Monster Condo Exterior

This is the exterior of the Monster Condo. It's designed to look like a giant mob spawner of all types.



art design and construction: catdarrow
materials: lotharbot, catdarrow, and a little help from d3jake, rickkent, and pretty much everyone else on the server at one time or another

Leviathan

Location: x = -2300, z = -1058. Approximately 2 km north of TomCat Ranch.

Can be reached via: rail from TomCat Ranch basement. Or, from the ranch portal, go up the hill through the gap in the fence, and follow the stone pathway. Be prepared to swim when exiting the far portal.

Builders: lotharbot, catdarrow

Leviathan is an underwater base. The terrain is an ocean biome. This is an ideal location for exploring new biomes and structures from the 1.8 update, with nearby abandoned mineshafts, ravines, and even an NPC village.


Over a dozen trees fill the arboretum. These are available to harvest, but please replant any trees you use.


A full-featured workshop and storage area. Note the entrance to the arboretum, on the left between the boxes.


Melons and wheat grow in the hanging gardens.


Several sets of guest quarters allow for an unparalleled view of the ocean floor. Here, squid swim past the arboretum.

Monster Condo

A cross-sectional view

location: centered at x= -608 z= -1108. Accessible only underground via TomCat Ranch.

This is an efficient monster killer and loot generator.


There are 28 levels, each shaped like this construction shot. Enemies spawn in the flat areas, wander into the water, and get pushed down the holes into small glass chambers...


... where they are killed, sometimes by the fall, and other times by the lava. All of the loot is pushed to the center of the room by water currents.


This is what it looks like if the center of the tower is invisible. The redstone torches provide an eerie glow on each level (viewable from the central glass-enclosed ladder).

Procellarum Base

Location: in the nether, east of the Ranch portal (follow the walkway)

Builder: lotharbot


The campsite. The box is full of grilled fish, pork, eggs, and bread. Missing: beer.


An all-natural mushroom farm. Well, as natural as mushrooms get in the nether.


Some shots for scale. This is a very large cavern.
