Ok tried this...
dig, dig, dig...one block at a time, torches, torches, dig, dig, lava....ohshitohshitohshitohshit...die
Solo is probably not a good idea!
It is but I'm saving it...I over estimated the glass blocks I needed and I haven't been that clumsy!
I think I'll run with a minimalist theme inside with different areas defined with different floor stones
Once I've illuminated the inside to stop internal mob spawns, I'm torn between planning the farm and visiting the Nether world
If you turn mobs on will the f7 function be disabled? Given the hours I've put in creating this space I'd rather finish making it safe!
Also, you mention about the three of us having a massive advantage...I didn't appreciate that this was a competitive game?
I've finished clearing out the 3 block high area through the mountain and started installing the glass panes.....but I have to say that the panes are not as clear as I wanted over a large area....the coloured lines obscure the view. I can understand that in glass blocks but I thought panes would be clear, the purpose of window panes being to see through
This may entail a rethink...on a footbal field sized scale!
Somewhere communal I guess?
or if you don't need more than 3 blocks high, you can have an indoor one at mine...you'd never fire an arrow from one end to the other!
I've found a house on the top of a hill that's just a small cabin and has stunning sunsets....but, now I've worked out glass blocks/panes, I'm dropping a shaft down through a trapdoor to different levels to rooms with glass walls to see the views. ..hopefully!
