World Tour!

Unfortunatley, the video I made wasn't working properly, the audio was off and it wouldn't load right. So, I won't post it now. However, I do have the world download available if you want to check it out youself. In the video, we showed off most of the builds on our old survival server. Me, Shawn, and a few other friends played on the server. I hosted it myself and put it online every time some of us wanted to play. We spent quite a lot of time on the server, we all did. In the video, we showed my castle, Shawn's castle, and a few other great buildings. Personally, I like my castle/village the best. Probably because I build it. There was also an unfinished airport near my castle. I wanted to make it out of obsidian but that takes FOREVER to mine. With the new updates, there are new blocks that are easier to obtain. So I could finish it but we don't play on that server anymore.

1.8 Update

Yet again another update comes to us. This update is the 1.8 update. This update is planned to change the entire enchanting system, some new blocks, and a few other things. The previous update added a lot of new biomes and a few new blocks like stained clay and stained glass. This update there will be a new "slime block". Apparently you will be able to bounce on it or something like that. This seems like a pretty cool new block. The enchanting system is being completely changed also. Currently, it costs 30 levels of xp to enchant an item to have the best chance at getting something good. With the new update, enchanting will cost xp and some items, probably gold. However, it will cost less to enchant. You will need to have 30+ levels, however the actual enchant will only cost 3 levels and some gold. Also, it will only cost 1 level to rename an item with an anvil. This will make it a lot easier to rename lots of things. Another new block that they are going to add is a granite block. It's main use is just for decoration. Here is a link to all the planned features for future updates: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Upcoming_features
