Dear Neotetro,

Here is a couple shots I took of my friend's server. Its a survival map at the base of the map (I think we set it at 7 height). I thought up the idea, and he used commands to make the hole and then seal the top (I know you guys are against the use of that kind of thing, promise I wont use it lol). The Void Fog makes the map really cool, at 7, its like grey and things vanish at like 6 blocks away, at 3 height, its pitch black and its down to 3 blocks away. The first 4 photos are shots of the city I made by hand to be a safe haven from the monsters, and also the entrance to the RedStone ruins where if you collect the 3 torches you open the pistons (made the door myself, which is the next 3 and the ones with the redstone in it lol). It's not quite done, still need 2 more dungeons for the other 2 torches, but I'm playing off the "its dark and spooky silent hill thriller thing". The last few photos are inside the 1st dungeon where you have to jump in almost pure darkness
. If you want more, I'll take some more (btw I made this fake FB because I'm very bad and uploading photos so i hope this works) and I guess more about me, I love minecraft, but I need to get better at it. Where I struggle is visualizing big projects, but when it comes to interior design, traps, hiding redstone (and I consider myself an novice redstone-r at best), and finding fun and awesome ways to hide secrets and bases, I will blow your socks off! Thanks!
