Cool NPC Creations

In Minecraft, you occasionally encounter some really neat NPC (or non-player character) buildings, which are built by the villagers.  I've found NPC villages (the most common), temples, and one time, a house in the middle of the ocean.  Here are some screenshots.

These are all a sandstone temple in the middle of the desert.  I have found two of these so far.

There are also temples in the jungle, which are very cool because they have redstone tripwires and chests in them, and are very high-tech.

 Finally, I have some shots of this nifty little hut in the sea that I discovered in one of my worlds a while ago.  (In the background of a couple of the pictures, you can see my replica of a modern mansion in Florida.  It will have its own post in the next couple of days.)

House in the Sky

Today is day three of my Minecraft Week, and today I have a few photos of my house in the sky (in my random exploring world.)  Here are some shots of it from various angles.

                                         The first picture is just what it looks like on the inside.

From the air, you can see inside through the glass roof.  This also gives a sense of how high up it is.   (In the bottom left, you can also see the top of my giant Enderman from yesterday.)

                                    This is what you can see from the ground looking up.

Out the window, the view is very impressive, and here's what the sunset looks like from up there.

My Giant Enderman

Hello,
Going along with the Minecraft theme from yesterday, here are some shots of the huge Enderman I built in one of my worlds.  I think that Endermen, despite being monsters, are incredibly cute, and in fact, I am currently working on making a stuffed, fleece Enderman (I'll post photos when I'm done.)  Anyway, so I have this random exploring world that I basically just use for experimenting (in this world I have the Airborne House-On-a-Stick, Giant Enderman, and a huge target I use for archery practice, and there are also some cool NPC structures, like a neat temple I found.  More on those later.)

So here are a few screenshots of my Giant Enderman (and in the background you can see some of the other structures I was talking about above.

Minecraft Creations

     Now, I know I haven't posted in quite a while, but lately I've been playing a lot of Minecraft, and I've made some pretty awesome creations. Each day for the next two weeks or so, I will post screenshots of my latest world, or something neat I made. I will try my best to post daily, but i have a lot of schoolwork and other things to do, so I apologize in advance if I'm not able to post every day. I also understand that not everyone is crazy about Minecraft, but, as I said, my posts will be Minecraft-related for the next couple weeks. If you're not interested, just ignore all posts with the label "Minecraft".
     So, today I have some photos of what I consider to be my crowning Minecraft achievement-- Grace Manor. It's basically this very big, fancy mansion I built for myself. It was completed a few weeks ago, and it took about a week to build. It's my favorite thing I've built so far, so I hope everyone else likes it too.

 
This first shot is just the outside of the manor from the air (yes, it's in creative mode. I'm awful at survival.) You can see the huge cave it was built over, which is filled with torches to avoid becoming monster-infested. At the top, there are two big, flaming lapis lazuli fountain pillar things that I thought looked pretty cool.

The next two photos are of the courtyard just inside the walls you can see from the last photo. There are two birch trees and some fire pits on either side. Above the door, you can see the crest of Grace Manor, twin golden swords.

 Inside the entrance hall, I tried to make it with a balcony overlooking the entrance with a flight of stairs on either side, one of my favorite architectural styles.  On the bottom, you can see the row of doors to the guest bedrooms, and the entire entrance hall has a glass roof.  To the right you can see the flight of stairs leading to the lounge in the South wing.

The South wing has a lounge on the bottom floor and my bedroom on the top floor.  This is the lounge.  There is a hot tub in the corner, a table and chairs, and the ladder up to my bedroom.

 Here's my bedroom.  The carpet is my favorite color, alien green, a nice contrast to the red downstairs.

 Each guest bedroom has a different carpet pattern and they are all connected from the inside. Basically, all of the guest bedrooms look like this one, except the carpet is different colors.  The bottom one has a lava window, which is a nice source of light in addition to looking very cool.

 This is the observatory/sunroom (it's on the balcony over the entrance hall.)   You can see my adorable cat here, which also explains why I am always holding a fish in many of the screenshots.

And that's it! Remember, check back in later, because I'm posting a new creation every day!
