I dont work for diamonds, I work for gold. Gold is better then diamonds. Also, no use for them. I just go for "glass, Iron, Coal, Cobblestone, Wood." thats all I need to make an epic house .

Yes, but the fact that you can use a diamond pickaxe that lasts more than 6 iron pickaxes (yes I'm talking literally) is quite great

But don't get me wrong, I do agree with what you have said. How do you think I survived a whole 2 weeks playing the game (when I first started) without using (or finding) any diamonds. :3

Though I don't agree about the gold replacing the diamond thing. I don't like gold except for the fact that it's color is nice for decorating, and it made me upgrade my apple to a golden one. Other than that, I don't see any uses for it, since it does break quite fast (as in faster than wood).

hits stone with one hit... lol almost anything in one hit, (obsidian no) better then diamond in my opinion, just goes down faster ... like twice as fast :P

No need for the storage rooms, I keep things close to the entrance.
I don't have enough levels for the glass bridges, the house itself is up on a ledge on the side of a cliff, and the rest of the stuff (farms, etc) is at ground level.
Too many towers in other worlds. This one will be tower-free. Plus my towers always come out looking gimped. =P

Please do =) (come up with more)


If you've already built everything you need to build with gold then I can understand tossing stacks into making pickaxes, I just don't want to walk around with 12 gold ones when I can have 1 or 2 diamond ones.

lol you would actuually only need about 6 but i love em. But yes, so I am starting a new world to. I got a shit load of wood, imma get somemore, then build. My other world was to laggy on my computer (will post screenies one of these days) because it kept snowing, and like... im on a netbook, so it lagged like fuck... Also within 2 hours of playing this... I got 7-8 64 wood planks... 5gold, 4 diamonds, Lots of Iron and Coal and cobblestone

Very nice =P What're you planning on making?

here you go... sorry that i wont show the other thing :P Its in proccess of being done, this is all you get for now, not even the inside :P

Those look nice. I love the path to the house

Did you guys see the snapshots for the new 1.2 version of minecraft? They added a new mob called ocelot (cat like), and a new jungle biome. The trees are sooooooo huge in both lengh and width I just downloaded the client.

heh I watched the update video done by the yogscast, I'm just going to wait for the update to come out.

Does look pretty sweet though.
