In the Land of Blocks: Issue 1

Friday, February 03, 2012  Anonymous  

Hey everyone out there. Welcome to the first installment of In the Land of Blocks hosted on AnythingGeek.net. This column is where I will talk about my adventures in Minecraft where you can follow my progress.

To begin I'm using Minecraft 1.1.0 and I have a couple of great mods installed to add to the fun. Firstly I have Treecapitator which makes cutting trees a breeze. Next I have Rei's Minimap, this mod adds a small map to your screen and makes getting to your base so much easier and makes exploring more enjoyable. Then I have a couple of Pam's mods. She has created a number of successful mods and implements a lot of community support like extra textures and such. I personally have HarvestCraft, ClothCraft, EarthCraft, DesertCraft and WoodCraft but there are many others that she has and gives support to, so check them out now. Lastly I also added Mo' Creatures and Millionaire. If there are any other mods or even textures you want to see then please comment or send us an email.

Now on to what I have accomplished shall we. This article covers what I had time to do in one day mind you so I think I did well. As you can see above there is a view of my world, there is quite a large forest but there is even tundra to the south-west. I went about collecting resources and getting the bare minimum of each just so I could construct my house before dark. Nearby there was a flock of sheep so later I might revisit that area and corral them into a so I can have a rainbow wool farm.

As you can see it is not much but it has all that I need for now.  It has a cobblestone foundation, walls of planks and then a steeped roof made out of stairs and slabs. A construction guide can be found here on the Minecraft Construction Wiki. I modified the construction a little since I didn't have an abundance of materiel at the time.

I hope you enjoyed this installment of In the Land of Blocks. If you have any recommendations or questions please leave a comment below. Follow this blog for more great content on a number subjects. Remember, until next time folks, enjoy your stay and love your life!
