This post is going to tell you all the base monsters in Minecraft in the overworld but not go into a ton of details. Most monsters are only in the night time and all only spawn in the night. First I am going to talk about the originals but there are a lot of variations that have been made like chicken jockeys.

Witch: These are kind of new and are really fun but watch out because they will throw potions at you if you get near and they can survive in the daylight.

Zombie: These are one of the main monsters of Minecraft because it is so iconic. They can’t live in the sun but there are lots of them at night

Spider: These are passive in day unless you are close to them put can climb up walls but not under walls.

Creeper: This is often seen as the mascot of Minecraft and is easy to avoid if you know what you are doing. They are really slow but can survive in the daylight and will blow up if they are to close to you for more than a few seconds.

Guardian: I don’t have any experience with these myself but they guard the ocean monument and can only survive under water.

Silverfish: These are neat little creatures that pop out of blocks in strongholds and they can lay eggs in cobblestone blocks.

Skeleton: These are one of the most common monsters that are out at night. They burn up in the sun and have long range weapons. (special hint get a skeleton to shoot a creeper then make sure the creeper dies and doesn’t blow up you will get a special item)

Slime: These are often found in swamps and split the first time you hit them into 4 then those split into 2 each. If they touch you they will hurt you and can be in the sun. 

I hope that this gives you a better understanding of the monsters of the overworld. Please put in the comments anything you want to learn about minecraft.

The Desert is a neat place but it can be scary place if you don’t know everything about it. The desert is a very empty place with not much to it. You can often find deserts next to all biomes and sometimes it even snows in the desert which is really weird.

there are only a couple of items that are in the desert but there are a lot of them. The main thing is sand lots and lots of sand. I am guessing that you knew that but what you didn’t know is that underneath all that sand is sandstone that is a good building block. You can only dig out sandstone with a picaxe that is stone or higher. There is also chiseled sandstone and sandstone stairs that you make in the bottom row the middle middle and right and the top right.

The only life you really see is a cactus but there is lots of them. Cactus are good defense measures because they hurt everything touching them not just you. Cactus can’t have anything touching them so you need to put them in a checkerboard pattern. Cactus can only be planted on sand and you just plant a cactus block and it will grow straight up till it is 3 high like sugar cane. If you bake cactus you will get green dye and if you add bone meal to it you will get one of my favorites lime green.

I hope that you have learned enough to brave the dreaded desert and survive. Tell me below in the comments what’s your favorite dye in Minecraft.

This post is here to tell you a couple of items that are not essential to the farming process they will help your farm a lot. These can be used elsewhere but for today I am just going to stick with the farming aspect. 

1: Leash

This is handy tool that is not seen very often but is very useful. if you left click on a animal (or monster but I don’t suggest it because then they will attack you) while holding a lead, and then they have to stay with you within 10 blocks. To make a leash you put a slime ball in the middle middle and string in top left and middle, middle left, and bottom right.

2: Fence

This is helpful with animals because they are 1 and 1/2 blocks tall making them tall enough to hold in animals but low enough to be able to see in. You can also Leash them (see above) and anchor the leash to a fence piece so that the animals will have to stay there. Sometimes I make a fence around my outside crops then you won’t have any monsters in your water source come morning believe me it isn’t pleasant. To make a fence put planks in the middle left and right and in the bottom left and right and sticks in the middle and bottom middle.

3: Gate

This is in tow with the fence because it is the only thing that is 1 and 1/2 block other than the fence. The main reason that you would use a fence as the entrance to an enclosure made of fence. Though you can also put 2 on top of each other instead of a door and then they will appear to be only 1 block high which always feels weird. To make a gate put sticks in the middle left and right and in the bottom left and right and planks in the middle and bottom middle.

I hope that you might have use of these items on your Minecraft farm.

Today I am going to talk all about the system of Minecraft not the actual game but that to do if you need your screenshots or even a world for a different computer. When I got my new computer I wanted to keep all my world so went through all the files to find them and add them to the new Minecraft spot so that they would actually run. It took several tries and some help from the NerdDad so I wanted to tell you guys all about.

The file that you find all of the worlds and saved items is .minecraft which is in your file manager. That is buried super deep so I suggest that you search .minecraft in your files to go to it if that doesn’t work for you here is a different way. Open the Minecraft game and go to options. Then click on the resource packs button. Then the button to open the resource packs files. Then you will be in a file that is in the .minecraft file.

To get a screenshot out of the .minecraft master file. There is a file that is named screenshots. That is what holds the pictures in a Jpeg format. Then you can just copy or cut your  pictures out and put them where ever you choose. The command for taking a picture is F2.

The worlds that you create are in there own file. Then in a little file for 1 world. I suggest you  just copy the file with a separate file then you don’t have to get in the actual makeup of the minecraft worlds. 

If you want to use a beta tester you should make a copy of the world you want to play on unless you wanted to make a new world. To get to a beta tester open the Minecraft launcher. Then click on the button that says edit profile. The click on the checkbox that says “Enable experimental development versions (“snapshots”). And you will have the new update that is isn’t done yet.

I hope that now you can run the files of Minecraft and you can have all of your special pictures.

Today I am going to tell you about different foods to set your minecraft dinner table with. There isn’t a set breakfast or dinner time in a Minecraft day. You basicly just eat whenever you are hungry. There aren’t unhealthy foods in Minecraft. Either you might be sick like if you eat raw meat or rotten flesh (if you drink a bucket of milk you will get better immediately) but there aren’t any other side effects so you could eat cake and it have the same health benefit as bread or meat though it may not fill you up as much.

Bread: This is the most common food  and is one of the easiest to make. You will spend 3 wheat (across the middle of the crafting table) to get one loaf that will give you 5 hunger points. That is a little resource laden for me but it will always work in a pinch.

Cookies:  These are very unusual because the main ingredient is cacao seeds which are only found in the jungle. To make 8 cookies you put a cacao seed in the center and wheat in the left and right middle of the crafting table and you will have 2 hunger points per cookie so that is 16 hunger points for one batch. That makes them a much more profitable to make than bread. To find out more about the jungle click here

Cooked Food: This is a general category because there are a bunch of foods that can just be cooked in a furnace and eaten right then and there. The only vegetable of 2 hunger points if it is cooked that is in this is the potato which you could eat raw but then it is only half a hunger point instead of 2 hunger points.

There are always more to learn about the food of Minecraft.

This post is to fill in anyone who hasn’t used Minecraft before and wants to know more about it. I realized that a lot of people don’t know anything about Minecraft so I decided to fill you guys in.

Minecraft is a world that is basically made out of squares which makes everything fit together nicely. Minecraft is supposed to be a little bit like real life meaning that there are night and day cycles. There are a couple of things that you will need to survive. You will need food unless you are on peaceful but that is an other story for a different post. And you will need a shelter with light.

The main way that Minecraft is not like real life is that there are monsters that spawn in the night that you will have to fight. If you stay in a well light inclosed space you should be okay at night. But be aware that in the day some monsters stay and others are in the shade so you could still be in danger.

One of the other things that make it not like real life is that when you die you aren’t really dead. You will respawn without your stuff either where you started out or your bed.

Minecraft is a game made by Mojang.  You do have to pay about $30 for a minecraft profile but then you can play on any PC as long as you remember your password and E-mail address. The reason I say that is Nerdpud is always forgetting her minecraft password and gets it reset every once and awhile. 

When you start Minecraft you can either have the steve skin or the alex skin which are both fine but sometimes you want to have a bit more style. If that’s you check out this post that will teach you all the steps that are needed to change your skin into something dazzling. 

I hope this post will help you know more about Minecraft. Let me know any questions.

These are the neatest things because they spawn in the world you don’t have to build them like villages. And I am to tell you all about the underground mine shafts and dungeons. The main one that I have talked about is the village if you want to learn more about it click here. 

The mine shaft is my favorite structure other than the village and the one I am most familiar with of the underground structures. This is a very dangerous place because the monsters love it.  There are cobwebs everywhere that will make you slow if you are touching them and they can be knocked down with a sword and give you tons of string. One time I went into a mineshaft and I brought back two 64s of string. There are pieces of  rail on the floor every where so if you raid a mine shaft you might be able to make a rollercoaster. And there are chests that are scattered around that have various valuable and or rare items

The first underground structure that I ever saw was  is the dungeon. That is the best place to find mossy cobblestone that is my favorite block for  gardens and trimmings and decorations. There is always monster spawner in the middle of the room that can get pretty annoying. Once you take care of the spawner there are 2 chests that have the same kind of stuff as the mine shaft. One way to find them is to go into the desert and find a square 20 by 20 that is sunk deeper than everywhere else.

I hope that you  are ready to brave the terrifying underground mineshafts. Or to go looking in the desert for the fabulous dungeon. Let me know your scary escapes in the underground world of minecraft.

This is the neatest biome because there is not very much biome to it. There is a lot of water, over 3 thousand blocks across. There are a lot of little islands that are scattered around the ocean. In this post I will talk about all bodies of water like lakes and rivers as well as the ocean.

Almost any common material is found in the ocean floor and in the floors of other bodies of water. There is sand and dirt but there is also a new block. Clay is a very helpful block. When you get it out of the ground (the best tool is a shovel) you will get 4 little balls in your inventory per block. You can make bricks out of baking clay in a furnace. You can make a clay pot like a helmet (iron in the bottom middle and the middle left and right) with bricks instead of iron that you can put flowers in. Or you can put your clay in a 4 by 4 square and it will be a block that you can dye or bake to get hardened clay that is fireproof.

There isn’t very many mobs that spawn in the in the ocean but the coolest one is the squid. The squid is not mean and it can’t hurt. They will spawn in an space of water that is big enough for them so like 5 by 5 and 3 deep. If you kill a squid you will get like 3 ink sacks that are black dye and you can make a book and quill if you put a book a chicken feather and an ink sack on the crafting table. Most mobs can swim but water is deadly to any mob from the nether.

Make sure to let me know what you write in your book and quill. I wrote a short story in one once.

I really like the jungle because it has a lot of things in a small area. The place is covered with leaves and vines because there are lots of little trees on the floor and there are lots of 4 trunked trees that make almost a roof over the forest. So those combined make it so you can’t move without touching foliage. There is only one mob that is only found in the jungle. Click here to get to know them

My favorite thing that is unique to the jungle is the Cacao seeds. You can make cookies that are better for you to eat per materials that you have to spended in making them. If you make cookies out of 2 wheat and 1 Cacao seed you will get 8 cookies.You need to put a wheat in the middle left an right and a Cacao seed in the middle middle. I often just carry a stack of cookies and they can keep you full for weeks.

The main wood in the jungle is you guessed it jungle wood though there are a lot of oak trees one the floor of the forest. The jungle wood is so tall that if you go up the vines then fall off then you will probably die. I like making tree houses at the top of the forests and getting to them with vines.

There are only a couple of different food sources in the jungle. There are cookies because Cacao pods are everywhere and there are a lot of grass sprouts in between the trees. And there are a bunch of apples but those aren’t a very reliable food source because it takes you a day to get a day’s worth of food so you won’t be able to do much else.

 I think that the jungle is one of the best biomes to start out in. Because there is lots of wood and resources and sometimes they have a river running through them which is always cool. What is the biome you want to learn more about?
