I recommend going 96 blocks up in the air. Why? Simple. You won’t have to deal with slabbing, lighting or flooding the surrounding area for 96 blocks in every direction from the farm’s edges to control the entity count. You should also build this farm 1024 overworld blocks away from any other portal. Unless you understand the mechanics of making a perfect portal match/link. That is beyond the scope of this tutorial. Google it. Point being, don’t build this farm next to your base’s main nether portal. The next time you come through it from the nether, you might wind up inside your gold farm with an army of angry piggies.
Mom Plays Minecraft!
“Wait you’re a mom? That’s so weird!!”
“Yeah! Moms don’t play minecraft!!”
I cannot count the number of times that has been said to me. Guess what? Moms do in fact play minecraft. And I for one, enjoy it. In fact I make time in my day just to play it! After the chores are done, the kids have eaten, are napping and I have gotten something for myself to eat, I play minecraft. My life as a mom always comes first, but I love to relax by playing this game.
Survival with more Style
Here we go out to the wild to Minecraft! Woot woot! And what does everyone’s house look like at first?
Heck, we’re grateful it’s not dirt and has windows right? But it’s still the box of mass wood box-iness. Every time I make something that turns into a box or plain rectangle, I kinda die a little inside. This is easily fixed though! We have options š
Minecraft Pixel Art
Hello once again, it’s been a while! Nothing crazy for this first post in a long time, I’ll just be covering some aspects of pixel art in Minecraft and a few programs that make building said pixel art easier. Along with most of my posts on here, this isn’t likely to be full of hidden trade secrets only available RIGHT HERE, but there’s probably at least a few things to learn from skimming the article!
If you’re looking for a way to make art without filling up yourĀ residenceĀ inĀ one build, check out ItsMeMatheus’ map art blog post here for another interestingĀ method of Minecraft art!
Just a quick note however, while I’m sure most people are quite aware of what pixel art is, there’s still probably a few different types that might be confusing (fancy 3D stuff as an example.) For the purposes of this article, I’ll be talking about straight up 2D 1 block=1 pixel type art!
Fun Minecraft Challenges
Sandbox games offer players the tools and let them create their own fun. Each player can create their own entertainment using the tools provided however they see fit. When people see Minecraft, some create complex redstone creations, some recreate scale models of cities, and others find their enjoyment through more modest means. Sometimes though, it can feel like you have run out of Minecraft challenges and that all of the tools have been exhausted. In times like this, it is best to use a little creativity and make some new, fairly useless but fun, Minecraft challenges. With this in mind, letās take a look at some ways to keep Minecraft challenging and fun.
