Artsy :D

I've seen buildings, I've made buildings, I've seen other people make buildings, and I've been blown up in the buildings that other people have made. So when I got my builder's license I decided that the first thing I would make would not be a building. Instead it was 4 buildings.


I like artsy things in Minecraft. I decided that I would make a picture book of sorts by creating the same house four times, progressively older every time. I made a large flat area and named the site Sombre.

After I finished Sombre, I built a staircase out of staircases out of staircases... out of staircases... whatever. I don't know how many levels it went through. Basically I formed 1 large staircase out of 6 staircase blocks (in the same pattern that every stair block is formed by 6 1/8th blocks) and I made those large stairs into larger stairs. Following the pattern a few times, I looked at it from the side and noticed it was a Sierpinski triangle. Not exactly what I expected, but I thought it was cool.

Anyway, if anyone else has something to contribute that isn't just a giant blue-wool-and-ice building, then feel free to build around there. I can show you the place if you find me online.

Reminds me of fractals:

Its the same repeating pattern that makes up most of life. Nothing could happen without fractals. Very interesting.

Well, there are many fractal geometric formations that make up molecular and organic structures. The Sierpinski triangle is on of the most basic ones, and I was just surprised because, though I did intend to make a fractal staircase, I didn't really think it through.

Ahhh, good old Fibonacci.
