pitch would be in Minecraft?
Welp. Might as well go for it and build a stadium
Looking good. Also requiring an immense amount of stone.
The unlit pitch is pretty dangerous at night
The first custom built village
"Daddy, build a castle! Daddy, build a castle!" etc.
Industrial farming underway.
I built a viewing tower so I could look at everything I'd built.
The villagers in the first village where annoying me. So, time to build a bigger one elsewhere.
The Administrative HQ (and hidden door farm)
Ami and Jelly riding my horses. They managed to kill one.
That first village. The shacks on the other side of the river are purely decorative.
A new addition to the Nether Rail that we're currently re-vamping
