Video of one of the Penny Arcade community's servers!
By now the Cult of Rapture server has made its rounds on the internet and gotten all of the attention it well and truly deserved. However, back when I first set the minecraft server up, most of us hadn't caught wind of it yet, so we set about making Rapture on our own.
We were not trying to precisely duplicate Rapture. Given that the build server regularly hosts 30+ people, trying to precisely recreate a game that some might not have played didn't seem like a worthwhile endeavor. What we did, instead, was try and retain the flavor of Rapture, while still enjoying the process of making our own original creations. Obviously, this means we have structures that did not exist in the game - such as our giant Surface Recreation Dome, which is one of the main hubs of the city. With that said, we're still tremendously proud of our accomplishments so far, so we put this video together to celebrate our current progress.
I just want to emphasize that all of the construction on the map is done by hand. Nothing was editor'd in. Admins and mods on the main build server do spawn blocks for people when needed, but only for things that can't otherwise by regularly attained such as ice blocks or lava. If they want any gold, diamond, rock, whatever, that is regularly available in the map, it's up to the player to get it.
For the record, these two videos only walk through about 2/3rds of what we've built down here. :P There's some places I totally forgot to wander through, like Siren Alley. Maybe we'll do a second run-through in few weeks.

This glorious device propels animals at a ludicrous speed. Powered by 73 TNT that are dropped inside a single water trench. A whole mess of redstone connects every racks.
Also the very first step of my space program, still have to hear from pig tho. Watch his launch full-screen and at max resolution, the night is too dark.
Since you all asked for it, see the self-launch here :

This is a tutorial to my previous video. This machine uses water currents to collect and drown mobs, before transporting their items to a collection bay.
This version is not 100% the same as the previous one, I have updated it to kill spider mobs, but forgot to mention it in the video :(
Enjoy and thanks to the people who subscribed waiting for this vid!
So I was in a live stream for minecraft, and just as he was finishing up, possibly the best thing that could have happened happened. Yes, the music was part of the stream, I did not add it in.
