I go mining on SMP1 quite a bit. I especially like the center outpost because most biomes are easily accessible not to far from spawn. Within 100 blocks of the protected area you can mine sand, stone, go fishing, and grow trees and such. Unfortunately, after a while, the areas around spawn start to look pretty bad. They are riddled with creeper holes, mine shafts, giant holes in the ground, and such. Today I decided to take some time and make the waste look a little better. I didn't want anyone else to fall into any holes, and I didn't want it to look terrible either. I spent about 30 minutes of my own time, and about 1K and made it look much better. Here are some before and after pics: (The full album can be viewed here: http://imgur.com/a/C0Xpp) Before: After:
