This post is to tell you all about The Nether and the different landscape from the overworld. The Nether is basicly just a bunch of lava and netherrack in a pot. It is a very dark and red place because there is no sun so the only light source is the lava and fire and a little bit of glow stone.

It is the only world that has a ceiling which is made out of netherrack. It can be almost at your head at some points and a 1000 blocks high at others. It is about 20 layers thick and the last one is made out of bedrock so there is no point in digging through it. But if you are in creative and you dig through the last layer you can go through and enter the void. You will die if you go out to far up but if you stay near the bedrock you will be okay. The bedrock actually has mushrooms growing on it which is really neat and interesting. You can also enter the void by digging through the bedrock at the bottom of both the Overworld and the Nether. And in the End there is no bedrock you can just fall through. If you die in the void you can’t get any of your stuff back. 

There are a lot of lava lakes in the Nether that you have to be really carefull. And there a lot of little fire sitting everywhere. My conclusion is that the Nether is very bad for your health and I don’t suggest going there unless there is some thing you need there. I would suggest building your summer home there.

I hope that this helps you get a clear picture of the Nether and I hope you have fun with it. Please let me know any ideas that you have for my next few posts I am going crazy trying to find some new ones.

This is post is to build on what I put in my horse post so if you haven’t read it don’t worry I’ll wait. You done? If so then you are going to love this one. donkey can spawn anywhere a horse can but you will never find natural mules. Because they are a donkey and a horse bred together and it cannot be bred in Minecraft or in real life, it is the only animal like that.

A Donkey is a lot like a horse in compared to the foods they eat and how to tame them but doesn’t look much like a horse. They all look the same unlike horses which can be all different shapes. They are always gray and have long ears. They are all ways a lot shorter than horses. There is one thing that is different in with a donkey is that it’s got a full inventory. You can put in 30 different stacks of items in there once it is tamed and then you can haul twice as much stuff to wherever you are going. 

In creative you only have one mob spawner for the 3 different mobs; donkeys, mules and horses. So you just have to keep spawning different horses to get a donkey or a mule. And you will get them of all ages but don’t worry a foal ,which is a baby horse, takes only 20 minutes for birth to be an adult. But you can’t tame foals till they grow up.

A Mule isn’t used much in Minecraft but it is worth noting any way. You can breed a horse and a donkey together to get one. There isn’t really a difference between a horse and a mule but they are a sciencentifice marvel.

I hope that this helps you get more into donkeys and mules.

This post is here to teach you all about the horse. I like horses in real life but I have only ridden on Minecraft. I am also going to talk about items that are helpful to be used with a horse. But first I will let you know about the animal of the hour himself the horse.

I really like horses but sometimes they can be really hard to find. When you first meet a horse it is wild and it won’t really let you do anything with it. To tame it you need to get on its back by left clicking on it with an empty hand. It will shake you of a couple times and once you see hearts come out then you will have tamed it. Once you have tamed it then you will be able to see its inventory by pressing E on its back then you can put a Saddle

• Saddles are one thing that you need if you want to be ride any animal. You can’t craft them which can be a big setback but the are a kind of common item in spawned chests. They saddle is the only way to be able to steer a horse on its back.  And you can only put it on once it is tamed.

On its back also you can put on a set of horse armor.

• Horse Armor is only one piece but it covers all of the horse. There are 3 kinds iron, gold,and diamond. You can’t craft horse armor either and is found sometimes in spawned chests. 

Your horse can die but you can feed it food to regain its health.

• Sugar heals 1/2 of a Heart
• Wheat heals 1 heart
• Apple heals 1 and a 1/2 hearts
• Golden Carrot heals 2 hearts and breeds them
• Golden Apple or Enchanted Apple heals 5 hearts
• Haybale this is one that really is cool it is wheat on every square of the crafting table. They are only used for horses and I haven’t used them before but they are cool.

I hope that you have learned everything that you want to about horses. If not let me know in the comments.

Today I am going to talk about a couple of monsters that haven’t really been highlighted much before and a little bit on one that is very important. I am talking about The Endermen, Endermites and The Ender Dragon. These all have a big power range but no one notices them much except for the big GrandDaddy to them all The Ender Dragon. First I am going to talk about the mysterious Endermen.

Ender Man

These are helpful because they can give you ender pearls. Enderpearls will teleport you to where you throw them. If you combined blaze powder and an ender pearl you will get an eye of ender that is what you need to unlock the End. Endermen can teleport within a 32 block area as long as they can see it and it is 3 or more blocks high. So you can just make a cage that is 3 blocks high but once you get the endermen in it you make the exit only 2 blocks high. Endermen also eat blocks out of the landscape which locks really weird.

Endermite

These are strange little creatures that I haven’t really met before but they are very interesting. They only spawn once in awhile where something has teleported. They are like little cubes that bounce around. If they touch you they hurt you and they are pretty fast. They also drop ender pearls.

The Ender Dragon

This is often called the big boss of minecraft. I have one piece of advice. Don’t go till you have everything and the kitchen sink to throw at it. You can never have too much stuff to try to kill it. If you want to learn more click here

I hope that you got to learn more about the Ender beasts. Please let me know if there is any thing about minecraft you want to learn.

This post is going to tell you all the base monsters in Minecraft in the overworld but not go into a ton of details. Most monsters are only in the night time and all only spawn in the night. First I am going to talk about the originals but there are a lot of variations that have been made like chicken jockeys.

Witch: These are kind of new and are really fun but watch out because they will throw potions at you if you get near and they can survive in the daylight.

Zombie: These are one of the main monsters of Minecraft because it is so iconic. They can’t live in the sun but there are lots of them at night

Spider: These are passive in day unless you are close to them put can climb up walls but not under walls.

Creeper: This is often seen as the mascot of Minecraft and is easy to avoid if you know what you are doing. They are really slow but can survive in the daylight and will blow up if they are to close to you for more than a few seconds.

Guardian: I don’t have any experience with these myself but they guard the ocean monument and can only survive under water.

Silverfish: These are neat little creatures that pop out of blocks in strongholds and they can lay eggs in cobblestone blocks.

Skeleton: These are one of the most common monsters that are out at night. They burn up in the sun and have long range weapons. (special hint get a skeleton to shoot a creeper then make sure the creeper dies and doesn’t blow up you will get a special item)

Slime: These are often found in swamps and split the first time you hit them into 4 then those split into 2 each. If they touch you they will hurt you and can be in the sun. 

I hope that this gives you a better understanding of the monsters of the overworld. Please put in the comments anything you want to learn about minecraft.

The Desert is a neat place but it can be scary place if you don’t know everything about it. The desert is a very empty place with not much to it. You can often find deserts next to all biomes and sometimes it even snows in the desert which is really weird.

there are only a couple of items that are in the desert but there are a lot of them. The main thing is sand lots and lots of sand. I am guessing that you knew that but what you didn’t know is that underneath all that sand is sandstone that is a good building block. You can only dig out sandstone with a picaxe that is stone or higher. There is also chiseled sandstone and sandstone stairs that you make in the bottom row the middle middle and right and the top right.

The only life you really see is a cactus but there is lots of them. Cactus are good defense measures because they hurt everything touching them not just you. Cactus can’t have anything touching them so you need to put them in a checkerboard pattern. Cactus can only be planted on sand and you just plant a cactus block and it will grow straight up till it is 3 high like sugar cane. If you bake cactus you will get green dye and if you add bone meal to it you will get one of my favorites lime green.

I hope that you have learned enough to brave the dreaded desert and survive. Tell me below in the comments what’s your favorite dye in Minecraft.

This post is here to tell you a couple of items that are not essential to the farming process they will help your farm a lot. These can be used elsewhere but for today I am just going to stick with the farming aspect. 

1: Leash

This is handy tool that is not seen very often but is very useful. if you left click on a animal (or monster but I don’t suggest it because then they will attack you) while holding a lead, and then they have to stay with you within 10 blocks. To make a leash you put a slime ball in the middle middle and string in top left and middle, middle left, and bottom right.

2: Fence

This is helpful with animals because they are 1 and 1/2 blocks tall making them tall enough to hold in animals but low enough to be able to see in. You can also Leash them (see above) and anchor the leash to a fence piece so that the animals will have to stay there. Sometimes I make a fence around my outside crops then you won’t have any monsters in your water source come morning believe me it isn’t pleasant. To make a fence put planks in the middle left and right and in the bottom left and right and sticks in the middle and bottom middle.

3: Gate

This is in tow with the fence because it is the only thing that is 1 and 1/2 block other than the fence. The main reason that you would use a fence as the entrance to an enclosure made of fence. Though you can also put 2 on top of each other instead of a door and then they will appear to be only 1 block high which always feels weird. To make a gate put sticks in the middle left and right and in the bottom left and right and planks in the middle and bottom middle.

I hope that you might have use of these items on your Minecraft farm.

Today I am going to talk all about the system of Minecraft not the actual game but that to do if you need your screenshots or even a world for a different computer. When I got my new computer I wanted to keep all my world so went through all the files to find them and add them to the new Minecraft spot so that they would actually run. It took several tries and some help from the NerdDad so I wanted to tell you guys all about.

The file that you find all of the worlds and saved items is .minecraft which is in your file manager. That is buried super deep so I suggest that you search .minecraft in your files to go to it if that doesn’t work for you here is a different way. Open the Minecraft game and go to options. Then click on the resource packs button. Then the button to open the resource packs files. Then you will be in a file that is in the .minecraft file.

To get a screenshot out of the .minecraft master file. There is a file that is named screenshots. That is what holds the pictures in a Jpeg format. Then you can just copy or cut your  pictures out and put them where ever you choose. The command for taking a picture is F2.

The worlds that you create are in there own file. Then in a little file for 1 world. I suggest you  just copy the file with a separate file then you don’t have to get in the actual makeup of the minecraft worlds. 

If you want to use a beta tester you should make a copy of the world you want to play on unless you wanted to make a new world. To get to a beta tester open the Minecraft launcher. Then click on the button that says edit profile. The click on the checkbox that says “Enable experimental development versions (“snapshots”). And you will have the new update that is isn’t done yet.

I hope that now you can run the files of Minecraft and you can have all of your special pictures.

Today I am going to tell you about different foods to set your minecraft dinner table with. There isn’t a set breakfast or dinner time in a Minecraft day. You basicly just eat whenever you are hungry. There aren’t unhealthy foods in Minecraft. Either you might be sick like if you eat raw meat or rotten flesh (if you drink a bucket of milk you will get better immediately) but there aren’t any other side effects so you could eat cake and it have the same health benefit as bread or meat though it may not fill you up as much.

Bread: This is the most common food  and is one of the easiest to make. You will spend 3 wheat (across the middle of the crafting table) to get one loaf that will give you 5 hunger points. That is a little resource laden for me but it will always work in a pinch.

Cookies:  These are very unusual because the main ingredient is cacao seeds which are only found in the jungle. To make 8 cookies you put a cacao seed in the center and wheat in the left and right middle of the crafting table and you will have 2 hunger points per cookie so that is 16 hunger points for one batch. That makes them a much more profitable to make than bread. To find out more about the jungle click here

Cooked Food: This is a general category because there are a bunch of foods that can just be cooked in a furnace and eaten right then and there. The only vegetable of 2 hunger points if it is cooked that is in this is the potato which you could eat raw but then it is only half a hunger point instead of 2 hunger points.

There are always more to learn about the food of Minecraft.

This post is to fill in anyone who hasn’t used Minecraft before and wants to know more about it. I realized that a lot of people don’t know anything about Minecraft so I decided to fill you guys in.

Minecraft is a world that is basically made out of squares which makes everything fit together nicely. Minecraft is supposed to be a little bit like real life meaning that there are night and day cycles. There are a couple of things that you will need to survive. You will need food unless you are on peaceful but that is an other story for a different post. And you will need a shelter with light.

The main way that Minecraft is not like real life is that there are monsters that spawn in the night that you will have to fight. If you stay in a well light inclosed space you should be okay at night. But be aware that in the day some monsters stay and others are in the shade so you could still be in danger.

One of the other things that make it not like real life is that when you die you aren’t really dead. You will respawn without your stuff either where you started out or your bed.

Minecraft is a game made by Mojang.  You do have to pay about $30 for a minecraft profile but then you can play on any PC as long as you remember your password and E-mail address. The reason I say that is Nerdpud is always forgetting her minecraft password and gets it reset every once and awhile. 

When you start Minecraft you can either have the steve skin or the alex skin which are both fine but sometimes you want to have a bit more style. If that’s you check out this post that will teach you all the steps that are needed to change your skin into something dazzling. 

I hope this post will help you know more about Minecraft. Let me know any questions.
