Minecraft

So in the last year, my friends and I have REALLY gotten into minecraft. In September of '11 we figured out how to set up a server and play together. It's a private server and it's insane. When we first started, we spawned as a group in the mountains. And instead of building shelter and playing the normal 'survival mode' we went out to find a village to take over. after hours of searching and getting attacked by creatures, we stumbled past our spawn point and find a village in the desert right near where we started off. So we make our way to the village and exile the npc's. We choose our homes and start farming, leaving the more advanced stuff for later. Overnight, creatures spawned (and note, they only spawn and walk where there is weak light) in the town and destroyed most of it. Daytime comes, and we walk out into what we dubbed as "Detroit 1.4". What made it worse, was some enemies were still left, despite the sun being out. There is one type of creature called a 'creeper'- they explode if you come too close to them. the explosion kills any player close enough and blows up the ground beneath it. We isolate the creepers and start making weapons to kill them. But at some point one of us got too close to a creeper and it blew up. This happened until they all were gone, but as was our town. it was absolutely wrecked lol. First mission after that was to fence in our village, and make sure everything is properly lighted. Each person did their own part here. Stawicki and Dale lit the town while I made the fence. While they ran around placing torches and glowstones in every possible place, I harvested cacti... yes, cacti... and made a full fence for he whole area out of cactus. Once the town was safe, we started stuff like customizing our houses, filling in craters, having fun (such as Brandon's famous "LET'S BOW UP A MOUNTAIN" idea that made the server crash that one night. Pics of that are on Facebok...). Fast forward to January of this year. Dale and I were getting tired of our town looking like crap, so we took a night and fixed the whole place up in 'creative mode' where we had infinite resources. So basically, we now do our stupid stuff, but the difference is, our town doesn't look like a war zone anymore. Pics below  of the not-ghetto town. Sorry, I don't have pics from before :(

This... is our chicken cannon :D

When we first found the town, Dale went AFK for awhile. So to freak him out when he came back, Stawicki and I entombed him in stone. Ironically, He came back soon, only to find his character was starving to death. By the time we came back to the town, Dale had died and respawned. So we made a sign to post on here in his memory XD

Trust me... DO NOT go in that shed... It's just a ladder down to a cave full of creepers.... :P
