Ever since the server went up, I've felt more inclined to play Minecraft, and be a little more creative.

Well today I decided to do a little work on my cottage (first time actually trying to make something look nice instead of having the inside be cool). And next to bookcases, the last touch was to add a nice little fireplace. So I did.

Note to self: fire inside a wood-and-wool house is STILL a bad idea.

After making the fireplace, I went downstairs to do a little move work. Suddenly, my computer's framerate dropped drastically (at work I play on my craptop). I was trying to figure out what was going on until my random mouse movements caused me to turn around.

Yeah, my house was on fire. Someone said fire was modded to not burn anything important. So basically, the fire never put itself out.

With the help of Kabob, Eggnog (?), and LoserHands (and blackhole laughing at us), and after probably fifteen or twenty minutes of me struggling to move while the rest put out the fire, it was finally finished.

I wish I had thought to take pictures of the spectacular show, but here is the result:

All my trees were mercilessly stripped of their leaves. So as of right now, I'm in the process of chopping down the naked branches and replanting, as well as getting all the water, dirt, and sand out of my house.

Rest assured, it wasn't in the city.

I should also add that after an experiment with putting glass in front of the fire, the house burst into flame once more. Fortunately I had a literal mountain of water at my disposal, so, bucketless, I set out to put it out.

And I'm still doing it.
