Minecraft

I recently purchased the game (which I believe to be the crowning achievement for word-of-mouth advertising and indie games) and have begun a map using the seed "gargamel", which a friend recommended for its sheer awesomeness. He did not lie. I have built an entire underground system with about 4 mining projects, a 30-plot wheat farm, and a mountaintop castle complete with a tower to fire arrows from and 3-block high ramparts surrounding it. Not bad for my first day of playing. :P

(P.S.: Gargamel is a landscape with a lot of huge mountains and deep caves throughout. I spawned in what was essentially a hollow mountain with a two block entrance. It was so big, the game glitched and grew grass on the dirt inside of the cave.)

I didn't have any sort of seed to start my first world on because I want the first one to be completely legit.

I have a fully functioning semi-automatic wheat farm and a regular sugar cane farm. The only time I'll ever need it is for sugar and for making bookcases, so I didn't make it too big but once I have the wheat farm full it should be able to produce 128, which would make me very happy.

Has anyone attempted a cobblestone generator? I tried one with pistons today but once I realized pistons can't destroy cobblestone blocks(or any blocks for that matter) I decided to scratch it and make a semi-automatic one. Is there really a mod out there where it can destroy cobblestone so you can make a fully automatic generator?

P.S. How exactly do you make automatic generators? The best I've been able to do is a one way switch and pressure plate doors. How do you make something full automatic?(running all the time)

I'm not too upset about the pistons not breaking blocks but the whole idea behind it was to make it look like this big looking machine that produces its own materials.

Redstone Elevator which almost reaches the clouds. I'm leaving room for an area which I'll call the Boss Suit. Maybe it's cheesy sounding but it will serve as a tower that oversees the rest of the redstone powered machines.(and non-redstone-powered "machines")

The first working machine is an infinite cobblestone machine. If pistons could destroy other blocks, then I could make a completely automatic one but unfortunately Notch didn't make it that way.

I wish he would make pistons with the ability to destroy other blocks, providing they're made with Obsidian push plates rather than wood. That'd be cool.

There are several mods that add Obsidian pressure plates. Also you can make stone pressure plates if you have smooth stone.
