This is one of the most important items in all of Minecraft if you have wood, cobblestone and food you will probably never want for anything. If you look around anywhere under ground you will find Cobblestone.

When you cook Cobblestone it turns into stone which is what you mine Cobblestone out of. I really like the look of Stone so I use it a lot. If you don’t care about what your buildings look like at all like NerdDad than you really have no use for Stone at all except to mine Cobblestone from it.

There are a lot of things that you can build with Cobblestone so I am just going to run with the basics. I like to put stairs on me staircases when I have extra Cobblestone which make it so that when I go up my staircase you don’t have to jump you can just walk straight up and it will make you go up a lot quicker. to make it you will put Cobblestone on the bottom row, on the middle middle and right, and on the top right.

I like to use Cobblestone slabs for decorating. They are really good for making pools and fountains because they add a lot of layers that you don’t get with the regular blocks. I like to make the steps into my pool with Cobblestone slabs because you can walk up them like stairs because they take up only half a block worth of space. To make it you just need to put a layer of Cobblestone across the middle of the crafting table.

You can do a lot with cobblestone and I hope you will look around to find out what else you can build with it.

This is the first of a series of posts that are going to be all about the Avengers. Today I am going to talk about Captain America and how you can be more like him. He is the easiest Avenger to be like, in Minecraft because you can become stronger with a potion and use a shield and get really good at fighting and “the Avengers might ask you personally to work with them fighting Minecraft crime”. (What? It could happen in some parallel universe)

In the new update of 1.9 they made a shield which is awesome! Before this, the only thing you could protect yourself with was armor. You can make a shield with planks in the top left and right, across the middle and in the bottom middle and with an iron ingot in the top middle. You can craft it again with a banner to get that pattern and colors on it. You can’t make Captain America’s shield  so far but this is pretty cool already.

There is no super-soldier program so far (everyone makes frowny face) but you can get pretty close. I think that you are going to mix a couple of potions to get what Captain America has got going there but I think we can get pretty close. First we are going to use the Strength potion because Captain America is a really  strong guy (But once you get to Hulk he is a regular guy) then we need the Jump potion and the Speed potion because Captain America has super agility. Which is pretty epic.

You can make armor that looks like Captain America but they do not have any stars or stripes on them. You can dye leather armor to make them red, white, and blue so you can look and fight like Captain America.

I hope that this will help you get drafted in to the Minecraft Avengers(if that really exists) and helps you improve your fighting.

This is a cool biome that I have done a lot with but it isn’t my favorite biome because I don’t like the colors in it. It is a very orange and gray biome which is cool but just not my taste. This is a good place to start out at because it has trees and a good open area for building your house. While the savannah has most of the resources you will want it is kind of mundane because it normally has only one type of tree.

Have you ever noticed that in different biomes the grass is a different color. In the savannah the grass is a very tan almost a brown green. Most animals can be found in this biome and there is often an abundance of  cows and pigs. 

This is a rather good biome for tree houses. Because most of the land is really flat so if you want to have any kind of natural height that is the best way to go.  Acacia trees have sort of a stair pattern in most of their trunk which makes them good trees to build tree houses in. You could even just knock one hole in the leaves and build your house on the leaves using them as floor if you would like.

I think that this can be a helpful biome if you keep near the edge of it. Because it is a very big biome and you can get lost very easily because there is not many landmarks just trees and grass not even hills to keep track of  so be careful out there or you could get really lost.

I hope that this gives you some helpful insight into the minecraft savannah.

Today we are going to talk about the prairie’s of Minecraft. They are a lot like prairie’s in really life with not much to them other than grass and weeds. I like the prairies for  building a home in but they are pretty much useless when it comes to resources. There are sometimes pools there which help out but if you can at all I suggest you live on the edge of this biome until you get pretty far in the game.

I think that the best place to spawn is in an area on the edges of the forest and prairie biome. Because you can get most of your basic resources from the forest but one of the safest places to live is the prairie. Because there is no shade. There is nowhere for monsters to hide. There might be a lot of creepers around but not really any that hang out at night because they all will burn up. Also you might get a lot of resources for that because when a monster dies then it will drop its items on the ground which can be really helpful.

When you are making a house on the prairie you need to be mostly concerned with the location. If you want to have home that you won’t be leaving for days at a time you need to make a good decision when you place your house. I suggest finding somewhere with an open area and near a forest. I try to be near a pool but that is not so much of a priority. I think that you should try to have a nice area around you if you wanted to get animals that would be helpful.

I hope that this post helps you know what to do if you spawn in the Prairie. Please tell me if there is any biomes you would like to know about.
