I joined into the world later after hosting a server for beta 1.6.6 to see he have build something next to my house that looks like an empty pirate ship house.
Tell me what you guys would have done if your friend did this to your world :)
The starter house is finally done but the grind was a total mess lol. I was halfway through finishing the roof when I ran completely out of both cobblestone and wood, so I had to drop everything and run straight back into the mines for resources. Since my chests were basically empty, I also had to track down sand for the glass windows just to wrap it up :) Let me know what you think of how this custom wood and cobblestone combo looks compared to Stampy’s classic style!
I am starting a solo-inspired project on Java Beta 1.6.6 using the original Stampy Longnose world seed. I am not copying his exact buildings. Instead, I am using the seed to create my own original builds.
Right now, I have a tree farm set up outside my house to gather wood. I am looking for a partner or two who want to hang out, chop trees, and help me build this world from scratch.
If you miss old-school Minecraft and want to join me, send me a private message (DM) and we can figure out how to connect!
Wow! Thanks everyone for making this one of the best posts today! 1,400 views is insane!

I finally got sick of looking at my ugly base, so I’m building a massive red wool cube completely over it to hide it.
The interior layout is a total mix of stone, wood, and a full obsidian floor. Because this is Beta 1.6.6, there are absolutely zero enchantments. Mining that obsidian floor at base speed took a brutal 15 seconds per block, and my base itself isn't even made out of it.
The wool cube was an even worse nightmare. Shears aren't in the game yet, so I had to manually punch individual sheep to death just to get 15 stacks of wool. Since breeding doesn't exist and wool doesn't regrow, I had to sprint thousands of blocks out into the overworld constantly hunting new sheep and foraging for single roses just to keep the wool dyed red.
For the lighting, I hung the glowstone from the very top of the cube so it shines all the way down onto the main base inside. Misplacing even one block meant shattering it and wasting dust, especially since Silk Touch isn't a thing until Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4.
I wanted to share the actual gameplay plan for this world. Playing on pure Beta 1.6.6 completely changes how you have to build. Since there is no sprinting or food stacking, just clearing land for the automated tree farm was a massive project.
Right next to the farm, I am digging the foundations for the Hidden House of Gold. The name is a tribute to the golden era and Stampy's house, but the actual architecture is going to be my own unique design. Instead of copying him block-for-block, I am letting the natural hill formations of this 1.6.6 seed inspire my custom buildings.
I am committing to a full 50-day survival grind before I even think about adding mini-games. What classic building blocks should I mix with the old cobblestone texture for the house?
