Wow, I was gone for a while, obviously way too long, and my beloved Jungle Island which took a month of non-stop building, was deleted. It's been several months, and I finally realized I'd have to start over. Thanks to the generosity and encouragement of so many of you in the last few days, I've been able to make a great restart!

Thanks so much to: Snoopytoy, Laini, Brandon (John), and I think ToastyRogue (not sure--he went by Toast in game.), for doing so much to help me get going again!


Here's a few pictures of two days of labor...I've got the Grecian house outlined, and the river bed which has to be dug out, but at least I've got the line of the river. Lots more Jungle trees to go! (The birch trees are just for building the house and will be replaced with more jungle trees or oak.) Hopefully a pond and a corner of a mountain with a waterfall like before. Last but not least will be a lot of terraforming! The top island is 99x99 but I have a home base below this where all my survival stuff is.

Thanks for all your help!

Ps. I forgot to mention I'm a mom of five grown kids, and all my family play MC. Several have had islands here including my husband. We've been playing as a family for 8 yrs now. Love Skyblock! It's the best. Hey Purplevillager1! Miss you.

You are the absolute best Snoopy! You've done so much to help me.. not the least of which is keeping it from getting BORING. I enjoy hanging out with you. Thanks to you, we have quite a few Jungle trees too. Your hard work is very much appreciated!

 

Getting the river filled in! Half-way.. or more there.

 

Hey that's KhalDrogo !

Wow, fast worker I see.

 

Drogo rides horse, not mechanical contraption!

 

You have rails on your Island! And don't tell me it's an "Iron Horse" because I could say a bike is also called "steel horse" (or in Germany "wire donkey")
