I made it in the cave when I saw a waterfall next to some lava.
This was my starting shelter.
Munching on a carrot, surveying the area, decided this looked like a good spot to setup a house around due to the resources available.
Say, that's a nice view!
It never rains, but it pours. This is the site I chose.
Outline of the house sorted and doors placed.
Starting to resemble a castle....
First floor and roof sorted.
Found some pets to make the place feel like home.
The vegetable plot
Outer shell complete and can rest easy in my house.
So those direct captures from my PS4 are the progress from me living in the side of a hill to building something a little more homely.
I haven't decorated much inside short of having my bedroom with my chest of goodies (diamonds, emeralds, weapons, etc in there, the middle floor is lifeless at the moment, but will probably become either a library with an enchanting table in it (that may be developed in the basement when I create it) and the ground floor is currently where I have my furnace and various chests containing food items/building materials.
My farm is growing carrots, potatoes/ pumpkins and watermelons and I need to add chickens to my farm.
On the whole I'm happy with the progress so far, my house also has room on the opposite side to expand out to another wing if I need it ( I certainly have plenty of cobblestone in my mining HQ to expand it a lot more, and I want to pretty it up outside once I get to the nether and get some glowstone.
So come on peeps let's see what you've been upto.
