I might have to build it, it does sound like a fun project. heh Not really on the drowning thing. Blacksaber mentioned the one way to at least increase the time of drowning, but I tend to do it in a fairly simple way. First, I build a small structure right in the middle of the area I want to build on. 4x4x4 typically works. Make it solid. Then, while going up to get air and then sinking down, you knock out a few of the blocks out of the side, just enough to make an air hole inside the 4x4x4 cube (or, better, knock out two blocks and place a door on it, which creates an air pocket). Once you do that, you hollow the place out and, voila, you have an area underwater that you can survive and build from. So long as you don't destroy the roof, there'll always be at least an area to work from. You do the same in other places, basically creating a series of areas that you can go between for breaths of air. Then you prep the area and start building. Works pretty well! |
Do you have to make an underwater structure solid and then mine through it to get the water out or can you simply enclose a section of water and the water will go away?
