Exploring the world - New Continent (Swamp)

One day I wanted to go off into my mine so I set off for the furtherest away structure in the ocean. When I was almost there I caught glimpse of land. On the land were loads of tress with vines falling from them. When I reached the land I saw one of the funniest things, there was a lava pool at the surface setting all the surrounding trees on fire.


Luckily I had a bucket of water with me (I always take one to my mines) and turned it all into Obsidian. Then I jumped up onto a small hill (About five blocks high) and saw LOADS of red shrooms. By the time i'd finished collecting them all, I had about eighteen. Night was closing in so I killed a re of the chickens running around and jumped into a small cave, just visible from the surface. I threw a couple torches around inside, placed a Crafting Table, Furnace, two chests and sealed of the exit except for one block which I use as a guide to see when night was over (Light comes through)

My First House - Dock

Here is the little dock I built to travel the huge ocean near my house. It was filled with about ten boats but as you can see,  Iv used a couple. (Those structures in the water are where I found waterfalls in my mine and followed them up. I marked them encase id ever want to go back down to that spot)

My First House - My farms

In total I have three farms. In the Screenshots I will only be showing one but they all have the same basic layout. The first two  farms have Wheat growing and the last farm has Sugercane, with wheat on the corners.

I built my farms under my island. It took some effort but I love the end result. At first I was sure if the would work but lucky for me they did! The pond is a 2x3 rectangle with dirt all around it. (Encase people wanted to know and for future reference when I look back, the doors on the right and left lead to my mines, the left is where my main mine is)

Here is the "Skylight" as I like to call it which lets sunlight into the farm area, feeding the crops.

Here is a chest I put into the last farm room, I filled two rows with Stone Hoes and  the bottom right area is where I store my seeds.

Here is the "Skylight" on the surface.

Here are the other two "Skylights" for my farms.

My First House - Portal Room

Here is my Nether Portal. I put it in here and just used the basic ten Obsidian blocks (To lazy to mine fourteen LOL) I covered the top two Portal blocks and obsidian block so the room would be the same hight as all the others.

My First House - Crafting Rooms



Here is the hallway to my two Crafting rooms as I like to call them. On the left is my Kitchen/Smithery and on the right is my Crafting Room.

Here is my Kitchen/Smithery. It looks the same on the wall opposite (Behind me) Giving me a total of  12 Furnaces.

Here is my Crafting room. Like my Kitchen/Smithery, it is the same on the opposite side. The door on the left leads to mu Incinerator.

Here is my Incinerator where I throw all the stuff I don't need/want in. It was a natural lava spring that I just closed off except for this one window, which I throw the items in.




My First House - Fishing Hole

Here is a random little fishing hole I built. I only built it for fun.

My First House - Rape Dungeon

Here is the second room of my house, what I like to call "The Rape Dungeon" (Inside joke).  Its made with Moss Stone and Cobble stone. It has my two chests where I store all my items for this house/area. (This is what you see when you enter from my First Room)

Here is the dungeon, looking from the other side of the room.

To give it a more "Rape Dungeon" feel, I made a makeshift Creeper Face out of Cobble Stone (I know not that good, but I'm happy with it)
