Hey everyone! I've been away for a few weeks, but I'm back now with some fantastic news! During my time away, I've made significant changes to every single biome. I've been working on new caves and focusing on creating more stable, less laggy, and cleaner biomes. You'll find new oak trees, birch trees, jungle trees, some major and some small changes to everything in my worlds and hundreds of fixes to enhance my maps! I'll return with more details in a few days, so stay tuned!



Also don't hesitate to follow me on twitter to see behind-the-scenes content, renders, map drop schedules and more :))

Hope i see you there!😎

I'm on Patreon Now!

For those that want to support me a little more, I've decided to make my Minecraft Master Worlds available via Patreon for only $10 (that's less than a Big Mac meal at McDonalds!). There's no subscription. It's just a one time purchase and you'll have access to my master worlds for you to explore, create, expand, do whatever!

What is a Master World?
Master Worlds are what I call where I construct all my ships for each designated project. For example, there's a Master World for all Chandris Ships, Carnival Ships, Costa Ships, Pre-WW1 Liners etc. When purchased you will have access to both Bedrock and Java files.

MY SHIPS ARE STILL FREE ON PLANET MINECRAFT.
Don't worry! I'm still going to upload my Individual Ship Builds for FREE on Planet Minecraft DAY ONE! This Patreon option is only for those that want access to the full World where I build all my ships and for those that wish to support me a little more. It would really mean a lot :) since these builds take a lot of time and patience lol.

So that's the update!
- I'm on Patreon for those that want to support me a little more and want my full Master Worlds.
- Individual Ships are still FREE on Planet Minecraft. This Patreon is just for support and is entirely optional.
- No Membership, just one time purchase.
- If you wish to support me and receive something extra, the options are there for you :)

Introducing Maritime Nexus.

Formerly known as Bungus, I am now transitioning to my new identity: Maritime Nexus. You can refer to me as Maritime Nexus, or Bungus if you're still used to it, or by my real name Bryan. Of course you can still expect the same content as always, I am simply rebranding my channel to fit more inline with the content I make.

The reason for this change is I want to make my identity more approachable and professional both on YouTube and within the Ocean Liner Community. Before this change, the name Bungus did not have any relevance to ships or Maritime content, It was a meme name I gave myself while playing Call of Duty and the name has slowly started to wear out as I am growing my platform.

So why Maritime Nexus? The name comes from two meanings: 1) I produce ship content, whether that be Minecraft Ship builds, Ship Horn Compilations or Film Archives. So I generally cover Maritime Ship content from a variety of areas. 2) As as I make different type of videos, the name Nexus comes from the “connection or link between things”. All the content I make or will make is connected to maritime history. So that's where I landed on the name “Maritime Nexus”, a place where Ship content is produced and pays homage to the history of Ocean Liners and Cruise Ships.

So that's the update and my new direction for my brand! Changes are rolling out to all platforms. Thank you all for understanding.

Big Change Coming

In the coming Weeks, I will be rebranding myself to fit more inline with the content I make on YT. As I analyze the Youtube space of Ocean Liner Channels and the Ship Building community, I want my appearance on Youtube and PMC to be more approachable and I want people to know what my channel is about before they click, that way future people can know what content to expect. As I am continuing to grow on YT and PMC I want my identity to be more professional and approachable and relevant to the content I make. The name "Bungus" was Gamertag meme name that I gave myself when I was playing Call of Duty and when I was starting YouTube I wanted to separate my personal accounts and Youtube accounts, hence why I named my channel Bungus. In reality, the name Bungus does not have any relevance with Ships or Maritime content. Also when people ask me what my hobbies are I often avoid telling them my YouTube because of my name. Its a meme name that has overstayed its welcome and I want to clean house and rebrand myself to be more approachable. So yeah my new identity might be something more mundane and boring but I feel it is necessary in order to appear more professional and relevant to my YT content.

In short: Might rebrand my Channel and PMC. Same content and Same Ships just different name.

4/18 Java Worlds are now Available!

Alright so turns out converting my worlds to Java was a lot faster than I anticipated. Now every ship build has a compatible Java version for you guys to explore!

So yeah, going forward all my ship builds will now have a Bedrock and Java version for you guys to explore. Please be aware when I convert my worlds not everything will be converted perfectly and there may be some glitches with chunks in some worlds.

Lastly, keep an eye out for Saturday 4/20 for a new ship for you guys to explore. Have a great week everyone!

4/4 What's Next?

Now that I have completed uploading all my Ship builds to Planet Minecraft, whats next for Bungus? Well, Keep an eye on my About Me Section for any project updates and what I'm currently working on.

Now that all projects have been uploaded it's going to take some time for the next build to come out. I'm not the type of person to ship out a build that is 40-60 or 80% Complete and then update the file every times there's an update. No, I want my ship builds to be ready and pristine for all of you to explore.

So with that my current projects as of April 4, 2024 is the Costa Cruise Ship SS EUGENIO COSTA (with an interior) and a full interior version to the CARNIVAL PANORAMA. As always keep an eye out for my page for any updates, Till then have a great week everyone!

3/26 Nearing the end // Upcoming ships

As the title says, I am nearing the end of weekly ship uploads and am about to be caught up on all my ship builds. It's been fun releasing all my ship builds to the public and letting people explore my ship builds. I may not have the fanciest renders or the most detailed ships but I love what I do and I hope people can look forward to my next ship build. Speaking of ship builds.. Here are the last ships for this week and next week until my next project.

This Week: Classic Costa

Next Week: Royal Caribbean

After those ships, I will be caught up on all available ships and will release the next ship project when it's ready. Until next time folks take care!
