For the first time ever, I've finally used up a diamond pickaxe in my Alpha SSP. I've always either lost it through dying or made a new world. This is a great day for me because I'm over my fear of wasting items for the most part.

Back in the day, I was so perfectionist that I would constanly start over if anything went wrong even in the slightest. The older I've gotten, the more I accept that failure isn't always the worst and sometimes losing things helps you find others.

Despite that, I'll still be using stone pickaxes in the nether because netherrack will chew through even my 2 stacks of iron block supply in minutes.

Hello there, I have killed the dragon in Minecraft on my current world, only took...100+ days because I was busy doing other things on the world.

Some images of the Tower, don't want to spoil what's at the top in case someone wants to explore it.

It reaches the height limit which always puts the modern game into perspective. Might dig out a chunk (16 x 16 to bedrock) but I have done that before so it is a waste of time and exhausing to do. At this point, I'm going to just work on improving my building and redstone skills since those were a few reasons for going back.

Tower of the Sky is almost done. Just need to add a bit more glass and a chest on top. Will post pictures tomorrow. Found another dozen diamonds or so in my wanderings, have far too much iron, got a bit of gold, and still no luck on music discs.

At this point, I might make a giant arena made of obsidian and hope for the best by luring skeletons and creepers around. Should I use a guide or think it might be a waste? I could just keep caving until I find more dungeons, but I'm getting exhausted blndly going around.

Hello all, I have decided that being a member was too much for me, it came with too many responsibilities and extra buttons. Sorry to have let you all down but I have retired from being a Member and returned to being a Retired Moderator.

I hope everyone had fun with the little april fool's joke organised by the mod team however. It was certainly strange seeing some of the mods with the member blue for their name instead of the colours I've become so used to over the many years I've been on the site.

Quick, while we're Site Mods, make all teen skins legal

I would like to inform you all that I have retired from being a Retired Moderator and I have now been promoted to the rank of Member! I hope to make you all proud during my time here as a Member, I will strive to do my best.

Hi PMC, hope you're having a great weekend!

After a roller coaster ride of locating, merging, migrating and auditing massive amounts of data (nearly a billion records), I'm back on crossing off front-end features until remaining tasks are down to launch preparation. The bulk of the work is done, last 10% requires pushing through and eventually leaving some ideas for post launch.

Just going to drop several work in progress screenshots from various analytics sub-pages and let them do the talking:

Even though it's only Alpha, it brings aw to something simple like a tower. This is probably several dozen stacks of cobble to build, make the floor out of smooth, and using the cobble to make the slabs

The plan is to build it to world height and put a chest on top with some goodies. The inner cylinder is going to be a lava tube. Not meant to be a challenge, more of a display of commitment to a dumb project that most people could do in a second with WE or VP.

One day, I'll find those disks. Or make a mob box and hope that I'd get lucky with skeleton creeper tag.

It's been a while, but I'm still playing on my Alpha world. Been finishing up a few projects, started a couple more, and intend on getting the last couple items required for my museum.

Please welcome the newest business to my town, Diggit Co.(off to the right)

I'm going to update the world file either later tonight or tomorrow. I want to get a couple things organized first.

This little dog is a cheeky bugger. I've not been able to get a decent photo of this lil dude over the course of 2 workshops and he has just the cheekiest looking face.

Getting to photograph unique dogs is a real hoot.

I'm working on our Creator Analytics update and while it has grown in scope, it's more interesting and useful than I first imagined.

Here's a sneak peak of just the top half of a random members analytics widgets!

Each widget has a full page view that allows for an in-depth exploration of its data and insights. You will have the flexibility to navigate through various time frames, extending back to the inception of your membership or the publication date of your content, depending on the specific context. Relevant content, notifications and more will be readily available to explain and learn more about your analytics.

Still not sure when it will be ready but every day, it's getting closer :P
