Shinekiwi's Super Awesome Things to Build: Small(ish) Modern House!

Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't posted in a while - but like the others I'm going to try and post way more often! So anyway, I haven't been building much recently but I just finished a one bedroom modern house! It's pretty small but I wanted to try and build a better modern exterior than I have in the past without really basing it off anything. So, here are a few pictures! Enjoy!

Remember, keep reading the blog! We really appreciate your support.

The Duck Pond Fine Dining Restaurant

Hey Minecrafters
I know I don't post much anymore but I am going to try to post more.
Today, I am bringing you The...

Duck Pond Fine Dining Restaurant

This can be found in Craftopolis on Mikeland. This took me ages to build but remember, if you ever feel like a roof or carpet is taking you ages, then you're halfway there. You could also get someone to help you. I would like to say a big thank you to Bubble for helping me with this one. Here's a photopeach.

Shinekiwi's Quick Tips: Try Hive MC -- Deathrun!

Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't posted in AGES - I've been really busy. I just have time for a quick post, so what I wanted to say was, if you haven't tried the game Deathrun on Hive MC, you definitely should!
The IP address is play.hivemc.com, and Deathrun is kind of like a long version of a weird parkour. If you are a runner, then you have to run through all these traps that deaths can set off by pressing the button.

So give Deathrun a try! It's one of my favourite games.

Shinekiwi, CutieKiwi, kingzrule, CrusadersKiwi, Pinkg1itter, Mims02, waterkiwi, queenzrule and SkyKiwi's City: Craftopolis Hospital!

Herro everyone!

So while I haven't posted in a while, I have still been busy working on the city on Mikeland! I also remember, that in one of my earlier posts, I promised to show you guys my hospital! Well, I never did, so what better time to show you it than RIGHT NOW?!?! Here is a photopeach of my hospital. I have done each individual room and made all the MRI machines etc., but unfortunately photopeach has a limit of 30 photos per video! So I'll show you some of the hospital wards and scan rooms etc. I'll also show you the ambulance parking, garden and children's playground! (Based off the East Cove playgrounds I built with CutieKiwi!) Please excuse the occasional bit of griefing... I don't know why that happened!

So enjoy!


Oh, by the way, Merry Christmas! And a Happy New Year....

Lol!

CutieKiwi, Kingzrule and Shinekiwi's Super Incredibly Awesome Creative - City!

Hey guys,

Shine here. So, we're ready for the first pics of our city - and remember, this is a work in progress.

So this week, we have the Rainbow Plaza (Cutie), The Shooting Star Apartments with Undersea Parking (Shine), and Airbus A380 by a friend and future crafter, CrusadersKiwi, and a cute little UFO (Kingz). We are building our city on the server Mikeland Creative, and the warp for our city is /warp Craftopolis. Craftopolis is what our city is now called! This city is built by Cutie's mall, which is going to be part of our city. This city is built floating on water, which just makes it even more super incredibly awesome!

Here are the pics:

Shinekiwi's Super Awesome Things to Build - City Notice

Hey guys,

I guess some of you were wondering when I'd be starting my city posts, and I'm sorry to say that it will be delayed for another week or so. This is due to the fact that I am changing my world, and I'm am restarting on Mikeland Creative with CutieKiwi, and her mall will feature greatly. At the moment, I'm not too sure if it will just be Cutie and I, or if some other crafters want to do it as well.

Thanks for understanding, guys! Remember to comment and subscribe to the blog, we love hearing your thoughts!

Shinekiwi's Super Awesome Things to Build - MYSTERY HOUSE!!!!!!

Hey guys,

So the time has come for me to show you the finale for my houses chain, my mystery house! (Which I know you've all been hanging out for ! XD) Okay, so my mystery house is based on an image of a really cool house I found on the internet. I based it on this, but then I sort of took it further, and made it a Shinekiwi style house! (Kind of...) I designed a few things myself, such as the fence, the cars and some of the animal pens. Here is the image of the house I based it on:

You like it? I did. So anyway, the moment you've all been waiting for; the presentation of my mystery house!

Keep watching the blog for my next chain - I'm building a city with kingzrule! Each week, you'll get to see a new part of the city! :)

So remember to keep watching the blog, and commenting - we really appreciate your input!

I've abandoned having a catchphrase for now,

Shinekiwi's Super Awesome Things to Build - House Number 6!

Hey guys,

Here is my sixth house, sorry it isn't my mystery one, that post will follow, it's just I forgot to post this house! This is my survival house I did with a fellow minecrafter - kingzrule! We spent a while on this one, and we are both quite proud of it, as it's pretty good for a survival house! This powerpoint is pretty cool, because *kingz helped to make it!

So here it is! Enjoy!
Check the blog for my next post which will follow - my mystery house - finally! Sorry it took so long, but I promise it is worth it!





Still haven't thought of a new catchphrase,

Shine :P


*kingzrule's nickname, also the other one used for him is king, so sorry if I refer to him as that, now you know why!

Shinekiwi's Quick Tip of The Week!

Hey guys,

Still working on my surprise for you, so here is my quick tip of the week *drumroll sounds*:

Minecraft Wiki is great for everything you need to know about minecraft! (Other than the crafters, of course! XD)

Here is the link:

http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Minecraft_Wiki :) (The smiley face isn't part of it...)

So keep watching the blog, and I'm sorry my surprise is taking a while, but it will be worth it! (I hope...!)

I need a new catchphrase for my sign off...

Shinekiwi's Quick Tip of the Week

Hey guys,

So the new update is out - 1.8 - YAY!!! Pretty exciting huh?! Well anyway, I'm still working on my mystery house for you guys, so here is my quick tip of the week, and it's great for you slightly lazier minecrafters out there:

Use a night vision potion so you don't have to set the time! ;)

This is great because you can just drink a potion that lasts for 8 minutes, and then you don't have to keep resetting the time - especially if you're building - because I know that that can be really annoying. 

Please feel free to comment with any tips or tricks you'd like me to share, and don't forget to subscribe to the blog! Hopefully, my mystery post for my houses chain will be able to be posted sometime in the next fortnight or so.

Keep Crafting 'Til The Sun Goes Down (and use my tips),

CutieKiwi's Creative- Terraforming!

Hey Minecrafters!

Over the past few weeks, I've been working on this to go with my new Elsa castle, and I've now completed it! :) This is a giant mountain made of snow and stone blocks. This is called terraforming (when you build terrain) and is one of the hardest/ most tedious types of building, but is very satisfying when it's finished! XD

I built it with no W.E. (World Edit) however, many terraformers do use W.E. for this kind of thing. Here's a photopeach of the photos I've taken. I've also added some more pictures of terraforming, but I think these used W.E.


Do you like it? I had fun making it! :P Please comment with ideas for new posts (we will mention you! :P) and remember to subscribe to us!
