The Four Guardians

ARBTPosted on by June 28, 2015

One of my MCPE builds on Fisher Price® My First Creative World™ was a giant zombie. It was a challenge figuring out what color blocks to use, and working around the fact that unlike skins, blocks have the same texture on all four sides. But the statue got built with the necessary fudging of detail and it lurked on one side of several incarnations of my scavenger hunt world, at least until in some of them, Wee Beastie TNT’ed them to the ground. ‘Cause, you know, Giant Zombie. Fast forward to my infinite world, and a pretty patch of shoreline … continue

Server Time, and MCPE 0.11.0 news!

ARBTPosted on by June 17, 2015

Monday night server time was had tonight! I only had two guests tonight: 576875 and Team Heath Bar, but a good time was had arrowing mobs, adopting wee cows (one of whom THB has dubbed Mr. Moo) and 5 has started a farm at the Spawn House so folk coming in don’t have to scrounge around for food, initially. I’m starting to quite look foward to my weekly visitors. 🙂 In belated OMG! News, turns out the rumors swirling about the MCPE 0.11.0 beta were legit, and y’all lucky folks with Android devices do indeed get to beta test it. Some of … continue

At the Circus!

ARBTPosted on by June 28, 2015

All right, Crazy Busy-making Stuff is over with for a moment, so time to catch up on posts about my MCPE builds! I finished the circus a hair too late for the Reddit WBC it was created for, but it still came out cool and I’m pretty happy with it. It gave me something to do with the dead flat mountain space on the main subway line between the Crystal Palace and the Castle. I’d briefly considered starting a giant train station build there but I think that’s ultimately going to go north of the castle. Anyway. Pictures! Carving stairways … continue

Server Time and Building Challenges

ARBTPosted on by June 17, 2015

Happy April Fools Day! Just a housekeeping post, cause I’ve been busy. I was going to do another open server session tomorrow, not realizing I had a schedule conflict. D’oh! So rescheduling that for sometime Saturday evening – not sure when yet, but will update the time on the sidebar as soon as I figure it out. The MCPE subreddit‘s Building Challenge this week is one I’m excited about so I’ve been hard at work adding a circus to my world. (Something new for Saturday’s guests!) I actually finished the big top last night only to realize that at some … continue

Wacker Tower

ARBTPosted on by June 17, 2015

I mentioned I liked browsing Brutalism tumblrs and other images for inspiration for Minecraft builds. One day I happened across a pictures of  the Blue Cross Blue Shield building in Chicago, IL. The building still stands, although it’s been given a bit of a facelift and the more generic moniker of “55 West Wacker.” (It nevertheless has made several “Chicago’s ugliest buildings” lists, which seems a little unfair – I’ve seen way uglier examples of Brutalism.) It also now has very tall neighbors on all sides but the front, rendering all those pretty windows useless and making the building itself … continue
