Maybe asks you if you know the number of a reputable psychiatrist.

It's a Java-based Infiniminer-like game.  So far you can dig around, create 4 types of blocks and just build stuff.
The block types don't do anything special, besides grass tending to spread onto sunny dirt blocks.  There's empty caves on the map, too.
I really like how smooth it runs for a Java applet, and that I don't need silly extra stuff to run it.
The future features, including multiplayer, also seem promising, such as survival mode where you have to eat and build, or fortress mode where two maps connect to each other to duke it out.

Mount that can move over lava.

Lava submarine when?

EDIT: Also not sure how weird it'd seem to ride a vaguely humanoid and clearly depressed creature like a horse.

What if he constantly mumbled about how much he liked being ridden?

You could probably build one out of pistons and slime/honey blocks. Example of an elevator: https://youtu.be/q11J9ibl7zs?t=434

Ayyy you know Mumbo Jumbo!

Yeah, figured. But when I heard "mount that could go over lava" I thought "why not mount that can go in lava?".

Well at least it's consensual.

Anyway, does anyone know of a good steampunk-ish mod for Minecraft? Meaning no crazy advanced Space Age technology, but still interesting and varied technology in the steampunk vein.

The neither portal sounds like a pretty viable way to add infinite dimensions to vanilla minecraft.

There's an April Fool's snapshot out.

Love or hate him, CaptainSparklez had a pretty genius idea for an adventure map requiring you find books to reach the next segment. You'd have to do a bit of searching to locate non-fucky worlds but I kind of love the idea.

You could do that in modded using RFTools Dimensions but vanilla has zero barriers to entry so that's a big win in my book.

Have you heard of the mod Mystcraft?

Of course.

Mystcraft is decidedly not vanilla, though. There's a big difference in having to hunt down a bunch of pages and craft a bunch of mod-specific stuff vs. writing stuff in a vanilla book and tossing it into a nether portal.

I'm on the fence as to whether a vanilla implementation should be entirely chaotic (seed based on the book's content), or if certain word structures in the book should correspond to how the dimension is structured (basically an even closer approximation of the D'ni world-building language than Mystcraft's pages).

In the end, custom dimensions is probably very slightly outside the scope of what would improve vanilla.
