I spawned in a lightly forested area with many hills nearby. I saw a nearby village. I quickly picked a nearby hill and built a small hobbit hole inside, then raided the nearby village for wheat to make into bread so I had something to eat. After that, I set to work on surviving the night, harvest more wood, and building some animal pens. After I had done some extensive mining, I decided to turn the hole that I lived in, into a house.
After much digging and stone harvesting, I finally had this:
A beautiful stone brick house!
Before I had even finished the exterior of the house, I created some animal pens:
The chickens are basically escape artists (keeping them in the pens is very difficult!). The cows are ninjas. Every so often, I catch a cow wandering around my house. I've even watched a cow glide through the fence that I set up to keep them contained in the pen...
Lately, my house got the addition of a contraption that creates smooth stone, as well as some minecart tracks that don't go anywhere particularly useful (well, one heads to the nearby abandoned village).
One of the things that I enjoy about Minecraft is the ability to imagine something, and then build it! There's something enjoyable about creating something. I'm not a particularly creative person, so my designs tend to be a bit on the functional side, although I'm loving the spiral staircase I built (feels like climbing up a castle staircase).
So, a question for all of you Mormon Geeks fans (I know you exist!): what would you like to see me build in Minecraft? (A list of possible building materials can be found here). Here's how this will work: leave a comment to this post. Over the next few days I'll review the suggestions and select one or more of them to build. So, start suggesting away!
I love seeing Minecraft creations!
ReplyDeleteOK, I would love to see a 3D picture. One, where you could walk on top of the various layers(probably glass), but once you get to the top and look down, it's a complete picture.
ReplyDeleteAdding a whole new layer of complex would be one where every layer is clear to begin with, but if you activate a button, it builds the picture. Not sure all of the details, but pistons, among other things , could be used to automate the process. Here's a video I found that shows some things that they can do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=7028DSk9-5g&NR=1
