I've been playing the snapshots and it's lapis.

It takes up to 3 to do anything. And once you have a Fortune III pick, it explodes. You can literally get a 1/2 a stack from one block.

Well, it's good it's super cheap and that they're apparently upping the drop per ore broken. Because I sure as hell wouldn't want to spend more than 3 per enchant/repair... that will add up in a ding dang hurry.
Since it's supposed to be cheaper on levels, it makes sense. Diamond isn't "really" renewable either, and there's not too many complaints about it, so it's not necessarily a bad thing to have a limiter on enchants.
That being said, I have lapis like crazy. I don't think I have over a stack of blocks yet, but I'm getting there.

That's true, and usually why I make new shovels instead of repairing the old ones.
This is why I make stone shovels. They're like matchsticks. Quick enough, use 'em up, throw 'em away.

I tried that. With as much sand as I've dug, I spent more time making shovels than digging.
My first death while nether tunneling tonight. 
I fell into a giant lava pit. I made it out, but the fire killed me. Lost all my armor, my sword, bow, and a good chunk of the stone I was gonna use.
I do have a safe tunnel to the mesa biome though. I was just trying to lay a stone floor and fell through. It's actually going through Cranky Wizards portal room, hopefully he doesn't mind. Just keep going past @Eriol's place on the rail away from the spawn portal and you'll see it. I put a stop in.

Thanks. I just put a hole in one of his walls, and made is so the minecart now stops in front of his branch. Also, not far down the path is a nether fort, if he wants to have his way with it. You can tell where it is by the sudden nether brick walls.
FYI, it won't push empty cars on it. That would have been way too much powered rail... Aussie must have finished it up for me. I got most of the way, but hit a wall as it was 2am and had to call it a night.
The reason I went that way is I'd like to eventually loop it around to the mushroom isle portal. Now that'll be a project.[DOUBLEPOST=1393591890,1393591817][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, if anyone still need set up with a portal say so. We can get you set up too.

Just a warning to all that the blaze grinder will probably stop working in 1.8, as the release notes say blazes will be able to shoot through solid blocks.
Also see-through packs will stop working, as it will only render as transparent those blocks which are transparent.

I can find out if he finished it. I have no clue other than he must have run into some mobs since I kept hearing him cursing under his breath about blowing up.
On another note, this morning our son told me @GasBandit needs to change his name to GhastBandit. Seems he remembers some of your names on the server from peeking over Aussie's shoulder while he's playing.

I'm sure it was. We were out there together just before I called it a night. He took the dangerous route to start. That might have been why he was cursing.
You will be able to in 1.8.
I thought they were adding support for it, but not actually enabling it?
Ah, wait. That's in the 1.7.x patch.
Also, the blaze grinder may still work if they just shoot at players, but the bolts don't go through the blocks. If that's the case, it might just have to be rebuilt without glass. Iron bars, maybe? Dunno what would be durable enough but still see-through.

Iron bars would probably work. Hell, fenceposts might work too, they seem to trump everything else when used in the regular world. Zombies don't know that a gate is a gate.
Tectonicus is still being difficult, and keeps giving me an out of bounds java error. Here a static map to check out while I work on it. Some pretty big changes happening. Map 2-27-14
Your ship is pretty sweet too. You got that up quick. I wish I had time tonight to go poking around.
Ya, that blockade runner is quite impressive.
I'm also quite impressed/horrified by how much land some people have fenced or walled off, occasionally with extremely thick walls. That itself is something.
It's weird to have my most recent project deliberately near-invisible. I like seeing it on there, but then there's the feeling of "but nobody else really sees it." Kinda melancholy.

You built underground behind two camoflaged doors.
