My MineCraft adventures

I'm back

2012-01-12T10:57:00.000-08:00

Oh hell yeah, you read the title right, i'm back!

After i guess.. not writing for about a year, i'm finally back.
So from now on, about every 2 days an awesome minecraft blog!

So, be sure to follow my blog!

- yeah i'm sorry for the small, bad written blog. But I really don't know what to do else..

Japanese Temple

2011-05-29T13:10:00.000-07:00

Allright, the server is up and running, and I've built quite a lot off things. So yeah, I've got enough content to write a few blogs. But I guess it would be nice by starting the series with the first base i built, a japanese temple. Check out these pictures!

Next post will be a dungeon i built!

Some more funny MineCraft pictures (:

2011-05-08T04:46:00.000-07:00

Allright, I haven't updated my blog in quite a while now, and I'm sorry for that. It's just that I've been very busy!

Anyways, enjoy these pics (:

I think the last one is very cute actually :3

New server finally online!

2011-05-02T05:54:00.000-07:00

Great news folks, the server is online!

And my first project will be building an small base, check out these pics (:

Looks pretty sweet eh? (:

Found an awesome seed!

2011-04-27T23:41:00.000-07:00

Allright, we all know minecraft-seeds like gargamel. But today I found an awesome one. Found some pics, take a look (:

Looks pretty sweet eh? The seed name is Helios, check it out!

Farmin around in MineCraft

2011-04-25T03:56:00.000-07:00

Today I came to an shocking conclusion. Well, not really shocking. Just a conclusion mostly, but that's pretty special for me. Anyways, the point is, I've never made a farm before in MineCraft! I always got bread from friends of mine, and since making bread is an archievement now, I figured i'd set up a small farm and make some bread. And guess what, I did it :D

Just so you know though, this was build on my single player server (where I play on hard, hence, the moat and fences protecting my house) since the multiplayer server still isn't up yet.

Some awesome skins.

2011-04-23T03:49:00.000-07:00

Bad news folks, since the new server still isn't up yet, and the old one hasn't been updated yet to the new version (1.5... I should write a blog about that!).

And for this exact reason I've decided to write different blog today, about skins. Yup, a blog with some great skins which you can use for your minecraft character. Enjoy!

A steampunk skin. Download it, use it, love it.

A lovely engineer skin

Mister creeper (:

I'm sorry I don't have any pics of the skins on the characters, but I really wanted to share this with you guys. I promise next time I'll show some pics (:

Stuff my friends build on the server part 2.

2011-04-19T08:41:00.000-07:00

I promised you guys, so here it is (:

All these buildings were build by Brumo, and no long text with this blog (":

Enjoy the pictures!

Don't forget to leave a comment!

Stuff my friends build on the server

2011-04-18T01:10:00.000-07:00

Well, the new server still isn't up yet, so I decided to write a new blog about the buildings my friends made.

This blog will probably consist of 3 Parts, since I've got quite some pictures and I don't want to post this huge blog (":

First of, here is a floating temple a fellow named Brumo build. It floats around, and well, is pretty epic :3

Enjoy some of the pictures (:

The best thing about this building is probably that it's build legit. yeah that right, it's legit!

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM ~ Part 2!

2011-04-16T05:53:00.000-07:00

Remeber my last blog?

Well, I had more time to waste, so I decided to blow up some more. Me and my friends got ourselves some TNT, and decided to ravage our server once more. Here are some more pics, and I promise I'll write a nice blog tommorrow :3

The place where my maze used to be. Yep, it's a shame.

Remeber to leave a comment below!

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

2011-04-12T12:40:00.000-07:00

All right, remeber our city?

Well, we got ourselves some TNT, and well, the next pics dont really need any explanation.

All right, I bet you have 2 questions right now, first one being: WTF IS ALL THAT CAKE DOING THERE? Simple answer: we were bored.

Next question will probably be: why? Why oh mother of god why?. Well, me and my mates will be starting a new server, and since this server isn't going to be of use anymore we decided to blow it up :D

I will keep you guys posted on our next server (:

MineCraft maze finished.

2011-04-09T04:41:00.000-07:00

Click here for part 1

Allright, I took some time off today, and finished my maze. It was a real pain in the ass to build, but its finally finished. Woohoo, I finished a project!

Enjoy the pics (:

A big part of the maze

The wolves like little chideren. They also enjoy meat though.

Search long enough and you'll find some cake :D

MineCraft maze!

2011-04-07T06:30:00.000-07:00

I don't really know how I should tell you guys, but yes, I've started another project. Again.

I wanted to do this fun thing for my friends so I decided to do an pretty sweet maze, here are some pics (:

The maze from the top view. Still needs a lot of work.

It also includes an underground maze!

Yeah.. I still need to make all these bushes higer -_-

My floating island (still W.I.P. though)

2011-04-05T08:32:00.000-07:00

Like I've said before in several blogs, I have this huge problem focussing on 1 project. So for today, I've decided to show you guys some other projects of mine.

Currently, I'm building this huge flying city inspired by bioshock 3. It's mostly W.I.P. though. Anyways, here are some pics. Enjoy!

The entrance to the city

On my way..

What I've got so far.

Tommorow I'll post some more pics (:

How to do Pixel-Art in MineCraft

2011-04-03T23:03:00.000-07:00

Yeah, instead of rambling about an random subject I will be doing a small tutorial today, which is actually very easy. I'm going to teach you guys how to Pixel-Art in MineCraft (just like the title said).

Anyways, here's what you need:
- A shit load of wool
- Dye's
- And 8-Bit picture (16 bit is also allowed but it's a lot harder)

Allright, for my tutorial I decided to use Mudkip today.

Now, we're going to take the sprite, and open it in paint. There we'll be drawing lines like so.

You can skip this step if you want, but it will make your art a lot easier.

Next off, start building it in MineCraft, while you'll be looking at your picture the whole time. Don't try to rush it, or you'll screw it up and fixing that takes even more time.

Well, that's it. See, that wasn't so hard was it?

Some tips:

start out with projects like this

After some practise you'll be able to build stuff like this

Happy building!

I hate snow. I really do.

2011-04-03T01:32:00.000-07:00

Since the person who runs my server, still hasn't updated it yet, I can't play on my own trusted server. After some thinking, I started my own private world. And guess what.

Snow.

I hate snow. I really do. And I have good reasons to hate snow. First off, I live in the Netherlands. For people who don't know, it's an country filled with alcohol, weed and snow. A lot off, snow.

But that's not the only reason for my hatred towards snow. Snow is boring, it's annoying to look at, it's repetitive and it's an pain in the ass to get rid of it all.

I only thing I can do now, is hope, hope the server admin updates the server. Or start a new single player world of course.

Beta 1.4 is out!

2011-04-01T23:23:00.000-07:00

Like all of you minecrafters will have noticed by now, beta 1.4 was released 2 days ago.

There have been quite some features added, but the best one by far, is that they added wolfs!

... or dogs, I'm not quite sure yet.

The wolves just wander about a little, and you can turn them into a dog by giving them 2 bones. Which will make them tame, and they'll follow you around, helping you fighting zombies (not creepers though, appartenly even wolfes/dogs are afraid of green penises (something which I can relate to)) The best thing about them though, is that they do not despawn, which is great, because this means you can enjoy the company of your wolf/dog everyday.

Here's a little video of the wolfdog in action

See, this video calls them Dogs. I think they're more like catdog. Except the other part is a wolf, which makes them Wolfdogs. Or dogwolfs ofcourse, whichever you prefer

Some funny MineCraft pictures.

2011-04-01T00:06:00.000-07:00

Yep, that's right, I couldn't be bothered to write a blog today, even though I should be writing about Beta 1.4.. Nah, screw it.

Since I'm lazy as hell, but still want to entertain my followers, here are some funny MineCraft pictures (:

I really need to finish my base :l

2011-03-31T01:42:00.000-07:00

Like I said in earlier blogs, when it comes to finishing my projects in MineCraft I'm like a 12 year old with ADHD and parents who hate him on xbox live. I just keep on cursing because nothing seems to work out for me. Seriously.

I've been busy for a few days with my underground base now, which actually took quite some time to build. Here is a screenshot of the entry hall

Yeah, I was kinda inspired by the mines of moria, from the first Lord of the Rings

And that's just the entry, yeah, it took a very long time too make. And believe me, it was boring as fuck.
But that's not all! Here is another screenshot which contains the entry for my actual base.

The thing is, I'm surprised by my own skill of commiting to this actual project.

I will keep you guys updated (:

8 Bit Art

2011-03-30T05:18:00.000-07:00

Goodmorning folks

Since I'm feeling like shit today (coughing and stuff) I decided to build some 8 bit stuff in minecraft today. Because thats what you do when you're sick right? (:

I started off today with some simple stuff, like kirby,

I was quite unsure about the shoe colors, but in the end I decided to go with the 'old skool' Kirby colors.

And Megaman.

Turned out to look pretty good eh?

Yeah, I need to do some epic pixel art like my friend AcrophobicHawk did, he made this pikachu all by himself (You can clearly see he has an eye for detail, and no girlfriend)

GOTTA CATH 'EM ALL GOTTA CATH 'EM ALL

Yeah, he made this when he heard I was making pixel art. The f*cker always needs to be better than I am (":

So yeah, this was my short adventure today (I really suck at writing blogs like you may have noticed).

Next time I think I should finish my base instead of building random stuff, but hey, it looks pretty sweet (:

Introducing you to my server (;

2011-03-29T10:32:00.000-07:00

Goodmorning folks and welcome to my first minecraft blog, woohoo!

Let me start by introducing myself: I'm Daan, 16 years old and I live in the Netherlands (probably the reason why my english is so fucked up (: ) I love playing games in general and me and a few friends of mine decided to start our own minecraft server. I'll mostly be blogging about stuff I'm building or stuff I've experienced so far on our server.

The picture contains the spawning point of the server I play on, looks pretty good doesn't it right? (:

Currently I'm doing several projects at the same time, mainly because I'm like a little kid with ADHD. I try to do too much stuff, at the same time, which turns out to me to be boring. Great stuff eh?

Well, I want to thank you for reading my first blog, I apologise for any bad english, and I hope you like it.

Next blog will be funier though ;)
