Retouched my battlements with smoothstone and I've started on the central keep. Got the first floor done last night.

Any weapon systems? How far away is your killing ground?

No, but I'm considering adding a cannon or two on the towers once I get a compact design that won't overpower the look of the place.

My mob farm is just to the left of the pic. You can see a bit of the ground that's currently covering it. I have an entrance in my castle that I can use to access the collection room of it without having to leave my walls. My goal is to eventually have subterranean wheat, sugarcane, cactus, and tree farming. An underground ranch to spawn peaceful creatures. Access to my mob farm and my mine all within my castle. The only resource I wouldn't be able to obtain without leaving my castle would be sand for glass and TNT manufacturing and I'm not ruling out digging a tunnel all the way to the coast and setting up a satellite fort just for a base to collect sand from.

Do you, or are you planning an obsidian farm?

Yeah, but it's such a minor thing I didn't really detail it. All an obsidian farm is is a trench and a water source.

Though for most things I prefer to do things the hard way and cast obsidian in place.

So what kinds of battles do you guys get in this game?

Depends. In single players its purely you vs. the mobs. In multiplayer it depends on what's been set up server side. Pure vanilla SMP with no mods can still be combative by turning on PvP damage. I've seen mods that recreate halo deathmatch and many other things. With the sandbox nature of the game it's whatever you want it to be.

Progress to date:

So, where do you store the wenches?

The tower.

Sucker for the classics I see.

Nice job by the way.

Hmm, what scale was that made on? I doubt you could do a 1:1 minas tirath without getting into some major excavation because of the height limit of the world.

Saw that pic this morning... total win!

Though to be fair I can think of a few changes in the defenses of the White City I wouldn't mind adding.

So I finally decided to try it out, now the damned thing messes up on me ! After 5 = 10 mins into it my keyboard stops working. I can look around but not move using the keys. Any of you get this prob?
