Hey gamers, I’m gonna start talking about what I did over the years in Minecraft.

I got my first PC in 2014 for the sole purpose of playing Minecraft. I don’t remember exactly what it was, but it was a small laptop. I played it for a good year until it crashed and was unrepairable.

Then in 2015, I got a Windows 7 laptop, and was able to play more games than just Minecraft. I didn’t play it that much because it just got boring, so I kind of distanced myself from it often.

In late 2018 my Windows 7 got so slow from so much use I couldn’t load it up, then it refused to turn on. So I got a Windows 10 to replace it, so then I could run many more games on it, but I still didn’t play lots of Minecraft, but I got more familiarized with it.

When 1.14 came out in 2019, I started playing Minecraft more often. I got into servers, exchanged usernames with friends, and got into this one realm for a streamer, Ryxe Goodberry.

Ever since then I have been declining in activity on Minecraft, only playing if my friends force me to, unfortunately. Either way, Minecraft is still a good game, and the 1.15 update with the honey blocks made it better.

Goodbye gamers, and stay frosty.

Hey guys, so I found a bunch of meme videos about Minecraft and I think they are all pretty funny.

Stay frosty gamers.

Hey gamers welcome back to another blog, today I’m going to be talking about more tips and tricks.

You’re gonna want to always bring along a stack of cobblestone or some other building block you won’t regularly use or have an abundance of when mining or exploring. This is because you might find an ore, or something out of reach, and you’re too lazy to mine your way up, you can always just stack up using the blocks.

Another thing you really want is an enchantment table. If you build one, you’re gonna have to build bookshelves around it so you can have higher enchantments. Unfortunately, this requires lapis, which you’re gonna have to go mining for. Enchantment tables give you enchantments to your tools at the expense of your XP, which leads us to our next tip:

You’re going to want to build a mob grinder to get XP easily. This involves making a dark room with water streams leading to the middle, where a hole will be, and the mobs drop down until they’re very low with health. You’re going to want to make sure they can’t escape, and line your area up with slabs so not even one block high mobs can get out. Once the mobs drop, you can strike them down with your sword and gain XP.

Speaking of XP, you’re going to want to try and get mending on all of your armor and tools as soon as possible. This can be done by finding a village and forcing a villager to trade with you. (Cubey made a good video on villagers. You can find it here.) You can get mending books from that villager. Mending books allow you to repair your items by gaining XP.

And that’s all the tips and tricks I have today, goodbye gamers.

What is up gamers and welcome back to another tips and tricks blog. Unfortunately I haven’t played a lot of Minecraft recently so I can only give you two tips and tricks, but I will supply a video at the end.

Usually I carry a bucket of water with me when I explore. This is because whenever you’re in high, dangerous areas, you can always land safely, however high you are. Whenever you begin falling, you wait for the last second to place the water bucket on the ground and break your fall. This is because water in Minecraft will minimize all fall damage, even with very high falls. While this is a life saving skill (and is very useful in hardcore), it still does take a lot of practice to execute correctly.

Whenever I’m mining, I always carry around at least two sets of iron tools, a stack of steak, a stack of torches, and never go outside of my base without full iron armor and two shields. The reason why I take two sets of iron or diamond (if I have any) is because whenever the current tool you’re using breaks, you’ll always have a spare one to use. If I’m mining, I might carry an extra pickaxe, or if I’m mob grinding, I will bring an extra sword, same with logging, and shoveling out a big area. The reason why I always wear armor and bring two shields is because it’ll save you in life threatening situations, and because shields can render a creeper explosion useless completely if you time it right. Skeletons can also be annoying without a shield or a bow, because it is very difficult to close the distance. The reason why I take a stack of torches is because I might find a good cave system, or it might get dark and I need to set up a small camp for the night. Mobs hate torches and won’t spawn in light, making it a good defense for a camp.

I found this one video by MumboJumbo about tips and tricks here. Check it out!

Goodbye gamers, and keep gaming!

I have some very basic tips and tricks in Minecraft for YOU! These are some very basic tips and tricks for Minecraft, but they’ll be a good way to start off. These tips will be, of course, designed for a normal survival world.

First, you’ll want to preferably establish your base in or near a biome that has plentiful amounts of wood. Jungles have plenty of wood just from one tree, you can usually get a stack from one jungle tree. Generic forests are usually abundant with wood, and you could have a possibility of finding a bee nest! The taiga biomes are also great. The plains are not an ideal place for establishing a base, unless you are hoping to find a village, because there aren’t many trees in the plains. Biomes like savanna, desert, mesa, ocean, ice spikes, mountains, tundra, badlands, and islands are not ideal because they lack wood and/or have rough terrain that are hard to navigate in, or just aren’t flat enough to establish a base above ground.

Once you get at least two stacks of wood and a base, you’re gonna want to start a mine and find a sustainable food source. Steak and mutton from cow and sheep farms are really reliable sources of food, plus you could get wool from a sheep farm, which is required to make a bed. Other sources such as a plant farms are less reliable because they take longer to get and grow, plus you require a bucket of water, which needs iron to make. You don’t really want to start a fresh mine, rather, find a cave. Caves are already mined out and expose ores to you. While we’re on the topic of ores, you’re going to want to look for iron and coal first before any other ore. Once you get full iron armor and two sets of iron tools, you can then set off for other ores.

When you’re in the cave, you’re most likely going to get lost a few times. In order to avoid this, you’re going to want to put torches along one wall, left or right. This way you know which way to go, and can’t easily get lost (although it’s still possible).

For more tips and tricks for Minecraft, I found this one video on YouTube by MumboJumbo. It can be found here.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
