It's Done!

Three months of work from start to finish! All so I could finally present to the world:

Pocket, Minecraft Edition:

Some standard rambles and fun progress images under the cut :)

So, I started this project in early August, mostly as something I could do during downtime of a then upcoming trip.

I had seen some absolutely amazing art pieces by @royalnaym which kinda gave me the idea that minecraft rendered in pixel art has a pretty interesting while still very recognizable look. At the same time I came across @groupcritpowerdynamics 's speedrun pastel pieces and those really inspired me to try depicting my favourite game in one of my favourite mediums!

In the middle of August 6th, while in the middle of packing for my trip to the UK, I decided I wanted to do this and I wanted to have it to work on during the trip, so I loaded up minecraft and went looking for a screenshot worthy of immortalization. Unfortunately I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for so I made a brand new world and started looking around for the right vibes.

I knew I wanted a lone tree, and that if I ended up including the hot bar I wanted some hearts and food missing, so after running around for a few minutes I decided I would just do it myself and planted a sapling to serve as my centrepiece.

I gotta say I think the resemblance is striking!

And now as promised, the progress gif: mind the slight flashing, I did take these in all manner of different places including but not limited to: a plane, a handful of buses, and a small inn on the shores of England (not in that order).

It's pretty neat to me that you can see how different tones of lighting affect the perceived colour of the thread, I definitely noticed it more on this piece verses other larger stitch projects.

Steve (my version). A naive and well-meaning country boy. He yearns to know something about himself. His past and existence perplexes himself and his fellow villagers. Nevertheless, the villagers are kind to him, and love him despite his strangeness.

guy who's spent 1000 hours playing minecraft: the storage utility of the shulker box and the ease of travel offered by the elytra makes defeating the ender-dragon and accessing the end cities a must-do for any and all players who's skill set extends beyond those of a total beginner

Minecraft if it was awesome

I love the concept of minecraft as a post-post-apocalyptic world. like caves and cliffs made the terrain so intense it's like it was split by earthquakes. the structures are long since ruined. some known animals persevere and other new ones have evolved. there were people here but where are they now. nature has forcefully reclaimed what is hers

just me and doggy (i love the block game (tm) )

What if we were two touching stars in Minecraft.... and our creators made sure that we would stay together even when fate tries to tear us apart.........

DONE. I moved the Pale Garden underground! This is a very simple datapack that works in the newest 24w40a snapshot (and should work in future versions).
