Hey Guys,

So I have now started working on Craftopolis and I am building a market. I have become stuck for ideas and still have 3 stands left. Do you see where I'm going with this... Haha anyway I need some ideas, So if you guys have any idea let me know in the comments and I will build it. I promise I'll but a tour up as soon as I'm done.

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),

Shinekiwi's Super Awesome Things to Build - House Tips!

Hey my fellow crafters,

I've been building a pretty cool house for a while, and I wanted to give you guys a couple tips on how to start if you're new to minecraft and are building a house, or even if you've been playing minecraft a while.

So, Tip Number 1:
Keep it small. If you really just want a neat little house that you can build quickly, keep it one story, and small. This is great on survival if night is coming, you've got no home, but a couple stacks 64 blocks. Just throw something together, and you can edit later.

Tip number 2:
Never make a fireplace with actual fire if your house is made out of something flammable. As Cutie, Sky and I learned, even if your fireplace is surrounded by non-flammable blocks one high, the flammable one above will burn. And fire spreads. Quickly.

Tip number 3:
If you want a successful crop/garden, have water some where in it, and so don't forget to hoe your dirt
before you plant seeds!

Tip number 4:
Make sure that you have some light in your house. If you don't, bats will spawn, and because they fly around heaps, they are pretty hard to kill on creative and survival! It doesn't take more than a few hits to kill them though...

Tip number 5:
Make sure your house is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, it better be awesome,

Shinekiwi ;)

Shinekiwi's Super Awesome Things to Build - Giant Tree...

Hey guys,
I was on one of the MAP's I downloaded, Vertoak City, and I saw a cool build that I wanted to try and redo in my own way, so I went on to my tryouts world, The Everything, and I recreated it. A quick warning: If you put lava in a glass tank inside a wood building, don't think it won't burn. It will!...

Here is my (well sort of my) recreated build. Things like this giant tree are really cool, and you can make giant blocks etc. At the moment I am working on a giant melon!

The inside

Remember, it's always cool to recreate something!
