Downloads: 3 Uploads: 0  |  Massive project by: Awoken Eyes & Creat1 It all started when I was searching through Youtube, curious about what people had created in Minecraft. I came across two amazing videos: The Spire:
Read more on: : i3D.net Game Forums /minecraft/175665-massive-project-awoken-eyes-creat1.html The Dam:
Seeing these two videos made me deside to share this with Creat1, as I know he loves to be building/working on huge projects (these ones are kinda massive though) and I know he will finish them. So we waited untill Johnny came on and we discussed the projects with him and we also showed him the videos. This is what happened:      My spire, obviously, will be build in the middle of that huge hole (picture 1) and Creat1's dam will be build across the hole (picture 2). Creat1 is still working out some plans about how big and how he is going to build it. The spire that I'll be building will not be the same as in the video, but give it a taste of my own and improvise here and there. On a side note: Building near, around or in our project hole is not allowed, it's exclusively reserved for our projects! If you still deside to build near, around or in our project hole, your stuff will be demolished, with or without tnt!

Downloads: 3 Uploads: 0 | We are quite done for today, we've accomplished a lot. Our projects really look so much more then just a mere 'base', as you can start seeing how everything is going to look like. As I progress with the spire, I need to keep redoing and rechecking my math about how much I should/am able to go up with each layer. I'v changed my ideas and designs quite a few times, playing with the hights of each layer and what the end result will look like. The top will have to be 2*2 wide and 4 blocks high, luckely, I'v got 10 blocks up spare room above the clouds to play with if needed. Once we have finished our projects and given it our final touches, we will be making a video! The screenies from this afternoon:     Creat1's dam is HUGE! It fills about 1/3 of the hole's edge. The screenies from this evening:   Read more on: : i3D.net Game Forums http://forum.i3d.net/showthread.php?t=175665 The spire might look big on the screenshots, but I'm not even close of being half way there. Building the base structure of the spire on my own is easy, decorating it on my own however, is going to be a pain in the ass. But I seem to be of at a good start with trying out a quickly made design. Beyond and dreadslord like this.

| For the LULZ!  | Indeed, over the last 2 weeks the server has been dead.. Creat and Awoken are practically the only people that play there now and they asked me if they could work on this project. Read more on: : i3D.net Game Forums http://forum.i3d.net/showthread.php?t=175665 This is kind of how I plan on setting up the server once 1.8 is out anyway, a world for survival, and a world for building.. So I'm testing ways of accomplishing that.

Downloads: 3 Uploads: 0 | Just finished constructing the base of the spire and I must say, it really looks good! Just a few more layers to go...  Read more on: : i3D.net Game Forums http://forum.i3d.net/showthread.php?t=175665 A look from the inside and a long way up...  Thank god the improvised dirt stairs are easily removed... Victory \o/ !!   I won't be doing anything from this point out untill Creat is online. So in the mean time, I think I'm going to draw some designs for the spire.

Downloads: 3 Uploads: 0 | Didn't had much time today to build on the decoration of the spire. But with the time I had, I made the most difficult part of the spire; the 'sphere' layer. To be able to build that part, I needed to tear down some layers of the spire to create a solid base to work with.    Read more on: : i3D.net Game Forums http://forum.i3d.net/showthread.php?t=175665 And of course, once the sphere layer was finished, I rebuilded the top layers:    I'v found a couple of texture packs that'll bring out the combination of moss stone/cobblestone out very nicely. Haven't tested them yet, probably tomorrow. The screenshots (minus the last one) are taken with an HD texture pack, which doesn't look as good as I hoped it would.

Downloads: 3 Uploads: 0 | All the textures packs (17 of them) I tested were really good, but however they never provided me with the looks I was hoping to create, so a small change of plans. I'm using obsidian now instead of cobblestone, these are the results:

Downloads: 3 Uploads: 0 | Today I really made some progress and the result are pretty stunning for me building something of this scale. Yay for me \o/ ! The screenshots are taken with a pretty cool texture pack that comes with 3 different versions: light (high elven theme), normal and dark (demonic theme). Although the dark one really isn't anything interesting unless your building dark themed stuff. Normal:    High elven theme:      Read more on: : i3D.net Game Forums http://forum.i3d.net/showthread.php?t=175665 I really like the high elven theme, it brings out the textures of the spire amazingly. Awesome project wall is awesome:  Nikooo777 likes this.

Right, live semi final match for DotA 2 is starting \o/ !

Downloads: 3 Uploads: 0 | This project was on the old MC version 1.7.3. Read more on: : i3D.net Game Forums http://forum.i3d.net/showthread.php?t=175665 I never really found enough time to complete it, so I had to abandon it, which was a shame, as I was almost finished with the last 5 bottom layes... Maybe, just maybe, if the creative world gets set up and the lag has been massively reduced, I might redo this entire project.
