[Minecraft] Construction of my Underwater Base.

[Verrou]

Hi, just thought I'd make a new thread for this because the Minecraft sticky is kind of more about Stutos server and updates atm. Here I will be posting my progress as I construct my underwater base, which I hope to have completed (the outer shell at least) before the next update where sea monsters are added!

So the first thing I did was look for a good location. As you can see my current [sky]base is quite a distance away from my spawn point. Even though it's only a minutes cart ride away, I'd prefer something closer. Also because I want to explore out this direction next, I chose to make the underwater base here:


So the first step in making an underwater base is to create a solid chunk of dirt. This can then be surrounded by glass so that the dirt can be excavated without any water coming in! Here is the outline:


Next I will fill in this outline with any material at hand (gravel, sand, dirt etc.).

Stay tuned

theres already a thread for minecraft

loljk

What are you planning to have in the underwater base? When do you expect to have it completed?

Make sure you make an underground farm, I love them.

[Verrou]

It will be double level, in which will be included an underground/water farm, storage room, incinerator, smelting room and whatever else. It will also have a fishing hole which I hope to use in November

Okay, so I have finished adding the glass roof to the structure.



Next I will remove the surface entrance, construct and underwater passage way to the base and will also add the glass walls.
BTW, does anyone know why the water is acting like a little ***** -.- I thought that the entire sea/ocean was source blocks. I took one bucket out of that spot at the bottom of the screenshot and now its a block of running water o_O

That looks really good! I failed mega hard at making an underwater house :\\

[Verrou]

Ok, have finished the exterior layer of glass aswell as a rough tunnel in to the base.

[Josh]

Nice! Quick progress! Also, the ocean is source blocks, yes... however, if the one next to it isn't a source block for WHATEVER REASON, the source will start run into the non-source block.

Wow that's pretty cool, I wanna play minecraft again

[Verrou]

Hokay, last screenies and i'm off to bed It's 4am o_O

With the intermediate floor added.


And a Cartograph render.


Hopefully, tomorrow I will be doing the downstairs flooring as well as fixing up the entrance tunnel, along with other things I'm sure.
Night guys (or morning -.-)
