Make two buckets and fill them both. Dig a 2x2 hole in the ground. Dump one bucket in one corner and the other bucket in the diagonally opposite corner. This will make an infinite water source.
You can pick up lava with a bucket but destroys the bucket after one use. You can block off lava however by placing any kind of block in it's way. Iron is very useful imo cause it makes awesome tools. You dig much faster and they last longer.

actually i just found out you can replace any block of lava with a normal block. the lava will just flow around it but if you do it smart you can probably completely remove it (probably except for the infinite lava sources; those that dont "flow" on the surface).
i built my own lava lamp.

Decided to build a giant cross. Why, I'm not sure since I'm an atheist. Just wanted something giant to build.

Finished the major part of my "project." I have to say I'm extremely proud of the way it turned out. I'm still working on the minor details, but the major part of it is pretty much completed. Can you guess what it is?
I'd say it took me between 12-15 hours to complete, maybe longer, I didn't really keep track. I really enjoyed working on it. I built it from the top down. I don't know if that was the most efficient way, but with my planning it was the only way it made sense to carefully construct it. Plus I had to do some major excavating to clear out the land.
It is 64 units high and 39 units wide at the bottom. There are 2 blocks positioned vertical on the center of the top, which the top one touches the exact highest point that this game will allow you to build. The bottom is at what would be considered sea level.
I had it on Peaceful so I didn't have to deal with monsters. I died 6 times from falling. I have to say I felt some anxiety and was nervous when I was working on the blocks at the extreme high levels. Every time I would fall to my death it felt like my heart would skip a beat from just the shock of falling from such a high height. I sort of have a fear of extreme heights when I feel like I'm vulnerable to falling.
My plan from here is to dig out the land around it so that it isn't so confined. I'm in the process of laying down dirt on the floor, hoping that grass will grow. I'll probably put a fountain in if I can think of a cool way to do it.
I hope you like it!!!
Day shot from one of the highest mountains in my terrain. You can see my first castle and my weak attempt at recreating the Sphinx. I forgot that sand falls to the lowest level so my plan fell through. I might still work on it, but I put it on hold when I thought about doing this:
Tried to get a shot showing how high it really is, with the clouds passing through. This particular cloud was lower than usual:
Night time shot. Was trying to wait for the cloud to pass, but it was a huge cloud:
