So my husband has started a new world up and because lots of updates have happened there is now whole new terrains to be found in the Xbox Minecraft universe. One such thing is temples 🙂 We found a desert village made of sandstone and a temple. The temple is made out of sandstone and […]
My husband found a skeleton spawner and has built a harvesting machine/mechanism. It basically works because if you put signs on the sides of a tunnel the skeletons (or any mob, villager etc…) can walk through it but the lava will not flow down through it – it is a bit of a bug/quirk which […]
Found this lovely example of Minecraft being used to teach. Children are far too young to know why the graphics of mincraft are made up of squares, they see it as just the style and do not get the reference to pixels. But pixels are still an important concept for image and game design and […]
So as a family we love scifi and fantasy and stuff and especially Dr Who, we are also obsessed with Minecraft so when Youtube suggested this video we were all giddy with delight at the concept of Dr Who Minecraft – only issue is obviously we are playing on the xbox 🙁 But I live […]

I have made a wall clock in Minecraft as I was fed up of thinking it was night but then being unable to go to sleep. I went on a mining expedition to try and find diamonds but came back with gold. The clock took four bars of gold and one pile of red stone […]
I have finally started the proper structure for the pyramid, until now I have just been flattening things and getting supplies. It is made out of glass panes and has glass blocks for steps within it. You can see their lovely spiral structure from outside what is called The Glass Tower. I also have panes […]
I keep racking up experience points and I really really really want a silk touch pick axe so I can mine things like glass and the actual red stone. For this I need an enchanting table. For an enchanting table I need obsidian, books and diamonds (I think) I have enough obsidian thanks to a […]
I made myself a tone of wooden bowls as that is what you need to milk the mooshrooms in Minecraft with in order to get the mushroom stew. I then made my way back to the mushroom island via a piece of unexplored map – I found both my villages in the trip! Once at […]
