CHICKEN PIT

A pit is a good way to keep your chickens under control in Minecraft. You can put a ladder on the side to get yourself out, and currently it seems chickens cannot climb ladders. Just tempt 2 or 3 of them into the pit and keep on feeding them wheat and the chickens will multiply beyond belief. You will also get more eggs than you know what to do with.

Did someone tell you a sad story? Do you think they are being a little over-dramatic? Send them a link to this video and I’ll play a sad song for them on my tiny violin!

A Mob Farm That Works – Minecraft

This is a mob farm design that actually works to generate lots of items dropped by monsters when they die – gunpowder, rotten flesh, string, bones and arrows. It takes quite a bit of resources to build, but once it’s done you won’t have to worry about running out of arrows or other useful items.

The spawner should be built 25 blocks higher than ground level over a small island that has minimal caves underneath it. This gives you more stuff because the inside of the trap is the only place within range that the mobs can spawn. Just stand on the island and watch the mobs fall.

This trap also has a simple redstone circuit with two pistons and water that washes all the loot out of the trap into a trench for easy collection. Another vertical redstone wire closes off the hole so mobs stay in the trap while the stuff is collected.

The inside of the spawner is 2 blocks high, so that all mobs can appear except for endermen, who are 3 blocks tall. Endermen are excluded because they pick up blocks and move them, and I didn’t want to have to repair the trap constantly.

Blemming Movie Trailer

A contest entry for the Moonpies channel. The challenge was to make a video without speaking, so I made a movie trailer using one of the templates from iMovie. I added some names to the credits just to give a shout out to some of the people who comment on my videos. Thanks!

Blur All Faces on Youtube

Trying out the Blur All Faces tool on YouTube, which is supposed to let you obscure the identities of individuals within your video. This video tests the filter on my face, my face with sunglasses, and a couple drawings of faces on paper. CLick these images to see the drawings I used to try and fool the face detector on YouTube:

Vintage Tabletop Bowling Game

This is a bowling game that was in my grandparents house. Sometimes when I was a kid, we would set it up and play a few games. It has metal balls that you bowl by rolling them down a wooden ramp. You can aim the shot by positioning the ramp. The alley has gutters, and a ball return on the side.
