I usually go until I die and then restart a new world.  I also have mucked around with some other configs.  I will also try a new world if there is a new update.

My computer crashed, and I lost all my work. I actually stoped playing minecraft because I realized how much I lost. But I can try to give you an image in your head. It was 201 blocks in diameter. The city was sorounded by a wall, around 60 blocks high at the highest, but for the most part 10 blocks, since I made it between some mountains. The wall had a 3 block wide room inside along the whole thing, and ten floors. The main tower basicly looked like the maain tower in minas tirith. There were also an enormous mine dug out by tnt under, to get all the material for the city.  

Ugh, that has to be more than a little frustrating. The sheer amount of time I've spent on my world makes me keep up like four different backups these days, because I would be so dejected if I lost what I'd managed to put together. Hopefully you'll get inspired again and will try to get rolling on playing once more!

I'll wait 'till I get a more competent pc. I'm really interested in tekkit, or feed the beast, but I'm not sure that I could play it as flawlessly as I want to :/

Well, here's the most recent project I did. My World Tree.

I've done varying things before this, but only a couple so far were really long term, big projects. This one took me the longest at about two weeks. All the trees that are vertical were grown, not placed, and this took a LOT of scaffolding.

Lol, that gigantic tree reminds me of my 1st world.
I have been creating a gigantic tree village. That one tree looks a lot bigger is scope than mine. Though mine is focusing more on many different trees and a civilization . It looks sweet

Oh and actually, I hate gold as I feel on principle multiplayer should be free. The xBox us the only one that does that.

^^ WOW! You guys put my paltry buildings to absolute shame! That tree house is one of the coolest things I've ever seen! What did you use to make the top of the tree look like that?

On a side note I wish the 360 version would get all the nice things the PC version has. Also you guys think there will ever be a Minecraft 2? (especially in the case of next gen consoles?)

A tree civlization would be pretty cool. heh You'll have to show that off when you get it done.

Well, first I grew the trunk up to the height I was looking for, then I created a massive, single block dirt layer around the top of the trunk. Using that, I grew trees at different levels from the outside of the tree canopy toward the middle. After all of those trees were grown, I side placed logs between each tree to give the look of massive branches, which fed into one of four larger branches that came into the middle. The result is as you see. Took some doing, but I think it turned out well.

The 360 will be getting the cool things the PC does, but it'll just take some time. The PC version had a massive head start and was the first to be developed, so naturally it would be far ahead of the pack. And there may be a Minecraft 2 far flung into the future. Right now, the sales are still amazing and Mojang still updates the PC version in leaps and bounds, with Beta snapshots still releasing weekly. So if there IS a sequel? That's a very future thing. heh

And here's a few more pictures from projects I've been working with off and on.



The aquarium room of my underwater fortress. I decided I wanted a base that didn't really look like much on the surface and, at the time, was practising to make a fortress that nobody else could find if I decided to play on a MP server. So, I hollowed out an underwater mountain. I'll get more pictures of that when I make it more impressive, but that's my viewing room.



That black area on the tower is a lighting glitch. They happen sometimes. This was The Tower, which I mostly built when I was playing with different types of architecture and the like. It's pretty massive, as the peak goes to y=140, so approximately 80 squares tall. I've already managed to link this one to my Nether rail network (which I can post more on, if you guys want to see that) and, amusingly, has a friggin' massive double chasm/dungeon beneath it. I actually carved off the top of a mountain to get all of the cobblestone I needed. Heck of a build and took me about a week.




This picture was NOT a personal build. This thing is actually a desert temple, which was added to the PC game reasonably recently. The second picture, however, is what it looked like when I found it. So, because I needed a home in this particular area of my map, I dug it out completely, swiped the treasure in the basement, modified it so that I would be able to use it as a secure shelter and voila, instant ancient looking home!
