Disappearing Sheep

Tuesday, April 30th, 2013

I made the sheep a huge underground pen but they kept disappearing which was odd – at first I thought it was the wolf I found trapped in the rock but it wasn’t. The answer lies in the fact that I had made it such a big space – apparently they can despawn! I think […]

Minecraft Annoyance

Friday, April 26th, 2013

So I discovered that Minecraft could annoy me – my husband decided he wanted to get the PC Minecraft – this infuriated me because a) I felt we still had much scope for the XBox version especially as they have added the End. And also I wanted a dancing game for the connect – but […]

SO… I got lost.

Saturday, April 20th, 2013

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 panicked and tore about and realised it was getting dark so hurriedly chopped down some tree, sheared some sheep that happened to be around and […]

Where Once there was a Mountain

Friday, April 19th, 2013

During my explorations and farm set up I have been excavating away the hill next to my house in order to expand – The site will eventually have my stepped pyramid on it. It is not very interesting though it does yield coal and the odd bit of iron ore. I put the painting on […]

Building Plans for the Long Term

Thursday, April 18th, 2013

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 […]

Growing Sugar Cain

Wednesday, April 17th, 2013

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 […]

The Arboretum

Tuesday, April 16th, 2013

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 […]

The Bedroom of Wool

Monday, April 15th, 2013

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 […]

Mysterious Disappearing Sheep

Sunday, April 14th, 2013

Yep even with the wolf in the walls extracted my sheep are disappearing and worse than that both they and the pigs seem to be able to jump over the fences at random. First I thought it was my stone pillars so I moved them or raised them all to the ceiling incase they were […]

Minecraft Beetle Juice

Saturday, April 13th, 2013

My hubby found this video for me – I love the film Beetle Juice and well just the amount of effort they must have gone into producing this set up in Minecraft is amazing! Enjoy.
