I'm back (again)

Image
So it's been half a year since I said the blog was "Back". Obviously, that didn't happen. But I'd like to start revamping this blog. None of this will be all at once, but I will slowly work on this site over the next few months, like updating logos and widgets. So, instead of saying something arbitrary like "I'll be posting twice a month", I'm going to just say that I'm going to try and post more often than I have been. Signing off, P.S. I've also updated my signing off badge to match my new podcast logo.

Check out diversity 2!

Hi! Today I wanted to talk about the adventure map Diversity 2!  It's a sequel to the original (which you don't need to play to play this), and is surprisingly fun! You probably already know about it, if you've listened to the podcast episodes where I play it. There are 10 Branches in the map:  Adventure: You are the new housekeeper for a scientist, but he's not there when you arrive! Explore the house and uncover the mystery of your boss's experiment! Arena:  Battle a variety of Minecraft monsters, collecting diamonds to upgrade your gear! Watch out for that ghast!

So you want to start a podcast...

Image
Hi! I’ve seen a lot of kids start Minecraft podcasts recently, and I wanted to talk about how to start a podcast, and what you need to do so. For one thing, make sure your parents know you’re making a podcast, because they might think of something that you didn’t. You should also let them listen to an episode before you publish it, for the same reason. Now, to create a podcast, you need to go to anchor.fm. Click the get started button, and follow the steps to create your podcast. You can also do this from the anchor app, which has similar instructions.

What I would say you need to play Minecraft

Hi! Today I wanted to talk about what I think you need to play Minecraft!  H ere is my list of minimum pc specs: CPU: 2 core with 1.60 GHz Memory: 4 GBs Graphics card: What graphics card? Now, you could run Minecraft on just that, but it's better to run it with higher specs.  Here's my list of optimal pc specs:

My favorite Minecraft versions

Image
Hi! Today I wanted to list all the versions of Minecraft that I own (view an in-depth look at them and when I got them here ), and which ones I like best! Here is the list of versions: Java edition Legacy console edition Pocket edition Xbox one edition Windows 10 edition And here is the list of the same versions, in the order of which ones I like the best: Java edition (the best in everyway except for making mods) Window 10 edition (everything great about pocket edition, but on a PC) Pocket edition (tiny screen, but everything else is OK) Xbox one edition (controls are so non-ergonomic) Legacy console edition (same reason as above, but with much less features, as it's stuck in something like 1.12.2) One more thing: Although I  don't like some of these versions, don't let my opinion override yours. It's fine if you like these more then me. That's all for today! Signing off,

MCPOP #1

Hi! I'm starting a new thing on this blog called MC pop! Every now and then, I'll make a post containing a Minecraft question.

Todays question is: *drumroll...*

My history with Minecraft

Image
Hi! Today I wanted to talk a little bit about my history with Minecraft. Before we start, I wanted to share a fun fact: I am 2 months older then Minecraft! In 2015, my family got an Xbox one (which we still have), and got a few games to go with it, including Lego Jurassic world (one of favorites), Lego Marvel Super Heroes, Snoopy's Grand Adventure, and of course, Minecraft! BTW, if you haven't already, I suggest you check these out, especially the Lego games, as they are really fun! I mostly ignored Minecraft, because when I looked at "Lego Marvel Super Heroes!", then looked at Minecraft, it was an easy decision (from the perspective of a 6 year old). Finally, me and my mother started checking it out, and figured out some of the nifty things you can do! Soon, me and my brother had a survival world going, and we had a lot of fun! Then, we found out that Minecraft was on the iPhone, so we decided to buy it, since it was only 7.99. We played that for a while, and quickly...
