Stately Payne Manor…in Minecraft

Years ago (apparently 8 years ago, according to Facebook), I modeled our house in Minecraft. I can’t remember which version l, but it was on my iPad. I tried to find the world, but the file will no longer load. Luckily, Facebook provided this memory. Interestingly, I recently decided...

Villager Family

I have my first villager kids. Had to swipe all the beds and extend two of the generated houses into a community bunk room. 2 or three stacks of carrots later, there were hearts abounding and three little ones....

Obsession continues

QuestCrafting

I have been spending a lot of time lately distracting myself with Minecraft on my Quest VR headset. The immersion is fascinating. I have accumulated enough armor to gather the nerve to cautiously enter some of the extensive cave systems in the latest version. I don’t know why I...
