Latest Minecraft Project





I must say, school is tough, but has given me a chance to work on an amazing minecraft project. I have a new world with the coming out of the halloween update, and have made it my own.

I dont have any pics of my castle for you, but here is my latest conquest, a giant underground cavern I carved out of solid stone. to those of you familiar with monecraft, you know there would be caves to help this project along. the only ones I found, however, were 1 vertical shaft all of 4x5 blocks, and a horizontal tunnel resting right at the top of my excavation area. Nothing really helpful.

It started as a general idea to make a cavern full of collumns, but not a really huge one. I made a bridge from my castle to a likely looking bluff, and started digging a stair way. when I figured out how far I would need to dig, i made it 4 blocks wide to accomidate a minecart system with stairs on the side. has a booster cart to push you up, and a ramp to let gravity take you down. the original room was made 2x3 collumns, with 4 spaces between the width, and 3 from the length (as viewed from the entry stairs). I know plan for it to be 10x10 collumns, based on a suggestion my sister made to make it look infinite when you first step out. looks amazing.

Minecraft!!!

minecraft alpha base world 1

see that? Thats my base. Its a sprawling connected set of mountaintops in a range I dub the HOLLOWED MOUNTAINS!

These babies were totally randomly generated right next to my spawn point, and now I live on them.

minecraft base aquaducts w 1

I have a set of 2 Aqueducts that I use to transport between mountain tops, but i also made a dirt bridge that i *might* turn into wood. who knows?

Oh Man

Things have been very hectic recently. mom went in the hospital for a few days, but is out, turns out to be something she can handle. Dad had a tendon come detached, and went through surgery to reattach it. He has been home ever since. He goes to get the dressing off soon.
I got a job cooking. It pays well, and I really needed one. i have my eye on a beautiful gaming comp. It will cost me $2,000.00, but its just what I want. im designing and sewing a few new items to sell on etsy. Will post link soon! Sorry to cut this so short, but I must run! youth group tonite!

Snow Snow Snow.

And more snow. And wind! Cant forget the wind! All of that together is giving me a moderately bad day. I got stuck in the driveway trying to get to school today. Its so cold, and with this crazy wind, I couldn't feel my fingers after 1 minute of shoveling out. 1 minute. Yeah.

Been having fun on Garry's Mod recently. Got the advanced duplicator and made some rocking fireworks bundles. I also found that a couple of my online friends have it too, so I have been playing with them. Played with Lapizzia yesterday, and we made this awesome NPC fight arena. I got a T-Rex to fight all sorts of things, and its tons of fun. It was quite funny how Rexy hated Lapizzia so much. The button to open the door was to close to his pen, so when Lapizzia pressed the button to open the door, rexy would just chomp him. Very, very lulz.

I have also been attempting to get some of my new NPC packs to work, but no luck yet. I just need to find the right folder to put them in...

Dad got us a new Dance mat for Christmas. I asked for one, and he said he would look. He came back a few days later and said the only ones they had were bundled with a dance game. The only DDR game we dont have for the 360 is Universe 2. I told him that and he promised to look. Christmas Day: I get a box that looks suspiciously like a packaged Dance Mat. I open it, and it is! Only one problem: Its the High School Musical 3 Dance Game and mat. Haha dad, very funny.

If you want to play Garry's Mod with me, my Steam name is sleepingdragon80. Send me an invite!

Off to find some more fun things to do!

Gah...

Well, crazy time has finally allowed me to post something for you all who were wondering if I was dead or not. Here I am! And with a minor update to boot!
Christmas Vacation is over today, but a last-minute sickness has kept me from joining the normal business of earning my diploma.
Christmas was great, got some useful things like a new controller for the Xbox 360 and a new Mp3 player. Its a touchscreen, and can take pictures and stuff.
Spent the New Years Day Festivities time at a cousins house, and had a rocking time!
Speedy got me Garry's Mod for Christmas, after I sent him a sweet handmade quilt and a copy of Orange Bow for the 360.
Attended a Christian 3-day conference this last week as well and had an amazing time! Probably one of the best few days I have spent this vacation!
Finals are coming, and it looks like I must study.
Untill Next Time!
