Something that you may enjoy: A flattening of Minecraft.

For some odd reason I was inspired to quick-draw this little thing after reading on your project.

Here's to seeing this endeavour of yours go fun and far.

In the Day 0 post you say:

Shelter Tools/Weapons Light

[…] but the second requires either fire or lava, which are both hard to find, or torches, which are made from coal.

But actually you can make torches using only wood now! Put a log in the top part of a furnace and it'll turn into Charcoal, which acts exactly the same as coal.

I like it! Keep it going, I'm interested in seeing where it goes. Is it inspired by todays XKCD comic?

Also, I, like many redditors, have a short attention span. Make sure you post the final product in case any of us trail off!

I admire your effort, though I would be tempted to use MCEdit.

How large an area are you planning to flatten?

Alternate title could be "Final stage of minecraft: Brain Death".

This is the most awesome and pointless conceptual art ever. Rock on with your bad self Mr Toad, rock on.

I am actually doing something similar to another world of mine. I am flattening an area so I can build a city, but the mountains wanted to hinder me. So far so good. I am also kinda posting updates on it as well on Tumblr. If you would like, I can link you to it.

I think I'm gonna do this for a bit too. I'm not awesome enough to blog it or play on anything but peaceful though.

Shit, I thought I was the only one to take the time to do this. I have my massive castle on the coast, and I flattened the land in front of it. I took down all of the hills and the filled in the valleys (Took weeks of on/off again work... finished yesterday surprisingly.). It sits a bit above water level, but it works. I then lit up the area, and am in the process of making it spider proof. Then I am going to build something in the middle, and turrets at the corners and connect it by a large wall for shits and giggles.

Flatten it to what altitude? I hope it's one below sea level, you'll get massive source block floods that way.

Don't do it, man! Years from now, you'll look back on this and realize "Hey, this wasn't any fun after all..."
