Bravo!! How did you ever muster up the patience to complete this? :shock:

Or find the time...

It's fun and I can listen to my favorite podcasts while I work!

Questions:
1. You can paint the blocks after they're in place? It looks like they're all the same color in a previous view.
2. Did you actually do both pits by hand? or were you somehow able to copy the one next to the other?
3. Can you set the sun/moon cycles yourself? Or are they based on real-time calendar references?

(The color really sets them off, and makes them look more 3-dimensional.)

1. Each block type has its own shape/color/texture, so you don’t paint them in the traditional sense of that word.

2. Yes. I think there are world editing tools out there that might allow you to do something like that, but I’m not familiar with them.

3. You can switch to a mode that allows you to alter the time of day or night. Otherwise, the program cycles between day and night, but a 24-hour period passes much faster in the game than in real life.

I don't think so. I've talked to my teenaged kid about how to turn it into a server, but we've never done it.

There now! You've done it again. In the first picture, all the blocks/tiles (at least on the floor) are the same color. In the third, there are distinctive colored patterns. That's why I asked earlier if you painted them somehow. So when you're getting close to done, do you replace some of them with colored ones to make the pattern?
