Beta 1.6!!!

Wooo Beta 1.6 is here!

Unfortunately for me my main map is a old pre-Beta map so no long grass for me :(
...Unless I install the wild grass mod.. :)

Who else has 1.6? tell me about your experiences with hatches and maps!!!

Trees!!

Hey guys I found the weirdest thing today! I updated my map of my.. map and found this! a small Island which was previously devoid of trees suddenly springs up 3 full sized ones and two saplings! BTW this map is an early Alpha map waaayyy before the introduction of new varieties of trees, weird huh!

Found this too! and boy has it given me some ideas

Hi guys just thought I'd update with something a little off-topic I found whilst trawling around the MC forums today.

It's a hilarious web-comic.. well I think it's funny so see for yourself ant tell me what you think!

Diamonds!

 Well for the past few MC days I've been strip mining deep underground in diamond territory and boy did it pay off!

Oh, and some gold...

Progress

Here's another shot of the restoration work I've been doing to my castle, recently I've been jumping between my two worlds working on my castle and then the ruins. I also have plans to build a netherrack shrine to my portal, or maybe even relocate it entirely...

More shots of those awesome cliffs! Plus one of the first shots I took inside the cavern, I think the way in which fog stands out in darkness in caves looks really artistic and dramatic, haven't done much work on the relics/ruins but soon I'll have a bit more spare time to work on them
