Top Project of the Week: Flint


Flint - Minimalist Mansion







Our first Top Project of the Week is a build by Emosnail in collaboration with StayHated which they call Flint - Minimalist Mansion. It is a modern build which is a somewhat rare build among the many Medieval projects that dominate Planet Minecraft. To give his build some life, they took photos while using the Soratex Fanver Texture Pack that's been customized and with Sonic Ether's Shaders. Let me just say that this is anything but minimalist since it is just filled with little trophies and decorations. If they wanted minimal, this was not the way to go. With that out of the way, let's see how it looks from all sides.



The outside looks like a skeletal hand, clutching at the island in which the building is resting upon. The stone gives it a nice color and adds that modern effect which is somewhat difficult to achieve given the blocks in Minecraft. As we enter the house, it's slightly cramped, but that doesn't mean that this isn't comfortable. I can see a full family of Steveo s living here. The piece de resistance is the DeadMau5 carpet in the main living area. With beacon chandeliers lighting the rooms plus the well-designed kitchen surely will set you back some gold ingots. It is well worth it in the long run and will give you bragging rights to those that are still building with wood.



Of the entire house, the best part of it has to be the bedroom. With an Iron Golem sized bed, a convenient chest, and snow tile pillows make this the best addition to any house. The sad part about this is that it is not available for download, which I think would make for a great chance to share with subscribers or those looking for a new home.

Review on Top Server of week:



JonoHigh's Molten Minecraft Creative Server







As I joined the newly re-created server, MoltenCraft 2.0, I was greeted friendly by a Moderator named Josh. I was also in an easily negotiable spawn. As I walked into the 'House of Rules,' I easily found out that PvP and Griefing wasn't allowed (unless you go into the PvP warp). This is a great Idea, seen as people do not get upset that their creation has been destroyed, and if it has, then the mods will instantly ban the griefer (if the suspect is guilty), and help build their Creation back. There is also a warp list, which I found easily as well.

How It was Created and Why;

It was created as the server's old owner, Hobiten, did not play minecraft much, and so he decided to close the server down. The Admins and Moderators where enraged. So, they created Molten Minecraft 2.0. When Hobiten does get time to play, he goes on his favorite server.




Design:


The design is based on a sky town. It is very interesting and they have thought about every house, and every block. There is also a 'warp' building where you can teleport to different areas, like PvP, Survival, Jousting, spawning and flatlands. They are adding a creative bit too, according to the server's PMC page, Please Click Here.



My Opinion:


This server is excellent! For 1, It is based in my 'homeland,' England. It literally has No lag, and I mean No lag. It is also 24/7, Which is also excellent. I feel that I might actually play on this server!

Weekly Blog Review:


Kottonkandy8o s Planet Minecraft chat adventures #2



Hello everyone. This is my first time writing for the PMC times, so it may not be great, but I hope you do enjoy reading this. Anyway, Today Io ll be reviewing Planet Minecraft chat adventures #2 by kottonkandy8. Io ll get to the review now.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Planet Minecraft chat adventures #2 is a sequel to the original blog by the same author, the blog being so popular, the general audience clamored for more. This piece, extremely similar to the prequel blog before it, is a stunning, witty, and funny expose` on PMC chat, more specifically, the funny parts. Kottonkandy8 takes particularly funny scenes from her PMC chat experiences, and quotes them in the post. It features some of the popular members, such as Candlebor, or Kawaiigummybear, whose jokes I have myself become prone to laugh at. One of my personal favorites was the peanut butter incident. In conclusion, Kottoncandy8 has brought to the public a new kind of blog. A blog I wouldno t have thought would be successful, but after reading it, I automatically realized why so many people liked it. I give the blog four and a half stars. I myself am already eagerly awaiting a sequel.
