Minecraft HOW TO DO

How To Make A Potion Of Invisibility

Requirements:

-1 Brewing Stand

-1 Cauldron

-1 Bucket of Water

- 1-3 Empty Glass Bottles

-1 Glistering Melon

-1 Nether Wart

-1 Gunpowder (Optional- to make splash potion)

STEP 1: Empty the Water Bucket into the Cauldron to extract 1-3 Water Glass Bottles from.

STEP 2: Place the Water Bottles onto the Brewing Stand and add 1 Nether Wart to create the Awkward Potion.

STEP 3: Then add 1 Glistering Melon to create the Potion of Invisibility.

STEP 4: (Optional) If considered to make this a throw-able (splash potion), then add 1 Gunpowder, but this will reduce the effect timing of this potion, deducting 45 seconds.

This potion is useful for fooling the sights of mobs in Minecraft, especially Creepers. Also for infiltrating Dungeons and dark caves to ensure yourself from getting attacked.

A Star Trek Discovery: How long would it take to watch all Star Trek Movies and TV Series?

2012-11-02T18:15:00.002+00:00

After searching for hours throughout the entire Star Trek trilogy (1966-2009) I have finally discovered, how long would it take non-stop to watch all Star Trek movies and TV Series. This is my discovery

Star Trek The Original Series: 4000 Mins- 66 Hours 40 Minutes
Star Trek The Animated Series: 660 Mins- 11 Hours
Star Trek The Motion Picture: 132 Mins- 2 Hours 12 Minutes
Star Trek The Wrath of Khan: 113 Mins- 1 Hour 53 Minutes
Star Trek The Search for Spock: 105 Minuts- 1 Hour 45 Minutes
Star Trek The Yoyage Home: 119 Minutes- 1 Hour 59 Minutes
Star Trek The Final Frontier: 107 Minutes- 1 Hour 47 Minutes
Star Trek The Undiscovered Country: 113 Mins- 1 Hour 53 Minutes
Star Trek The Next Generation: 7920 Mins- 132 Hours
Star Trek Deep Space Nine: 7785 Mins- 129 Hours 45 Minutes
Star Trek Generations: 118 Mins- 1 Hour 58 Minutes
Star Trek First Contact: 111 Mins- 1 Hour 51 Minutes
Star Trek Voyager: 7650 Mins- 127 Hours 30 Minutes
Star Trek Enterprise: 4116 Mins- 68 Hours 36 Minutes
Star Trek Nemesis: 116 Mins- 1 Hour 56 Minutes
Star Trek Insurrection: 103 Mins- 1 Hour 43 Minutes
Star Trek: 127 Minutes- 2 Hours 7 Minutes

ALL TOGETHER:
In Minutes: 33395 Minutes
In Hours: 556 Hours 35 Minutes
In Days (Nearest Possible Answer) 23 Days

It would take 23 Days (Nearest Possible Answer) to watch all the Star Trek Movies and TV Series Non-Stop. However, the new movie Star Trek Into Darkness (2) coming out in 2013 I will add soon but in the meantime, this is the answer.

How to obtain a Dragon Egg

2012-05-05T23:00:00.000+01:00

Trying to get a Dragon Egg is like trying to get Bedrock (which is actually impossible to obtain in Survival), one of the simplest ways to obtain a Dragon Egg is using a Piston or TNT. If you punch the Dragon Egg by clicking it, it will teleport into another place

What you need
-Dragon Egg (That you have not got in your Inventory)
-Piston
-Lever

Step 1: Take your Piston and place it next to your Dragon Egg pointing the direction of the Dragon Egg.

Step 2: Add your lever next to the Piston to make it activate then pull the lever for the piston to move the Dragon Egg.

Step 3: And there you have it, your Dragon Egg can now be obtained by you.

How to make Fire Charge

2012-05-04T10:30:00.001+01:00

A Fire Charge was before time a defence item for Ghasts in the Nether, in range they shoot out Fire Charges out of their mouths, that's because they can see a player to a range of 100 blocks away. Fire Charge was not obtained by players until the 1.2 update. Fire Charge have the same properties of Flint and Steel but you can only use one once at a time, they are used to light up a fire. This is how you can make a Fire Charge.

You will need
-Nether Portal
-Sword
-Furnace
-Wood
-Wooden Planks

Step 1:
Walk outside your house and find a Creeper, when you see one. Attack it and kill it with your sword before it kills you and if you're lucky it will manage to drop Gunpowder, obtain the Gunpowder and go to the Nether using your Portal.

Step 2:
While you are in the Nether look for Nether Fortresses, Blazes usually spawn there and when you are facing a Blaze, kill it and it might drop a Blaze Rod. Return to your Portal and go back to your World.

Step 3:
When you are back at your World, you hunt for trees to get wood and craft some of the wood to wooden planks and burn them to make Charcoal. Or your could just get a pickaxe and mine Coal Ores.

Step 4:
Using your Blaze Rod, craft your Blaze Rod to Blaze Powder by your crafting section in your inventory or crafting table.

Step 5: After so, you use all your three items you have obtained and craft them into a Fire Charge, you get three of them at a time and there you have it!

How to stop a Fire from burning out

2012-05-03T18:14:00.001+01:00

There are many ways to stop a fire from going out but that is because it is mods or special commands, if you really want to stop a fire from burning out then this post might help you.

What you will need

-Nether Portal

-Pickaxe

Suggested: Iron, Diamond

-Flint and Steel or Fire Charge

Step 1:

First build a Nether Portal, If you have a Nether Portal skip this step, using Obsidian 5 blocks high and 4 blocks width but do not build in the centre, leave the centre 3x2 blocks of air and light up your flint and steel or fire charge. Then enter the portal to the Nether.

Step 2:
When you are at the Nether go to any part of an area of Netherracks and mine them with your pickaxe. Remember, do not go far from your portal as you may be lost in the Nether.

Step 3:
After you have mined your Netherracks with your pickaxe return to your World by going to your Portal, place a block or more of your mined Netherrack(s) and light them by using your Fire Charge or Flint and Steel and there you have it, you have a everlasting fire! Never place Netherrack near flammable items such as TNT, Wood, Wooden Planks, Leaves, Wool and Wooden Stairs.

Netherrack is very powerful with Fire that even in Rain or Snow, it cannot burn out, however it does have a weak blast resistance.

How to get Obsidian

2012-04-29T00:30:00.000+01:00

The first thing you need to get Obsidian is a Diamond Pickaxe, that's the only tool that Obsidian can be mined.

Obsidian is a very powerful mineral, the second thing to Bedrock which is almost impossible to mine, it may be mined in Servers but not in Single Player Mode, unless you are creative. Obsidian is so powerful, it cannot be destroyed by Creepers, TNT, not even Ender Dragons.

NOTE: If you have a Diamond Pickaxe already, don't bother reading what's below. Just skip to the 4th picture.

How to get Diamonds to make a Diamond Pickaxe:

What you need:
-1 Iron Pickaxe
-1 Shovel (Optional)
- Torches to light caverns

Step 1: Find a spot or a cave and dig strait down or light up the entrance, watch out for lava and water pits.

Step 2: Diamonds usually appear just around Bedrock, lava levels and large spaced caverns. When you see Diamond Ores like these mine them with your pickaxe and bring them back to the surface to make your Diamond Pickaxe.

Step 3: In order to make the Pickaxe you will also need 2 Sticks by crafting Wood into Wooden Planks and Wooden Planks into Sticks and then you have your Diamond Pickaxe.

To Get Obsidian:
What you need:
-Torches
-Diamond Pickaxe
-Bucket of Water

Step 1: Go back to the place you got your Ores and look for Lava, if you see no water then use your bucket of water and put it on lava, that way you make Obsidian but be careful, Water can sometimes- Take over lava so you only have water instead of Obsidian, make Stone blocks or make Cobblestone.

Step 2: When you see Obsidian mine them with your Diamond Pickaxe but you will need patience as Obsidian can be taken about 20 seconds to mine with a Diamond Pickaxe, and when you have Obsidian, you're done!

Welcome to my Minecraft Creations Site

2011-12-05T15:20:00.000+00:00

Hey There,

Welcome to my Site, for people who play Minecraft or not here is some of my Crations I have been working on Minecraft, I haven't been playing Minecraft for a long time but I did lots of start off creations in the game, I started playing Minecraft directly on 28th November 2011, I have heard of this game since August 2nd 2011.

I thought of getting the game but I needed alots of requirements, 3 Months later there I was.

My First Creation in Minecraft was the Hotel Skyscraper (Picture Below) , It was made out of Dirt, I didnt know how to play so I used dirt for a start, the building was 15 Floors high. Here's the Picture of the Place. This Picture also shows what the NavekCity did looked before, this was the only picture we can get. If you wonder why the bottom of the Building is grey and the rest if brown well here's why- The Grey part is Cobblestone, I hated how the building is made out of dirt so I tried to re make it Cobblestone, The Brown part is Dirt which is used when I started playing Minecraft. About 3 Weeks later from when I took this picture, It soon became Impossible to remake the entire building Cobblestone so to me I had no choice but to Destroy it but before I did, I redirected my home as a Cobblestone home, I took this picture from my home to show what the Hotel Skyscraper looked like.
