This creeper is not going to let Darryl get out there safely. While he distracts the creeper, a third member of our team is sneaking around the outside to surprise that creeper. Sadly this creeper is not the first one to bother us here and far from the last!
The portal to the nether shouldn’t just be placed randomly. Here is an example of a (failed) attempt to make some kind of menacing or awe inspiring structure to house the nether gate. It’s out in the middle of the water and it was supposed to be looking a little like a shrine or something. […]
This is the house that my sister and I work out of in our multi-player survival world. She made the remark that cobble and smooth stone is quite dull and even with a few paintings on the wall she was quite right. So we embarked on a project to liven up the place a little […]
This is a view from the top of the beacon tower in the multi-player survival world that I’m playing with my sister. The central grassy area was manually terraformed; it used to be just sand. Nearest to us you can see a tiny wheat farm and to the right that stone structure houses the gate […]
This screenshot is taken from the top of the beacon tower looking out over Pig Field with all the torches lighting it up at night. In the center you can see the creeper face with some torches in his eyes for effect. The portal to the nether is located to the left and on the […]
Here’s the nether gate constructed out of 10 blocks of obsidian. If you look through the purple event horizon you can see a sheep who has walked back and forth through the event horizon a couple of times already. Obviously he’s trying to get to the nether where he’ll be able to collect some netherrack […]
We’re standing on the end of the pier looking out toward our beacon tower with next to it Darryl on a pillar of gravel trying to get a bird’s eye view of his construction projects. Behind me he’s in the middle of building himself a pirate ship. Off to the left you can see the […]
Here’s Darryl with his Jack Sparrow character skin, although obscured by the iron armor he is wearing at the moment. He is standing on what will one day be his glorious pirate ship. It’s in the very early stages and it will take some time because all the materials have to be gathered legitimately.
Standing on a temporary platform this gives you a nice view of the constructions that Darryl and I have put up in our multi-player world. The pier extends out into the water with an under-construction pirate ship on the end. The beacon tower extends as high as the game allows you to build. In the […]
Here is a drowning trap for mobs built on a mountain side. It’s a simple concept where a flow of water leads creepers, skeletons and zombies into a drowning trap which lets loot flow out of the bottom after they die. The difference is there are 2 of these traps in sequence for a large […]
