Gravel beaches begone!
So it's been a hot minute since I did an update - almost a month, but I had a little break; then did very small jobs before coming back and deciding what exactly I wanted to be getting on with. Just before I left Mount DOOOooom, I realised I had plenty of redstone lamps and sensors left over from the old roofs. Although it's not worth posting a picture I did fit them around the new roofs before I left.
There was also one little thing I wanted to do...
Previously I moved a passage door by the end of the minecart track inside DOOOooom as it was right by the door and very awkward accidentally stepping onto the pressure plate. So I moved the back wall of the passage back a few blocks and moved the door down a few places. Similarly I have had an annoyance getting off the minecart as it's right by a column:
Solution:
A simple little alcove so it goes off round a corner to the right would suffice!
Moving on, I went on a harvesting spree at the oak and birch farms and turned all the birch logs into planks then sticks, filling up a single chest for spares. You can never have enough sticks! Eventually I new I wanted to go back and continue the
Chunk Plaza having made a great progress on the exterior of the hotel more recently. But to do this I would need gravel to go with the sand already stored in a chest there at the Plaza.
Just beyond the horse/donkey and sheep barns there are some old gravel beaches left over from Beta that I've never been fond of and have though of doing something with for some time. So where better to get a mass tonne of gravel and replace it with dirt so it grows back over to nice grassland?
This is the area.
From this, I got just under 27 stacks of gravel and could've got more if i's gone the block just below the surface.
Afters:
I also converted my little square of Mycellium out the back of the home to a covering the grounds just down the steps from the 7 year memorial:
Went to the nether and began converting my tunnel to the nether fort (Towards the gold farm), reducing the tunnel from 6 width to five with a low over hang overhead and just a strip long of ice instead of strips to make it more efficient. This is when things went awry however, when I accidentally hit a pigman! It doesn't matter if I went 40 blocks away, they never de-angered. and I swore not to go back in there for a while!
Getting back to the
Chunk Plaza, the reason why I needed even more lime green concrete was for the exposed side next to McDunky's. I wanted to make that fit the rest of the build obviously and not just look like the side of a chunk wall - which would require masses of green concrete.
At the beginning:
Progress:
I haven't decided yet with to do simple window sills or carry the girder effect on from the front?
I also decided at the far end of the junk wall to "Cap it off" to have a residents entrance as well as the main one/reception lobby, although this would mean cutting a big corner of the last of the chunk wall off - not that it was a bad thing though.
From this new part at the far end it will join into the reception lobby:
Finally, close to home by storage at the main home I was running out of space to hide chests behind the creeper painting:
Usually when I got to fix my mending tools I always go to the most proficient, my skeleton farm down the long "Rib cage tunnel" from the 4th corner tower at the back of Mount DOOOooom. As well as an excess of bones (Which I converted all into bone blocks whilst I waited) I pick up tonnes of arrows and the 3 - 4 chests hidden in the wall between the paintings wasn't cutting it any more so just before it I dug out a small storage room:
[I chose here because i) it was near but ii) the
original science lab used to be here in the old days before moving into the big cave at the back of storage where it is now. Turns out this storage is just under the enchantment room so it had to be a low room because of that above it and the library beneath it. It's very simple for now but will hold all the arrows I ever need.
Now I just need to transport all those bone blocks over from the skeleton farm...
