@aldersprig do you have Quark?

@maple @KitRedgrave my answer would probably just be "try me" tbh

we Finally Did The Thing

we started digging out a column of sand that was still holding back the ocean <.<

it went exactly as well as I expected! which is to say, water started pouring in, I went back up the ladder, I closed the gap, the water went away, easy-peasy 😎

anywho gonna play some minecraft until it's time to take the bread out of the oven

@aldersprig the only reason I make bridges 2 wide is so I don't have to worry quite so much about falling off

didja know you can fall off a ladder

I fell off the ladder

it almost killed me <.< might put another safety platform a third of the way up...

@aldersprig my general MO is to make bridges 3 wide only if I wanna put railings on them or they're Fancy, otherwise I make 'em 2 wide

catwalk bridges are just 1 wide 'cause they're easier to take down again

@aldersprig I mean, depends on what you mean by "should"? what do you mean by "should" >.>

@aldersprig jumping into water is Great

thing I discovered last night which is Very Convenient:

if I run out of air while on the ocean floor where I'm working, I can get back to the surface before dying! This means I don't have to watch my air, I can just swim up when I start suffocating! :D

@ink thanks 😎

lookin' forward to smelting Three Thousand Stacks of Sand into Glass, eventually

i'm also trying to decide how tall I want the dome to be

currently I've got 28 blocks to play with, which is I think more than enough? prolly gonna make the dome, like, 15 tall? could always dig it down further too once I can see what's goin on and stuff

@Wsteria I have a ladder AND a safety platform ring in case I fall off the wall on the not-ocean side, now! 👍

I wanna play more miiiiiiiiiiiinecraaaaaaaaaft

@Wsteria this is a Very Good Point

...although if I'm gonna do the central pillar thing I might's well just do A Ladder, y'know

I got plenty of wood, I can farm trees on my little island for Ever

It's gotten far enough I need a better way of climbing down and digging sand back up than just ramping the stacks of sand, lol

I'm thinking a spiral dirt stair around the central pillar and just being Really Careful not to fall off the walls?

aaa forgot to take a screenshot update before I got of!! oh wellll

Currently it's about a seven-block-in-diameter almost-complete ring, with the lowest dug-down depth I can still climb back up out from currently being 50

(The ocean floor where I'm building is at 35, I swam down to double-check)

@aldersprig aha, that's why! they weren't added until 1.13

@aldersprig better question:

are you playing the latest vanilla mc or Forge with mods
