I finished my mob spawner. It's not the greatest thing ever, but it works occasionally. So I'm happy with that. Here are some screens of my house in progress.
The gravity trap on the mob spawner isn't exactly the prettiest addition to my new home.
Ye Olde Mob Spawning Chamber
This is the tunnel that mobs fall down
And this is the glass at the bottom that lets me see when I have loot. Even though there are two doors, I only open one when spiders don't die from the fall. They can't escape from a 1x1 square.
That's the mob spawner/gravity trap. Now here's some pictures of the rooms in my home I didn't get to show yesterday.
This is the master bedroom
That the gravity trap feeds directly into...
This is the crafting room, with six furnaces, three work benches, and four chests.
This the guest room.
Stairs to the glass room
The glass room w/ a view
And
finally, the indoor mine access.
