Week 3 in minecraft summary

The last week, was my 3rd week of playing minecraft, and i have to tell that i would like to talk about a new proyect of my brother and me, because this new proyect is really cool, we created in our world a new building, a castle, or something like that, we first selected the place to build it, i decided a high place like a mountain, first we cleaned it and put in the high level of a mountain a base where tu put the castle, a base made of dirt, when we made the base, we recollected lots of wood, because it would be neccesary, to build our castle.

We made the first floor, no problem with it, we decorate it, using windows, big windows, and some lighting pumpkins, my brother made that pumpkins, because that was something new for me, we finish in two days the first floor, then we continued our proyect, making more taller the building to make a second floor, and so we did, just like the first floor we didn´t effort to make it, we just put wooden planks, the hard part is to decorated it just like we wanted it, we put windows, and then we separate the floor in two rooms, where in each room we will sleep, my brother in one room and me in the other room, but this second floor wasn´t our goal.

I had the idea to make a rooftop where we will build like a tower that will reach the clouds, in the roof we put in the borders, woods to make the building to look more like a castle, then after this, i started to make the tower, it was little but taller, it not took me a lot of time to reach the clouds, and when i reach them i make a base where to put a bed and then sleep on it.

when we finish all this building we decided to mine down of our castle to find some materials to decorate our building, so we did we recollected some iron and gold, and then we created like rails and a minecart, and we used them to have fun and travel around the house or only to travel in circles but with a high speed, that was very cool.


this is our castle you can appreciate the tower in the roof of the castle, and the lighting pumpkins and the big windows, as i said we build it on a high mountain, this castle is really cool.

this photo i take it when my brother was using the minecart for the first time, it was funny because i was like pushing it to gave to my brother the speed to run with the minecart in circles.

my minecraft experience, summary of this week

Monday
after finish all my homework, i asked to my brother if he wants to play minecraft with me, the answer was an inmediatly yes, because my brother loves this game, we started in a new map, that we have never play before, we started from cero, we decided first to collect some wood and coblestone, because our plan is to make a very huge house, with different materials, by the time that we were collecting, i saw a very huge mountain, and then, it comes to my mind an idea, the idea of modify all that mountain, and transform it into a building, a building of dirt, we make a house near to that mountain, a very small house of dirt, with two beds and four chest, we will live there until we finish our proyect, we decided to start it the next day, and so we did.

Tuesday
The day come and so we decided to continue with our proyect, i said to myself that this will take, a lot of time because, mining a huge mountain was not easy and fast job, i knew it, but my little brother don´t, so i decided to leave to my brother the task of searching materials, and when the mountain is finish, we will decorate it with columns, stairs and anything that comes to my mind, but the hard part is to mine all the mountain, it took to us like ten minecraft days, because we have to stop working at night because of monsters, after we finish we leave like a flying plataform, minecraft don´t know what gravity is, so we leave it like that to continue other day.

Thursday
i decided not to play on wednesday, because i have that day, music class, and i return to my house very late, so the floating plataform, was there, floating, defying the law of gravity, so, i ask to myself what could we do to decorate this plataform, i first thought to put like columns that connect the plataform with the floor, and so i did, when i put the first three columns i started to like the idea, and i thought that it will looks great, the columns were made of dirt, because i had numerous of dirt blocks, and because i dont like to through blocks to the trash, i wanted to use every block that i mine, and so i did it, i use every block of dirt, the plataform transformed into somekind of greek "partenon" of dirt, we decided to leave it like that and to continue with the stairs the next day we play.

Friday
this day because it was friday, i decided to play minecraft with my friend, in the map that we made last week, to continue our adventure in the ender world, so we use a lighter to activate the portal, but we thought, "if we go without any armor we will die easily", so my friend and i, use all our iron to make, helmet, boots, pants and armor of iron, we were ready to enter to the ender world, but before enter to the portal, we made swords of iron, to kill every enemy on the way, the time has come, and both enter to the portal and then we appear in the ender world.

the ender world was like hell, full of lava and some kind of red blocks, we see no monster when we enter, but we were prepare for surprises, we were lucky to saw a precipice near the portal, if we fall we will die because of the lava, every step has to be calculated and careful, we appear in a very delicate place, we have to watch every step because the holes aren´t easy to see, in our way i saw like some blocks that shine, i    didn´t  know if i could recollect it, so i tried, i made a careful jump, to get where the blocks were, i destroyed     one, a block that was infront of me, then after recollect it, my friend said that it looks dangerous and that i should go back, my intentions were to go back after recollecting the shining blocks, but i made the mistake of destroying the block that was in my feet, because of this i fell down to the lava river, i lost my armor, my swords, and the shining blocks, but thank god i didn´t carry all my precious things, after this event my friend return to the normal world and we decided to leave it like this because i was really dissapointed of my mistake and because all the stuff that i lost, we decided to continue other day.

Saturday
Trying to forget the past, my brother and i decided to continue our inconclude proyect, my brother recollect a lot of wood, so i make a very good use of it, i made a lot of stairs, to reach the plataform, i put some torches and blocks of wood, in the plataform, on the perimeter we put woods, not planks, and in the woods we put like a block of leaf, that looks very good, but because the plataform was enormous, we have to recollect a lots of blocks of leaf, that was the job of my brother, my job was to make a house in the mittle of the plataform, i wanted to make it of blocks of brix, but i didn´t have enough, so i dedicated to recollect materials to make the brix, we leave the plataform with a half house, but we have no choice and we decided to continue other day.

this picture is of the plataform, you can see the half house, the columns of dirt, the woods and the blocks of leaf.

minecraft journal

Well, hi everyone who read this blog, my name is Antonio, and iam going to write about everything i do on a videogame named "minecraft", my experiences and everything related to this game, so, lets do this !, hope you like it.

We found diamond!

Yesterday, my friend and i, played minecraft on the xbox, my friend has no experience in this game so i dedicated to teach him how to play, and he quickly learn the basics. While i was teaching him how to play, i was earning some wood to turn them into wooden planks, to make a house, the question was, where will we build the house?, well, the answer was right infront of us, a shore,  why a shore?, well thats because i like to put my houses infront of some kind of lake, the lake must be as big as this one that i choose, i like to do this because you get a very beautiful view from your house, so the shore was selected, the ground was full of sand, and i started to build the house with the wooden planks, while my friend was recollecting more wood, the night was coming and monsters start appearing, i only finished to build the first floor of the house, enough to survive at night, i told my friend to stop cutting trees and to come back to the house, because monsters will kill him, and so he did, the house was empty, so we create a crafting table and with all the wooden planks recollected, we made a chest where we can save our items, after this we noticed that we forgot to build beds to skip the night and continue at the dawn of the other day, because of this we have to wait until the sun comes out. Finally a new day start,  i dedicated to finish the house, while my friend was diging, he made a very big hole near the house, when i finished my job i decided that it was time to start mining. With some coblestone that my friend recollected, we made our peaks, and, remember that big hole that my friend made?, well we started mining from that big hole, we mine and mine, a lot, we recollected a lot of iron, some gold, and lots and lots of carbon, we keep mining, with the hope of finding some diamond, we made like a competition to look who finds diamond first. in the hole that i was mining, i found some kind of cave that conducts me to a precipice, with my caution i went down to that precipice, hoping that at the bottom i could find some diamond, at the bottom i started mining, i keep doing this until i found the great diamond, all that i dig to get here worth for it, i found five diamond blocks, i keep them and save them in the chest of my house, minutes later my friend has the same luck as me, and found four blocks of diamond, me and my friend were satisfied and happy because we reach our goal, we save all the nine blocks of diamond in our chest, we end the quest of finding diamond, and we started to build the portal to the ender world, the control of the ender world will be our next goal, just wait, because this is only the beginning....
