My multiplayer Minecraft world

Hello people's. Today I'm writing about a Minecraft world that I share with my friends. Here it goes!

So recently I've had computer class for my seventh period class although now its over. :( I had a really nice teacher named Mr. Moore who usually gave us 10-15 minutes at the end of every class to play any school appropriate games. Luckily I was in that class with two of my best friends Ian and Zack. All of us are total Minecraft nerds so I made a Minecraft world and opened it to LAN so that they could join and play on this survival world. There was still one problem though. At the end of every school day the computers wipe everything off except the programs they want on it and everything on the students o-drive. This would mean that every class we would have to start over because MC would stay in our o-drive but the worlds on it would be erased. But Fortunately, USING MY GENIUS 'PUTER SKILLS, I was able to separate the saved world from MC put it on my o-drive and put it back into MC next class!

The adventure had begun! So here's a short overview of the world and what we accomplished in it. One of the main reasons I got back into MC survival non-modded was because of the new 1.7 update. 1.7 adds a ton of new biomes and world gen and I felt it made the exploring factor of MC all the better. So my job was the explorer/adventurer, Ian was the builder, and Zack was the miner and did all the complicated red stone stuff. So I made the world and I spawned in a swamp biome facing an ocean making South the only exploration route without having to make a long, boring boat trip.

I was on the world a couple days before my friends so I started making a house on the beach. It mainly consisted of a pier, mine, and a second level above it.



I would've put in glass windows but strangely for a beach sand was scarce. By the way I was just in creative mode so I could take better pics. If your wondering why the blocks look a little different it's because I'm using a texture pack called Summerfields that I love and you should definitely check it out.





The main mine we use.

Afterwards my friends joined and those were the worst few nights. Most of the time we were holed up, on a hill, back to back surrounded by a circle of fire fighting monsters because we only had one bed and in Multiplayer in order to skip the night everybody had to be sleeping. Yeah, it was pretty awesome. So we bravely fought out the nights and went on crazed sheep massacres every day so we could get wool for beds. After we finally got enough wool Ian and Zack went off to make their own houses 20-30 blocks away from mine.


Ian's house. It started as a small tree house but now it's all the levels it's more of a regular house with a tree under it. ;D


Zack lives in a ravine LIKE A CREEPY MOLE CREATURE ;D kidding Zack.



This is his setup. Small but functional and he's got a large mine too.

One of the things I got lucky with this world was that as soon as I started making the mine stair casing downwards. I ran into some lava and being so close to the ocean it was easy to dig a canal, have the water turn the lava to obsidian, and block the water off again. So as soon as we found some diamonds we made a pickaxe out of it and mined the obsidian for a nether portal! First step to winning the game done.

After going in. We normally have it covered with stone to protect from explosive things but I uncovered it for the pic.

The next step so that I could start exploring was to get all iron armor, an iron sword, and some leads in case I rain across some valuable animals like horses, wolves, or ocelots. I managed to get enough iron easy enough but I needed slime balls and string to makes leads. Fortunately we were in a swamp so Zack easily got some slime balls and my friends were both nice and we pooled our string to make leads. Finally I was ready to explore! It's been a good week in Minecraft time and I've crossed oceans, scaled mountains, and tamed horses on expansive plains.

Unfortunately the class is now over and in order to play multiplayer with my friends from our houses one of us would have to buy a server and I don't think any of us can really do that. But it was fun while it lasted! And just in case I brought a copy of the world home on a thumb drive. Bye peoples and have an adventure!

Bye Ashton
