2 : Farming Improvements

Hail Wizardlings,

I have worked in the last 24 hours on my staircase which as you can see takes up the birch natural feel.



I also started my tiered farming system. Some wheat to begin.


Finally I hacked down a whole wood and made my first large enclosure for sheep. I have decided that large fields are the thing.


In order to save pictures you need to use Shift F2. To find them again in the real world go to Finder and then the Go drop down and "Go to" option. You then type in -

~/Library/Application Support

You can cut and paste this command.

Then go to mine craft and then screenshots. You can open each one and press the square/arrow sign and send them to iPhoto. They will go into last down load - use the square/arrow command and select  album or new album and call it Minecraft. When you send the Purple Wizard an email you send me the odd screenshot of whats going on in your world. Easy. Let me know how you get on.

1 : Welcome to the Wizard of Power

Greetings,

My name is Diddai the purple wizard. I am a most powerful wizard. Greetings to those in the land of Shrewsbury.

Having walked the land for a thousand years I have decided to settle and build my tower of power on a peaceful hill set next to a river valley.


I like to build in a very natural style, in keeping with the surrounding woods and valleys. The first task was to build a sturdy tower from which I can strike out and explore.


The view from the top gives you a good idea of what's about and I have decided to map the surroundings at scale 3 i.e. 3 upgrades to map size so that one pixel is 3x3.

Taking a tour round the compass. North an intriguing plateau surrounded by some mountains. To the North East a swamp.


To the East a large birch wood. Some land for farming. I am planning to fence in large areas and raise herds.


To the South oak and birch woods and at the head of the lake a door to my original mining expedition. I stumbled upon an abandoned mine in an underground fissure. There is still much work to do cleaning out the tunnels of bad creatures of the night. I need to raise my power levels and go armed to the teeth !


Finally in the West the river runs through a canyon. I have a small boat and one day will take a day trip as it would be the fastest way to map out the countryside.


Is that the time. I must leave you for now. If you like my site you can leave a comment. I will for now be doing much farming and clearing of trees. I desire rippling fields of crops, multitudinous livestock and an orderly landscape.


Work hard young wizardlings. I leave you with the view of the sunset.
