Wow, I just now was able to formally read and look at your post. I just have to say that looks awesome. I like the mythology you put behind it as well.

I have a simple but cozy house, on the beach where I can watch a pretty beautiful sunrise

[HEADING=1]PICTURES - Have a peek :3[/HEADING]

Spoiler

I just enjoy the little things in life, not a fan of gigantic projects.

Oooh, I like it. The texture pack is amazing as well, which one is it?

Minecraft 4kids - Size x128
With a custom GLSL Shader heavily edited by me :3

i will admit that does look really spiffy, you have just kindled a new motiavtion for me to get back into minecraft, i had built a ridiculous amount of tunnels undeground the main island and had a huge castle, but a house like that with a sunrise? that's something i'm looking forward to working towards

I'm actually really glad I could give you some motivation :3
I find it weird yet surprising, how someone who builds and constructs castles and giant projects gets inspired by something more simple with a peaceful sunrise, But it's a good thing!

I won't submit my shaders just yet, till I fix a few bugs, but the texture pack is awesome ^-^

haha i do appreciate even the small things =] in your pic everything just looked so breathtaking, sure on a large scale my stuff is awesome but its more of a "oh FUCK that's huge!" rather than a "wow..."

just downloaded all the texture mods and patches, and this is what i have to say:

Well I'm glad you liked it :3
Be sure to post some pictures! I really want to see what you'll make now

Will post more in a few hours if OP doesn't mind having the thread filled with my random pictures

I play fairly often on a small community server with a few other people. We've built a few interesting structures which are all connected together. This video tour's a little out of date now, but it's still interesting: http://www.youtube.com/phaeotrametes#p/c/F48AF8E3CEBC3446/0/PBD4iIdY1V4

I simply have many many sky bridges. I only need to go to the ground to continue my quest of destroying anything above the bedrock.

What's up with all those lines in the last pic?
Either you tried to install GLSL shaders from another person and it's giving you errors or you tried to enable anti-aliasing.

Your first picture looks great Overprotected.

Awesome, I'll put some more up once I find something worth the picture

I also really need to try and get some of those awesome mods to work with my system - due to that sucky black screen crash I don't seem to be able to get the mods to work like they should. Annoying.

You've been having that problem as well? Have you looked into fixes for it. I managed to fix mine, but then I'm not using any mods.

As far as I understood it, it has something to do with the memory management of Minecraft AND Java in 64bit versions of Windows. I installed Zan's Minimap mod and Minecraft exactly ran for about 2 minutes or so and then crashed instead of the usual hour it would take. Playing in the browser, however, eliminates the issue completely for me but Minecraft outright refuses to start if I use any mods - so it seems I have to play in vanilla until that bug is fixed . Maybe I can find some other workaround if I devote some more time into it....

That seems to be the problem. Luckily installing the 64-bit Java SDK seemed to fix the issue for me. Notch says 1.6 will be focused mainly in fixing bugs. With that Bug one of the major goals. So hopefully everything will be sorted out soon.

​

Turns out I'am stupid after all. I've checked my Java at least 3 times and was fully content to see that it was set to Auto-update never noticing that small hideous 32-bit bracket in my control panel while trusting that I do usually install 64 bit Software when available. Anyway, stuff (including mods) seems to work now after updating. I really do feel stupid.

But I digress: Thanks for getting me on the right track there

Glad to help. It seems that moving to 64bit Java fixes most cases. Now minecraft can use all that lovely RAM.

 

[EHKOS]

Making a mansion right now. But what I wanted to do and failed at was build a Super Mario Bros 3 airship. I built a club and tetris blocks and a church tho.

 

[worldruler8]

quite a lot actually, I'm making a huge political building. and I mean HUGE. and not on singleplayer. This is on, of all things, an anarchy server. It'll serve as a town collective point, where reps will go. so, the building is merely half the story. however, i have no idea how to post pics...

 

[Piorn]

I like to build ruins in deserts. Trying to make them look like they were once actual buildings that collapsed. I even make tunnels and then try to make it look like they caved in.
Sometimes I also place statues, treasures, or broken portals in the sand, just for fun or so that someone might find them (I usually play smp with some friends).

 

[Tharwen]

I made an underground dwarf mini-city, a 7-segment redstone display and counter, a large tower (but who hasn't?), and I'm currently (very slowly) working on a challenge map for the internet to have a go at.

Well first you need to upload it to an image hosting website (imageshack, photobucket, etc) then you get the url of the image itself, put image brackets around it.

let's see if this works...

the brackets are "img" and "/img" (Substitute the "" with [] Also, the link needs to be directly to the image page itself. Just right click on the image and select "View Image")

Here I got it up for ya.

And I must say, that is very very impressive. I especially like the huge greek style structure
