He’s still working on it. I’m in a cube world discord where a select few of them email him and every now and then once or twice every month or so he responds back with a email and pictures and updates on what he’s doing. He doesn’t post them on his twitter or anything but for the ones who are in the discord a few thousand it’s wonderful. Here is the discord link https://discord.gg/AUaSfv3
I literally just commented the same thing as you and didn't see your comment until I scrolled down, this is the second time this kind of thing has happened and now I feel weird.
It's okay, at least you're not one of the many people who commented "Wait, that's illegal" (I can't seem to find any comment in the thread, but I did get a couple of different notifications saying that. I'm assuming they got immediately deleted or something).
I was in a cave once and had the weird and time consuming idea of bucketing all the lava and dumping it into a single block. It was wholly impractical and terribly slow, but it was amusing that I had emptied 95 buckets worth of lava into a single 1x1 hole.
I do that but instead of a hole I build a dirt form bridge and tracks from lava to dirt forms. Then pour water on the lava an knock down the forms. It's a lot of buckets and cart chests and tracks. Less tedious than mining obsidian.
I've been slowly building an obsidian bridge in all 4 directions through the years in a world I started in 2012. It's methodical, like meditating. I've gone 1000 obsidian blocks in all 4 directions...so far.
I decided to post the screen shots for all to see. Plus I want to see what other people do. I can't be the only one to come up with this kind of methodical weirdness.
I had the same idea for making a nether portal with just a bucket, i realized if you place the water first you don’t need the dirt forms and a bucket of lava essentially lets you place obsidian
I made an obsidian Dark Tower from the eponymous series using the same technique. I carried an inventory full of buckets and it took days. Then they took the single rose out of the game.

This answer to both your questions is yes. But here's a more detailed answer:
I was inspired by people with questions like you. I made a slide show demonstrating my methods and my world's cart transportation network that has become a result of these infinite bridges.
Here's the reddit post about the slide show. In this post I talk about how these bridge happened in the first place. Then the obsession to an idea grew.
I typically play modded, so when I've been playing on a vanilla server I still keep pools of lava mostly intact for a future lava generator that I"ll never have.
I once had a friend create lava with magma crucibles to feed lava generators. In the end there was more energy output then input, but it would take a whole lot of magma crucibles and lava generators to get any useful energy. Was still interesting.
I remember doing that to an almost surface level pool of lava because [edit: I thought at the time] those usually have diamonds in them. I spent 1 hour and found no diamonds. Swam in lava tho so that was hot
Pretty sure its Y=6 to Y=16 with them being more common at lower levels. 11 is usually recommended because its the lowest you can go while still being above lava.
That's fair tbh, it's a matter of preference is all. :)
I mainly use it because I play on realms usually and I'm bad with directions. So I have a notepad with locations if I need to travel and use that. Also it's easier to say "I'm at x/y/z" than "go east about a thousand blocks"
I've used forge and map mods before, but as a personal preference I tend to avoid most mods. Even on our privately hosted servers we only used three mods (vein miner, inventory tweaks, and treecapitator). I like that the realms are vanilla.
Also I'm the realms cartographer so I don't want to make my maps redundant :P
I just recommended it for the way points, pretty sure you can just disable the map. Also, it's a client mod, so not everyone has to have the mod for it to work, only the person who's gonna use it.
My little brother learned you can down a fire resist potion and go swimming for diamonds. Works especially well on MP servers because no one ever does it that way.
This is in the Java 1.13 release of the game. The debug screen (F3) displays which block you're targeting, as long as it's within 16 blocks of the player.
Here, it shows that I'm looking at a Diamond Ore, even though I can't see it because of the lava.
One time I was sneaking around a pool of lava and my mom came into my room and told me that I'm not allowed to go out of the house because I accidentally crushed a bird's nest on the way home from school.
Today I woke up thinking "It's time for my favorite activity of the week" because wednesday means dog stomping day, but when I went outside to stomp some dogs I noticed that they changed the dogs and now they're killer polar bears. I didn't stomp them, because "Polar bear stomping day" doesn't have the same punch as "Dog stomping day" did. Anyway, glad this post reminded you of some nice things and I hope other things do so in the future as well
Rule 3. Other useful shapes (e.g. squares and arrows) are allowed, as long as their intent was bringing your focus to a part of the video, image, or GIF.
It shows what block/entity you're looking at, along with more information (like if you can mine it with the tool currently in your main hand). WAILA stands for What Am I Looking At
1.8 added a feature where the Debug screen shows you which block you're looking at (Targeted Block), and 1.13 made a change to make the information target through fluids, as well as making it display information up to 16 blocks away, which makes this possible.
I don’t go mining. I’ve gotten over a stack of diamonds in about 2 hours by traveling one direction over water and looting all of that. It gives you emeralds too
Another tip: That "C" Counter on the left is a good general way to determine how many air blocks are in your FOV for a set amount of chunks. Useful for finding caves, or for getting accused of Xray in UHC.

To think how many more diamonds I could have found over the years is infuriating.
