Considering I really only build stuff under water, I think oceans are fantastic as-is. I also understand that hardly anyone else will share my sentiments.
Alright so here are some photos of my underwater city. Enjoy!
Some shots from above the surface. It looks cool at night, with all the water glowing from the lights.
Now for the inside tour! Here are the main doors.
Main storage/chest area.
Bedroom!
Main storage/chest area, looking the other direction.
The conservatory.
Nether portal room.
My library, enchantments there in the center.
Main rail station for my city. Up the stairs goes to the main spawn and everyone else's buildings. (Multiplayer server with a few friends, all structures are completely legit.) Rail to the left goes to the other sections of my city, it's getting too big to walk everywhere.
The farm.
Breeding pens: cows/mooshrooms, chickens, pigs, and sheep with every wool dye.
I've got some seriously epic stuff planned for the future, so maybe I'll post new pictures as I finish more sections.
Hey there, nice guide. I do have a few questions for you.
In Marfagame's thread, he mentions not being able to have doors to houses facing each other within 5 blocks space. However, you don't mention that in your thread. It seems in post #25 that there are a bunch of doors facing each other within 5 blocks, although I can't really tell which way those doors are facing from just that image. Could you clarify a bit on this point?
There was also mention (don't remember which thread) that using water as the top layer would actually make that count as the outside of the house - meaning you could build houses underground if there was a pool of water up on the surface. Have you tested or verified this? The reason I'm asking is that everything I've built thus far is underwater, and my next underwater building will be a village. The large structure will be glass, with the actual villager houses being made of stone or dirt or whatever. There is usually a layer or two of water between the glass structure and the surface of the lake. I'm wondering if this is going to work at all. I'll give it a shot and report back here, but maybe you had some thoughts on this as well.

Yes I know building everything underwater isn't easy, but it looks awesome, and I'll be prepared for when the sea level rises.
