A Minecraft Blog about the Empire and Minecraft
The Empire Minecraft Outpost Tour series is written by me, JDHallows, a staff member on Empire Minecraft. I travel out to different outposts throughout the frontier on EMC. While there, I take notes and pictures of these unique players outposts and try to create an informative tour of each one. This tour is based on The Estonan Federation, an outpost founded by 4 players: devon699, wildbeast23, onetoad, and siniypiva. This tour explores The Federation’s remarkable town and castle.
In the last article of the series we covered the Minecraft 1.11.2 Launcher and profiles. Now it’s time to talk about Java.
The problem with the launcher is that it comes bundled with a two-year-old, 32-bit version of Java that can cause all sorts of weirdness and problems! The biggest of these is that it probably doesn’t use as much of your computer’s RAM as possible, so even though you can run Minecraft decently, it doesn’t always work as efficiently and smoothly as it could. In addition, a number of mods only list the latest Java version as compatible. This article will teach you how to install the correct or updated Java version and enable Minecraft to utilize it.
The minecraft combat update is just about the scariest update yet. Between hordes of skeletal steeds, enemies flying at you from above, and even beetroot soup (good luck living through that one—blech!), you’ll need all the training you can get to survive. Ready? Well, then, let’s go prepare for Minecraft 1.9: The Combat Update.
In December 2013, a member of Empire Minecraft by the name of _Stads_ had the novel idea to create a Christmas song and have all of the Empire Minecraft staff provide the voices. The staff didn’t have the best vocals, but they tried their best. Multiple recordings were sent in and combined over the course of a month to create a pretty neat song parody, just in time for Christmas. While the vocal track to the Christmas song no longer exists, we wanted to spotlight the lyrics for our Christmas Eve blog post as a throwback special to 2013.
So grab the nearest hairbrush, remote control, or other microphone substitute and sing this Christmas song at the top of your lungs. If you have an ear for music, maybe you could even make your own video using this song, or maybe try making your own Empire Minecraft Christmas song parody. If you do, comment below so we can see it!
