Most people when they get a chunk of land with water tend to build over it or around it, or groan at their misfortune, I learned you can just build under it.

 This was the start of my underwater area ment to house my sheep, that building was meant to house, white , black and grey sheep but eventually due to despawns housed only white and the greys and blacks were moved elsewhere.

 I have friends who like diamonds so the diamond level was already dug out to a large extent, that being said I had to dig out from under the ocean all the way down to the other level, the finished product without the buildings in it was impressive, it took me roughly a month to dig it all out, mainly because I am a casual player and have work.

There was a stair well leading down from the island village ( a later blog) into this area , but  I tended to jump down from a bridge crossing the ocean, into our uunderwater base which had a ladder coming directly down to the building area and not just the path.

 I started with the storage building which is the small obsidian and oak building on the upper right hand side, so I could bring down and store the supplies, afterwords I made the wheat building, the one you can barely see on the lower right hand side.

 Now because I had a lot of stone from digging this out I cooked it and used it to make this building, I know its a rather wierd looking building for sheep, but I wanted it to be unique so I made it in this style, the hardest thing was measuring the roof so it looked decent , the first time I did it the angle was too steep and the building looked odd.

  This building was ment to carry 50 sheep, but instead ended up with only 20 inside of it, because of the frequent despawns in our area. The same reason my horse pens have reduced numbers of horses in them.

 Sadly during the wipe on this server, this was wiped in hopes I could get some terrain to build on and not need to worry about the despawns. Now instead of ocean it is a mountain range,   there is some foundations for some buildings in a valley in the mountain range , above where this used to be, those are housign a friends animal pens, they are just foundations right now though.
