The Egg Deployer

This is the egg deployer. Currently I have a "profit" of around ten eggs per five minutes.

You can only see the place where the eggs are deployed. I'm gonna make a special post showing you how it is made on the next post. Just wait for it!

The Incinerator

Nothing extraordinary with it, but it has proven to be very useful on situations where your inventory is full, or when you want to get rid of those blocks of gravel.

It consists of a block of Netherrack with fire, which will result on permanent fire. I also put a slab, that way you're not able to fall on the fire, since the head of the player's head would hit the cobble on the top of it.

Still very useful. At least for me.

Sunset from the balcony

 Took these yesterday while working on the balcony.

Soon enough, probably Saturday, I'll post screens of the tower inside.

The Enchanting Table

See this little table with a book above it? Well, this put us in a lot of trouble.

While going down the mines to get the required... ingredients... we both fell and died. We had to get back down, get our equipment back (thankfully nothing of value was lost) and go back up to recover ourselves.

Took us about twenty-five minutes to gather everything and craft it - around five to get the obsidian, twenty to find the diamonds.

This table is useful in a lot of ways:

1. You can make your tools stronger.

2. You can make your armor stronger.

3. You can make your weapons stronger.

4. IT HAS A BOOK THAT SPINS BY ITSELF! IT'S MAGICAL!

Here's how it's crafted:

- Four blocks of obsidian (naturally obtained by the mixture of lava + water and harvested using a diamond pickaxe)

- Two diamonds (obtained naturally on mines using an iron or better pickaxe)

- A book

To make the books you need to make the paper first. To do so, position three sugarcanes like the picture:

Now you have three pieces of paper. Position them like this to make a book.

 BAM! You can now make an Enchanting Table and enchant your items to level 5. If you want more, you need to make some bookshelves (like the first picture) so you can increase the level of your items to the maximum of 50, but keep in mind that is EXTREMELY rare to happen.

That's it. More posts today.

The Wheat Farm

A wheat farm is basically the first thing I myself build every time I play survival. This time wasn't different, but we built a very small one, like a 5x3 thing. Not enough to feed us both, specially when we got down the mine to explore it.

While NiPur was up there working on the Tower, I took my time to work on this beauty (which is... let's call... vital).

You can't see it, but there are blocks of water on the left and right sides of the crop field, respectively. These blocks are enough to irrigate the entire field you see.

At the time I took these screenshots there was no "harvesting" system, which resulted in we ourselves hitting each crop with bare hands and collecting the seeds and the wheat. But that used to take too long and we couldn't afford that time - we wanted to finish the tower and explore the other mines, that's why the need of wheat, to make breads.

This is the bread recipe:

Wheat goes in, bread comes out. No need to put it in the furnace, ironically.

See those torches on the ceiling, in the middle of the room? Well, they were taken out. The ceiling was flattened and I made two holes on it - one in each side of the room, right above the crop field.

I had to dig up, but the problem is - I hit the tree farm. I had to redo it a couple of times until I could find the right spot for both of the pistons. Here's a scheme on how it works:

The redstone wiring for both pistons is linked to the same lever, so whenever you pull the lever, the pistons move. The pistons are usually extended because of a redstone inverter, but whenever you pull the lever down, the pistons will retract (like the picture above), letting the water come down and making all the crops be released from the dirt. Then we just need to replant it and wait so the crop will grow again.

Here's the result of ONE full field (like the first picture).

That's it for now. See you guys on the next post!

The Main Tower - Far Front

Just took this one. The fireball at the top may receive a few changes, but nothing too exaggerated.

The Main Tower - Interior

This is how the Main Tower looks from the inside, first floor.

Maybe  a few more screenshots today, maybe tomorrow.
