My first minecraft house was the prebuilt wooden box you got when you started a new game in Indev. Those days were fun.

reCaptcha: Justice HEcont
That sounds like the name of a Justice from Judge Dredd. A really awesome, ass-kicking Justice that could go toe to toe with Dredd on any day of the week. XD

A hole in the side of a dirt cliff. I'd looked up a video on YouTube just before though, to get me started, so I knew how to make a pickaxe and torch.

Then I went and made Rapture. Jarring change of scale, that.
ooh! Can we see pictures?
Alright, found it. Finally. Here's a save file. Explore Rapture and the airship, find my home (now one of many mines) if you can, take a look at the lighthouse and mountain carving, then explore the dungeon, if you like. The dungeon is complete with monsters, traps and puzzles, as well as a story. You start next to it with your back to most of the other stuff, if memory serves.

Link here [http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0A7A6XIO] (or rather, link to the second version where I ironed out many, but not all of the dungeon's issues). Rules for the dungeon in the following spoiler. These are important if you want said dungeon to work at all.


Rule one: Don't break anything unless you have the appropriate tools. You may only break stone/metal (but not stuff made of it) if you have a pick, earth/sand/gravel with a shovel and logs/planks/bookcases/workbenches/something I may have missed with an axe. Anything else, even glass? No breaking it.

Exception: You may always break redstone, clay and signs, even with your bare hands.

Rule two: Try not to hack anything in.

Rule three: Ignore the above rules if it's more fun to break them.

Rule four: Yes, you may place blocks you have.

Rule five: There are riddles. They come in two kinds. Some are hints. Some, which you see over a chest, have to be answered before you can take the contents. Just guess and check against the answers here.

Rule six: Almost forgot to add this, but it's kinda important. Whenever you reach a room with an eye, you may back up your save. If you die, restart from there.

Rule seven: Don't bring anything into the dungeon. Anything at all. Though I suppose some food would be fine given that you need that stuff these days.

First chest: Achilles

Second chest: Hercules


Warnings for the dungeon:

1: The boss fight DOES NOT WORK as originally intended. Just do whatever. Or even take the exit out, I guess. You can seriously just run if you want.

2: My attempts to be creepy are going to fail catastrophically.

3: Oh wow Endermen are going to make a huge mess of this place aren't they.

4: This was made ages ago and will therefore seem terribly crude these days.

5: It won't look anything like what I intended unless you use the texture pack included.


That's it, I guess. All my projects are fairly terrible, but I'd certainly like to hear your thoughts on it.

I dug a hole in the ground/slight hill, made a bedroom, a crafting room, farm, and a library (just for looks). Then I built a giant fortress around my hole in the ground house with lookouts, a portcullis, and a glass observatory. Then I made a mine shaft and an underwater lake in the courtyard of my hole in the ground fortress house.

Then I got bored and stopped playing.

a small 6x6 underground room made of wood with a mysterious stairway going down that I sealed off with four doors after becoming paranoid of it.

I built a creeper proof bunker underground, then built my kingdom around it. Though it's less a kingdom and more a giant estate but since then I've moved onto my new world where I'm constructing a proper society.

Half this.

I only got the walls two blocks high, didn't get a roof. I had taken too long and skeletons were shooting at me when I was trying to build it. Then I got blown up by a creeper because I forgot about the one block range for setting them off.

Then I vowed to only play peaceful mode. I'm not for survival games anyway, I just came to build.

My first home in peaceful land was small two story cabin by the sea, with a balcony on the second floor front. Then I created a small mine castle like building on the beach and then tunneled in and got down almost halfway to the bottom and built my great dwarf hall, with pillars and fountains and a golden throne. I then started construction on a castle across from my cabin. It was going to be slightly out in the ocean(uber moat), a stone bridge connecting it to the beach. I only got about 5% done as I also created a brick and glass green house, and then I stopped playing because I lost interest.

By the way, are there any mods to the game so that I can control the time of day? Like it starts to get dark out, and then I press a button and it is day again. Because daytime is preferable for building.

Same as everyone else, my very first "home" was a little dirt box. After that, it was a square room cut into a cliffside, with a staircase leading into a little hidden-away valley with a water fall and a river, all colsed off at the valley mouth by a great big wodden wall and with a tower rising up to the top of the hill opposite my home. There's a mine going under the house itself, and one digging down through the back wall of the valley, complete with minecart. To top it all off, the walls are absolutely *covered* in torches.

My first home was a dirt house on top of a tree. Eventually, i made the house into stone. A little while later I replaced the tree trunk with a stone column and a ladder and enclosed all the space between the house and the ground, making a big stone tower. Then I added floors, lighting, windows, a foyer in the front, and crenelations on the roof.

The next house I built was underwater in the lake a short distance from my fort, and I dug a tunnel in my mine connecting the two.

First house was a massive treehouse; it was freakin' awesome. Well, at least until it caught fire and burned down...

For my first night, I lived in a whole and dug stone with my bare fists.

My first house was a rustic cabin in the snow, with stone floors. Loved that place until I got lost and never found it again.

A 9x9x18 pillar of wood and dirt, I did not know there were skeletons, just creepers and zombies which I had heard were ground based. (also was early alpha so spiders couldn't climb) Needless to say, I died.

Been there. Samey looking hilly islands in all directions from my spawn. Didn't have the SLIGHTEST idea which direction I'd wandered in to build the first place. That was a real letdown. Since that time I built many towers with at least 5 torches at the top to find my way around.

Edit: And its those kinds of innovations in MC that really make your day.

First shelter? Just a box of dirt. First home? An awesome undergroudn base built into the prettiest cliff wall (the cliff encircled a small and hard to access resort of sorts) I've ever accidentally come across in the game. I don't have screenshots tho :/

a hole dug out in the side of a cliff, which I later found out was a misstep on my part because it started raining creepers...
