Epic Airship Airport Tower

I hate describing something I've built as "epic" but seriously folks: I am really happy with this one! It turned out better than I imagined it would.


The large air balloon is from the West Apvia Trading Company (WATC). The tower isn't really meant for commercial traffic but since I haven't built the commercial port yet (and I will) they had no choice but to use this one.


I have already started imagining what the passenger ships will look like and I expect a military base is in order too.

The airship tower is huge but the WATC ship makes it look small.

 There are two parks at the bottom of the airship port and a water port (for ships) at the very bottom. It will be connected by rail too but I haven't gotten that far yet.

The WATC ship is just a behemoth!

This is a smaller ship dropping off passengers and goods.

This view is from inside the top terminal.

Unfortunately it seem Apvia has a power mad bureaucracy.

Travelers can enjoy world class food as they watch ships coming and going.

This is the rest of the food court.

The WATC hold is empty right now.

I haven't finished the control tower yet.


Note: My last save starts at the Boodle Station and unfortunately I failed to place a block and button there beside the cart before saving. A nasty creeper blew the whole thing apart and I had to make repairs before I saved. It shouldn't be too much trouble since the avatar has both a block and button.

Ancient Creeper Temple

I was exploring off the end of the Fukushima road and ran into an ancient creeper temple:

So yeah, on to the next project.

New Lighting beds and half blocks for minecraft

So I just snapped a few pics of the bed and the lighting. I think the bed was a nice addition since you can sleep in it at night and wake up in the morning:

I'm not sure about the light. It just seems like a texture pack though it's nice and smooth:

The bed looks more like an army cot

Yeah, I really did carve this room out. The stairs at the far end now connect with Spiderhome and Waterfall Cove by way of another huge underground chamber.

The glass floor is over a zombie mob cube so you can see them.

I took this from a new tower. I'm still not sure what I'm going to make here. The pyramid roof is on top of the mob tower.

At the far end of the room beside the ovens you can see the collector for the mob tower. The door in the middle of the room leads to the zombie mob generator. I intend to make this an arena - some day.
