Hello all, I'm BM13 and I am mainly into Minecraft for creating and playing Adventure maps. I got bored of survival pretty quickly, and look to Minecraft for more creative means. I started when the game first came out in 2009, and 10 years later, I decided to get back into the grind. 2012-2015 I was part of an Adventure map making team called the Silver Legacy Ancients. I was brought onto the team at a young age for my expertise in storyline writing, plot designing, and lore creating. I was also very proficient in the use of red stone. Now this doesn't count as advertising because you can no longer download these maps as the Minecraft versions are no longer available. The team I was a part of was responsible for the creations of maps such as "The Lighthouse" "Cod Zombies in Minecraft" and "A Lost Soul." I was the story line writer for these maps. The story I wrote about for "The Lighthouse" was about a lone wanderer who got caught in a coastal storm and found refuge in a light house. It was a sort of a "Find the button" sort of map (I think that's what they are called today) where every little secret lead to another part of the story. Basically, a family was murdered in the lighthouse by a psychotic man who ended up hiding in the basement and the player either escapes or is killed by him. "Cod Zombies in Minecraft" was actually a server before it was hacked by the AJF Hack team or some weird name like that (Mind you servers weren't very safe back then) and we built Nacht Der Untoten in Minecraft and got it to work with lobbies. We also got Verruckt and Shi No Numa built and had Der Reise in beta but we got hacked and they pretty much blew everything up with TNT and put a server option in that gave players creative mode. "A Lost Soul" was more of a playable novel where a young man came home from a war set in the roman empire. He found out his wife was unfaithful, however he forgave her when he realized she thought he was dead. Story progresses and he finds out she was lying and that her soul would be sent to hell, and he ends up trading places and travels through hell for a time. Story took place in the nether for a good 3/5 of it. Like I said this is not an advertisement because none of these exist anymore, nor does the adventure map team. I'm just giving my Minecraft history to the introduction thread.

As of now, I am currently learning the new red stone and how it works, and the command blocks and how they evolved. Recently I just discovered how to make a command that makes an Item Unbreakable, Have a Title, Lore, and Enchantments, and how to give a player custom effects without anyone knowing. That's just a little about my progress with what I've been working on. My next goal is to learn how to spawn multiple mobs and then use a mob detection command to active a red stone current and open a door/teleporter once all mobs are destroyed.

I have also been writing a novel that mixes a few games into one. I'm writing a novel called A Heart of Darkness (not to be mixed up with the classic novella by Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness) about a super continent run by multiple kingdoms at war with an Evil king chasing a Princess, both from a foreign land. The Evil king covers the land with an Evil tide and the two protagonists have to make an unlikely alliance to defeat him. The story would start off with a main Deity creating a world (Albitran) and 2 higher beings too oversee his world (ex Goddess of light and Prince of Darkness.) The Deity would also create Sages to act as Guardians for each part of his world (ex. Guardian of Fire, Guardian of Water, ect.) This would be the backstory of how the world was created. Now the main story would follow Atticus, a young scholar from the main kingdom of Ancastor, on his journey to become a high politician of his kingdom. Or so he thought. When Atticus attends a ceremony to honor a lone soldier who was the only survivor from his battalion in their deployment to the desert lands of Ramili, he gets a little surprise. The soldiers name is Maolmhuidh, or Maol (May-Ole), from the neighboring forest kingdom of Runda. Runda acts as a sub kingdom of Ancastor, being forced to see to the needs of Ancastor. During the ceremony, The high king asks one last task of Maol, to escort the princess of another continent to Ancastor. The king also selects one graduate from the college to act as a guide for the princess, while Maol provides protection. Atticus is selected, and the two venture off to meet the princess, but when they do, they learn that she is fleeing a war from her land caused by an evil king who found a superior power and is on his way to Albitran. Atticus and Maol are called upon by the princess to travel to various lands to appease the guardians of the land for protection in defense for the evil kings arrival. Little did they know, that it was already to late. The Evil King corrupted all the guardians and is using the Prince of Darkness to rule the world. Atticus and Maol have a limited time to put a stop to it or the King will fully engulf the world in darkness.

I intend of making this an adventure map someday but that'll be years away from now. Anyways that's a little bit about me and my past and future goals within the game of Minecraft.
