Achievement Unlocked: Awesome Minecraft Server

MineCraft is an amazing game. My friend Rob bought it for me on the computer and he even has his own server. I've been having a lot of fun playing on survival mode, but also, since I'm an admin on the server, I've been building some pretty cool things. The coolest thing I've built is the castle. I'm not an expert in castle terms, which I've recently discovered there are hundreds of. However, this castle has turrets, ramparts, archery windows and a bunch of other fancy things. There is a fountain in  the middle with a hidden cave below it.



Fans of this blog (if that's a thing) may notice a similarity between the castle courtyard with its fountain and trees and the town center of the upper district of Praelatus that I posted in my last few posts. I wanted to make something as beautiful as the Upper District and then decided to make a castle to have a place for it. I'm pretty happy I made the castle. I think it's awesome. Also, if you explore it, you can go in different places and climb ladders to all the tops of the towers and also into the archer rooms.

Then, for the 4th of July, I built a gigantic US flag on the top of the castle. Someone pointed out to me that I put too many stars on it. Sorry about that. I'm not sure how I messed it up, but the flag is down now so there's no worries. I also had fireworks shooting off every 5 minutes off the top of the tower and I had a big fancy fireworks show on the night of the 4th.



We'd love for you to join us if you have minecraft on your computer. We have a very small group of players right now. We have good plug-ins with currency and shops and the map is there for you to freely play survival wherever you want. It's a huge map, so you can hang near people or go out into a faraway wilderness. There is PvP except in the Spawn City and the area around it, which is large enough for several players to play there.

There is also an events world for special things, so that's worth looking at. We're open to input and ideas from anyone who would want to play on the server.

The address is mc.gamingshmaming.net

P.S. If you don't have minecraft but would still like to look at the map, you can go to gamingshmaming.net and click on the "Dynemap" tab to open up a map of the world. Or just click this link: 3D Map It will show you an overhead view, who's playing, what they're saying when they chat, and other things. You can also put your mouse on the right side of the screen and click on the green cube under where it says "World" and then you can see a really detailed 3D image of the surface of the map. You may have to zoom in, but you can see the castle and other neat things with this view.
