For the first time ever, I've finally used up a diamond pickaxe in my Alpha SSP. I've always either lost it through dying or made a new world. This is a great day for me because I'm over my fear of wasting items for the most part.

Back in the day, I was so perfectionist that I would constanly start over if anything went wrong even in the slightest. The older I've gotten, the more I accept that failure isn't always the worst and sometimes losing things helps you find others.

Despite that, I'll still be using stone pickaxes in the nether because netherrack will chew through even my 2 stacks of iron block supply in minutes.

Hello there, I have killed the dragon in Minecraft on my current world, only took...100+ days because I was busy doing other things on the world.

Some images of the Tower, don't want to spoil what's at the top in case someone wants to explore it.

It reaches the height limit which always puts the modern game into perspective. Might dig out a chunk (16 x 16 to bedrock) but I have done that before so it is a waste of time and exhausing to do. At this point, I'm going to just work on improving my building and redstone skills since those were a few reasons for going back.

Tower of the Sky is almost done. Just need to add a bit more glass and a chest on top. Will post pictures tomorrow. Found another dozen diamonds or so in my wanderings, have far too much iron, got a bit of gold, and still no luck on music discs.

At this point, I might make a giant arena made of obsidian and hope for the best by luring skeletons and creepers around. Should I use a guide or think it might be a waste? I could just keep caving until I find more dungeons, but I'm getting exhausted blndly going around.

Hello all, I have decided that being a member was too much for me, it came with too many responsibilities and extra buttons. Sorry to have let you all down but I have retired from being a Member and returned to being a Retired Moderator.

I hope everyone had fun with the little april fool's joke organised by the mod team however. It was certainly strange seeing some of the mods with the member blue for their name instead of the colours I've become so used to over the many years I've been on the site.

Quick, while we're Site Mods, make all teen skins legal

Hi PMC, hope you're having a great weekend!

After a roller coaster ride of locating, merging, migrating and auditing massive amounts of data (nearly a billion records), I'm back on crossing off front-end features until remaining tasks are down to launch preparation. The bulk of the work is done, last 10% requires pushing through and eventually leaving some ideas for post launch.

Just going to drop several work in progress screenshots from various analytics sub-pages and let them do the talking:
