Okay, so, Griffin pushed me into the vortex, and now I am playing Minecraft. I don't have my own server, because techno-babble nauseates me. So I'm just building my own masterpiece on Singleplayer mode. So far, I have died like six times, but I think I've got the hang of this now. Anyway, seeing as I just started playing, I haven't accomplished much. Plus, I have a job, so I tend to forget everything that I want to do before I even get to carry it out. SO HERE'S A CHECKLIST!!! I will update this with PICTUUUUUUURES of my progress. Okay list time. - Castle in the Sky -- It will be above water so that I will not die when I fall off of it (and you know I will).
- Expand All Farms -- I should probably just make one giant farm and just, like, separate the different parts with walls. This will take much time, though.
- Mob Grinder Deluxe -- I had an idea earlier today while I was at work, and I'm really excited to set it up. The plan is to basically build lots and lots of irrigation-ditches that all the mobs will fall into, after which they will be carried to the Murder Room. . . where I will proceed to murder them. lol
That's all I can think of right now, but I will add more later. So there. |

Cool! I built a castle in the sky once on an old server. It wasn't above water either. I never died, but my friend who played with me did....a lot.

Well, it took like a week in Minecraft time, but I finally built a workable mob grinder. It's still pretty small, but...well, I just made it. lol. This thing will be huge when I'm done with it, because I want to cover as much surface area as possible so as to catch as many mobs as possible. Welcome to my lovely Murder Room. ;D  Yes, that is a crafting table on the floor. It actually makes for a nice floor design!  |

I like the Welcome! part of the sign. Makes it feel so much less about murder. lol And the roof is 2 blocks tall....I hate roofs only 2 blocks tall.... And you should probably eat something. |

PROGRESS PICTURES TIME!! So, it took way too long, but I've finally started building my sky castle. I call it Skastle D'Fromage. (Skastle of Cheese)  From outside. It was nighttime.  Through the first door, which is located at the top of the staircase.  Through the second gate, which actually doesn't have a door. It's just decorative.  Aand, here's the "ground floor" room. My bed is behind the lamps. I want to add lots of helpful things to this floor. |

More screenshots, yaaaay! Let us take a tour. A journey, if you will. I have sign to point us the way. TO THE SKASTLE!       By the way, if you ignore the sign from earlier, the one that called you a belch, do not fret, for you shall soon stumble upon the Skastle, regardless of that sign's insults.   So. Remember what I showed you last time? Yeah. That wasn't the actual castle itself. That was just the ground floor, which is there for convenience. It just so happens that the second floor is barely attached to the top of the first floor, but I'm too lazy to go back and take another screenshot to show you, so I'll save that for next week. loil    ^ That is what you see when you walk through the front door. There are two rooms to go into from this hallway, but I haven't started decorating the second one, so I'll just show you the door on the left!   MY DEN  Brick + Obsidian + Netherrack + Fire = Fireplace And yes, that is my escape hatch. It goes straight down, but there are vines attached to the side of the shaft, so you don't die. I use it when I'm too lazy to go through two doors. lol  Turns out, crafting tables make excellent flooring. It looks like a pretty rug or something.  If you walk out the front door, that is what you will see. A sign. A lonely sign gazing out over the beautiful landscape. I wish my computer could render more distance. loil  Okay, so this is the room I showed you last time. To your left you will notice the bottom of the escape hatch. This is the place to which it leads. I like greenery.  THIS IS MY FIRST HOME ON THIS PARTICULAR ISLAND. I BUILT IT INTO THE SIDE OF A LARGE HILL THAT HAD QUITE A DROPOFF AT THE END. IT WAS LIKE, SOME SORT OF NATURAL OVERHANGING...THING. My sugar cane garden can be clearly seen here. It is to the right. I used it for a purpose.  This was my first front door. I added trapdoors to the front because zombies kept showing up and being noisy. This was my view from inside:   That is a side view of the mountain-overhang-thingy that I showed you a couple pictures ago. Let's walk toward it...  Oh? Is this a cave I see?  Why yes! It is a--HOLY CARP WHY THERE IS NETHER PORTAL UNDER MY HOUSE?? Yeah. I built that in a cave, but I didn't realize that it was directly under my house until I walked through a hallway at night and heard really creepy noises. loil. Oh well. Good thing I'm moving to the Skastle.  This is my favorite landmark. I took two very similar screenshots.  This is what you see if you walk through the giant hole:  I wonder what that sign says...  ...oh. Yeah, I enjoy placing signs everywhere. EVERYWHERE. They're quite spread out, but if you have the privilege of exploring my world, you'll find these things in the oddest of places. And what they say is generally never helpful.  Oh look. Another one... |

I went mining recently.  I also built a skybridge that extends from my castle, all the way to my first home, which happens to be very close to my spawn point.  LAND HO!  I was very excited when I found my old spawn point, because now, no matter where I respawn, I will always be able to find my home. Plus, I'm thinking I might turn the bridge into the Main Street of Ember City, which could be a sky-city. IT'S PERFECT Okay, so, back home, in the Skastle, I hatched four chicks at once.  They later walked into my fireplace and died... This chicken died too...  ...for obvious reasons. Later, I found the perfect place to build my latest project...THE MATRIX  I named it the Matrix because it just sounds cool. lol  I didn't know stairs were supposed to do that...lol GUESS WHAT    I FOUND A STRONGHOLD    AND AN ABANDONED MINESHAFT  CONNECTED TO A DUNGEON  I turned one of the spawners into a grinder. Now I have all the string. All. The. String. Anyway, I went back home and found this.  So much temptation.  So much. Later, I went outside and found a new friend.  He's dead now.  I saw that spider, and I was all like, "GET OFF MY LAWN!" And then I killed it. A lot. LOOK AT MY MUSHROOM  It's beautiful, right? Know what else is beautiful? This guy.  He teleported into my castle. So I stalked him.    And then I killed him. The rest of these screenshots are from today. I UPDATED THE LOOK OF SKASTLE D'FROMAGE    IT'S SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL  The mobs thought so too. In fact...  They passed right by me...  ...just so they could play in my new aquapillars.  But then one of them got stuck in a whirlypool.  Turns out, you can stand directly under the aquapillars and still breathe.  See? Epic. I can hide from mobs forever here. OKAY ONE MORE THING  I found some pumpkin seeds in the abandoned mineshaft, and I put them to good use.  Meet Harbley.  He is my long lost twin. |

On Griffin's server. . . I think it explains itself. Sometimes lag can be a good thing. ;D  This next picture is of Norwood, which is a world that I created while at my grandma's house. Sky was there too. We discussed what sorts of things we would have in our world if we had a server of our own. Because nobody likes New Pumpkin Island. lol Anyway, those are pig spawners. I was using cheats so as to have better resources so I could build faster, since everything was conceptual anyway.  This is back in Ember City, which is my first single player world. The one with the skastle. Yeah, so I'm working on a second sky bridge, and while I was doing it, I noticed that the ground looked different than usual.  You can even see the crafting table I made a month ago when I first started exploring that cave. The thing is practically endless. Okay, new picture. I decided to start exploring the world of Ember City, and I went so far east that I was off the map, and there I found this. . .  It's just pouring out of the bottom of this floating chunk of land. I love it. Now it just needs a name...  And here's another oddity I found nearby. They're like stepping stones or something.  Herobrine did it. lol  Stupid creepers. I'm on a boat. You can catch me if you fly, but you can't. . . but if they could. . . Right, so here's just another view of my skastle, which is amazing.  And just panning right to left, from the skastle to my other bases, I'm just gonna show you everything I've made so far, in this area. This is, like, my main center of activity.    OKAY SO YOU'LL NEVER GUESS THE THINGS I FOUND IN MY NEW WORLD! I made a new world. Its name is Just a Toot. It has the coolest things. Let me just show you everything I found.   IT'S A DESERT TEMPYRAMIDLE! AND LOOK AT WHAT'S BEHIND IT!!!  ...Oh, you can't tell yet? LOOK CLOSER    PYRAMID  VILLAGE  SAME PLACE!!!  Also I fell in a well. Later that night, I killed six zombies, three skeletons, and one enderman to protect the villagers. And mostly the doors. This zombie found shade, but when I got close, he thought he could survive.  Stupid zombie. The following is a picture of my inventory. This is all I got from my nightly crusade.  BOO |
