There are so many builds in the creative forum, but no one posts any here. Why not? I'm curious to see what people have been able to do in survival mode, so please post your builds here.
Well, it's not technically finished yet, but I have completed the shell of my inverting point tower... thingy...
Here's a couple of shots:
From far off to the side,
from on top,
Unfortunately, couldn't get usable screenshots from the interior due to not enough lighting. As I said it wasn't really finished beyond the shell itself. Maybe I'll look into making a more fleshed out show-and-tell once it's further along.
Right now though I am fiddling with redstone and noteblocks to create a short melody (Pachelbel's Canon in D) to play in a nice loop while it's night time then stop once it's daytime. I was surprised at how difficult it is, considering I'm not much of a redstone casual and I'm not very familiar with standard circuits. =P
Nice house too by the way. The lure for survival for me, I think, is the fact that I want to do everything people do in Creative, but getting every single raw resource myself and with my own hands and pickaxes and shovels. And the mining calms me and my OCD. =)

Wow, that tower in the first screen shot... Well done! Love it.
There are a number of threads in our "Show Your Creation / Screenshots" forum dedicated to survival world existence and construction. Mine can be found there. Lots of up-to-date images and explanatory text. Most everything of significance is found in my initial post (#1).
I think you haven't looked around enough because there are plenty of active threads based on survival builds at the moment.
For example mine right here. (lol advertising)
Here is my current survival house for example:
Wouldn't it be more efficient if you just divided the plot in 9x9 squares and put a single water pit in each centre? Aesthetically, it still looks great though.
Because most of the threads posted here get moved to the screenshots section of the forum.

Both the first and the second screenshot showcase the same structure. =)

other pics of minecraft are there too not just building stuff.
