Notes:

My guides are setup like old Lego instruction booklets; picture intense/text lacking. Just remember you're building from the ground up, each step is a layer to go onto the previous layer.

Any stone block can be replaced with blocks of your choice.

Mycelium is used in this build for the added visual affect and can also be replaced.

Glowstone can be replaced with torches, but the single torch cannot be replaced with Glowstone.

Any glass seen in pictures indicates space that must remain open.

White Wool indicates ground level. (You won't need it)

Light sources are mandatory unless you like surprise mob visits; its going to be a very tight space in and out, any mob would be impossible to avoid in there, and creepers will make the pages fly.

This build will be 5W X 7L x 7H. (5x5x3 below ground / 5x5x4 Above)

You will need (Only mandatory items listed)

1 Torch

4 Glowstone (or 4 more torches)

5 Ladders

73 Bookshelves

Pick Your Ground

Firstly dig a space 7 blocks long, 5 wide, and 3 layers deep.

For my build I dug 4 layers deep and replaced it with Mycelium because the block color and the particle affect add to the feel of the area.

(Picture shows the ground you will start to build on)

If your playing survival, make sure you plant a very large amount of reeds/bamboo before taking on this build.

How to Build a Fully-Automated Melon Farm « Minecraft

Firstly, let me say a few quick things: Once built, this is a lazy (one button) way to harvest melons, but this is going to be a complex and lengthy build. This is a skeletal build, so covering things like the wiring is at your own discretion. Some materials can be replaced by the blocks of your choice, but not the glass blocks. For this tutorial, I use stone brick, but you can use any block of your choice to replace it other than glass, sand or gravel. Preparation 1: Gather Materials Going back for more stuff during a build is a pain, so before you start this build, you’re going to need

Circulating Storage « Minecraft

I started working on an idea for a circulating storage system that would be hidden within a house or other buildings to reduce the buildup of chests within the main room they are used in. Unfortunately I'm finding it very difficult to achieve; since chests cannot be moved by pistons, and carts with chests tend to merge together if too many are on the same track. So I'm posting what I've tried so far in hopes someone will come up with a way to complete it. These pictures are of the most successful setup so far, but it only works with 2 chests :( The basic idea here is: instead of walking up

Christmas Lighting! And a Random Traffic Light « Minecraft

Since I'm still fairly new to minecraft (3-4 months), I'm finding redstone devices frustrating, finicky, and addictive! I've made a few defense machines and machines to make MC life easier, but these were just for plain fun.
