So, Minecraft.

[DeeBye]

But for now, Here's a video tour of the Fortress I'm currently constructing: Nordvang WIP tour

That's a kickass tower right there. I have a couple of questions though. Do you actually like that texture pack? I've seen it a lot, but when I tried it out I didn't really care for it. What's the appeal? I only ever use the default texture pack, or OCD when I'm building something precise and I need to count blocks easily.

Is that tower build totally in vanilla survival? If so, awesome job. It's one thing to build something cool in Minecraft, but it's quite another to build something cool while also having to gather all the resources by yourself and guard against enemies. So many times I've had to rebuild stuff because a creeper silently snuck up on me from behind and blew up half my build.

I finally got around to automating my Sugar Cane farm with pistons.


Here's the redstone wiring on the outside. I thought it was going to be more resource-intensive than it actually was. I had to add a few repeaters to get the whole row of pistons to fire because the farm is 25 blocks long. Here's an outside shot of the wiring. Looking at the screenshot just now makes me realize I could have made the repeater loop a bit smaller with another repeater.
