Don't ask me how long this took, but I've been flattening out this area for mini R & D projects to do in my world. Either that or turn it into a Mega City. Option 3 was going to go straight to bedrock with this, but I think that's too long of a project even for me. Besides, doubt there's anything here that'd be worthwhile that I can't try and either find in the world or brut force somehow.

What do y'all think?

Even though this doesn't seem like a lot, I have about 4 d.chests of dirt, one of sand, half of cobble, half of snow blocks and another half of logs not including miscellaneous crap I've collected. I'm going to use most of the mats for most of my upcoming building projects so don't think it's just going to sit there.

Happy 1 Year to my Alpha SSP world

While I haven't played a large amount, I did do stuff for the better part of the time. Mostly digging, looking for diamonds, and trying to fill that stupid lake of mine. Found more diamonds today looking for gold.

Should try to get the records, thinking about an obsidian arena and trying to get skellies to fight creepers. Not sure how well that would work.

It's been far too long for me to not do this, now that we have the means and the ability.

The (at least close to) original YogsCast SoI map. Time to explore to my heart's content.

I noticed that "Da Roolz" have gotten extremely small now. When did the finally chop down the brick?

Project Wasteland has been started https://prnt.sc/Vnlpveb-eqt0

What this means is a total and utter destruction of an island of it's resources for personal profit. Or in this case, pure amusement and sheer ambition. This will serve as the icon of my world to show just what beauty there is in a game that has not even 10% of what the game has now. Don't want to create giant quarry holes, but in the future I may use it for landscaping practice.

How am I going to accomplish this? I have about a full stack of iron blocks. Not just iron, but entire blocks. If I get desperate enough, I could just Y 12 and strip mine. Why am I doing this? boredom, also searching for a dungeon and many a time they are under the stupid water. Searching for the last couple of items then I will have 100% made and found every block.

Only took *checks watch* about a decade.

Watching YogsCast Moon Quest and feeling nostalgic of the good 'ol days when the game was just fun for the sake of fun. I miss adventure maps, stupid LPs with convoluted stories, and no bad-timed humor just to be edgy.

Seeing Twitter in a fire over Minecraft's new MCBan system, methinks that someone should probably put water to the fire and show that this is only bad for those who want to ruin another person's day.

While I don't necessarily agree with how they're taking as this has been proven to be a very terrible idea thanks to Team aVo's wonderful display of what kind of havoc it will reek on the general gaming populace, it does show how the community has changed over the past decade. No longer are players willing to put up with the abuse thanks to ex-League pro players coming in to dump their radioactive waste everywhere and want a nice environment for us and our children.

Minecraft has grown up, whether we like it or not. I am surprised that this change hasn't come sooner thanks to the efforts of Account Migration. If you have nothing to worry about, then don't sweat it, if you think that this will be a massive issue then it will be resolved in time.

It is a massive game with many people of varying backgrounds, there are going to be a lot, and I mean a lot, of false positives that will cause MicroJang to backtrack and rethink this entire idea.Should you still remain weary, if you're a Java player, there's always the Time Machine tool.

Maybe should get that feature for Bedrock? It's an idea. There's also Discord, twitter, and if you're very desperate facebook where you can chat outside the game and avoid being banned. However, pretty sure that if the water is full of rotten animals, it's not going to matter one way or the other, so best avoid situations that would cause you stress and play with only those you can really trust.

The WINNERS of the Exoplanet Event are finally announced! Read what the judges had to say!

The Wild Update isn't really wild. In fact, it's not even growling, it's kind of sitting there purring. There have been many bad updates, this is certainly one for the books.

We got a mob that's a worse hopper, a boss monster that is as pointless as the panda even with the drop, and more cut content than a pokemon game.

It saddens me that we will not be getting fireflies in the new Minecraft update simply because we got the frog which I'm not for nor against. However, I would have preferred something else entirely.

Anyway, I love fireflies. I love them in video games, they are the most charming of bugs that signify the beginning of summer, they are the definition of a children's vacation, to deny that is almost paving over what little entertainment Minecraft has left for pure efficiency of creativity.

There are very few games where they are a nice atmospheric touch to add calmness to the ambiance and even less where they are interactible. Hopefully Mojang will reconsider it and re-introduce them alongside the long-awaited Seasons update which I have already believed will never come.

To make my stance very clear, let me show you one of my all-time favorite games with my all-time favorite level, bar none. This is coming from someone who put hundreds hours into OSRS and thousands of hours into the Harvest Moon games.

Let me introduce you to Katamari

Given how empty my world is as well as my pursuit of improving my building skills, the next project on my list is making a bunch of village homes.

Blacksmith is almost done. Haven't been to the Nether yet so no lava and it's missing a glass pane and chest. Not sure how to do a table since I can't place a pressure plate on fencing. Or at least not sure if I'm able. Alpha has some janky mechanics, I'm sure I can come up with some solution. No, there's no wood slabs. might be just a fence and stone slab which will look super awkward.

Might spread them out across my worlds and make them varied in design. Have enough iron saved up where I can make "golems" to defend bigger ones that I make.

Finally got back to working on my lake MahnMaid and finished the first part of it https://prnt.sc/86FkoD-llEm_

Took several hours, a few iron shovels, and a couple hundred stacks of sand and gravel to get it done. Did this through Layering because old minecraft had some issues with water and thus had a tendency to creates little whirlpools that would be nearly impossible to clean up.

Thinking about littering "rocks" in it or making a sandy island. Not sure yet, but it's a project to keep me busy and give me something to do.
