We already have ladders, it's enough.

Carts can't climb ladders, AFAIK.

Also, this update has sent me fudge backflipping through the window while crying tears of joy. Hell yeah, Notch.

I prepared for an epic cave-diving journey with the best equipment I had.

Now I'm lost.

I posted signs like i always love to do.
Here is a nice panorama view of the village.


here is the legend:
Farthest left stone entrance:
- Water Spring Mine.
- Named after springs of water found inside
- Found while flattening the land. [fell inside]

Wooden Tall Building:
- The house
- Contains all the supplies
- 4 chests
- large chest is full of raw materials
- Small chest has food products
- Ore Storage has ores.
- Wardrobe contains cloth armor

Glass roofed building:
- the farm
- Tend crops
- Any seed which falls in the stream can be collected at the end of the stream. [its still inside the building]

Stone Outcroppings:
- Water Springs brought up from the underground springs.
- Supplies all the water needed for crop growing

Stone Building on the top right of the picture:
- Second farm
- Supplied by the second spring.

Behind me:
- Duh's HQ
- 1 chest, contains some of the materials duh had in her inventory at the time.
- Spacious

Following torches on the far right:
- Fork in the road
- One trail is a fail to find the shore
- The other leads to devil's hole mine
- Miner Hang out in development
- Deep
- Easy to get lost in
- Found 6 bars of gold in there
- there is also the beginning of the future mine cart railroad.

Now here is the save.

Yayyyy my turn.

*EDIT*

Just brought back in 164 coal from a short mining trip. Also, discovered a lava source within 10 blocks of the surface. It's a pretty lavafall.

*EDIT2*
Diamond, anyone?

So yeah. Ridable Minecarts.
I had a fungasm.

Broken saves though :/

There'll be a converter within a week, maximum. I think he said all he's doing is making the map chunk size bigger.

WHO CARES!
I bet you someone is going to open a themepark in multiplayer.
IT'S GOING TO BE SO FUN!

Of course, now he has to make iron more common, or allow them to be made into rods to make the tracks, otherwise it's impossible to have long tracks.

I am mainly going to use minecarts as transportation anyways.

Here yall go.

Current map of our save:


Map with overlayed locations of ore:
Black = coal, red = tin, green = gold, blue/teal = diamond.
They are show with the correct (X,Y) coordinate, you just can't tell the depth.


Another view of our world:



As far as my turn goes:
Look inside the chests in my house.
Also, if you see a random spiraling hole in the ground, it's a diamond mine.

Which means that Alenth is up next. Good luck, sir.

Whitty, why did you upload it to mediafire? Couldn't you just upload it to the site as a .zip?

It was still too big.

8mb, lol, whitty made a huge crater which i fell into.
Nice lava house.
