Minecraft Items Challenge Attempt 2: The Halloween Update

Welcome to the Halloween Update, I hope your Halloween 2010 was just great.

I actually made a roof for the first time in this challenge. It looks like shit, blame the lack of slabs.

I went fishing and somehow launched a fish 10 million miles behind me

I went to the the nether, grabbed all of the things, here's where I found the soul sand

Made an upgrade to my collection with the Halloween Update section, and I misspelled it, I will not fix this.

and off we go, we are looking for two pumpkins and some snow.

there are the pumpkins, about 300m into a1.2 terrain

here's a gravel beach on top of a cave, perfect for a 404 challenge

almost exactly 2km into alpha chunks, I found the world's smallest tundra, and then got rid of it.

the forest fire was much larger on my way back

here's the border between the a1.0 terrain and the a1.2 terrain.

and here's how classic minecraft acts at random sometimes. this game simply wasn't programmed.

on the other side, terrain that looks this good is super rare even post Caves & Cliffs

I did not recognize the mountain range I was stumbling across for the last few hundred meters, so I assumed my chunks were overwritten again, but I'm safe.

And here's all of Alpha 1.2, Raw Cod, Cooked Cod, Netherrack, Glowstone Dust, Glowstone, Soul Sand, Snow Ball, Snow, Pumpkin, and Jack 'o Lanturn

and the clock, which I forgot about until I was checking that I got everything for this post

Up Next Minecraft Beta and its dyed wools and various assorted improvements to the quality of the game.

[minecraft-vindicator]

Welp, Fun's Over Guys. Pack It Up.

Bedrock Edition is officially unplayable

My mod's gameplay has too much food.

tag rant but man i fuckin hate the new direction for loz

[txttletale]

hey what DO you watch on youtube? seems like you'd have some neat recommendations :3

i really loathe the like super-highly edited sound effect post-mrbeast slop most of youtube is now so i mostly like stuff that's like... calm and sedate. stuff i've been watching lately in no particular order:

northernlion vods and clips. he's an OG. i especially like his react court series, i must have watched all of them like five times.

speaking of OGs i've been watching zero puncutation (now fully ramblomatic) for like ten years and if anything it's only gotten better. best game review content on the internet. been really enjoying his more recent, slightly longer and more thoughtful 'extra punctuation/semi-ramblomatic' series too.

any austin's skyrim unemployment rate videos. instant classics to me, it's just a guy going around in skyrim trying to figure out the unemployment rate in every town. it's a very dry kind of humour, he plays it admirably straight, and it's weirdly calming.

kitten arcader's foot the bill videos. in a kind of similar vein, he watches the saw movies and then produces an itemized bill for everything jigsaw needed to buy to make his traps. it's kind of like... if cinemasins was fundamentally curious instead of fundamentally incurious, it scratches a similar sort of nitpicky detail-oriented quantifying itch but without inimical to the concept of art.

shuffle up and play. it's a magic the gathering play series that has enough editing that the gamestate is actually legible but not enough editing (or at least, not enough obtrusive in-your-face editing) that its annoying. i also like that they reguilarly play non-edh formats like cube and pauper.

spice8rack. i'm pretty picky about video essays but spice8rack has very obviously actually read books and has interesting things to say about the topics it discusses (mostly magic: the gathering). sometimes it has a kind of grating Theater Kid Energy but the fact that it actually meaningfully structures essays and analysis to earn the silly long runtimes is a rare delight from a video essayist.

jenny nicholson is a long-time favourite and another permanent fixture in my rotation. she's just extremely, remarkably funny which makes her the only 'basically just summarizing a thing' youtuber i think is worth the time of day.

i watch some sketch comedy, mainly wizards with guns and aunty donna, who both consistently put out really funny stuff that's kind of ITYSL-adjacent in its barefaced absurdism and contenmpt for concepts like "stopping a joke at the logical punchline". i also really like alasdair beckett-king and binging the old clickhole backlog for short-form comedy on youtube.

wolfeyvgc is right on the edge of the level of editing i find tolerable but as a long-time fan of multiple esports he Has It, he's absolutelyt fantastic at t elling the narrative of a tournament, explaining plays clearly, and generally making competitive pokemon esports thrilling and interesting ti someone (me) who#s never played it and doesn't care about pkoemon that much

i religously watch every elliespectacular/dathings YTP, the absolute best in the game right now, top tier snetence mixing and really good at actually setting up and paying off jokes in a way it feels like a lot of ytp doesn't. verytallbart is also pretty good.

trapperdapper is a channel i recently binged, it's a really fucking funny parody of minecraft challenge content that veers slowly from obvious angles of parody into pure absurdism with tons of blink-and-you'll miss it subtle visual gags.

too much future is a great youtube series where the two guys from just king things/homestuck made this world play through every fallout game and analyze them in that context. extremely funny and also just top-tier very sharp analysis. really good

another one of the rare good video essayists is jan misali. they're really funny and will go into topics that kind of seem narrow or strange to begin with in such depth and make them so interesting that it's consistently astonishing.

oh and finally sarah z makes pretty good videos. 'the narcissist scare' is an absolutely brilliant deconstruction of one of the most annoying pop-psych phenomena of the last couple years. and remarkably well script supervised i think did anyone else watch it and think 'wow the script supervisor on this must have been, a mind geniuse'

ok i think that's all i've been watching lately. hope you like whcihever of these recs you check out :)

28 Days of Devotion

It's February, or soon at the time of this post being published, so I figured I'd make a February themed challenge. (Though you can do this whenever or do it all in one go)

The point of this challenge is to perform 28 days of devotional acts, some a bit more time consuming than others. The most of it is just talking about your chosen guide though as a devotion. Every 5 days there's an extra challenge, something to do versus just answering a question.

So, pick a guide, or multiple, for the 28 days, and let's go!

01 : Pick your guide or guides that you'll be doing this challenge for, and talk about them! Explain who they are. 02 : Make a devotional playlist. It can be as short or as long as you'd like. What song(s) on it reminds you of them the most? 03 : What drew you to this guide in the first place? 04 : Who approached who first?  05 : Tell the story of how you met or first talked. If you've taken an oath or anything like that, tell the story.  06 : Write a devotional poem. 07 : Tell the story of your favorite memory with them. 08 : What things do you associate with this guide? 09 : What sorts of things do you generally rely on this guide for? 10 : What’s something that they helped you with that you still really appreciate to this day? 11 : Write a spell based on them. If you don't do magic, instead write a prayer intended to ask for something.  12 : What are some non-altar items you own that you associate with them or that they’ve claimed ownership of? 13 : What’s your guides favorite meal? If they don't eat, their favorite offering? 14 : What’s your “strangest” UPG? 15 : What’s a UPG that you got from someone else? 16 : Write a letter to them. 17 : What do you typically offer up to them? 18 : If you had the freedom, money, and space, what is the most extravagant offering you would make?  19 : What’s the oddest thing you’ve offered up to them? 20 : How often do you typically make offering? How often do you typically pray? 21 : Make a moodboard for them. 22 : What’s something you wish other people understood about this guide? 23 : What’s your favorite story about this guide? 24 : What about this guide resonates with you the most? 25 : What kind of relationship do you have? 26 : Make a digital altar in your medium of choice (Tumblr, pinterest, Minecraft, etc). If you already have one, add more to it. If you feel comfortable, share a picture of it. 27 : How often do you interact with them? Do you interact directly or indirectly? 28 : Wildcard: Talk about whatever the heck you want to here.

rewatched the entire pvp civ series just to see how many times evbo died and how he died

Soo

spoilers

Minecraft but I survive in PVP CIVILIZATION (ep1)

Wanted to also buy the video journal machine but didn't realize he was low on durability so his compulsive purchase quite literally killed him

Minecraft but I LEVEL UP in PVP CIVILIZATION (ep2)

Killed by Tabi

Minecraft but I become the HERO of PVP CIVILIZATION (ep3)

Killed by his guard friend because he purposely didn't pay his daily attack

Died trying to kill someone with a V1 skin

His iron sword broke while he's hitting the armor stand to buy the PvP mansion

Fall damage (1st time descending to level 4 / golden sword level)

Minecraft but I get CAPTURED in PVP CIVILIZATION (ep4)

Fall damage (2nd attempt descending to level 4 / golden sword level)

Died 'a lot of times' trying to descend to level 4.

He also said 'everytime i've jumped so far' before jumping backwards

360 jumped

Killed by Tabi (had to get to the shopping area before the iron sword level)

Fall damage (waterfall hit an invisible barrier and suddenly stopped flowing)

Willingly fell down the entry to lvl 4 because he had to buy more items to test his theory

Fall damage (dropped down with an iron chestplate)

Fall damage ("Well, that was a lot of work for nothing. I'm beginning to think there actually is no way to level 4")

Broke his sword on the armour stand used to pay respect for the chosen one

Killed by Ferre

Minecraft but I become the BEST in PVP CIVILIZATION (ep5)

Killed by the iron sword who speaks pvp

He does say 'everyday so far', implying that he has been killed multiple times off screen by the iron swords and Ferre

He admitted that 'there are times' where he died from fall damage because he didn't land on the chiseled stone brick

Killed by Ferre

Killed by PrinceZam

Killed by Ferre

Killed by an iron sword (this one prolonged his suffering a little)

Hit the wrong armor stand in the 2nd room of the golden sword level

The challenge in the 2nd room is timed, he hit the 1st armor stand but didnt immediately hit the 2nd armor stand

Hit the 1st and 2nd armor stand, waited out to test his theory, died

4th attempt of the 2nd room

"I think I'm on my 52nd attempt or something, I don't know. I think I lost count a while ago."

Failed to land on the next platform after hitting the 1st armor stand in the 4th room (the 2nd trial at the golden sword level)

"So far it's been multiple attempts to say the least. I'm not gonna say the specific number, but all I can is it's uhh it's pretty high."

^ As he says this, he failed to land on the next platform after hitting the 2nd armor stand

Didn't hit the 3rd armor stand fast enough

Fell down from a pillar parkour

Failed to jump on a trapdoor

Failed to water bucket clutch at the 3rd trial

Purposely hit an armor stand at the center of a room in the golden sword level until his sword broke

SO just to make this easier for myself; Evbo's total death count THAT WAS SHOWN ON SCREEN as of ep5 is 32

32!!! Who knows how many times he ACTUALLY died!! (im betting that its close to 100 cough what who said that)

Also pretty unrelated but i noticed that when he's telling his progress to the video journal machine in ep5 (especially during the water bucket clutch) he just sounded so tired of it lmao

Anyway do what you want with this info

And pretty please tell me if i somehow missed a death <33

The Seven as Minecraft player types

Annabeth- The builder. You would think the game's limits would at least prove somewhat of a challenge to her, but she’s somehow mastered the ability to make builds that don’t even seem to be made of squares anymore. You just know she’s one of those people making those giant castles where you have to turn up your render distance to even see them fully.

Leo- Redstone builder. He'll spend the first hour in the mines, but the minute he walks out, he's ready to go to work. He and Annabeth are a force to be reckoned with when they start working together. They will have you sitting there trying to figure out how what you just saw was a part of Minecraft and not some entirely different game.

Hazel- The farmer. She hates going anywhere near the mines, but she’s got the most impressively efficient farm systems you’ve ever seen. All of this is for her real end goal of creating the fastest horse possible on every single world.

Frank- The Pvper. He’s a force to be reckoned with and most of the others have given up trying to beat him in any capacity. He spends most of his time working as a bodyguard for Hazel or collecting mob drops for the others needs.

Jason- The Explorer, the minute he joins a world, that boy is GONE. You ask him where he is at any point, and he’s at least 5k blocks from the nearest player. He will eventually show up with the most insane loot, but that is just so he can drop things off before vanishing again.

Piper- The Achievement Hunter. She is locked into this game and surprisingly great at it. You’d think she’s speed running with how quickly she’s flying through the game. She will always be the first to the nether and the end and almost never has a house, just a collection or weird builds designed specifically to help her with whatever she's working on

Percy- The resource collector. He’s much more likely to bounce between different activities than the others. One minute he’s trying to fight Frank, the next he’s helping Piper try and get some very specific achievement, and then he’s desperately trying to find Jason. The minute Annabeth even mentions she wants a certain type of block, he is laser-focused and won’t even think about doing anything else until he’s got an inventory full of said items.

- He wouldn't really be mean to you

- He's secretly hoping you kiss him to shut him up

- Would buy you and him matching jewelry

- Your name in his phone would probably be "player 1"

- Or something cheesy like that

- He loves being cringey and cheesy with you

- He's just really comfortable around you and loves you

- Sometimes he might not know how to express it because of how extreme it feels

- But he does get the point across eventually

[pathological-runaway]

the elders playing minecraft:

daleth:

spends 98% of their time building

their constructions aren't that pretty but they have a lot of fun

spends the remaining 2% of the time chasing after creepers that keep destroying their house

switches to creative and peaceful as soon as they're told these exist (which happens A LOT later)

is a noob. the 'explodes the desert temple' and 'accidentally throws away items because they misclicked' kind of noob

really slow, which means they mostly play alone, which is not a problem for them at all

is so engrossed in the game they forget they have to eat and sleep

ayin:

has 360204 bees and 218400 cats. all with names and houses

builds a house in the most beautiful area ever

is nice to spiders and piglins but won't hesitate to defend themself if attacked

probably tried to mine diamonds with a stone pickaxe on some point

super organised. everything has its own chest

gets lost 24/7, even if they're just 20 blocks away from their house

accidentally got a village raided once, couldn't help and walked away in shame

teth:

tries to speedrun and fails every time

probably tried to sleep in nether on some point just because someone had told them not to

took a few dogs to the mines. all died. never recovered from this

the type of person who would explode their enemies with tnt rather than kill them the normal way

pretty good at redstone and uses it for big epic doors

can remember everything except for crafts. coordinates? easy. redstone mechanisms? of course. place of death? no problem. how to make a boat? no idea

probably tried to replicate their realm in minecraft but burnt out after 5 hours

samekh:

trolls that got banned from all the existing servers

speedrun but with cheats

play with crazy modpacks that make zero sense to anyone but them

probably were the ones to get others into playing

know everything about everything. besides how to tame horses

build huge and unnecessary stuff like 10 villas and 5 castles. and also 6 pixelarts of themselves, probably

pester teth about helping them with automitised farms

die every 5 minutes because they're too reckless

never sort their chests and have random stuff in their inventories

tsadi:

follows through on every plan and has all achievements

the only person who goes to end prepared

lives in a dirt box even after all this time because they prioritise efficient farms, easy to navigate mines and other stuff

never has full inventory

gives full armor and tools to their friends if they join

used to enjoy raids because they're challenging and require a strategy

...needless to say, having a war right in their realm made minecraft raids disgusting and triggering

...burnt out and tired, they mostly explore now. it calms them down

lamed:

"why is it like this? it makes no sense" about 80% of the game

has a weird organisation system no one else understands

very good at pwp

no monster scares them

always mixes up buttons

really invested in trading with villagers and takes this activity more seriously than anyone on the planet

the design of their house, mines, and everything else is a nightmare

...somehow, despite this, they're pretty efficient

tries to figure out stuff on their own, without any help, with leads to Epic Fails

has been playing since alpha

can't catch up on new updates. still surprised when they see turtles

[ithefoolofweeds]

I am currently mentally a wreck and seeking solace in Night in The Woods, so I found it fitting to do my next artstyle challenge as such

Added to it is my best friend, who is very bat-coded. She's a secretive, recluse hiding the cave that is her apartment. I swear getting any information from her is like chasing a minecraft bat lmao. 14 years and i still barely know her interests. I love her very much and she has platonic Stockholm syndrome for me lmao

I would have added my bandana which is quickly becoming a standard item in my daily getup, but I can't make it work with the nitw style but oh well

Minecraft Items Challenge Alpha 1.0 Part 5

The word of the day is travel, I am looking for Sugarcanes in a world where water in extremely rare. This legitimately took me about 6 hours.

My first idea for looking for sugar canes was trees along a coast, I figured sometimes ice might not freeze if there are leaves above the shore.

There are 4 somewhat rare items that I need to find in the overworld, The 2 types of mushrooms, Cactus, and Sugar Canes. The Red Mushroom is the first of those four, not even 75m from my base.

Headed back to my base because I left right before night fell, Minecraft before beds is a lot of waiting, this is when I started researching sugar canes in Winter Mode Worlds, I did not find anything yet

And that's surface exploration item #2, the Cactus.

I found this mountain and figured there might be a lot of overhangs on it because of how tall it is, where I found both of the ways water spawns in winter worlds, both in Gravel Beaches and in overhangs

After this, night fell again, and I did a little bit of mining while night passed. Got myself my first full set of iron armor, which will start to break by the end of this post and will end up in the collection.

I found this weird world gen thing, Ice only generating on the surface level, I think this is a quirk of lake worldgen.

Surface exploration Item #3, The Brown Mushroom. the worst fungus in minecraft to this day, love this guy.

about 150 minutes after that last image, I finally found sugarcane, this is the only block of water anywhere near here, super lucky. I wasn't even excited at this point, this was like 30 minutes before I had to get dressed for work and I wanted to make it back to base before I needed to leave.

Later, when I got back home, I finally found my base after being very nearly lost for way too long.

I did a bunch more mining and farming today, as well as crafting up anything I had all of the materials for, adding a bunch to my collection.

I added the Oak Fence, Wheat Seeds, Oak Boat, Raw Porkchop, Stick, Wooden Shovel, Wooden Hoe, Ladder, Wooden Axe, Wooden Sword, Stone Axe, Stone Pickaxe, Stone Hoe, Oak Stairs, String, Gold Ore, Iron Pickaxe, Milk Bucket, Bow, Iron Boots, Iron Leggings, Iron Chestplate, Iron Helmet, Block of Diamond, Book, Sugar Cane, Bookshelf, Stone Button, Stone, Oak Sign, Oak Pressure Plate, Oak Log, Painting, Paper, Brown Mushroom, Red Mushroom, Lever, Cactus, Redstone Torch, Wheat, White Wool, Bread, Bowl, Chest, Crafting Table, Golden Boots, Stone Pressure Plate, and the Jukebox (I accidentally put two ladders in the chest, this has since been fixed). I now have a total of 94 items, or 72% of Minecraft Alpha 1.0

Living in a Minecraft jungle has it's challenges, (looking at YOU, 1 million vines) but the vibrant, lush grass and the soft beauty of the jungle wood make it so worth it!

We needed a place to store all of our items, and here's our storage house for Castaways SMP! Watch on YouTube here

[ju-lie-mine]

MINECRAFT HEADCANONS FOR DANDYS WORLD TOONS

Scraps tries to tame ocelots, but she doesn't know its no longer a thing...

Razzle and Dazzle are building houses because they can't really do combat (they cant cooperate THAT well... yet)

Brightney is obsessed with lighting up area so no hostile mobs spawn, she is also responsible for chest sorting!!

Vee is... autofishing. Dandy told her that's cheating, she doesn't stop. She is also knowledgeable in redstone mechanisms and other types of autofarms.

Toodles tries to spawn Herobrine... We all tried that, Toodles.

Shrimpo broke Vee's mob farm, he insists that not fighting mobs vanilla style is stupid!!!

Boxten tries to follow Vee's steps in redstone, he already made his own doorbell for his house!!

Finn and Shelly are both traveling world and trading rheir loot with other Toons and each other. Finn loots at ocean (corals, fishing loot, ocean monuments), Shelly loots underground and in... Nether? Wow!

Finn also has his own fish tank and axolotl tank

Poppy combats most of the time, sometimes does PvP with Shrimpo

Cosmo and Sprout are always busy farming and they gladly buy saplings from Shelly who just happens to get some on her way back from travel! Because they always forget to collect saplings when leaves despawn.

Gigi tries to parkour her way through basalt deltas every time, and every time she loses her loot in lava

Looey does goofy stuff like using invisibility potions and equipping elytra with wither skull to look like a fly!! He also uses anvil a lot to rename items into goofy names

Tisha is often busy repairing creeper holes or moving blocks from Brightney's chests to RnD's

Glisten complains about his 20 fps lag, but he also has shaders stronger than his pc can handle. He also has lots of flowers, dyes and personal sheep farm!

Teagan and Rodger brew potions and mine in caves together, theyre having fun there hehe

Connie builds lag machines right next to Vee's house, she also messes around with other Toons' chests, making them unable to find their own stuff, even though nothing was taken

Goob doesn't play, too hard with his hands! But he watches Scraps play and runs from Toon room to Toon room irl. He will later play with vr headset! Goob likes it this way becayse sittingnat computer desk gives him backache.

No one knows where Flutter is... but at one point they noticed "Flutter has completed the challenge [How Did We Get Here?]" in the chat

Astro also mines in caves, he has his own underground base where Rodger and Teagan sometimes rest when they don't feel like going all way up. He got a lot of amethysts and glowberries growing here!

Dandy comes up with ideas and lore for their server. He is also the one to record and stream!

[panda-wearing-pants]

3rd Life but it's opposite or something

I think there should be a building game show for Minecraft. Like Lego Masters, most cooking shows, etc. Like listen. I think fighting is cool and all, and I myself was raised on watching bed wars and Minecraft hunger games and all that, but like also… builder are insane? Like I love watching, Empires, Hermitcraft, other big builders (and redstoners for that matter) because I’m so fascinated by how their brains work???? Like you’re telling me Bdubs took some dirt and made a literal mountain as a BACKDROP for his build in a season??????? Bro????? Like I want some builders to go head to head in a building challenge.

Like, okay hear me out, each week their “building themes” could go from mimicking IRL architecture styles - medieval, French colonial, minimalism, etc - OR could rely on game mechanics. Like you gotta make a build, but it must include five red stone functions - could be as simple of auto lighting and stuff - all the way to farms included into the make of the build!

Judging wise, I think that would be the hardest thing to pin down, because the issue with Minecraft building is that there are a lot of factors when it comes to the concept of building because every builder has an inherent “style” they have and so to compare isn’t necessarily fair???? Because what one person likes may not be the same as another person, so I don’t believe you can judge inherently on how a build looks, but more so if it fits the criteria - did you do your research and keep to the prompt 100% or did you take some liberties in the favor of making it seem stylistically “better” - also, while I am inclined to be like “hey look we could have it audience choice” I am aware that in previous Minecraft events - every tournament event live-streamed like ever - every YouTuber is gonna have bias on their side, and if there is someone with a larger viewership that others, there is of course going to be favor towards them. The ONLY way I could see this being different is if it was all pre-recorded and episodic, but I still believe there would be a heavy amount of bias if someone was on the show with more viewership than others. We would want it to be fair. I do think audience participation is important though, and should be a major inclusion! Like, before an event is to occur I think it would be fun to choose the prompt of what they’re building that week, but the contenders just can’t tweet/say/promote one they wish to do, so it is STRICTLY up to the audience without bias.

Also, I think everyone should come out a winner, not in the “No one came out on top because we are all equal” way - because while that is important it is still a tournament, and as we’ve seen in literally every competition show ever there is always a first place winner - but more so in the, while you didn’t win, let’s reflect on how you are still fantastic and getting something out of this. I know it sounds a little basic, so I do think it would need to be extrapolated on. But I wouldn’t want anyone who “loses” to just go away with “you got clout” award. You were featured on the show, that’s inherent, you deserve more than that, again this can be fleshed out later, but they deserve more too, somehow.

Also for the finalists - I’m thinking either 3 left or 2 left - it should be a mega build level prompt. Could be something like “build a city!” Or just “build a mega base with x block being the main block” and, again, not sure how it would be judged, but winner comes out, with second/third place having some reward as well, not as good, but still considerably great. I also think it would be fun to have prior contestants come on and have to participate in the “here is your block that I got to choose for you” to add some spice to it. IDK what the prize would be, I know it is normally money, and while it could be that, I think it would be more fun to have something a little different that would still be fun and a true “winners” item. Again, not sure what it could be, but it would need to hold to the truth of “oh, hey, this is a true prize and its still fun and I’m getting something out of this!”

Anyhow, enjoy the strange thoughts of my brain and if any streamers/youtubers are out there reading this, lemme know what you think cuz I’m curious. Do I think I could ever do this? Probably not cuz I’m an opera singer doing my masters so time is bet a dream to me at this point, but like. I think it is interesting and would love opinions on it just from the standpoint of discussion. I streamed at one point, maybe I’ll start back up again one day if only to have fun. I feel like that should be what it is, fun, that is the most important thing at the end of the day and builders should have some competitive fun too!

Also, I will admit that I am obviously not knowledgeable on everything - again opera singers not full time Minecraft anything - so I don’t know if something like this has been done before, and while I think it would be cool if something like this existed, it may already exist and I quite simply don’t know! Thoughts, opinions, anything else?

Anyway, if anything, have a good day!
