A Few Chunks of Paradise

[Lew Zealand]

I'd been out of Minecraft for a while as my gameplaying is vibe-based and the MCVibes weren't hitting. But with the recent change in updating schedule, a few things were added which rekindled some interest.

Of course I didn't do any of them. That being my habitual if not preferred method of existence.

Instead I'm doing my typical things and am at the point of grabbing some Eyes of Ender and having a looksee for the a stronghold. My general checklist:

• Find 2 Iron and shear beds offa sheps
• Find a good southern exposure for slanty shader lighting
• Make pumpkin pie farm
• Find various woods to build slantyhouse
• Plunder sunken ships for treeeaaayyyyyzhuuurrreeee (I gotta be me!)

• Grab some villagers and trade for Emeralds, and those for Diamond Armor and Weapons (this time I traded Clay for my Emerald overload)
• Go to Nether for nether wart and XP and most importantly: shroomlights!

and then put off finding the stronghold as I enchant some stufs and make some potions and junk. I'm there now. The ender dragon can....... wait.





maybe until the End Update.

Oooo this is so pretty, love your work. The way you have built your roof is very cool, I've never seen that.

I've never thought of a southern aspect for slanty slider shading, now I'm going to have to try it :)

It makes me want to play Minecraft again just to find a cute little southern facing forest on the ocean and build a little pumpkin and wheat farm and cottage.

I suck at Minecraft and don't really like it anywyas but its always fascinating how much people can personalise there property. Like Gardening Spirit said it's a awesome roof you have but that farm is also great. Wish I had the creativity for this lol.

The one thing I've found to kill any interest in Minecraft is trying to build some big, elaborate thing like you'll see many youtubers do. I don't have the creativity for that stuff and I strongly prefer to do everything in survival mode because I need that constraint to feel like I'm doing something interesting. I will very rarely test an idea in Creative first but with the lack of constraints there, my brain goes completely blank with immediate access to everything. LOL everything begets nothing.

Instead build a small structure for a house. I went super small for one build, giving each thing (potions, enchanting, kitchen, storage, villagers) its own little house including the bedroom. Well a bedhouse I suppose, that part turned out the worst. But the rest worked really well, each being a tiny achievable one-room build with a (very) slightly different theme. Make each piece small and it ends up working nicely with nothing feeling overwhelming.

I can't for the life of me survive in survival mode lol. I could probably build a house and get to a decent point of progress if I really tried but I've never built a house in survival mode In my short life.
