concerning that minecraft post, you are going to need to harvest a whole ton of leaves if you want it to look like a real tree, i would suggest that you plant a forest and turn it into a dead forest. build a castle in the middle, make it creepy, sounds totally awesome. this is actually an awesome idea, i am totally doing this on my server.
Here’s the thing. If I designed it to look like a “real tree”, then it would just look like a giant tree fell out of World 4. That’s not the intention here. It’s suppose to look different and unnatural. That said, I might make a transversable limb or two that lead to small annexes or something.
However, I have done that dead forest idea once in a desert on a server that’s no longer active. Made a flooded forest too, which I’ll probably do again when I find a good place for it. The idea being the appearance of damaged or otherwise transitioning biomes.
But by all means, when the tools are in your hands build what your heart desires!
Okay, so I had some ponies expressing interest in this post I made earlier today about something I made in Minecraft. I asked the server admin, and she said if you wanted to join the server, you’re welcome to send her a message!
Oh okay then... Good night Lyra. Pleasant dreams.
Good night, Strawberry. Sleep well.
I’m pretty good. Getting ready for bed, though.
Ya had sex with the bear tonight, didn't ya?

While that happens to be none of your business…
So... Y'er a biped too, I hear?
Occasionally, if it’s convenient. But I have to use magic to stabilize myself.
This Lyra can walk on two hooves unaided.
I'm implying that young foals are impressionable, and that bears have poor table manners. I'm further implying that the mixture of those two facts will lead to disaster.

Boscov is an absolute gentlepony-… uh… Bear. His manners are better than mine!
You are ill-informed of a situation that doesn’t involve you in the slightest. Good day.

It’s fun to pretend.
You're having Sweetie eat dinner with a bear? She might start to imitate it, and then her table manners will be ruined FOREVER! Please reconsider what you're doing, Lyra.

What exactly are you implying?

After Mister Bruce Wayne was kind enough to donate a metric ton of money, I had all the windows replaced with reinforced, enchanted, impact-proof glass.
Have fun trying to break it. I’m going to call the guard.
Hey Lyra, how have things been going? c:
Great! Thanks for asking!
How are you Fluttershy? I don’t suppose we talk all that often.
*slaps flank* Nice and plump~

Thanks. I try to do some exercises every now and again.
By the way, I got home like ten minutes ago. Gonna have to be faster than that if you’re going to attempt to sexually assault somepony.
And get your nose broken.
O~h! Mister Krinkle! Of course! Sorry about that. Not that I ever understood what was being said in that song.
Primus’ got some good stuff! (That doesn’t involve cursing)
Why isn't Boscov walking you home? Doesn't he care if you get mugged or something?

No offense to Boscov, but if something manages to take me out, there’s not a whole lot he’d be able to do.
I’m not the helpless filly from years past. I wouldn’t be around if I still was.
Ma, don't you recognize me, your own daughter?! Wait, you're a unicorn! I apologize miss, it's just your green, and I tend to mistake ponies very easily.

It’s alright. Though you might not want to try telling all that to Granny Smith.
