As He Creates...

In my last few posts I've touched on philosophy, music, and my reasons for creating this blog. Now it's time for something much more important - Minecraft. If you're unfamiliar with the game, I suggest you check it out. It's considered a "sandbox" game, meaning you can pretty much do whatever you want. At the heart of the game is mining for materials and building structures. Although, if you want you can avoid these steps altogether and run around fighting monsters at night in an attempt to gain gunpowder to create tnt and blow up part of your seemingly never ending world (part of what makes this game so amazing is that the world you are in is self generating and you can almost walk forever). Here are a few screenshots of things I've built or am working on. They should give you a feel for what you can do in the game if you haven't played it or heard of it before.

 This one is of an ugly "cobblestone" castle i made.

 Here is a side shot of a giant sphinx I constructed out of sandstone. The face unintentionally looks like Frank from Donnie Darko.

 Behind the sphinx is a giant "netherrack" pyramid. I intend on having the entire front side on fire with a railway going up the side.

 These two are of the inside of the unfinished pyramid. It's so large that it is completely dark if you stand near the center.

My humble room, with my recently tamed wolves and some artwork.

All of these structure were made legitimately, meaning no inventory hacks or mods were used. I have a few ideas that I'd like to manifest into creations, but they will take awhile to build. I'm planning to make a giant tree with floors (sort of like the first dungeon in Ocarina of Time). Next to the tree I intend to construct a floating ship. I also wanted to use note blocks (blocks that play sound) to create an in-game version of "Song of Storms" (yeah, I'm a big Ocarina of Time fan). Thanks for reading. Post any screenshots of stuff you've done in the comments. Bonus points to anyone who can name the title reference. I'll give you a hint- the Sphinx is sort of related.
