MC Day 10867: Have finally got round to adding a proper "top" to my glass tower I built at my first base around 3 years ago. It features a daylight sensor controlled lava flow system which cascades down the inside of the tower at night and lights the column. Which is kinda ironic now it looks like a large match!

I built a Creeper only farm in my survival world then made a tutorial. It is resdtone free and easy to build.

MC Day 10855: Having discovered a netherrack surrounded blaze spawner near my first base, I decided to build my 2nd Blaze Farm using NimsTUTs design (I have a 3rd older one built to MumboJumbo's design also but its not as effiecient). However this time, as its my first Blaze Spawner built with the new max cramming rule, I expanded the kill area to a 13x1 long row, so the Blazes now drop down and spread out along the space. This also means each of the 13 squares now has a piston crusher connected to the timer. I had to drop the kill chamber down a few blocks and move the piston operated drop chute lock to the front to accomodate the extra redstone, but I can get around 100-120 Blaze in the chamber quite comfortably.

Don't wanna aggro this dude ...

Quote from Mr_N_Derman»
Very clever, I had not considered that arrangement before, although I could not have used that design solely as mine is 19x19 so I would have had to have glass for the middle 9 doors if I understand correctly what you've said.

What have I been doing...
LOTS... Started a base above a ocean monument, building a guardian farm without removing the ocean!
Spiral Ramps, and tower going up to build limit with a Iron farm Sphere at the top, gold and mob farm to be built in middle.
Also doing public works on the server I play on in the form of 4,000 block long roads, with statues.
Then generated a slanted torus (ring) around the tower.. That is it is sloped without regard to any X,Y,Z axis
I have been videoing how-to videos some of the more complex parts of my builds, (including Creative World edit and Survival Build results) on You Tube... https://www.youtube.com/c/antofthy
What is next... Well I am now laying out my next build, just under the surface of the ocean around the tower. The result will be 400 blocks diameter, and while flat, it will still need a calculated 10.5 Double chests of sandstone. It is so big will only be properly visible in the Servers Dynamap
Stay Tuned!

Have you ever tried an underwater base? Well, for the past few months I've been working on one, and I finished it yesterday. Because of how redstone-oriented it is, working with it was frustrating because the water would destroy my setups time and time again! That frustration was ultimately worth it though, as I'm satisfied with the end result.

Finally got round to adding my giant Enderman holding the End Portal i mined out some months back. After collecting plenty of black wool, and mapping the enderman skin out, i was thorougly annoyed to discover the enderman was an even number of pixels (and therefore blocks) wide, whilst the portal frame is an odd number, so i could'nt place the Enderman evenly around the portal. In the end i reduced the Enderman width by 1 block in the middle, so he could be placed evenly. Doesnt like too bad, although the width reduction has made the eyes closer together. Not sure about the lighting tho, dont know whether to add more light or leave him in the darkness as he is, so his outline is partially hidden...

I've recently been working on the look of my survival world for the past 5 years, so I built a nice ship next to my dome so the sea isnt that empty.
Here are some pictures:

The quadruple ravine I found turned out to be a quintuple ravine, which I've only found once before and is the most intersecting ravines I've ever found (the first time was in one of my modded worlds), and it was nearly a septuple ravine system as there was a double ravine coming within 5 blocks of it.
Not only that, they all intersected a huge cave system of the likes that I've only seen once before in this world, about three years ago, the big cave that I've mentioned before; combined with the ravines the amount of open space is amazing. There were two abandoned mineshafts as well:

I have been playing several of your maps lately, and they are some of the best quality maps I've ever played. The amount of detail, the well-done areas, and the both entertaining and raging gameplay add up to some of the best series of ctm maps. Keep up the great work!

I may have had a worse portal location.
There were no nether fortresses around for about 300 blocks either.

Well, I finally have a time for a new and bigger update in my world, so I will start where I left off. After my short exploration and cliff-diving trip, I went into the nether and scouted out the nearest nether fortress. I dug a tunnel to it, so now my nether hub and a fortress are connected. My tunnel's descent goes straight into a blaze spawner, and so I thought it would be perfect to lay the first step in making a blaze XP farm. I needed to obstruct the spawner with a 9x9x3 solid cube. I brought along two fire resistance potions, which is equal to 16 minutes of fire resistance. By the way, I was able to knock a ghast's fireball back to it. I got the achievement.
-
-
I think return to sender is by far the most fun achievement to try and get. I began obstructing the blaze spawner. The blazes must have known what I was doing, because they were spawning like crazy and they were angry. Thank goodness I brought my shield. I think shields were some of the best additions to the game.
-
-
-
-
Finally! That was a bit tedious. But those blazes got wrecked by my amazing bow skills.
-
-
I also enchanted another pick. And I got the same. Exact. Enchantment. As my last two pick enchants. Oh well. It is a good enchantment.
-
-
I went with my horse in the nether to test some tunnels, and horses don't do well in nether portals. My horse lost 8 hearts.
I fed him lots of wheat.

It was time to make animal pens. I made 4 of them with cobblestone walls next to my crop farm. These farms are temporary. The pens are for Cows, Sheep, Pigs, and Rabbits. The chickens will be processed in another facility.
-
-
I then dug a hole in the ground where I will put my chicken area. One processor will produce eggs while the other will produce meat.
-
-
-
Egg farm done!
I made just a simple wall design for the other side.
-
-
Come! To your new home where about 50 of you will occupy the same block!
-
-
-
The finished product! I will have to keep adding chickens so the production rates are higher.

One of my favorite pastimes is night hunting with my awesome bow:
-
-
For some reason I love this area. It is right behind my house and it would be so much fun to build on:
-
-
It was time for an afk fish farm. I wanted to use a new design that uses mending on the fishing rod. Since you gain xp from fishing, the rod will never run out. Usually, it will stay at max durability. I went to the local village and traded with the villager with an epic mending trade.
-
-
I quickly did the redstone part, and it works well.
-
-
I then decided to build a little house around it. I am experimenting with house designs and I wanted this one to be a light-colored/birch house.
-

Well, that's it for now, folks! I am almost up to date in my world now. Another update coming soon. I can't always play very often in my minecraft world. I am very busy IRL and only have a few hours a day to be on. Most of it is spent on other things though.
Well, I hope you all enjoyed reading today's update.

Well, I'm back. I should have done this update weeks ago. All this I am posting now literally happened 3-4 weeks ago. But anyways, this is kinda a smaller update in my world. So I decided to do another short strip mining trip. I mined out only three 100 block long tunnels. I mined all the ore with silk touch, and I decided to pile up what I got.
-
-
I used my fortune pick to mine it all, and I put it in my main mining chest. Since I am still basically a noob (Advanced noob), I and very proud of my resource chest. It is the most I have gathered in a survival world and in a short amount of time. It may not seem like much to most people, but to me it is.
-
-
My diamond supply is running real low. I will need to do another big mining trip to get at least 3 stacks of diamonds.
I decided to do some exploring. I headed up the coast of the nearby ocean in the direction of the jungle. I soon stumbled upon this.
-
The temple didn't have very good loot, and I kept going. I soon stumbled upon some awesome mountains.
-
-
It would be cool to build maybe a giant fortress on that with a cliffside fishing village or something like that.
Now this is a view and a half.

Much larger update coming soon!

Well, minecraft finally works for me again, since I upgraded to Windows 10 It would never even launch. I ended up downgrading back to windows 7.
Oh well.
Today I decided to start mapping my world. I crafted some maps and walked around the area, filling out the maps. I now have a 9x9 map display at default map zoom.
I decided it was time for a small exploration trip to find some cool places and possibly some structures. I set off and began working my way through the jungle. Man, they can be hard to maneuver at times when you don't have ender pearls or an elytra.
Before I knew it, I came to a fairly large village just outside the jungle.
Some cool scenery.
The village:
I went around checking out some of the villagers' trades. My jaw dropped when I came upon a librarian with an EXCELLENT trade.
I made sure to lock him up for when I make a trading hall in the future.
Mending for 16 emeralds! A really good trade.
|
He should be safe in there.
I continued looking at trades around the village, and I checked another librarian. I gasped in amazement when I saw his enchantment book trade.
MENDING FOR 14 EMERALDS.
I locked this guy up nice and secure. He is going to come in handy in the near future. Has anyone found a better mending trade? Because this is the lowest I have seen and heard of.
While I was traveling back home, I jumped down a small ledge (5 blocks) and took some fall damage, no big deal, right? Well, when I did, I was suddenly catapulted 8-10 blocks horizontally a few blocks above the ground. I don't know If it was a cool feature where you can jump far after taking damage, a cool bug, or a skeleton shooting me from behind. I was sprinting, which might have played a part in it.
Anyways, today was a pretty good, yet short, playing session.

Oh, just put them on item frames.

Celebrate by throwing all your diamonds into lavaJk, please don't do that.2
Well, new update, I have been making progress on my slime farm, and I killed my first enderman. I am gonna go to the end once I have enough ender pearls for the portal. I am not specifically hunting for endermen, I just kill them as they come by. I mined out quite a bit in the slime farm, so here are some pics:
Here is a view of my base from the slime farm:
I decided to enchant a new pick, and I was happy to get prime enchantments on a silk touch pick.
I will keep updating as I go.

When I was a stupid noob 4 years ago, I would delete my world if I did the following: Die, Drop a pickaxe into lava, See a monster chasing me, get lost and lose my 2x3 wood hut, or not being able to find coal. I also had an extreme case of "Scarcity Mentality" In which I thought it was so hard to get things that would actually be really easy to get. Diamonds were only dreams for me. I am definitely out of this by now, 4 years is a lot.
