They really do add a lot! I'm glad you described it as weirdness and charm, as some of them do feel weird and I love that.

I don't think I've seen that character. I'll definitely have to look them up as they do look interesting!

Minecraft has a lot of interesting mobs, to include ones that were only introduced in its other games. One mob I really wish was in vanilla is the moobloom. For some reason, it just brings me so much joy.

What's your favorite mob from any of the different Minecraft games?

No stream tonight. Unfortunately yesterday was really rough and it's got my body doing all the fun stuff a lot of stress likes to cause. So I'm going to take tonight for some self care and hopefully everything has subsided by tomorrow.

Oi, #ttrpg community - lend a hand to me here with some fact finding!

Vidargavia @vidargavia.bsky.social · 2d

So i want a sea travel campaign - think Traveller meets Pirates! as a hex crawl sandbox. Has anyone made that? Does that product exist?

Recently @crankycalamari.bsky.social held a BBQ on the Obsidian Order SMP and it was a lot of fun. I think a lot of us forget that there are actual fireworks in the game. It was such a great ending to all of it.

Finally after so long, I've managed to find time in my busy life to complete the revamping of an episode. I cant wait to do more and finally move onto other locations on the waiting list.

Interested in #Fallout? Ever wondered where exactly locations from Fallout would be in the real world? Then the Capital Wasteland Travel Guide is worth a look. @domquantum.bsky.social does an excellent job in laying it all out on the map.

This is one of my current projects on the Obsidian Order Gamers SMP. It's been a hot minute since I built a skyscraper and I decided to play around with some odd shapes for this one.

Have you done any skyscraper builds in MC?

Throwback to 2021. This was from when I was on the Evermoor server and was building a pirate cove in Jamaican Georgian style. This was a fun style to build in. I've been thinking about doing another pirate cove somewhere, possibly my SP. What do you think?

Mark your calendars for Saturday at 7 pm EDT! I'll be live with a UHC over on the GamerDorks network with a fantastic group of people! I can't wait to see how this plays out!

It's been ages since the last time I did one and I'm hoping this isn't the last as I would love to do these as a series.

One of the things I've really enjoyed lately in building is rounding off my corners. Currently I am using stairs and trapdoors, but the new shelves will definitely make a huge difference once the servers I play on update as that will add a whole new dimension.
