I second what MacIronhawk said.

Oh, and I've also been having fun with pistons today on vanilla SSP. Lo and behold, the semi-automatic sugar cane farm:

Spoiler for images:

^Good job with the semi-automatic sugar cane farm! I have a non automatic sugar cane farm which can produce about 100 every harvest but hand picking them can be a pain at times. I have it set up so that I could use pistons if I wanted. Maybe i'll do that later on.

Does anyone know where I could find cacti fast, within five minecraft days of traveling, if that's even possible? You see, my first world starts off in a winter biome, so the first map that I have is kind of surrounded by no deserts. If I wanted to go out searching for a desert, what might be my best bet at finding one? Just walk and get lucky?

An easy way of finding cactus would be to make a compass and start walking in a random direction until you find a desert biome. From there just look for cactus sitting around and break it and take it with you. When your done you just take the compass out and go back to your spawn. If that doesn't work you could always use an inventory editor....

I'll go with the compass plan. While inventory editors and mods can be fun, this first world I'm doing I want to be completely my own. Everything I've built was scavaged from the ground. So far, only about 42 Diamonds but I do have 130 obsidian that I'm collecting for an obsidian only tower.

Hey, I say we starting posting pictures of our houses and worlds. I'm put some up tomorrow. My buildings are small but I'm making a highway of paths to all the edges of the world. In other words, i'm moving very slowly along my world.

I'll try to get some photos of my world up tomorrow as well. Also my next building plan is to build an airfield with planes ( non-flyable ). Whenever Singleplayer Commands gets updated I'll start working on it.
