I tried to make a modern house. It's still a wip, so i'll post pics when i'm done. It's mainly comprised of a shit ton of glass walling with sandstone lining, with wood interior.
I try to stick with normal difficulty, but it's near impossible even with beds to make a house like this with mobs. I'll be turning it to normal as soon as i get my nether portals situated.
Has anyone else noticed the terrain generation is alot... more alpha-esque again since 1.4? Ever since the update every new area i've explored is like, "holy shit alpha nostalgia" terrain.
