Sorry, but the ENTIRE area is CLOSED due to MAJOR construction. If anyone is caught on any of the sites or floating above us you will have INSTANT KOS, not including A.R.C Base which they might have to drive a boat over us (NO LOITERING)
Thank you!


This is a topic about me (Jonnoiscooler) and Mikes Underwater Colony
Feel free to ask questions (wether they will be answered or not I don't know) We have built this entire thing, legitimately and mined the resources for the glass and stone or whatever you see. It was built by hand, we have a few secrets to how we stayed under water for such a long time but it wasn't cheating, it was just hours of being under water and slowly learning more efficient of survival. We built all of the glass tunnels and buildings by making a "mould". This would consist of building the area we wanted to be hollow with dirt and then covering it with glass, we would then mine our way into the dirt and mine it all out, leaving a glass shell for which we could do as we pleased. if any of you want to build your own under water building I advise you use these methods as it is probably the most efficient way. It would also be a good idea to start building it next to a desert. (in the ocean biome of course, we discovered, thankfully that our colony was built right next to a desert. Mining lots of dirt before you get started on a project would be advisable as you will need lots for making tunnels. We mined 1 1/2 large chest worths of dirt and that provided us enough dirt for all the buildings we created. (one at a time of course, as you get all the dirt back when you mine it out) Keep in mind, that all of the building and tunnels were planned out, it is a lot harder to make it off mind or memory, planning gives you a direct reference which makes it easier to detect mistakes and avoid making mistakes.

Pictures (I forgot to take the pictures in default screen size so I changed them into a 15 inch monitor size when I uploaded them.)

For starters, some over view shots:

***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125151622


***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125151529


Now some Shots of all of our farms:


Wheat Farm. Note: the sea provides the water for the wheat.


***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125111222


Cacti farm: for maximum area use these dimensions: 17x17x5.

An over view of the housing of the farm.
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125111433


Looking down one of the columns of cacti, the cacti grows then gets pops off because it can't grow next to blocks. The popped off block falls down into the water and gets pushed into a water channel for collection. The dimensions I gave were the dimensions to have water running all into a certain point in the middle so that there is one block where water isn't, this is where you cna make the cacti drop down into a point that you can go to for collection.
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125111408


A corner view, you can see the water I was talking about for the collection.
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125111401


Sugar Cane: Once again we used water from the roof to provide the sugar cane with moisture.


***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125111825


Mushroom farm: Really all you need is a large enough room to fit a Giant brown mushroom and Giant red mushroom so you can just bonemeal a normal one when you need mushrooms.


***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125113140

Melons; the title says it all...
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125113245The process of turning sand into glass

Pumpkins:Nothing to say here...
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125113256
Sand mine, where it starts:

The desert, void of all sand after we mined it into a pit, all the curves of existing sand is where there are lakes.
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112552

Another shot of our pit,
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112546

A ravine AnArmedManV3 (is better that all of you) (is better that all of you) (is better that all of you) (is better that all of you) (is better that all of you) fell in and died numerous times while trying to mine around it, the roof looked pretty cool so I took a picture.
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112753

AnArmedManV3 (is better that all of you) (is better that all of you) (is better that all of you) (is better that all of you) (is better that all of you) got so feed up with dying he started a brand new mine
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112809

The beginning of our Long under water track. This station makes it so minecarts don't jam up. I'll let you figure that out. (it requires a decent redstone circuitry knowledge)
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112507

Going through the long tunnel
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112438

An outside shot of the long glass tunnel. we had to make occasional pockets where we could put a redstone torch for the powered rails.
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112929

Another shot of the tunnel...
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112832

The station just outside our furnace room we put all the we mine in chest carts and pick them up here, its a lot easier and allows for more sand at one time
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112357

And finally the furnace room, we occasionally have all of the furnaces running, thats how high our glass demand is. the little tunnel on our left leads to the station we pick up our sand from.
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112349


Deep sea mine

the tunnel leading down to the outpost down there, the signs there for warning, not for show....
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125113424

The tunnel leading down...
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125113430

Getting closer....
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125113435

In the outpost looking up the tunnel.
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125113447

Now outside at the bottom of the deep sea mine, we tried to light up the floor best we could but its still hard to see with brightness on full
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125113458

Kinda hard to see but if you look closely you can see the shaft leading down.
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125113528


Hotel: This is probably the biggest thing we've made so far, you can rent rooms on the hotel, 32GN for a normal room, and 64GN for the penthouse. (It took a lot of effort to make so the prices are high)

The lobby, nice, relaxing place...
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125113205

A picture of the rules.... for all you rebels out there! lol!
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125113219

The inside of a regular room.
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112014

The Penthouse, an entire floor to yourself.
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112055

Entrance to the penthouse.
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112103

Look, Carpet!!!! which took a very, very, very long time to make
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112113

A picture of the rest of the room.
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112119

And for a Finale! A nature dome on top!
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112151

More looks at the environment....
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112157

My house... nothing exciting just thought I'd give you a look at everything.
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112255

And this is where I sleep...
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112303

LAVA!!!
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112307

Cool stairs bro...
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125112320


Boat Launch, since notch removed boats rapidly rising we had to devise our own method.

AnArmedManV3 (is better that all of you) (is better that all of you) (is better that all of you) will demonstrate.
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125113914

First place a boat in the water...
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125113927

Hit the switch and press forward at the same time, and your out, ascending to the surface
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125113947

The doors stay open after wards so you can come back in but i shut them for the sake of the demonstration.
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125113955


Nether portal... Don't know why I put this here
***ANARMEDMANV3 AND JONNOISCOOLER'S UNDER WATER COLONY*** 20120125113340


Please visit us!!! You would be amazed by how much stuff we've done!
