Random Thoughts About Minecraft Add-Ons

Hello. C J here. A while ago I thought I’d marathon the original Harry Potter movies. I’ve so far gotten through two of them. It’s been almost a year of me trying. They’re long and really action and story heavy. The Harry Potter franchise took the world by storm ages ago and proved that a series of novels with magic as a theme can make an impact on the world. That’s the model and the impact I’m trying to replicate here.

I’m not going to lie, I am a very skilled fantasy author. I will eventually make my own animated movies of my work but the goal there is to ensure there are movies set in my setting. I want another phenomenon. I want to make something people can fall in love with. I had a thought. I’m looking into making Engineering Plus, an Add-On pack I want for Minecraft. It won’t be hard I’m sure since I already now a bit of Java. Engineering Plus will take some brainstorming however because I want to do it right the first time.

Could I Minecraft Harry Potter? I’m going to have to look if someone’s already done it. I don’t mean the Harry Potter brand name, which by definition I don’t own. I mean wands and fantasy creatures and spells with cool names. You could make the wands out of wood and rare monster drops. I need some rare monsters in the pack as well. Wizard Plus might be a cool project. I might need to make a series of these with Wizard Plus as the second one in the series. I’m not doing the flying car. That one wouldn’t make sense in the game. Brooms though, we’ll see.

The Tunnels Under Haven

 Hello. C J here. Walking down the streets of Haven is not always as safe as the city would like people to think. Yes, they have curbed the banditry that plagues the Southern half of the Coastal Road. The Desert Princes whose cities dot the Southern coast of the Southern Continent if anything make the problem worse for themselves with their constant rivalries and politics. So no, a traveller in Haven or in the River Lands is unlikely to meet a bandit or other criminal sort. But then there’s the walking dead to consider. Many of the basements, catacombs and landmarks of Haven have old foundations from before the city had its current name. In ages long past it was one of two competing capitols for the Desert Empire, both of which unified under the first Sand King of the Gold Dynasty, the God-Lion. It was never his place of residence and both the other capitol and the rest of the Desert Empire are long since buried under the dunes. Well, people like to assume they’re buried. People wo...

Chinese Food That is Very Saucy

Hello. C J here. I read a lot of cookbooks. This is done mostly for fun. I’m currently reading a short but really interesting book about traditional Chinese cooking. The book was written by an Indian author who has clearly researched Chinese food very well but some of the translations of recipes or concepts get a bit strange. I’m currently done the soups and starters section and am onto the section labelled ‘food that is saucy.’ Cool? Is it also savvy? There’s a surprisingly large amount of ketchup in the recipes. No I don’t think I want a recipe for hot and sour soup that is thickened ketchup water with vinegar and a bit of cabbage. No I also don’t want to take a slice of white wonderbread, roll it into a tube, stuff it with canned corn, deep fry it and then top it with sesame seeds. What in God’s name do they eat in China? And why is it specifically an image of white wonderbread? China? Are you okay? I managed to take out the vinegar, water and corn starch that makes up most of the h...

Fantasy Plus Minecraft Server Project Update One

 Hello. C J here. I thought I’d do a Fantasy Plus Minecraft server project update. Here’s the current state of the server. I’ve realized that you can cook over a campfire so I never need ovens. I have installed Blockbench and the Entity Editor Plugin. I have made stats, equipment lists and loot tables on paper for the gold skeleton themed enemies. Most of this will be run off three or four spawn eggs as the skeletons only need to go up in tier rarely and can have armour and weapon options including my spellbooks. I’m assuming this can be done in the entity plugin. I know zombies can spawn with armour sometimes. I will be recolouring the default skeleton to make my version, the sand skeleton. They will be run using mob spawners in the dungeons and in monster camps in the overworld. You cannot destroy them so get used to combat in these regions. I’ve spent a couple days learning Minecraft Bedrock Editor and I have the system of building worlds on the scale of tens of kilometre square...
