Tour of Summer Minecraft Realm

 Hello spellcasters!!! I have been locked in my tower on the Minecraft Grind. Here is a tour of my magical minecrafting with my pals on our island.

 

 

The lighthouse built by the keeper, featuring the new nether building to the left and docks to the right. I've been fighting for my life playing bedrock as the PvE is not as 'easy' or smooth than Java. So i've been lighting up the island bcs im tired of throwing hands with the drowned. literally a waste of my mana smh. 

 

 

 

The docks (feat. Harbourmaster Hawk). Alongside my mine and a peak of the farm. All built with my magical hands and pinterest inspo boards. My "house" is in the mine as I have yet to build an actual home. I am saving up resources to build a spire to look upon this island town. 

 

Here is the community farm, I wanted to keep the mountain and change in elevation. So instead of carving the mountain out I terraformed and built the farm in the general shape of the slope. Featuring 5 layers of wheat, beetroot, carrots, and potatos. Pumpkins are being grown off the side if we go to The End. We have, however, started going into the nether in search of a fortress

 

I built this to house our nether portal, as piglins loooove following me out, grabbing onto the curtails of my robe. Thank you pinterest for the shape as

I had limited resources and used deepslate as the foundation, nether bricks as the details, and dark oak as the wood panelings and roof. I am still searching for soil sand to replace the torches with blue lanterns, but I am happy with how it turned out. 

 

 Here is my friends water wheel house. Featuring an open layout and beautiful texturing and detail. 

 

 

The villager trading area, built by the lighthouse keeper. Adorable design for them so thankful its not a 1x4 with a trading station and bed. Oh yeah and then theres 

The Hole

But anyway here are some pics of spawn. This is what I've been pondering my blue light orb over. 

you know we got jeb_ at spawn as always, love you jeb_ <3

youtube rec and art discussion

 Another day another youtube video recommendation

 

I love graphs and I love Skyrim. Any Austin makes the type of weird video game content I would want to make. He talks about when a video game pulls back the 4th wall to remind you of its nature, just because of the limitations in game development. This creator is obsessed (as am i) with the idea of going places the developer didnt intend for you to. If pondering your orb to video game logic interests you, check Any Austin out

It makes me think of Kristoffer Zetterstrand's paintings (He also created the minecraft paintings e.g. the flaming skull). I hope to have a print on my wall some day. Enjoy his abstract paintings circa 2003-ish.

It attempts to recreate that feeling in video games where you reach the edge of what the developers created for you. Its the extremity of their craft where you can see the crude, blocky, and digital frame which they build their art from. I love getting to peak behind the curtain, to see the glitched skybox, textures clashing in ways that dont make sense, to see how utilitarian these devs were.
