Nerdpie’s Guide to Minecraft Meat

nerdpies-guide-to-minecraft-meat

Minecraft has a wide variety of meat products that you can eat. I like to eat all of them. If you want you can farm different animals in the same pit or in different pits if you want. If you eat your meat raw  then it might make you sick. If you are sick you can drink milk to get rid of the sickness.Otherwise it will reduce you to having 1 health point until you regenerate the rest.

Mutton

Mutton is a newer meat only put out in 1.9. You get mutton from sheep. Sheep is a great animal to farm because you can shear wool from it and you get meat so it is a win win situation. Mutton is 2 food points when raw but when you cook it in a furnace mutton becomes 6 food points.

Beef

This might be the most used meat in Minecraft because cows are really helpful. You can milk them with a bucket. And when you kill them you will get leather and beef. When you eat beef you will get 3 food points and when you cook beef you will get steak which is 8 food points.

Porkchop

This might be the least used meat in Minecraft because pigs only give you porkchops, nothing else. If you want them to follow you, you have to have a carrot in your hand. Porkchops give you 3 food points if raw and  8 food points if cooked.

Rotten Flesh

While this isn’t exactly meat it is somewhere in that region. You get it from zombies when they die and isn’t really helpful. If you eat it you will probably get sick and you can’t cook the sickness out of it. One piece of rotting flesh is 4 food points

I hope that this helps you decide what you are going to farm animal wise.

The Liquids of Minecraft

minecraft-liquids

I am going to tell you all about the liquids of Minecraft because they are really interesting yet you could live without them. Like you do not need to drink any thing throughout the enter game which is really cool yet scary because then there is nothing that can tie us to a place because of water.

Water

This is the most common liquid because it is in lakes and oceans all around and no water can get dirty. All water is the same in Minecraft no matter where you find it. Water is used as the base of all potions and can be traveled over using a boat.

Lava

This is a really cool resource because it will destroy a lot of different things like plants or you. If you touch lava you will be lit on fire and with stane lots of damage from it. If you are in the lava you will most likely die. Lava is a good barrier for keeping out the monsters from your fortress. I suggest you make some way to get over it though. Unless you like swimming in lava

Potions

These are really helpful but I am not going to go into them in great detail. You can make a fire resistance potion to help with the aforementioned lava swimming. You can also make a water breathing potion to help with the actual swimming.

Milk

This liquid is very helpful as it combats poison. There are a couple of different ways to get poison but all of them give you the same effect. The most often way is eating raw meat. It won’t always give you poison. And there is a potion of poison witches will throw at you.

I hope that this gives you a thirst for knowledge about Minecraft liquids.

Minecraft Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

minecraft-sugar-and-spice-and-everything-nice

 

Dessert Week. Today I’m going to teach you how to make Minecraft desserts. I love to make Minecraft desserts they look so cool. I sometimes stumped to find the ingredients but when I am able to make desserts I am always glad. I have 3 desserts to show you how to make and I bet you will use them a lot.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

These aren’t exactly your mama’s Chocolate Chip Cookies but I bet you will like them just as much. They are super good for your guy as they use less resources than wheat per food point. The recipe is Wheat in the middle left and right and Cacao beans in the middle middle. You will get 8 cookies for consumption which is scrumdiddlyumptious. It restores 2 food points. 

Pumpkin Pie 

This is Nerdster’s fave dessert on Minecraft because it is really cheap on resources and really good on food points. The recipe is a Pumpkin a sugar and an egg anywhere on the crafting table. Pumpkin pie is really good for you because you can get 8 food points from it. And you can stack to 64 so you can carry a weeks worth in one spot.

Cake

This is the most complicated dessert but it is very rewarding. The recipe is milk buckets in the top row (don’t worry after you craft it they will stay on the crafting table as empty buckets), sugar in the middle left and right, an egg in the middle middle, and wheat across the bottom. Cake is actually set down as a block before eating and is eaten in slices. You right click on it and you eat a slice. One slice is 2 food points making the whole cake 14 food points, You can’t stack more than on cake making them hard to lug around but they are great to have at home because all of the ingredients can be found around the farm.

I hope that this will help you to start your own confectionary business around Minecraft. Have fun with it!

Minecraft Creativity Come To Life

minecraft-creativity-come-to-life

Today’s post is all about one of my favorite modes, Creative it is a really neat mode because you can make anything you want. You can make a village or a town, you can make a castle or a farm, whatever you want. I normally make a creative world to test out any new redstone creations that I plan on making. Or you can use it to try out a block that you have never used before.

I will use creative to play with animals to figure out what they like best. You can use creative and survival together by enabling cheats. I suggest you make on creative world just to play around with. My worlds that I play around with normally end up getting flooded because I was playing around with a water fountain. The best thing about creative is that if you don’t like your creation you can just throw it away and you won’t run out.

On creative you will not have a crafting interface in your inventory. But instead you will have almost every item in minecraft . When you left click on blocks it will destroy them and you will not get any resources back from them. If you have one block in your hand you can place infinite blocks of that kind. And if you are crafting you can click on one block of anything with your mouse wheel and you will get the maximum stack you can get off of it in your mouse piece

If you want a flat landscape so that you have a blank canvas you can when you are making your world go to more options and click on the landscape button until it gives you flat lands.

I hope that this gets you excited to make some creative worlds.

Nerdpie’s Guide To Minecraft: The First Night

nerdpies-guide-to-minecraft-the-first-night

This post is for all you noobs out there that are just booting up Minecraft and realize you don’t know what you am doing. For all of you seasoned Minecrafters stick around you might learn something. I realize most people aren’t familiar with the way that you move around in Minecraft. The W key is move forward. The E key is your inventory and the mouse moves the camera. You will right click on things to break them and left click on things to use them.

The first thing you are going to want to do is find shelter. Suggest for super noobs you should hid a cave. There are  lot of different cves you could hide in. In some worlds there are caves that are perfect for people to hid in. You need to make sure you have a light source in where ever you take shelter. Because monsters will spawn wherever there is no light. And normally you don’t want to fight monsters on your first night.

 The next thing you need to do is find wood. You need to dig a bunch of trees out with your fist so you have logs. Once you have logs you can start to crafting items. The first thing you should make is a crafting table. Open up your inventory then put a log in to the table with 4 squares. That is called the crafting interface and you will use it to make different items. The box that is to the side should have planks in them take them out and fill every hole in the crafting interface with planks and you will get a crafting table. Now you can craft all kinds of things. To learn more about what you can craft click here

I hope that this helps you learn how to start playing Minecraft.
