Working on the rest of the Figaro continent. The forest to the south is growing nicely; I was surprised to see how fast the trees grow once they've been planted. I've also been working on filling in the watery sections. Water physics in Minecraft are pretty strange. Filling in a single block with a bucket of water is enough to make most of the lower and surrounding blocks get flooded as well. It makes it pretty quick to fill the water in, though sometimes there's a few spots here and there that are hard to level out.

The cave is set up on the surface, though I still need to build the rest of the mountain behind it (I'm just waiting until I find enough granite; I want to use granite for all of the mountains because it's the best match to the correct color). At some point, I'm going to go down into that cave and build not only the entire cavern itself, but also the path to the submerged Figaro castle, and even the underground palace where you find Odin. But that's a long-term goal, so I don't think I'll be getting to it anytime soon (unless I get bored with the world map and decide to change gears for a bit).
