I cropped the map to the surroundings of the fort, upgraded to 1.8 snapshot 14w0bb and played with customized soartex fanver tex-pack.

created a 70x70 meter fort to protect the village, with mineshaft system below

have fun with dozens of villagers ready for cool trades, horses and donkeys for comfortable journeys and well filled storage with plenty of resources. maybe you find the cave with the gate to nether :)
