The evolution of my castle on the multiplayer server I talked about yesterday.
As it was yesterday, not much more than a tower.
I built on the back.
Then I built a courtyard garden on the front.
Here you can see the courtyard on the front.
Time to sign my work.
Building a big entrance way and hall on the front of the castle.
I didn't like the way it looked, so I built a guardhouse by the main entrance.
A view from another angle after some more tidying up.
The view from above.
It’s not as impressive as a lot of the other things that have been built on the server, but I like it.

You know how when you build something in Minecraft you can’t see it and then you jump down and turn around and look at your creation and it is either: a) glorious! or b) a bit disappointing? Today I built an angel. Yeah. He’s a b.

Sometimes you end up layering stupidity upon stupidity until you reach some kind of idiot nirvana where everything seems to work out. It’s like the universe – or, in this case, Minecraft – starts feeling so sorry for you that it feels the need to help you out. STUPIDITY NUMBER ONE I’m building a castle

Today’s tip, always have some torches visible from your spawn point so you know which way to go when you respawn at night. Always helpful when you’re running for your stuff, but I don’t think it’s going to help me today, as I was swept down a river into the darkness and only knew I’d

A long, long time ago on my multiplayer server I wandered off into the middle of nowhere and built a small statue of my wife, just for her. I wasn’t sure if anyone would ever find it again, as it was so far from civilisation. Unfortunately, it turns out it wasn’t far enough. Our buildings

I dream of Minecraft most nights. (When I’m not dreaming I’m at Minute Maid Park.) Today, though, I think I caught Minecraft having a fever dream of its own. Odd floating islands and dozens of looming overhangs. All the baffling oddness of Minecraft’s possible worlds magnified in one area. I walked through it fearfully; it

The adventure to the north continues… You know what I was saying in my last post about wanting monster spawns on the surface? Well, on my travels I found a big pit with a sandy bottom. I’d just noticed that the walls of the pit were cobblestone – implying construction! – when a spider appeared

After dying in the depths of the caverns for the hundredth time, it was time for a new adventure. My quest: to start from the spawn point with an empty inventory and go north. That was it. Start with nothing and trek into the north to see what adventures awaited me. The first day was

On the multiplayer server I built a small village, with some houses, a garden, a well and a gallows. Unusually, though, I’ve sunk some real time into the single player game. I started a new map and found a huge cave system right near the spawn point. My aim, then, is to explore the caves

Having walled off a huge expanse of land, I decided I should do something with it. I built a spiral lighthouse, then built a beardy face next to it. I tend to sign my work with variations on that abstract beardy face. Sometimes it smiles, sometimes it’s grumpy, sometimes there’s a nose, sometimes there isn’t.

My castle and its grounds are spreading out across the map. This means I’m getting close to other people’s stuff. I try very, very hard not to destroy or change anything anyone else has made and build around anything I didn’t create myself. I get too close, though – the equivalent of invading someone else’s
