Ooh I should build a mosque, some AMAZING architecture

[Thorin]

With onion domes?  That might get difficult, to make bulbs from square blocks.

..

I look forward to oohing and aahing at how you solve that problem

Lots of arches! That's all I'm sayin, arches and tile patterns and of course minarets.

We already have a giant hourglass I don't think it is a problem.

True

[Thorin]

Dammit, now you've got me thinking about what I want to do after I do the next thing after the thing I'm getting ready to do after what I'm doing now!

Now: new mine
Next: level grinder
Then: enchanting tools
And: floating abode (castle? keep? hovel? dunno, but up on a floating platform with some ingenious way to get up and down)
New that you made me think of: roman architecture (bath? villa?)

Thorin <-- expected to be sleep-deprived until 2014.

[Mr. Analog]

Haha, I wish there was a block type that looked like columns (Hellenistic if possible)

neither portal, just make sure you build it so the portal is just below the cloud level and it should work.

I'm planning on building at least one floating island.

So to go from ground level to floating abode level, you'd have to step in a nether portal, go to the nether, step in another nether portal, and go up to the floating abode?  Are there any problems with portals being close together?

I think so yeah, theres a minimum distance they have to be before they don't just connect back to the same portal /I think/.

[Lazybones]

Check the wiki, they bind to the closest portal, in the over world they have to be 128 blocks apart, I believe in the neither they only have to be 16 apart. So from the neither perspective that is a very short walk.

[Thorin]

I'm reading all about portal placement now: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Nether_portal

Looks like they can be closer together if you also get the Y coordinate exact, otherwise you need to space them out more for the "exclusion zone".

edit: creating new thread for this

[Mr. Analog]

Ach, new protuberances have appear'd!

The Church of the Groaning Zombie

A strange, mystical arch over a mineshaft

A new watchtower

[Thorin]

Nice!  I like how you spiced up that water entry to your new mines.  Also, Groaning Zombie approves!

I tried to build a monster spawner room underground, but no monsters spawned for two minecraft days and nights.
