The key really is to get down to coordinate y:14. Diamonds only appear in chunks from 16 down, and 14 is just above where lava pools will spawn.

Wow Stephen. That is utterly amazing. I thought the mansion I built that took 5 days was good. It actually seems unworthy now that I've seen that Arena. Imma just destroy it and live in a hole in the ground now. XD

And Tom, Look for a REALLY large cave system that goes so far down you find still lava pools. Diamond is usually around lava pools.

MacIronhawk, how big is your quarry? XD


Anyways, after being dragged to Mau5ville by a friend against my will, I learned 3 things:

1: My Internet connection is terrible
2: Don't take the "subway"...
3: Watch out for Deadmau5's traps....

I thought I should go ahead and show you guys one of my past builds:

This was made on my second world, I'll show the first later as it is not ready to be seen

Go into your .saves file copy the world save and PM it to him.

I tried my hand at pixel art, and I must say, it was fun!

I think I've found a good use for me on servers. I can't build very good, but this was easy enough. :P

I myself will be starting to experiment with redstone soon. See if I'm any good at it. Lol. I'm not good at building stuff either, so we'll see.

[WitchdoctorDan]

I think I went a tad overboard...

Did all of these except the big back sprite in an hour with the help of a friend.



This one took a tad short of an hour to complete on my own. :P

Hey guys! Minecraft has now sold 3 million copies! Congrats to Notch and the rest of Mojang!

Alright, so I finally got the TMI Mod to work..... once. I logged on after I had put everything in and all, and it worked perfectly. After I closed it and came back, it wasn't working. Help?

Try pressing the O key.

[pieisbetter2]

I did, multiple times. Nothing. I think you kinda misunderstood me. Or I worded it bad. I meant after I closed MINECRAFT and came back.

Is TMI your only mod? The only conflict I know of to make TMI not work, is installing Zombes Modpack AFTER TMI. If you have Zombes modpack, make sure to install TMI 2nd. If that doesn't work, do you have modloader installed? If you don't, try installing it.

[pieisbetter2]

Right now, I only have TMI installed. But I got it to work again somehow. Hopefully it stays there. Lol.

@Dawkta: I use Winrar. Mostly because I've found that most instructions on how to install stuff use it.

something odd has happened to my minecraft and I can't get ANY mod to work for some reason guess for now I'm stuck doing everything legit which is fine on my survival world and on the multiplayer server I just joined but on my building only world it's quite annoying.. guess I'll have make a deep mineshaft to get all my supplies
