omg... minecraft...

[TheChairmaker]

Well I'm using the android version which I'm guessing is very watered down. I haven't seen any live animals yet. I built a castle just for shelter with a one space open roof. So am I like... protected at night or something? This sounds like way more than just creating things.

The Android version's identical to the iOS Pocket Edition, I believe...so no monsters to protect yourself from, no mining, and no crafting as of yet. Mojang do intend to add these later I'm glad I now have a house...well, a massive glass wall I built as the front side of a massive cave. It has torches covering the wall too. I'm no primitive shelterer. And a sugar cane farm! (which apparently ought to come in useful when crafting and Survival Mode are added?)

You did good on the farm.

Sugar can can be made into paper for maps, can be used for sugar (duh ) to make cookies or cake.

I suggest that if you want to keep your glass wall, you make it a triple layer wall. So when survival mode comes out for pocket, the creepers won't just blow your whole wall entirely.


Yes the creepers! Dang I forgot to mention them! *tactical facepalm*

Creepers are these little green mobs that follow you and don't really make sounds, so it's hard to know if they're behind you or not (hence the name creeper). They do drop gun powder, which is awesome for TNT, but not worth it. They drop 1-3 gun powder each time, and o man it's hard not to be blown up! Creepers explode if you get close enough, which without any armor you WILL die.

O and spiders can now climb walls, so don't have anything open more than 1 square! Always have some torches ok the roof of your house to prevent mobs from spawning there. Trust me I know, I had such a nice house (50x50 2 story with an attic and a basement) then I forgot about the top! Creeper spawned in the night and I went outside to continue working on my fountain (which no one uses this blueprint I came up with it myself ) and bam! Explodes and my fence and cacti surrounding my fence get blown to bits! Luckily I had diamond armor on so it only took some life an armor away. But my precious front yard:/


That was one of my first big communities. Let me give you some info on how it was.

At my original spawn point I made the cave like thing into a home. Surrounding it by layers of glass, and I went underground. In the underground I had a hole (then covered with glass) for my tree farm and wheat farm. I also had a moat surrounding it all. I had a little homemade waterfall on my entrance, and one going down to my farm.

Then I begin to build a bridge across the land and then across the a body of water, to the place where I made a little home to farm monster goodies. Then I made a church with a huge tower at the top to hideout from enemies and snipe them with my bow (had a tree at the top ). Then to the left of that was an experiment gone horribly wrong. Next to this was the hill where my farming goodies home was.

So I begin to cross a mini lake and I see open space! There I see summer in one block then winter in the next! It was awesome! I built my home there!

I then made my 50x50 home 2 story home. I had a attic, and a basement that led to each little tower I made at the corners of my home. The front yard was about 60x40 or so. It contained a flower bed, a huge (like I said original fountain made by me ) fountain, a cacti farm, and my fence and cacti fence that surrounded it all. On all 4 corners of my front yard, I put mini towers that went up 5 blocks, they where on the outside and I can only get to them through my basement.

Then in my backyard (the snow part) I found a very small 2 sided cave . It was filled with water! So I made it my little pool!

Then I began to put a 10 block up wall, which the pesky spiders would have trouble with at me cacti trap at the bottom. The wall covered my new tree tower (where I sniped enemies) and my little wheat farm.

I would have added so much stuff, but then my cousin broke my computer. Oh yea this house was from June. I'm making another house in my cousins computer, so I'll show you guys when I'm done


Sorry about the huge post about my home:/ Just really needed to share it

Well I made a castle from the ground up with the block -that takes really long to destroy- and left a small opening. I might make an underground tunnel to a cave on another island. I feared an attack when I'm sleeping, which is why I didn't start off with a cave in a wall, so I'm not surrounded in a small area. Started my house on a high hill, surrounded by deep water.

As said in an earlier post by TheChairMaker, there isn't much yet. I can just easily put torches anywhere I want, in unlimited amount. I might expand my house and build a wall surrounding it, with an air tunnel leading to another safe place. O_o I assume i'd have to prepare before something screwed up happens to me lol

Lol take some screenies of your world?(:

I believe you're talking about obsidian. Which nothing can break it. So creepers can't blow it up

So I have to cover my wall in Obsidian? Then how will I see out? And if I can't see out, are the mobs not gonna sneak up on my poor defenceless house? Or let the light from the back wall (which is completely covered in torches) escape to stop mobs from spawning?

You know I was only trying to be helpful...

If you make your wall out of obsidian, you can always put windows in it. Maybe you can even do what I did. Cover your whole front wall (from a cave) with something hard to be blown up by creepers. Then (make this any size you want) make a glass and water look through thing. Go down 3 squares from the base of your wall, and cover (the size ?x? You want) with glass. Then add water all over it, make it a still water pool so it can look 'nice'. Then cover that in glass. This way you can see monsters, but they won't see you.


You took a simple suggestion that I made to layer your wall a bit(so it won't get blown up by creepers so easily), and well made a reply with negative tone. Whatever you're implying in your post, idc I just tried helping you. Do as you wish I won't try to help you anymore if this is the way you'll respond.

My sincere apologies. I didn't intend for it to be taken that seriously. I think I will do as you suggest - windows - again, sorry I never thought of it before I had a bit of a mini-rant
