My Future with Minecraft?

             Well once the buildings are completed, the final subway line, the west line is finished, then I will be done with Minecraft for the foreseeable future. I'll be focusing on other games down the road. I feel like I've done everything that I have humanly can with Minecraft all together and been playing on this server for years on end. It is time to change things up with video games and the game won't be uninstalled nor the server will be deleted but I will be saving the file for the world so it is backed up in case I want to revisit it at any point.

             So once these projects are done I will be moving on from the game for a while and playing other games. There is so much you can really do on Minecraft. I've been playing this since 2012 - 2013 well over 10 years. I guess you guys can say that I am semi retired to permanently retired from the video game as I've played it too much. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all on Monday as Kelsie will be doing the usual end of the week updates.

Moving Minecraft World To another Server...

         I will be moving my Minecraft server so other people can join but there will be rules such as: 

1) No destroying or modifying the buildings 

2) No asking for OP's 

3) No being disrespectful in the server. 

4) Will have to be a subscriber of the server for a bit so I can trust you. (Reason behind that rule is because my base was destroyed a few times.)

          That is basically the rules and eventually I will put a gaming server once I continue to grow the channel but that will be later on but this won't be for a while and I plan on gaming streams from time to time but it will be an unscheduled stream... So basically I will have my weekly streams on Facebook and YouTube on Saturdays and times vary due to my busy, busy schedule. Anyways that is the post for today, I will as always speak to you all tomorrow for another blog post.

What's going on with The Minecraft Server?

          So what's going on with the Minecraft server? I have been on it and been working on the Subway system and been tearing down old railways above ground and yet to have done that been tearing down the rails to the one where the snow is as basically I am planning to some how eventually resurrect the idea down the road perhaps. However the other 3 lines are being pulled down with the one that goes out to the desert is gone and is put under ground at this point. Also one that went to the villagers and ice world are gone and no plans for an underground but thinking about one to the villagers perhaps could be a possibility. 

           The other line going adjacent to the already completed line is being dug out but right now like I said I am removing lines above minus one line just the tracks but once the removal is complete then I will start working on the line on the north line above the property. However I am in and out of the game and haven't had the time to play so I am on and off the game. When I have at least an hour to play I will play but other then that I'm working around the clock on content which definitely has a priority. Even with the building, I have stopped working on it. I should actually finish the building at some point and I will. However when I have updates, I will give it but for right now, have a good weekend and I will talk to you all on Monday.

Minecraft Updates!

               Outside of my job as a graphic designer, community manager of ChrisBOnTheWeb, 10th anniversary planning and so on I've been asking Chris to turn on the Minecraft server as I have had the itch to work on the office tower. We have completed the structural part of the building standing 15 stories tall, the tallest structure we have built thus far on the building. Chris and I have taken a break but there is no way for the snow as we're in the snowy biome can come in unless it blows in but that wouldn't happen. Next step is to encase the building in the blue glass around this epic building. 

              We want to try and finish it by the end of the year at the most as it's been an on going project on the community server for the past several months. Maybe 5 - 6 months perhaps. I know Chris is going to be wanting to work on the subway next is the next big project to replace the above railway to the villagers and the other one to a random island as for the jungle that issue hasn't been addressed and sounds like the above railway will remain where it is for the foreseeable future. I will talk to you tomorrow as Chris has granted me the task of the end of the week updates from here on out.

Gaming Updates [09-06-2023]

             I know I updated you guys but I am going to give you a bit of update with the Minecraft server. I have started to actually work on the wall units going right to the top of the structure... Well the posts that are to hold together the entire building all together. But I am working on the wall units at this moment then when I am done with that then the big build begins with all the floors that need to be built up which currently I am sitting at the 3rd floor at this moment. 

            Now The Binding of Isaac I have made some progress. I have gone all the with Maggie and really impressed on how far I have gone with it. Also I played with Steve which is a modded The Binding of Isaac and yes Steve is from Minecraft that is where the inspiration to this mod and I have gone further and unlocked a ton of achievements in the last many days so I am getting further and further in the game. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

Gaming Updates!

            I know I haven't done a lot of updates lately on the video games but I have a couple of updates: 

Cars for Sale Simulator 2023: As you know I am playing the game more and more as I go on I have progressed well. Minus now I am barely scrapping by paying bill and getting cars for sale but I have made over 100k at one point but now like at 25k which is totally lame at this point.

Minecraft: Now the building is still in process of being built but I have finished the first half of the subway system that has replaced the old aging above ground railway with this new system and it is work in progress. Between the subway system and the building I am moving back and forth between the two but mostly I am working on the building with is quite a journey with this right now. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow for the end of the week updates and boy I have an bunch of great updates as I have made a bit of a good stretch with content and excited for what's next and Monday I will have a Food Review but talk to you all tomorrow!

Won't be Playing on My Minecraft Server Much Anymore...

               The title doesn't lie cause I will not be playing much on my Minecraft server anymore as I am out of ideas and the world has just become way to big at this point but you never know I may end up logging back into it down the road who the heck knows. There is only so much you really can do in the world to be quite honest and I have thought about an underground railway but this means aligning it with the current and it would have to go under the house itself meaning my house so that has been scrapped all together. So I'm not sure what I'll honestly do with the game moving forward.

                 I may try modded world single player perhaps or really get into the Lunar Client some more see what I can actually do in that game. I am just discovering things and started to explore underground. Not exactly sure the purpose of the game right now and it is a stripped down of the normal vanilla Minecraft as it doesn't have certain things like netherrack and I do not even know if it has a Nether portal and this is all things I truly need to discover but I want to upgrade the house at some point to cobblestone at the most but need the materials to do that. So that is the post and what I am planning with the game in the future but I think I am going to not play it as much and focus on other games in the meantime. As always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Gaming Updates [05-03-2023]

              I have several of gaming updates to give you guys. I thought since now gaming blogs are very sporadic like monthly to every 2 months, it is just time for an update at the moment:

Minecraft:  I have completed the village where that apartment building that kept hindering problems with the build. Also took out the basketball court and built it on the backside of the studio Office Building that is built. Now I am working on lighting in the arena which the basketball court is now removed while I do the relighting of the arena to brighten it up. Also I plan on working on the baseball stadium too to brighten up the stadium there too. I have a couple of ideas! After that, probably will not be playing much after that. 

GTA 5: Since GTA 4 crashed the file of the saved files of both with Roman and Nico & The Lost MC expansion, I have jumped back into GTA 5 (Grand Theft Auto 5) Just completed the huge jewellery store heist on the game and now playing with Trevor which he's one crazy person in the game one of my faves honestly. 

Luck Be The Landlord:  Well, I am now at level 9 out of 12 and getting closer and close to the end of the first floor. Still grinding on the game either way.

            Those are the gaming updates, the next one, I do not know what the plan is moving forward with gaming updates, might be a month, may be 2 months till the next one who knows honestly. That is the post and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Minecraft Updates [01-25-2022]

         It is time for another gaming update. I know it's been a while since an update and could of been last year the last time an update has come out but the house has been rebuilt with a small chunk of the old 2nd house was used for the building of the new house adding on a second floor going back to the old original structure. It only had 2 floors originally as the 3rd floor was an addition and as you can see in the picture the bell was moved from what was suppose to be a permanent spot back into the house on the right side as you go over the bridge to the bedroom area.  So that unit that held the bell remains there as a memory now. 

With the house done and with a roof I moved into the lower half creating a massive space for a farm, growing wheat, carrots, potatoes, pumpkins, melons and also Nether Wart as well so we can do some things in our lab below the farm mid section. Windows and crops have been grown and I believe the last time I check they are fully grown already. It's a massive farm but also the barn is completed and it's massive as well. Anyways that is the post today I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Deconstructing Buildings on Minecraft!

            My nephew likes the old format where you go upstairs so I have started to deconstruct the buildings I have including my house. So I am going way back in time where I began this journey a long time ago. I plan on having the animals at the lower but the top half not sure how I will be building it to fit it all on the top half so I may just be removing all of my building minus the steps going down to the caves below and the rest torn down so I can rebuild it.

           However I do not know what I will do for the top that is a question and a half. The old garden centre is partially dismantled and put in grass where the stone was and is going to be the new bee sanctuary. The old one will be torn down all together. Trees have been torn down as well, just wanted to make more room and maybe one day trees will be a thing on there again down the road perhaps. I have to finish moving the horse to their temporary pens and there will be a blazing inferno on the old barn after all the hard work, it's now a thing of the past. Maybe my niece can build her house on the top perhaps or I can build numerous buildings perhaps who knows. I could really change things up with it. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow. 

Chris

Minecraft Updates [11-02-2022]

            I have been working on and off on the 3rd building and it is completely finished. I have moved in all the guys in (villagers) and as you can see in the window is the call letters for ChrisBOnTheWeb that is embedded into the window of the building which is honestly really cool idea and wish I could double window the building and I may try see if I can but I doubt it but will look into it first and see and do the first two or 3 layers to see. 

              With that done, now my niece wants me to build an apartment building which is a huge endeavour to do really, a lot of space being used and may need 30 by 30 blocks or even more like 50 x 50 in blocks that includes an elevator built right into it too. Something I could even if I brought back CBOTW Studios YouTube Channel that was in question for quite some time but could be hours stream with me working on a build perhaps. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Minecraft and Stardew Valley Updates! [10-05-2022]

                 Time for another update. As you know I took the weekend off and had a good opportunity to actually work on Towers 1 & 2. Tower 1 is finished completely. I am finished with the tower completely. May tweak a few things here and there with it. Now Tower 2 is underway again and I am about half way built with the second tower and you guys can see at the corner of the second building the actually framework of the Tower 3 which is the next step and once the three buildings are done then I move onto the Football and Baseball stadiums to get things done meaning snack bars and bathrooms that wasn't added to the building originally. After that I do not know what is next for the world after as I would be finished all these projects and I do not know what is next for me playing Minecraft as I have done everything and anything. Maybe do videos with my Niece and Nephew perhaps to post to the ChrisBOnTheWeb Channel. 

                Now with the Stardew Valley I have expanded the house and added a 3rd barn for supposedly ducks but I have yet to add ducks. Been focusing mainly on the farming side of things with the actual farm so not much going on with Stardew Valley but there has been a problem with Pam. She's accused my character of being in her trailer and to leave her alone and I didn't even do a damn thing. I go to town to get seeds, etc so I do not know what the heck is going on with her really. Anyways that is the post for today and I will talk to you tomorrow as always.

Gaming Updates [05-04-2022]

                This update is basically all Minecraft related as I have been playing on the server I own with my niece and nephew as they have a big impact on that server. Anyways you guys have been getting constant updates what we have or I have been doing on the server. The first update is I built a elevator but not happy with it tho as most of you know you there is a sky base above that and just flying up was plan dumb. The goal is to fix that elevator shaft and expand the pod on top so there is more room for us but can be a project for my niece and nephew and I to do together.

            As you know there was a villager built which is now behind there and you can sort of see the building partially. Now that the Village is on it's own property or its own dedicated section. Anyways it was time to go out with the old and in with the new. The house was way too big for my liking so I am building myself a bit of a nice mansion that's perfect for me. I have to remember tne hole in the ground that takes you to the underground stairwell to the caves that has a ton of different taverns in there. Not sure how that will be incorporated into the new house or building aka my living quarters that I will have in there but we'll see how things go. Anyways that is the updates, I will update you guys maybe next week or the week after on this and what my next move is on this plan of attack and if I will shift the stairs or not but will know more when that last house is torn down right down to the dirt again then we start thinking the next step. Just another long process of taking a very huge building down and letting the grass regrow back. Anyways I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

Gaming Updates [12-01-2021]

                    Alright gaming updates and it has been a week or so since I've done one of these updates and maybe once a month is good enough for me but again it depends how much gaming I get in and there isn't I just do not bother.

The Binding of Isaac Rebirth: I went all the way and beat this blue Isaac guy, not 100% what he or it was called but I beat it and unlocked a bunch of things and one of them being Challenge # 31. That challenge has this big guy and it looks like Sheol which he has the brimstone shots and I hate it! It is a pain in my butt to be honest. However, I'll continue to try it and beat it and I think its a long fight but there will be a time and place I actually beat it.

Minecraft: I know I haven't spoken much about Minecraft but behind the scenes I have been working on a new world. As you can see on the right side is part of what I had when I across the island a decided to even out the land mass so it was all even. You can see I've added homes and buildings along with a garden centre as well. Looks really awesome. I hope to eventually end up adding more villagers at some point. I think I will be keeping the walls up and just add in gates to get into the area so this way the Villagers cannot go everywhere. I can imagine the mass chaos of that. I could also build a bridge into certain areas too! Anything is quite possible. 

                  That is my updates and hopefully by end of 2021 I will have the final updates for video games and I hope you guys enjoyed these updates for the blog. I got excited that I actually was able to give you guys an update on the gaming side of things and reason for a few weeks away was I have been busy with the collab non stop. Anyways, I will talk to you all tomorrow for another blog post.

Minecraft-- End of an ERA & New World!

             Well it is an end of an era for the long running Minecraft server that has had a lot of twists and turns, 3 different railways in 3 different directions, the massive compound that we had built with a glass dome. I ran out of things and ideas to come across to building so after discussing it with my niece and nephew, I have saved the world on my USB key and decided to start over with a different type of world, more of a flatland which you cannot dig too far down or you fall out of the world.  I will get to that shortly as I wanna finish up my update on the old world. I redid the entire end house in the northern region from wood to complete stone and I believe there is still stone there for expansion above but that isn't happening anytime soon or ever. I am ready for a new and more innovative project in this world at this point and like I said I ran out of ideas on the server as there is so much you can do over time. 

            Now the new world is going to be the building of a city starting with City Hall which will be definitely like my city hall, I plan on trying to replicate the city hall we have here and it will be quite difficult to replicate and I will try the best I can to replicate it. I had to remove one of the beams that I have built because I wasn't happy with it whatsoever as it wasn't big enough for me and I want it a little bigger. There will be a library and would be neat to replicate the city hall and Memorial Park here like we have but we'll see how things go, the city hall is the first project which will take a while to build and what I will have to do is do a skeleton of the first level and the rest should come all together from there on out. That is my post for today, hope you enjoyed it and in a few weeks, I will update again but for right now, I have to work on this for a little while. I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

Minecraft Server Updates for 08-11-2021

                      Got another massive update and this only part 1 of 2 of the updates with the second part coming next week on the same day and time. Anyways I wanna provide you with a two of the updates that I have for you guys today:

Nether Railway: It's not big  or long and it spans all the way over to the Fortress and that's it. Haven't really made any other plans to expand on the actual railway and go elsewhere as it is very easy to actually get lost in the Nether and not find your way out of there and it's happened to me before and I am lucky I can keep items when I die as I did the /kill command on the server and I ended up back where I was and had to go back in to wherever and whatever I was doing at the time.

Baseball Stadium: I know that was work in progress for months as it was a very very big build to do especially with 3 deck stadium to finish and been 2 weeks or more since I have completed the project and now sits on the property tall and proud and yes I visit it from time to time especially the CN Tower next to the stadium which is literally next door to the stadium. Maybe one day it will have a dome on it just maybe we'll see but I like it as she is right now its got it's own little touch but if I do end up putting in a dome it'd be a glass but I have the weather set to clear for 999999999 and no joke either. That is my update, like I said another update is coming next week with what I did and should be about enough for updates for now unless I do something really drastic to the server but I think I am done with major projects for now. More on that next week until tomorrow's post have a great Wednesday!

Minecraft Server Updates

                     I am here to give you guys and provide you an update on my Minecraft Server today. A lot has happened in the last while with the completion and fix of the ice rink with better suited lighting in there I put my attention solely on the building process once I finished the lighting in the football stadium. I started excavating dirty and placing down dirt to build the final sports stadium and start building the main structure at the bottom of the stadium. I had to remove some of the dirt from a hill side but you cannot even tell it was sliced into as it's a straight slice as it was before.  Then I put the glass on the outside you sort of can see it in the image to the right at the top popping on out and the second bowl was built. Now I am working the 3rd and Final bowl and with the water falls at the back, it will remain an open concept there there will be no seating built above the left field seating and where the bullpen is. 

              Now moving into the next part of the update, as requested by my niece as she wanted me to build a CN Tower like building and I know there is is two decks but I like it with the one  floor for right now. Maybe later I will add it to the tower but I like it as it is right now and I like it as it is and also if you can see its a glass on the floor so you literally can look down and see the ground from where you are which is definitely a cool feature to have and it has our touch to it. Maybe I made it better perhaps? Never know! Final thing I wanna add is I started to lay out the bed for the railway in the Nether and that will be the next big project to work on next is building the railway in the Nether as well. I have some other ideas for the regular world too, perhaps shops and what not added, I may see if my nephew likes this and expand the dome property to the side with shops and what not but I will have to ask him first. That is my post for today, hope you guys enjoyed it and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

More Minecraft Server Updates [05-12-2021]

 It has been a while since an update and yes this is the new world that both my nephew and I have built. Before we had nothing, now we have a obsidian wall with water and lava falls so any creature good or bad comes back they can be burnt. No clue how. Now as for the glass, we had no choice to put that up due to this clowns with cross bows are swimming up the water falls and over which ain't Bueno which means no good in my books I never even mentioned putting up a glass wall to my nephew, I just put it up without his ok but he was cool with it. Then he said why don't we put a dome or in his words can I put a dome and I was fine, I was heading that way eventually but tore it down but rebuilt it. He helped out with some but I had extra time and worked on the roof and walls and now we have our own society. As you can see below a line of brick and that is our railway to the sand land which I will get to in a moment. We also build my niece a house it's in the back which you cannot see as the render distance is acting up. As for the lines that is the crater creeping out of the crater itself.

Now to the end of the railway part we, I mean I started to build the second house and we have a second portion coming. My nephew and I spoke in person about the ideas and we have a sleuth of ideas and things to build which will keep us busy. This house is currently under construction at this moment.  It is all work in progress and when I have another update I will be sure to provide you guys with more as they progress on but for now no more updates at this moment. I hope you all enjoyed this update and I will talk to you all tomorrow as I have an updating on one of the projects I am currently working on.

Minecraft & The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Updates

                  I wanna start with The Binding of Isaac Rebirth, I am currently not playing the game nor have it in my library at this moment due to some issues as I got the final DLC which I have to figure what keeps making the game crash. Anyways the last known time I actually played the game, I played with Azazel and went all the way to the Devil aka Satan and actually beat the devil which was a major big feat for me and I am still to this day proud of this moment of beating Satan on the game. I have fought against him once and died but this time beat him and unlocked a ton of things but I haven't played since the game will not load and they might have to end up fixing this bug as non of the other games crashed whatsoever so I kind of find it weird to be honest with all of this.

               Speaking of weird and game crashes, the Minecraft my nephew and I were on which had a ton built, railway, villagers, Office Building etc and my nephew and I have started to rebuild our empire and the main village will be huge! I have a plan with that moving forward and my nephew already built his house next to the main village and this village will be gated so the villagers cannot go in and out of the village. I plan on making 4 different buildings within this village. Office Building, Library, Workshop and of course my main building and there will be only one door in and it will travel will be all indoors through bridges. Now the Garden Centre and the animals will be below and there will be an way to enter both, there will be stairs in total 2 one going to the caves and the other going upstairs then stairs going down to the shop and garden center and the animals obviously. The Library and Office will have built in elevators which is brick, signs and water to get up and down. I have started the front structures and got the blocks in where the other buildings are. There will be doors on the outside and have pressure plates in and out of the buildings so the villagers can go in and out no problem as the doors are made of iron this time around. If that does work for em then what I will probably do is remove the iron doors and make wooden and might just do wood all together for the doors as the villagers can exit and enter as they please. Finally there we be a way to go from building to building with a bridge and if it is raining then you do not have to get wet which is an awesome idea. It will be a mini city with 4 buildings. Yes there will be an railway at some point too I'm sure, nether portal will be back too and we will be adding up to 12 Villagers no more then that.

Minecraft World Updates!

               It is no secret that I have been playing Minecraft especially with my Niece and Nephew but I've been busy even off time when not playing with them and whenever they login again they will not recognize the server. So as you can see in the first screenshot is my are, my property, my house which is the front of the property. The bottom or below where the house is the Garden Centre which is home to all the wheat, carrots and potatoes. I would like to knock down the wall at some point and add a bit more but we will see and I can explore that option and start removing wall units and filling in the old steps and creating new steps but again that is something to explore especially with my niece and nephew. If there is a way thee is a will. Behind that and if you were to put a hole in a wall from the Garden Centre it would take you into the farm where all the pigs, chickens, cows and sheep are. Above the farm is where the horses are and we have a ton of horses even Billy Whiteshoes Johnson the III which is another story but I got Billy put away in glass so he cannot ever be touched. Finally the far left is the Office building which took my nephew and I weeks to build as we're talking about 6 story building which was suppose to be 16 stories tall so we would have to add 10 more floors.

        The other part of this and I wanna say as I forgot before to mention, to access the Office Building itself through the village aka the Villagers which this project took a long time and it is amazing how big it has become. You see the glass buildings everything to the right was the first build of the property there was a stone wall that separated the current to the current build. There was gates that were added in to access and I was the only one that accessed it but when I was ready to open it I torn the wall down. Anyways to the glass building which took countless hours to build. The one building is a greenhouse which can be accessed by either side of the building north or south side and same with the other building. The other building which is a lot taller in size but that is just like a greenhouse but with trees with foxes, parrots and bees which is very cool and it's very tranquil place to go to and just think my next move. That is my update and any other updates I will make for sure next week and I do have another gaming update but that's for next week!
