So, I finally got around to working on setting up a minecraft server, picking out mods, and getting everything working. Due to the permissions settings being mostly untested, I have yet to make it public, but so far my friends and I are building some pretty neat stuff. I'll get some pics when it goes public, but lemme give you some neat descriptions.
First thing I built was a giant windmill with blades that actually spin in a 4 frame animation. I then proceeded to build a nice park right next to it, in the area around the default spawn point that WorldGuard is protecting. My brother and I built an underwater biodome, and I gave it a fully functional vertical airlock. We then built a floating island to put his house on, where he now keeps two dogs at all times.
I am building a cemetery where all kinds of undead oddities will spawn every night (a combination of nighttime Pacific Time and nighttime in game) and that will also have a mysterious underground chamber appear underneath the chapel at the same time. The chamber is rumored to take visitors to a mysterious realm of night with scarlet stars, dead trees, and the living dead. (I'm building that deep underground, and it's going to be awesome)
Theory and I are building some other stuff. We've mostly finished a dungeon, complete with a hidden reward at the end as well as a (sorta) boss chamber. On top of that, we've built a sandstone city in the cliffs, and the closest thing I can think of to describe it is some buildings I've seen out in the Mojave Desert, specifically an architectural style based at least in part on the pueblo dwellings common in the area. Oh, and it has a giant waterfall through the middle.

This is why i'm glad i own an Xbox 360 :cheers:
Movement wise, I dont see what the problem would be. There are more than enough inputs on a controller to handle the needed functions for base gameplay. Chat would obviously be a bit annoying though.
I would like to see if to the ps3 rather than xbox. But that is because I have it and not a xbox. It would be nice to get my kids off my computers playing it.

Lighting is also getting an overhaul in 1.7. We get colored lighting now!
Thought I'd share some pics of my newest house, it's not as great as some of the things I've seen here but I still think it turned out okay. ;o
Entrance to the house, the small building has pistons in it's walls which allow it to close.
Underwater tunnel.
The entrance to the house itself.
First floor, to the left and right are my tree farm and wheat farm (both underground), behind the staircase is a small storage room.
Second floor, some kind of lounge I guess...
Bedroom.
Back of the house, to the right you can vaguely see the lighthouse which stands near my harbor, I might post some pictures of it later.
Around the house are also a few hidden doorways made with pistons, which mostly go to the minecart-track.

For anyone that is bored of MineCraft, either by the lack of content or the lack of difficulty, you should definitely try out these maps. You can just use them to get a very difficult world, or try to reach the goal of filling the Victory Monument. I've just completed the first real map, The Sea of Flame, and it really got me back into the game.
