Smogon playing minecraft? Sounds fun. I joined the group so I hope to join you guys soon.
With my latest project, Château de Chenonceau (warning, very big picture at the bottom in hide tags), I've whipped out a few sheets of graph paper and estimated dimensions (based on several given dimensions) in order to maximize the realism. I'm really going to enjoy having a brand-spanking-new castle in which to glorify myself with. It might be a giant waste of time in the long run, but I'm really going to love this for a while after I'm done with it. I've never put so much effort into anything really haha.how hard is it to build buildings well
by that i mean....how difficult is it to plan the building and not fuck up while building
I always put torches on the right side of walls. That way if I can't remember how to get back, I just turn around and keep the torches on my left side. If a cave is too big to light up the area completely, then I'll put torches on the floor so I don't get confused when I need to go back. Also, if an entrance to a tunnel or cave is rather small, I put a ton of torches around it to mark it.How do you guys avoid getting lost underground? Those last two caves, I had to dig my way out from the bottom of the world.
Normally I've used compasses and hoped for the best, but next time I find a big cave system, I'm probably just gonna take redstone torches to use as markers. I don't use redstone anyway, and if you place them every time you come to a fork or large cavern it'd give you a nice indication of your way back.How do you guys avoid getting lost underground?

this is pretty smart, i'm going to adopt this as i too get lost underground a lotI always put torches on the right side of walls.

What could the water mob be? Friend or foe? :O My bet is on some sort of jelly fish that floats around, and stings you if you bump into it much like a cactus. They could have a similar design to ghasts as well. And the paint thing is intriguing, possible dyes so we can change the colour of the wool we get from sheep? That opens up so many more design ideas.. I can't wait !_!Notch's Blog said:On Wednesday, we’ll have a strategy meeting of sorts and try to work out some vague plans and try to decide how to drive Minecraft beta development and try to define what the finished game will actually be. We won’t start work on modding or anything like that before then.
But! We (especially Jens) have added a bunch of new content to Minecraft that we want to get out asap, so there will be a content patch update next week with a whole pile of fun new toys, including a water mob and quite possibly paint if we can figure out how exactly it should work.
