- I started questioning my identity in 2019; I'm no closer to finding a label now than I was then. The difference is, now I don't want a label. I just am. :]

I did say I'd bring photos of the renovated place!

We uh. Now have TWO glowsquids in the pool so I do not know for sure if it's Glucie. Probably is though because I did not nametag the other one.

She has an underground river now! It goes along the hill just under the surface. Makes the ground glow at night if she's up there having a fun time. She goes back and forth more than I expected.

There is a small overhang off the portal for the enderians now! I also redid the original bridge, and added 2 more (the 3rd not visible here) in the same style. The waystone is now public because I had to move it, so it was undiscovered by everyone. There's also now a crimson section to the nether forest chunk!

Moving over just a touch, I kept the bare bones of the first house as a backlog storage space for the company! I produce more sugarcane than makes clean bundles, so that awkward excess gets neatly stocked here, amongst the excess for everything else. (Except.. except the beans. The cocoa beans sell out and I just put the extras in the freebie bin.)

Even the farm got a little renovation! Sugarcane was localized to the rest of the farm. I think it looks nice.

Okay, let's go in! Say hi to the mooshroom! He likes affection. Careful of the growths, they're sensitive. (pls gib name suggestions otherwise he's just getting a latin name for a random cool looking mushroom.)

The guest room is almost done..! I need a dry bed yet, but I wanted to make sure Saphie would be okay if she came up here.

And the utility room! The stairs lead up to my/Vad's room.

Minecraft tablet cover

Colin Fanning, a curatorial fellow at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, points out that European philosophers have long promoted block-­based games as a form of “good” play that cultivates abstract thought. Playing with blocks, it turns out, has deep cultural roots in Europe. They are irresistibly drawn by the detritus generated by building, gardening, housework, tailoring or carpentry.” “Children,” the social critic Walter Benjamin wrote in 1924, “are particularly fond of haunting any site where things are being visibly worked on. What will the Minecraft generation become? Those kids of the ’70s and ’80s grew up to become the architects of our modern digital world, with all its allures and perils. It invites them to tinker.Īt a time when even the president is urging kids to learn to code, Minecraft has become a stealth gateway to the fundamentals, and the pleasures, of computer science. Where companies like Apple and Microsoft and Google want our computers to be easy to manipulate - designing point-and-click interfaces under the assumption that it’s best to conceal from the average user how the computer works - Minecraft encourages kids to get under the hood, break things, fix them and turn mooshrooms into random-­number generators. And it runs completely counter to most modern computing trends. It’s a world of trial and error and constant discovery, stuffed with byzantine secrets, obscure text commands and hidden recipes. It’s more like a destination, a technical tool, a cultural scene, or all three put together: a place where kids engineer complex machines, shoot videos of their escapades that they post on YouTube, make art and set up servers, online versions of the game where they can hang out with friends. But as Jordan’s experience suggests - and as parents peering over their children’s shoulders sense - Minecraft is a different sort of phenomenon.įor one thing, it doesn’t really feel like a game. There have been blockbuster games before, of course. In 2014, Microsoft bought Minecraft - and Mojang, the Swedish game studio behind it - for $2.5 billion. There are over 100 million registered players, and it’s now the third-best-­selling video game in history, after Tetris and Wii Sports. Since its release seven years ago, Minecraft has become a global sensation, captivating a generation of children. “My art teacher always says, ‘No games are creative, except for the people who create them.’ But she said, ‘The only exception that I have for that is Minecraft.’ ” He floated over to the maze’s exit, where he had posted a sign for the survivors: The journey matters more than what you get in the end. On-screen, he steered us over to the entrance to the maze, and I peered in at the contraptions chugging away. “It’s like the earth, the world, and you’re the creator of it,” he said. When I visited Jordan at his home in New Jersey, he sat in his family’s living room at dusk, lit by a glowing iMac screen, and mused on Minecraft’s appeal. It was an ingenious bit of problem-­solving, something most computer engineers I know would regard as a great hack - a way of coaxing a computer system to do something new and clever. Presto: Jordan had used the cow’s weird behavior to create, in effect, a random-­number generator inside Minecraft. He stuck the mooshroom inside, where it would totter on and off the plates in an irregular pattern. He built a pen out of gray stones and installed “pressure plates” on the floor that triggered a trap inside the maze. Jordan realized he could harness the animal’s movement to produce randomness. One, a red-and-white cowlike critter called a mooshroom, is known for moseying about aimlessly. Then it hit him: the animals! Minecraft contains a menagerie of virtual creatures, some of which players can kill and eat (or tame, if they want pets). How to do it, though? He obsessed over the problem. That would really throw his friends off guard.

But what he really wanted was a trap that behaved unpredictably. Jordan built a variety of obstacles, including a deluge of water and walls that collapsed inward, Indiana Jones-style. He recently read “The Maze Runner,” a sci-fi thriller in which teenagers live inside a booby-­trapped labyrinth, and was inspired to concoct his own version - something he then would challenge his friends to navigate. Jordan wanted to build an unpredictable trap.Īn 11-year-old in dark horn-­rimmed glasses, Jordan is a devotee of Minecraft, the computer game in which you make things out of virtual blocks, from dizzying towers to entire cities.

I remembered some more bits and bobs and found pictures!! Also I literally had a dream last night btw that someone reblogged this and said "damn bitch you live like this?" and it made me wake myself up from laughing

The house was lit up fine, but for some reason creepers (and only creepers) would sometimes spawn in there. So I had to be careful whenever I turned a corner because there was a nonzero chance there would be one staring me down like freddy fazbear in my doorway

To combat this I had several cats and a fox named Froyo who wandered my house, but one day every single animal on the server spontaneously died on the spot simultaneously

I had plans to build an exact replica of the house underneath the house, I never finished it though because of time restraints but could you fucking imagine

I really like the farlands, so one day while mindlessly mining out the gaping caverns underneath my house I chiseled a chunk of farlands. So in the dimly lit no-man’s land beneath my home there was (what looked like) a chunk from the farlands just hanging out in there

One day while digging down to look for diamonds or whatever I fell down into an exact replica of the backrooms which someone had for some reason constructed. This thing is genuinely thousands of blocks wide I got lost in there within a minute and it was just Below My House this whole time

At one point I built a house made out of netherite, diamond and emerald blocks on my front yard just because it looked like the kind of thing a kid would make when they first get creative and it made me laugh

Sidenote but my whimsical and goofy reputation meant that I got so much insane stuff for free because nobody was worried about me ever actually using it. One time an admin gave me so many hearts that it covered the left side of my screen and they just forgot to take it away for like a week. I was literally immortal and living in a home made of diamonds and netherite like I cannot stress how rich and powerful I was but all I used my power for was making my house really weird

This goes without saying but there is obviously a herobrine summoner in my basement

The “biome” that started growing in my cavernous mining-area basement was a lush caves biome, which wasn’t actually added into the game yet

On the last day of the server, some newer members were given creative and blew everything up for fun. For some reason they were able to roll back all of the other explosions EXCEPT the ones that destroyed my House

I found a brown mooshroom cow thousands of blocks away, so I lead it back but upon entering the threshold of my Home it literally died on the spot. His grave is still there ☹

One day I logged on and someone had built a giant soulsand Totem in front of my home and lit a bunch of my stuff on blue-fire. Still not sure what that meant

Below my home there’s a box named “containment chamber 1” except why is it called chamber one. That implies that there’s more and I don’t know where they are. Maybe my entire home is a containment chamber

At one point, random blocks in my house started turning into bedrock. This means that you literally could not fully destroy my house no matter what. Also I vividly remember an admin came over to my house to do a HOUSE INSPECTION and get rid of any anomalous blocks, and in a panicked attempt to make my home look normal, I covered all of the bedrock up with trapdoors so they wouldn’t stand out and my house could remain weird. This worked btw. This was also the same admin that PUT THOSE BLOCKS THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE

On literally the first day when I moved into the plot of land that would become my House I found an indestructible, invisible floating block right where I wanted to build

I forgot to mention but my house is both a house, a small village and a whole Area called “Sans County” on account of the giant sans undertale statue that appeared on top of my house one day. Anyway through various geo-political disputes and SMP Lore Stuff that I was barely involved in, I somehow accidentally ended up inheriting almost literally the entire server by virtue of being the last one alive. So by the end of the SMP, the entire server was technically my House

My lovely home :)

Babygirl my minecraft house is fucked up in ways you couldnt even imagine

its probably 8pm, complete darkness surrounds you except the light from your kitchen and your moms virus ridden laptop which sits unhealthily close to your face. youve been scavenging this online multiplayer server for about an hour, talking to random players, getting killed and searching for a place to make your house when suddenly you spot it. your favourite biome.

its not your choice pick anymore obviously, but we didnt have as many biomes back then like we do now. there was no acacia, badlands and dark oak forests. just desert, tundra, plains, swamp, jungle and

the mooshroom biome

a place, typically a small island, with big mushrooms for trees, crazy alien dirt which is solely inhabited by the happy little mooshroom cows who give u infinite soup for just 3 oak planks.

what more could a man want??

in shock, you craft a boat and start frantically paddling over, praying to Slenderman that once you load the rest of the islands chunks in you aren't going to see the insane obsidian walls and lava pools you were traversing previously.

its spotless.. theres even still a few trees.. a cow or two. this is a dream come true! a once in a lifetime chance! if you hadnt been here.. if youd have been online even 30 minutes later surely this place wouldve been dusted. turned into complete RUBBLE. immediately ideas of houses race through your head, you plan on breeding the remaining mshrooms' to make a lush farm of happy cows and revitalizing it to its former glory. your boat inches closer and closer to the "beach" of the island, close enough to swim you hop out of the boat and-

"momma said its my turn on minecraft, she told me to tell you to unload the dishwasher too."

i just fucking unlocked a memory while listening to a minecraft song
