The Maze

So I finally had a rather neat idea for something to build in Minecraft.  Sure, I've had ideas of stuff to build before — such as the underwater house that John and I constructed one evening — but I wanted to make something for him that was rather unique.  And, admittedly, something that would freak him the hell out. 

Cutscene to…THE MAZE. 



I honestly don't know how many blocks long it is.  Basically, I just cleared land until my diamond shovel broke and then I made a square.  From that, I created one path through it (not straight of course), which would serve as the ONLY solution to the maze.  From that, I created MANY different diverging paths from that one solution, all of which are dead ends. 

I had two setbacks in the form of Creepers.  Two of the little bastards got the jump on me while I was laying my sandstone and blew big holes in it.  That sucked. 



But, finally, it was done.  The interesting part was that the last thing I finished was the ceiling.  Which means that I have no idea what kind of creatures managed to fall inside its walls before I sealed it up.  Not to mention how many other nasty things have spawned in the dark hallways AFTER I sealed it up. 



Obviously, I did my job very well.  It only took John about a minute and 45 seconds to utterly freak out and just exit the game.    



I think next time, I'll create a smaller maze without zombies…but with TRAPS.
