After spending some time exploring massive caverns beneath the earth, I decided to build a stairway as high as it could go.

Building the staircase was stressful.

I fell off several times making it, but always found my stone and steps.

Once it was as high as it would go, I made a platform with a couple of holes in it and poured lava down one and water down the other. I was hoping for some obsidian when they met at the bottom, but it was not to be.

The falls.

Still, it’s fairly successful, I think.
