RE VIVE LA THREAD

Ahem.

Anyway, not too much worth noting has happened in the past few months. With the exceptions of:

• Due to road construction, my road was renamed.
  
• Due to some idiot, my road was renamed Ouiet Cove.
  
• Due to some medical tape, it is now named Quiet Cove.
  
• Due to Tony Stewart winning the first two races of NASCAR's championship, he has a good chance of winning.
  
• Due to Jimmie Johnson wrecking hard into the wall at Charlotte, he does not have a good chance of winning.
  
• Due to Dan Wheldon crashing and burning at Las Vegas, the Indy Car world is very very sad.
  
• Due to a friend very kindly getting me a gift code for Minecraft, I am working on an awsome system of fortresses, bases, and facilities, which I hope to inform you about regularly.
  
• Due to my Java being fixed, I can now help you more actively with any scripting help.
  
• Due to the wiki being down, fixing up and working on my games would require an intense amount of Notepad++, GIMP, and tinypic.
  

Due to making that list, my fingers are tired.

THE ULTIMATE FORTRESS

Here's some pics of the headquarters of my MC project (singleplayer ATM, might make a downloadable later).


EXIT OF DWELLING

I consistently kept walking through the double-doors into the mineshaft instead of going out so I put up this sign

SECONDARY MINESHAFT ENTRANCE

This used to be the way out, but then I connected my dwelling to my main mineshaft and turned this into a secondary shaft. Later, I blocked that way halfway along the passage (no screenshot of it) and made it go up steps through the stone house.
[And yes, I have a chest solely for dirt. Why, I am not sure.]

CHESTS

Organization is key to getting work done, especially when your inventory can only hold so much.

ENTRANCE TO DWELLING

This is inside the stone house of the next picture. You go down steps and to the left. Before I built the house, it connected to the mineshaft which you can see in the next two pictures.

STONE HOUSE AND MINESHAFT

This was taken from the steps up to the bridge out of the fortress. You can see the entrance to the main mineshaft to the right of the house.

MINESHAFT

This one goes a looong way, and then it turns to the left and goes down a looong flight of steps.

TOWER

Leaving the mineshaft, we can see the tower looming just ahead and overhead.

TOWER WINDOW

Sunset over the nearby forest.

PATH OUT OF FORTRESS

This view from atop the tower shows you the half-built path from the fortress to other unbuilt structures.

ENTRANCE TO FORTRESS

This is the official entrance to the ULTIMATE FORTRESS HQ, showing when it was made and by whom (although the latter distinction might seem a bit useless since it's singleplayer) and what exactly it has.

OUTSIDE THE FORTRESS WALLS

And here is my lovely moat (inhabited by a mad, bellowing, mob-eating [possibly] cow) and my front-yard lake, which was intended to be a moat but after the trouble of making one dry moat and filling a small portion of one with water I decided not to take it that far.

EXIT OF FORTRESS COMPLEX

Remember that odd-looking thing near the end of the path in the view from atop the tower? This is from inside it. The doors lead out to the world.


And that is currently all (mostly) of my MC ULTIMATE FORTRESS. It is in peaceful mode, since I never can seem to find coal in other modes of Survival, but it is made to resist all non-player mob attacks (the in-side of the moat even has ladders to stop spiders from climbing up; that part is not totally done so I'm still working on collecting wood for the ladders).
