@Barbershop666; You haven't answered my question. How old are you?
Minecraft is no longer fun. Your goals and/or achievements don't amuse me in any way.
I understand what you have done, and that it's an achievement for you, but I'd rather waste my time playing FPS games or something similar.
Why are you so concerned about my age? I hope the way I type has convinced you at least that I'm not 12.
Of course you no longer think minecraft is fun. Its most likely due to the fact that you have no imagination. I never asked for you to be amused by my achievements, you commented here. That was your choice.
FPS games can be fun. But playing those anymore than a few weeks and you better have a clear goal for it in mind, or making substantial progress, otherwise you're just stimulating your brain for the sake of stimulation. Its cyclical and pointless, and the ratio of enjoyment/frustration is nowhere near mitigated enough for me to consider it to be a worthwhile long term expenditure of my time.
@Barbershop666; thanks for the laugh OP, "Its most likely due to the fact that you have no imagination.".
I don't enjoy Minecraft anymore, simple as that. My imagination is not overrated, and I'm a good builder myself.
How does it feel, knowing you're throwing away money for pointless sandbox games?
I randomly play it, visit servers. Of course I'd play it more often if I had friends online.
I escape boredom/stimulate myself by scripting various languages. Take my signature for example, refresh the page a few times. (I've already made a support ticket if it's allowed (it doesn't include logs)). It's sad, how I can't update my linux machine from apache 2.2.15.
Minecraft is a virtually unlimited blank canvas, painted in the likeness of nature to simulate surviving and eventually, the building of civilizations. Its open-ended style is a brilliant reality for people with the dreams and creativity to manifest what they're envisioning, within that reality.
I wouldn't need other people to play, I could do this single-player if I needed to. This isn't about friends, it isn't about random servers, its a tool for activating the functions in your brain to reshape this reality how you see fit. If you're completely blind to these possibilities, then it is indeed true that you're lacking imagination, or that your imagination is incompatible with this style of game and unadaptable.
Also, since you only buy the game once, and that there are no membership fees, you do realize we both spent the same amount of money on the game, right? That idiotic point you raised either makes you an imbecile for not realizing that, or a pirate because you achieved a work-around. If you can't spend 20 bucks on a game that clearly deserves the minor monetary tribute to play it, then you're cheap, poor, or both.
Dude I wish I could join you on your survival! That much cobble.. Fricking epic! My face right now
Thanks man! At this point the people who I'm looking to play with REALLY have to be at the level, I have more than my fair share of random people who barely play or just aren't that serious about it. While I'm doing this, they're all proud of their full suit of iron armor, or asking me where the best levels are to mine for diamonds. I guess that's what you get for recruiting your IRL friends into your server. At this point, from the forums, I'd definitely play with ironmagnus or crumpetixx, but those are the only members who's intelligence has shouted at me, at this point.
As far as this project is concerned, its fully mine. I cannot accept help. But I'm looking for good rivalry, and/or excellent collaboration on way huger than this project, say. Or even around this size of a project.
You know, I just thought of someone who I could liken you to: Dataless822. He is a youtuber that makes these ENORMOUS builds, like an overworld nether-portal based gold farm which took DAYS to just mine the obsidian for. He had so many portals that when he went to light them before he had made a killing mechanism, his computer nearly crashed.

Ughhhh . . . why did you have to mention him. I haaaate him. He makes these huge builds, but most of them I just don't care for at all, because of how pointless or inefficient they are.
Like that witch farm he built? They'd walk off and get caught in the water stream, and then they'd swim up a water elevator, and then fall to their death. That whole path that takes the better part of a minute, or longer, for the witches to traverse, when instead you could've killed them much quicker with an immediate fall.
Or his coa coa bean farm, or any of those other farms, where its fun to watch the water go down, but then you have to spend an hour replanting. Also, he always uses a texture pack when he records videos. I'm not banging on people using texture packs, but we all understand which blocks are which in the vanilla texture, and when doing a tour or a tutorial, that's what you should use.
Yeah, nah. The enormous respect I have for youtubers is directed at JL, zipkrowd, Daniel Kotes, Tango Tek, and others like them. They combine epic sized builds with precise efficiency, that's my style, or at least what I hope to create.
The iron ore is useless, I'll keep it as ore, but coal blocks are nice for building. I'll sort and count all that stuff up soon.
Build a giant replica David or Thinker sculpture with the coal, On burning man weekend light one toe with a flint and steel and see how long it takes to burn. Put it on youtube. Just because.
I signed up here just to say I admire your determination and vision.

That's a pretty brilliant idea. But right now, I haven't created a wither skeleton farm yet, so coal is currently non-renewable, so I'd rather save it until then. Wow, you made an account just so you could comment on my project? I feel so special :'D

I find it hard to justify not using coal for that reason; it is far easier to go in a cave and mine coal instead of relying on a mob farm and it can be found in such vast quantities that you might as well call it an infinite resource. For example, in my current world I have already filled up a double chest with coal blocks (31,000+ coal), although mostly mined with Fortune III (still over 18,000 coal ore, minus what I've used for torches and smelting, which is to say, a lot; and speaking of smelting, instead of just storing iron ore as-is, if you smelt it and turn it into iron blocks you can store 9 times as much in the same space).
This was also all mined from caves within 300 blocks of my base (although, of course, these caves are much bigger than vanilla, but I mined coal at about the same rate in my first world, with vanilla cave generation and no mods, in the month after 1.6 came out; of course, 1.7 would likely throw a wrench into the works with its much-reduced cave generation).
Is there a youtube I can check out or something? If not then I think you should consider making one, because if you can do stuff like this... wow, thats insane

You've got to be kidding me. Running around, mining for coal for hours, rather than going afk overnight at your wither skeleton farm, and waking up with 20 stacks? Please. I'm eliminating all purpose to ever even be branch mining underground. Coal is next, and diamond tools via villager trading will nearly finish it completely off. (I'll still have to go down there if I want the aesthetically pleasing diamond block)
Once you've finally finished this massive generator of everything generate-able, then what? Some friends of mine see this game as little more than building specific things and completing the Nether and the End(assuming their attention span last long enough to make it there). So, what is it that you plan to do once you have everything? When mining is no longer something you do?
I also must ask why you didn't just build it on the surface? Surely you're not going to be making buildings several hundred blocks tall?

I can feel the frustration within your typed words when you reference your friends. My server is even worse, they're lucky if they even make it far enough to craft themselves a full iron suit of armor. That's just what happens when you invite your IRL friends to play with you. They're almost certainly not going to be as determined as you. I'm with you on that.
The answer is, this project is nowhere near the end. Remember, I'm completing a machine of a structure that isn't supposed to be just massive and fun to explore, but an efficient monster of an item producer. Producing every conceivable renewable item and block, and that, clearly, comes with the intent to use them. To mass produce blocks in order to build entire nations and universes. Those are the next steps. I'm currently interested in replicas of the world/nation maps of my favorite games and books. Starting with Kanto, from Pokemon.
I didn't just build it on the surface because I wanted all that extra room, I didn't want any vertical space within the jurisdiction of the building that I don't control, I want to be able to tear a hole through the bedrock and into the void if I need to, and raiding this place by digging under it and up would most likely land you inside the place without tripping any defenses. Only having to work about boundaries in which people would enter horizontally makes the job of defense much easier.
