So finally I have found some Mooshrooms in Minecraft, they are on a pointed mountain island at the top edge of the map (I’m playing on xbox so it has a finite world). They are cows with mushrooms growing on them and if you milk them you get mushroom soup – I only had buckets […]
I found clay in Minecraft which is very exciting as I didn’t know it existed! I am playing the game a bit ad hoc – as in I haven’t memorised large parts of the wiki like my hubby or hung out in creative like my daughter. Though it was my 7 yr old who informed […]
For the last few days I have been knitting a creeper (one of the agressive modes or monsters in Minecraft). It’s just my own pattern I have worked out and with wool my friend has bought me – it is to be a largish cuddly for my little girl for her birthday in August. She […]
Whilst investigating stuff to do with 3D printing I came across Printcarft on Thingyverse. The idea is that you can log in to their server and build something in a specific area that they can then turn into a file for 3D printers which can then print you your building! I am so excited about […]
As I mentioned in an earlier post I went a wondering into the islands out the front of my house in Minecraft and promptly got completely and utterly lost.

I am planning on building a giant stepped pyramid reaching up all the way to the top of the world in Minecraft – not decided on the exact style and dimensions yet and am just going to continue to expand my current house. I do know it is going to be more in the inca/mesoamerican […]
After building a dirt land bridge over to the island infront of my house in Mincraft I went on a little explore and got completely and utterly lost and had a mini adventure but more on that later! What I found in the island arc was some sugar cain plants – these are pale green […]
I decided to make an arboretum so I dug a huge pit and expanded out onto the water and had to build a dam and stuff. I used a spade and harvested/mined lots of sand which I popped in the furnace, this turns it into glass which I wanted for the ceiling. I built the […]
In my third week of Minecraft I managed to dye wool red and yellow and collect black, dark grey, white and light grey which I used to carpet the bedroom, and make paintings for the wall. I made the red and yellow dyes from the flowers and placed it on the sheep which I then […]
