Things have been busy in Minecraft since I last posted.  I’ve been tooling around with random updates, upgrades, and additions to my main castle, Cair Denbar.

It started out after Christmas just looking around for little things to work on, and I just ended up going from one project to the next in quick succession.  Here’s a list of the projects I can remember from the madness:

• Removed silly security doors throughout the complex
• Updated all directional signage (intersections, stairwells)
• Built a new addition for the Royal Academy and re-configured its old space back into First Hall
• Moved the Halls of Healing to West End, and re-purposed old space as the Music Hall once again
• Updated Throne Room interior using walls to give more depth & detail
• Updated wall along Second Hall to be thinner using walls
• Raised the ceiling in Royal Library (been putting this one off for ages, involved moving fireworks & redstone)
• Added new West Stairs & Balcony to replace cramped West Tower Stairwell
• Updated The Grotto (hadn’t been touched since it was built 8 years ago, added a large stained-glass window)
• Converted Royal Pools to East Spring (was bad location for pools)
• Moved the Royal Dungeon to West End
• Replaced old dungeon with Royal Baths

After that laundry list of minor projects, I got carried away updating the exterior of the whole place. I added some minor tweaks to the Great Hall and liked it so much, I went a little crazy.

Overall, I think the exterior looks ALOT better now!!!
