Day 28: Alarm System

Today I built a nice little alarm system. Here is a picture:

This is very simple to build. Basically just have a lever connected to a comparator clock. This just goes to a very simple note block system. You can change this to however you want to. To set the note blocks just spam right click and keep going until you think it is good. Anyways, Thank you for reading. If you would like me to blog about something specific or you like what I am posting about, then please let me know in the comments below (I am running out of ideas!)

Day 27: Mini Lighthouse

Today I built a mini lighthouse. Here is a picture:

I just wanted to fill in this space with something nice, so I built this. If you want to build your own, just build the first layer out of white wool. Then the second. Then the third. After that go in and fill in a bit with red wool so it looks like a lighthouse. Next, add a layer out of wood and finally build a little light and cover it with glass. This is pretty simple to build. Anyways, Thank you for reading. If you would like me to blog about something specific or you like what I am posting about, then please let me know in the comments below (I am running out of ideas!)

Day 26: Volcano!

Today I built a nice volcano around the firework dispenser that I made last blog. Here is a picture: 

I built this layer by layer. Basically just doing the first layer out of stone, then the second and just building up. Don't worry too much about if it looks natural or not. Next go back and curve around it adding random blocks and destroying some to get that natural non-man-made look. Then cut out holes right above the firework dispensers so that the fireworks can fly through. Also put signs on these holes so that the lava doesn't flow into them and destroy your redstone. Finally, place one or two buckets of lava. You can experiment with how many buckets you like and what you think looks good. Anyways, Thank you for reading. If you would like me to blog about something specific or you like what I am posting about, then please let me know in the comments below (I am running out of ideas!)

Day 25: Fireworks Display

Today I built something a little bit random. From the title of this post, you can see that I built a fireworks display. Here is a picture

This is super simple to build, It is just a dispenser array with a hopper clock attached. The hopper clock makes it so that every once and a while the dispensers will fire and shoot out a nice link of fireworks. Anyways, Thank you for reading. If you would like me to blog about something specific or you like what I am posting about, then please let me know in the comments below (I am running out of ideas!)

Day 24: Pet Shop and Vending Machine

Today I started out by building a Pet shop. Here is a picture:

Basically, It is just a little area to buy cats and dogs. This is pretty simple to build, just add a frame and roof. I'm not going to get into the details.

Another thing that I built was a vending machine. It is actually right next to the pet store. Here is a picture: 

You just throw a diamond into the hopper. Then a soda (Fire Resistance potion) and a cookie pops out. I built this by just building an item filter, which runs into a comparator. This sends a pulse to the two dispensers which shoots out the cookies and soda. Anyways, Thank you for reading. If you would like me to blog about something specific or you like what I am posting about, then please let me know in the comments below (I am running out of ideas!)

Day 23: Tailor Shop

Today I built a nice little Tailor Shop (Clothes Shop). Here is a picture:

I built this by building a nice little frame out of Dark Oak logs. Then Filling in the walls. Then adding windows. And finally by add the roof. This was pretty simple to build. Sadly I didn't get to finish the interior because I am out of time today. 

Anyways, Thank you for reading. If you would like me to blog about something specific or you like what I am posting about, then please let me know in the comments below (I am running out of ideas!)

Day 22: General Store

Today I built a nice general store. Here is a picture:

Here are some steps to build your own:

Step 1: Build the frame.

Step 2: Fill in the walls.

Step 3: Add some windows.

Step 4: Make the front porch.

Step 5: Add different floors.

Step 6: Add a roof.

Step 7: Decorate the inside.

This turned out really really nice, even if it is a bit plain.

Sorry this blog is so short, I have a lot of homework.

Anyways, Thank you for reading. If you would like me to blog about something specific or you like what I am posting about, then please let me know in the comments below (I am running out of ideas!)

Day 21: Clock Tower, Leap of Hay, Bakery, Trading Booth

Today I started off by building a giant clock tower. Here is a picture:

Here are some steps to build your own: 

Step 1: Build the base. Basically just build the little foundation that it stands on.

Step 2: Build the frame. I built mine out of Spruce logs.

Step 3: Fill in one of the sides with the pattern that you like.

Step 4: Copy the design on each side.

Step 5: Add a roof.

Step 6: Add some nice decorations like lamps and greenery.

That is how to make the clock tower. But if you want to add a leap of hay to it then follow these steps. By the way, the leap of hay is basically just jumping from the top of the tower onto a bale of hay. To make it look nice, copy this picture: 

I recommend making a little cart to make it fit in with your surroundings. 

The next thing that I built was a bakery to store all of my baked goods. Here is a picture: 

I built this by first building the frame, then filling in the walls. Then putting in some windows. Finally, I added a nice roof and decorating the inside.

The last thing that I built was a trading booth. This is a foolproof design. Basically both the traders throw in their items, and when both are satisfied with the trade, they flip the levers. Each person gets what they wanted. Here is a picture or two: 

This was really annoying to build. A lot of trial and error. It is basically just an AND gate with levers and pistons attached. Anyways, Thank you for reading. If you would like me to blog about something specific or you like what I am posting about, then please let me know in the comments below (I am running out of ideas!)

Day 20: Dock Marketplace

Today I built an another dock next to the stables and horse pasture. Except, this time I added a little marketplace on it. Here is a picture:

Here are some steps if you want to build your own!

Step 1: Make an outline for where you want to build. You can always add onto it later.

Step 2: Make the dock. Basically just fill in the outline with lots of blocks.

Step 3: Outline where you are going to build your shops. Make sure that they are not too far apart, but not too close either. 

Step 4: Build the shops. Make sure that your designs fit the build style.

Step 5: Add decoration! Make that baby look good! I recommend using some lamps (glowstone and trap doors) and maybe even vines. 

Anyways, Thank you for reading. If you would like me to blog about something specific or you like what I am posting about, then please let me know in the comments below (I am running out of ideas!)

Day 19: Parkour Obstacle Course

Today I decided to build something a little bit random. From the title, you can tell that I decided to build an obstacle course in the theme of American Ninja Warrior (the TV Show). Here is a picture:

Here are some steps for if you want to build your own. 

Step 1: Build the base frame for your course. Basically, line out the area that you want to build you course in. 

Step 2: Build the walls and fill in the water basin.

Step 3: Place down some markers for where you want to build your obstacles.

Step 4: Build the obstacles.

Step 5: Add an ending point. If you want it to be special, you can add a tripwire connected to a fireworks dispenser. 

Step 6: Add some decorations. Whether it is iron bars around the edge or banners on the top, add something. Unless you don't care how it looks, then....

Anyways, Thank you for reading. If you would like me to blog about something specific or you like what I am posting about, then please let me know in the comments below (I am running out of ideas!)

Day 18: Auto Tree Farm

Today I built an auto tree farm. I got tired of always having to go chop trees so I created this solution. This is not the most efficient farm by all means. It uses a TON of bones. Here is a picture:

This was annoying to build because I was just using trial and error to create it. I just used a dispenser on a clock to dispense the bonemeal. And a load of pistons to push the trees into a big cube. It is pretty simple to make, but it is expensive. If you are making this yourself, I recommend having a skeleton grinder as well. I used a Redstone torch to put a current through the tree. So that when it grows, It is detected and immediately moved away to another pusher, which pushes it into a giant box. This is afk-able also. I definitely will be afk-ing. The only real flaw with it is that it runs out of space very quickly. 

Thank you for reading. If you enjoyed then please leave a comment saying so. I will see you next blog!

Day 17: Marketplace Expansion

Today I built a market place expansion. Here is a picture:

I built two more stalls and a small flower garden thing. I am really trying to add more to the marketplace and maybe later make it actually a functioning device. It would be awesome to get people on to my server and have a group trading event. Anyways, this is all I have time for today, so if you liked, then please follow me in the top left corner of my website. You will get notification about when I post. Also, if you have a Minecraft account and would like to join me, then please go ahead and comment so. Finally, if like what I am doing, or want me to build something in particular, please comment so.

Day 16: Cow Farm, Horse Pasture, and Elytra Tunnel

Today I started off by building a Cow farm. I got tired of always running out of food and having to go hunting. Here is a picture:

I built this by first digging out a large area, then added some cow areas. There are four areas where I can breed cows. All of the baby cows get pushed into a water stream. This water stream has a mob elevator that pushes them to the top. From their they are moved into a killing chamber. There is a small control panel. If press that button, the dispensers dispense water, causing the cows to bob up and down. This makes it easier to breed them. 

The second thing that I built today was a horse pasture. I began to breed lots of horses, and they wouldn't fit in my small stable. Here is a picture: 

This was very simple to build. I started off by flattening some land. Then added a fence around it. I bone mealed the ground to add some grass and flowers. Finally I dug out a little pond and threw in some hay bales. 

The third thing that I built today was an elytra tunnel from my island to another island. Here are some pictures: 

I built this by digging out a small tunnel from island to island. Then I added some TNT, and BOOM! It was finished! Not really... I had to carve out a lot of the tunnel because I kept hitting my head on the top when I flew inside. Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed this blog!

Day 15: Fishhook Island Watch Tower

Today I built a watch tower on Fishhook Island! Here is a picture:

I built it by first building the frame, then building the decorations on the sides (Fences). Finally, building the roof. With this, I can watch out for any intruders on my own personal island! I am going to try to post something about fishhook island every day! Also, on this server, I have built a TON of stuff, just haven't showed it. Tell me if you would like me to take some pictures and maybe do a blog post on it!

Day 14: Fishhook Island

Today I built a small island in the middle of the ocean. I am going to build a small fishing village around it. I named it: Fishhook Island. Here is a picture of the first little dock/hut thing:

I am sorry about not posting a blog yesterday, I was busy. Anyways, I am trying to post a blog every day. I built this by first building the frame/structure. Then I built the dock part, by filling it in. Next, I built the little hut on the side. Finally, I added some details, like vines and boats. Basically, this is a pretty simple thing to build and doesn't take that long. I also looks very nice and fits in well with almost any style of building. Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed! 

Day 13: Brewing Tower/Guard Tower Interior Decoration

Today I decorated the inside of the Guard Tower thing that we built in Day 11. Here are some pictures:

 I just added some chests with item frames, and brewing stands. At the top of the tower, I added a potion dispension system. So that way, if someone is attacking, I can flip the lever and it will fire a potion at the enemy. I also have a bulk potion storage at the top. Anyways I really enjoy this build and am hoping to have a small battle with a friend. Anyways, If you want me to build anything in particular, add a comment saying so (I am running out of Ideas!).

Day 12: Basketball Court

Today for fun, I decided to build a random basketball court. Here is a picture:

Here are some steps to build your own:

Step 1: Find a basketball court online that you like and want to replicate.

Step 2: Build the design that you like. Make sure to add hoppers in your basketball hoops.

Step 3: Add the jump pads. Here is a picture on how to use the ones that I used: 

Make sure that when you are running on it, you are standing on both the pressure plate and the slime block at the same time, or it will not work on servers. You can also add a repeater to make it easier and more reliable. 

Step 4: Make a basketball. For a basketball, I recommend using a magma cream named "basketball".

Thank you for reading and if you have any suggestions for anything you want me to build, put them in the comments! 

Day 11: Watchtower/Wizard Tower

Today I built a decently sized wizard tower watchtower thing. I haven't put anything inside of it yet, but I am planning on putting brewing stands and potion stuff inside of it. Here is a picture:

Other than building this, I have been just doing chores, mining, wood cutting, exploring, and farming. Speaking of mining, here are some tips! Tip 1: If you want to find diamonds, I personally recommend digging down to bedrock level. Tip 2: Make poke holes when strip mining. Basically, when you are digging straight forward, dig a few blocks to the left and right every once and a while. Tip 3: If you are just starting out in a world and are not going for diamonds, then use local caves to get a good supply of iron. Then when you have better stuff, go for the diamonds! Tip 4: To get the most diamonds out of mining, use the best pickax you can get your hands on. The preferred in efficiency 5, unbreaking 3, fortune 3, mending. Tip 5: When going on a mining expedition, Remember to bring lots of wood, and food because with wood you can make more pickaxes to keep mining and food can run out quickly. Anyways, thank you for reading, and If you enjoyed, please follow for notifications!

Day 10: Fishing Boat

Today I built a nice, decorative fishing boat. It will mostly be used for decoration, but if I want to relax by some fishing, this is what I will be using.

I built this by first building the frame. I built mine out of wood. Second, and the main bottom boat areas. Finally, add the sail. If you need inspiration for a boat, just look it up! Anyways I'm sorry this post is so small. But I hope you liked it!

Day 9: Auto Farms!

Today I built a bunch of auto farms because I got bored of farming... not because I'm lazy. The first farm that I built was a cocoa bean farm (It is not automatic) I just attached some Jungle wood to a bunch of sticky pistons, I flip a lever and it harvests, easy. The second farm that I built was a cactus farm, I think everyone knows how to build one of these... The third farm that I built was a automatic wheat farm. I have seen these done before, so I wanted one too. Here is how I did it: Step one: Build an 18x18 platform. Step 2: Add a railway system covering the entire thing. Step 3: Cover it with dirt. Step 5: Build this:

It's basically just a minecart unloading system. Step 4: Fill a brown coat villager with 8 stacks of seeds and put him in the farm. The last farm that I built was an automatic pumpkin farm. I connected all of these put to a storage system with hoppers and ice streams. 

This is picture of the storage system! Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed. Follow me if you would like notifications about when I post my blogs.

Day 8: Tavern, decorations, and Auto Sugar Cane Farm

Today I really wanted to figure out why my crops weren't growing. Apparently, at some earlier time, I had changed the Random tick speed to 0. So basically nothing would grow or spawn. Here is a tip for all you readers: If you want your crops to grow super fast, then set your random tick speed to anything above 20. Here is the command: /gamerule randomTickspeed 20 (Change the last number to what you want it to be. Also remember that if you do fiddle around with the tick speed and you want to change it back to normal, the normal Minecraft tick speed is 20. Anyways, I built an automatic sugar cane farm where basically you do not have to do anything and it will farm itself. Here is a picture:

I basically just used a hopper timer and connected that to a row of pistons. The pistons then retract and extend with the timer. Finally, this leads to a tower of droppers that brings it right into my chest. It is not the most efficient, but it does the job. I decided to also add some decorations, including a small market and a few carts. 

The last thing that I built was a tavern on a small boardwalk thing. Here is a picture: 

I am going to use this store potions later. Anyways, thank you for reading this, and leave your suggestions for what you want me to build in the comments!

Day 7: Storage House and Upgraded Tools

Today I got fed up with not having good tools, so I mined for a really long time and pulled a bit over a stack of diamonds out. I would say that is pretty good because I have been low on diamonds for a long time. I then made a full set of diamond tools and diamond boots. Also, I AFK Fished overnight, so now I have a TON of enchanted books, fishing rods, fish, and bows. Another thing that I did was build a storage house for my goods. I kept running out of chest space in my little house, so I upgraded. Here is a picture:

The big project that I was talking about in my last post is this: I really want to build a giant kingdom, with a castle, three separate villages, and a community market square thing. This is a pretty arduous task so I think that I will start it later in the posts. I want to at least have gotten to the end. Finally, the last two things that I did was build a fountain and some stables. Here is a picture: 

Finally, If anyone wants to join me on my server, then go ahead and comment that you do. 

Day 6: Fishing farm upgrading and Skeleton grinder

Today I built a quick and easy skeleton grinder, not for the XP, but for the bones and arrows. My killing mechanism is just using the sun and I have a hopper and chest underneath to connect the drops.

I also upgraded my fish farm so that I can AFK Overnight. I added a timer connected to a dispenser that shoots out fishing rods to me. I just have to fill up my inventory with something and tape down my left mouse button, and when the fishing rod breaks, it gives me another one. Here is a picture.

 I am starting a big project that I will report to you about when I start it. I am going to tell you about it tomorrow. 

Day 5: Building an Epic House for my Friend

Today I built an awesome house for my friend, he really wanted one. I added it to our little village that we have going, connected via pathway. Here are a few pictures of the inside and outside.

To build this house, I just used the same process that I used to build my first house. Other than building this (Which took me like 20 minutes) I built a small farmland garden thing right next to my house. Sorry this post is so short, I have been doing homework all day :(. 

Day 4: AFK-able Auto Fishing Station

Today I built an AFK-able auto fishing station. Basically, it allows me to tape my left mouse button down and it will get me free food, with expense of fishing rods and time. I will show you how to too. Here are a few easy steps to build your own. I will just be putting in pictures because they should be extremely easy to follow.
Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3:

And that's it! Just three easy steps to make your own fish farm. The slab right in front of the chest is what your stand on, from there look into the water at the iron door, and just hold right click. Also if you add a roof over your fish farm like I did, keep an air space or transparent block (glass) over the water, it will allow you to catch fish much faster. If you want to, you can add more storage because it runs out pretty fast. Here is my finished version:

Other than building this, I have just been doing other chores like chopping wood, mining, you know, the usual. By the way, let me know if there are specific things you want me to post about.
