I've gone through at least 3-4 maps since I bought
Minecraft. Figured I'd take screen shots of my current one. Keep in mind I'm not spectacular at this thing and I've not done anything fantastic like water slides or rollercoasters.
http://fantasydragon.net/scv/bs/Minecraft%20screens/MC0001.jpgA basic idea of what I've done.
http://fantasydragon.net/scv/bs/Minecraft%20screens/MC0002.jpgBamboo garden~
http://fantasydragon.net/scv/bs/Minecraft%20screens/MC0003.jpgKind of a work-in-progress bridge. I cannot go a square lower without hitting a cavern. For whatever reason my spawn point was right on top of a ton of tunnel networks that lead nowhere.
http://fantasydragon.net/scv/bs/Minecraft%20screens/MC0004.jpgMy workshop/tree house (Get it? TREE HOUSE? hukhukhuk)
http://fantasydragon.net/scv/bs/Minecraft%20screens/MC0005.jpgMy quarry! If I need cobblestone/coal/iron, I go here.
http://fantasydragon.net/scv/bs/Minecraft%20screens/MC0006.jpgKind of funny how this came to be. I was mining out a huge hill and only made it halfway through before I lost my patience.
http://fantasydragon.net/scv/bs/Minecraft%20screens/MC0007.jpgInside!
http://fantasydragon.net/scv/bs/Minecraft%20screens/MC0008.jpgTwo buildings that currently do absolutely nothing. The one on the left will soon be converted into mass storage/work shop but I gotta stop being a lazy ass and move my things from main place. The tall tower to the right was just me wanting to hit the height limit.
http://fantasydragon.net/scv/bs/Minecraft%20screens/MC0009.jpgMy very round castle/fortress. Shall we go inside?
http://fantasydragon.net/scv/bs/Minecraft%20screens/MC0010.jpgYes.
http://fantasydragon.net/scv/bs/Minecraft%20screens/MC0011.jpg Upstairs. Not really grand, just mostly empty for now. Taking a right to head to the next floor.
http://fantasydragon.net/scv/bs/Minecraft%20screens/MC0012.jpgThe roof has another building on it! And, oh hey, floating lava fountain. Mostly made that as a beacon before Notch added compasses (The little do-dad on the bottom right side of my bars down there)
http://fantasydragon.net/scv/bs/Minecraft%20screens/MC0013.jpgInside the top of the tower. BEHOLD.
http://fantasydragon.net/scv/bs/Minecraft%20screens/MC0014.jpgA better look at what I've done from a different direction. Wh, what's that down there?
http://fantasydragon.net/scv/bs/Minecraft%20screens/MC0015.jpgCactus garden!
http://fantasydragon.net/scv/bs/Minecraft%20screens/MC0016.jpgThis thing I made!
That's about it. I've got mining areas dotted all over the place for when I feel like hunting diamonds. This world is 100% legit. I do not use any sort of inventory mod on this world 'cause that's plain cheatin'. I have another world for that sorta thing.
