Hi, Everyone, A while ago, I got tired of the desert around Ampco HQ, short for Amphibian Mining Company (my main base) and decided to start terraforming it, at first it didn't work and the grass did not seem to went to go one block from the grass you see on the top right, I just tried again and it seemed to work, so I built a bridge you can see the grass start to spread very slowly, I am excited because it didn't seem to work before. Its not finished yet so if you go it maybe dangerous but, If anyone wants to look the base is at: 1866 68 -3780, There is a canal to a desert village, and another one under construction going west, I am building a village on the terraformed area, I am experimenting with semi underground homes, theirs a big dam with windows to see underwater.

When its more finished I plan on connecting it via canal and/or train to spawn though the highland village area. but that will be a long time because I'm really busy.

Happy Holidays Everyone! I logged on today 12/24/23, and was surprised that all the chest, where Christmas gift themed, red and green, is this done by Minecraft, or the admin?

Browsing to mc.sdf.org, I get SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE. Is there a problem?

Recently I decided to build a Stable near my base, I wasn't really planning on doing it but I recently found and tamed a donkey so I felt like I probably needed one.

While thinking of what blocks I should use I decided to try out using the new Mud Bricks for the bottom floor which I think turned out very nice, and also gave me an excuse to use the wheat I'd been hoarding up to now.

The entrance, I added my banners on the sides and a Sign up top, unfortunately hanging signs are shorter than the regular ones so my name woundn't fit there in full.

On the first floor I obviously ha

Recently I decided to make a pathway to my base since the entrance is on top of the roofed forest and it can sometimes be a bit difficult to get up on it.

Another reason is because the canopy has many holes in it naturally and it's easy to fall through and end up in the foresr, which can be inconvenient because the entrance is up top and there is no access from the bottom. I also added birch leaves and shroomlight lanterns to mark the path since it can be easy to get lost or turned around up there.

By the way I used a Freecam mod to get these shots, if you're interested in checking out this mod you can find it here on Curseforge.

Since my previous enchanting room was rather small I recently decided to make a brand new and bigger enchanting room. I'm using a style here which I haven't used in a long time which uses hardened clay... or I guess it's now called terracotta and logs, typically spruce and dark oak as they go well with the clay.

On each side of the room from the left to the right I have an anvil and a grindstone respectively, anvil for adding enchantments together and the grindstone for removing them.

The Enchanting table and its bookshelves are inset in the floor which isn't my original idea, it was inspired by a creator known as Dataless822 who I learned much of my Minecraft knowledge from.

I placed chiseled bookshelves on top to hold written books and book and quills, possibly also enchanted books. Most books though will be stored in the double chest in the middle, it's placed on its side so it takes up less space.

Also I did use gold blocks on the ceiling for decoration, I have so many from the

This is the area that had the destroyed house in it (see my previous post for context), which goolse, mcornick, and I cleaned up and terraformed. The area was named Dirtwall after the dirt walls that were built around the area and a small memorial was built next to the road. The house was collectively deemed unsalvageable and due to the fact it had been like that for years we decided the best course of action would be to take down the house and clean up the land. We put the materials from the house and said person's chests in chests on the sidewalk in case they come back and want them. The entire area has been flattened

The original farm as well as the stone building behind it (not shown in the picture) were preserved as they revived very little damage from the initial attacks. two of the nearby ponds have been decorated and made into zen gardens.

Also another road leading north has been built along with a bridge named the Dirtwall Memorial bridg

This is something I started a while ago but only recently Completed. A Nether tunnel sometimes also called a nether hub is a way to make traveling around the nether easier and safer. It does this by eliminating Mob Spawning by having flooring made of slabs or transparent blocks which mobs can't spawn on, and by being enclosed inside of ghast resistant materials (any block with a blast resistance 3.5 or higher). It also helps prevent getting lost in the nether by being an enclosed structure.

The entrance to the Nether: In my base my portal is underground along with various other rooms like my crafting area and brewing station. I put the portal in a small room behi

I'm not sure if this is old news but I recently noticed this house which looks to have been griefed or destroyed by someone. Does anyone know what happened here and whether or not I should be worried about it happening to my base or builds as well?

It's very simple, I have a spot to get water on the left, a garbage disposal on the right, and some chests towards the front to store things in. Everything else is just decorative. On the Shelves Starting on the left I have a Potted Bamboo, then 3 candles (uncolored). Between the two shelves there are two lanterns hanging from the ceiling, on the next shelf there are 3 candles and finally a cherry blossom Bonsai (sapling in a planter). I used Polished Diorite to make the countertop and hid glowstone underneath it (also under the carpet).

Here's a View from the other direction:

I saw the Lapis blocks idea in someone else's build a while back (like back in classic minecraft 1.7.10 and thought it looked cool so I also did it here. I might swap them out for fish tanks later.

I put two decorative pots (also put glowstone under them) on either side next

(also ft. the hot air balloon i just built)

I recently Finished building the Crafting area in my base which houses some Miscellaneous storage, the Crafting Tables, Some Regular and smelting Furnaces, item incinerator (what the Lava is for), and an enchanting station. I also created my own banner design which you can see in this picture.

Here are some Screenshots at different Angles showing off the room:

I wanted to post of pictures of the grinders on SDF-MC.

Creeper Grinder (this one may need some work, not generating as many as expected)

Guardian Grinder (This is pretty brutal. Plenty of food there but have diamond or netherite armor with mending)

Loot Chests at the Guardian Grinder

Slime Grinder

Warp Room (This is a warp room at the Guardian Grinder that has warp buttons to all grinders (Save on warp slots) ![](https://lazysoci.al/api/v3/image_

I felt that the asymmetry of the first extension (the purple part with green roof in the middle) was a bit too jarring and the support for that structure was questionable looking, so i added another section to even it all out and put an observatory dome on the top so that it didn't look too symmetrical.

I've decided to do something rather unique as far as home bases go in Minecraft and have decided to build it in a roofed forest, using the tree roof and the trunks as the main structure.

The area you see going down is to my crafting area, forge, storage area, as well as a variety of indoor farms but it's still very WIP. Interestingly the only entrances will be up on the roof (I plan to build a portion on the top like a regular house but with leaves) and through the Nether portal, which will go in the underground portion but currently isn't built yet.

I added the purple section arching over Dojo Street with a green roof on top. As an added bonus it provides rain cover for the Dojo Street Subway Station entrance below it 👍

I found this little guy lost in the Nether, not really sure how he ended up in there but since I had some fish on me I tamed him and now I have a new friend.
