Expanding My Base to Include Chickens, Sheep, Cows, Pigs, and Trees

With the new features of Minecraft on the PC Version 1.13.1 it has become more dangerous to wander around outside to gather resources.  So, I'm expanding to bring those renewable resources inside where I can access them without getting killed.  The first part was bringing in plant foods, now I'm bringing in animals for eggs, feathers, wool, leather, and food.


As you can see in my garden, I have wheat that I can harvest to breed Cows and Sheep, and with the seeds, breed Chickens. I have carrots to breed pigs.

First trip out, brought back a couple of cows and a sheep.



 This is my preferred method of getting in and out of places. I stack a couple of wooden blocks (they won't hurt animals) and put ladders on both sides. Then I can climb up and over the top. Mobs and animals can't climb them... I don't think.. LOL!


Built my Chicken pen, glass walls with fencing inside to keep the chickens from glitching out.


And, last of all, I brought in some pigs.







I slept in a bed (at my garden) to reset my "home" location.


Doing some SERIOUS digging now!  This will be the home of my orchard. I will grow mostly Oak trees but also others at times. Some trees need a taller ceiling to grow so I will make it 8 blocks tall for now and expand it later if I ever get any Jungle Tree saplings or Spruce.


Oops! I dug up too far and put holes into my ceiling where I can see the night sky!


Fortunately, there are not TOO MANY of them! One benefit, I now know where to build up when I want to put in my electric lighting!

Yet Another NEW Snapshot 21w08b! Here are notes for NBTExplorer

Image
 OK, since I created a new world, and forgot to turn on cheats, I am using NBTExplorer to do my starting out cheats.  I started a little normal, mined, found iron, made an iron pick, found diamonds, made ONE diamond pick to mine more diamonds, some Lapis, and Obsidian to make an enchantment table (instead of using my diamonds to make tools) I forgot about NBTExplorer until I made the Enchantment table, so all of this was after I got the Enchantment Table and a little bit of Lapis.  I made a stone shovel. This is the only thing that I will leave in my inventory. Recipe for Stone Shovel Crafted Shovel in Inventory OK, now I enchant the stone shovel with any enchantment. I use the Enchantment table without any bookshelves (I didn't have any yet, anyway). I got Efficiency I Enchantment (doesn't matter) Now I saved the game and exited down to the Single/Multiple Player game menu. I then minimized the window and opened up NBTExplorer and used it to open my saved game. I worked my way

Getting Started - Building a Base for Protection

Want to build your own world but having trouble getting started in Minecraft? This Blog will be written to help you do just that. I'm showing the following few screen shots taken in "spectator mode" after getting killed in a Hardcore world. These show SOME of the possibilities for your creations. These cattle are peacefully grazing down on level 12. I brought them down using a grass stairway from the surface. Here you can better see the stairway and the ladder that I first descended.  I plant many gardens, grow trees, large mushrooms, etc... all below ground. Closer to the surface I have Sugar Cane and work areas. First, let me say that I'm a Retired so I have time on my hands to play Minecraft. I can remember watching the Tutorials made by Notch. How to survive the first night by digging a hole and making it so no mob could get you until morning. I'm by no means an expert at Minecraft but I have found a few things

With your Base for Protection, You'll need FOOD!

Image
There are many kinds of food available in Minecraft. One is crops, such as wheat, which can be used to produce bread or other baked goods when added to other ingredients. Wheat can also be used to breed cows or sheep to produce meat and either leather or wool.  Leather can be used to make armor, and books used to hold Enchantments for improving weapons, armor, and tools.  Wheat seeds can be used to breed chickens which will produce meat and feathers used to make arrows. Wheat seeds are gathered by harvesting weeds (or wheat) out in the fields or from village gardens. Another crop is carrots, used for food or for breeding pigs (or getting the flying pig award). Carrots can also be used to make various magical items. Carrots are normally obtained from Zombies or from village gardens. Mushrooms are yet another food, one red mushroom combined with one brown and a wooden bowl will make mushroom soup.  Mushrooms grow many places that are dark or near dark such as swamps under trees, in cave
