Home Sweet Home

For my first build, I built a house… may seem simple at first, and I’ll admit, it wasn’t the hardest project ever, and I did do it in creative with the toomanyitems mod, but it’s not as simple as you’d think. I promise that I will do builds in survival, without cheating, but please don’t complain when I do one in creative, I tend to get tired of working on one big project.

This is what it looks like from the outside:

The retractable attic stairs:

And the attic:

There’s also the shower head I came up with, but I’m not sure if someone else thought of it first:

When you flip a lever the piston retracts, letting the water flow.

If you didn’t notice what made this house a little more complicated than a normal minecraft house, it’s that each wall is two blocks wide, allowing each room to be a different color, as if the walls were painted. As I said before, I promise I will do some builds in survival, but please don’t complain if I do one in creative. Also, feel free to use some ideas from my builds, as long as if someone asks you give me credit.

Crafting Basics

Here are a few basic crafting recipes for anyone who’s new to Minecraft.

Wooden Planks:

You can make wooden planks no matter what tree you have chopped down, but they will look different.

Crafting Table:

A crafting table is needed to make most of the things that you will need, so as soon as you have wood you should make one. you can also use any type of wooden planks for a crafting table.

Sticks

Sticks are needed to make all tools, weapons, and torches, and are needed in game, so it’s best if you craft those just after a crafting table. Again, you can use any kind of wooden planks.

Chest

Chests are used just as you would think they are used, to store things. If your inventory gets too full, your going on a dangerous adventure, you will want to put things in your chest. It’s also a good idea to put any valuables in a chest at all times. You should make a chest pretty soon, although it’s not necessary right away.

Chest Recipe

I found all of these recipes just by googleing them one by one.

Some good websites where you can find crafting recipes are:

Posts

I have decided that when I post will depend on when I have the time and resources/materials. I will not post any videos for a little while because I do not have a mic that works on my computer, but I will post crafting recipes, builds, etc.

First Post

Hello! I started this blog to share my adventures in minecraft and to just talk about minecraft in general. In case you don’t know, minecraft is a sandbox game where you can build anything you want out of blocks. I will try to post some videos and pictures of things I did in minecraft. I will also try to post arena mob battles, crafting recipes, tutorials, let’s plays, maps, and mod reviews. I have a minecraft server up, and in the future, (once it actually works) I will post the ip. I will also try to delay my posts with regular intervals, but it may depend on what i am posting. I should also warn you that I am not very good at installing things to minecraft, so i may not be able to get some mods. That’s all for now, bye.
