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 continents down. I have steps and I have about an eighth of a square kilometre done already. This will speed up vastly once I’m out of the learning stage.

I have most of the house interiors I need. There is one each of these for the map by function and they include coloured carpet by their job. The wilderkin merchants, my actual name for the jobsona npc species, will wear outfits by profession matching these colours.

The merchants will also be handled by spawn eggs in mob spawners. These work in Bedrock Edition a block underground so I’ll be installing those in Creative mode before publishing the map.

The map will be done in stages. The Egypt themed desert region is the first stage. I have the next three stages named. Those names will be public later.

It will be a public server.

I’m running through my reams of notes I have about real life Egypt in the ancient world and also all of my fantasy ideas based on their culture. These will be converted into either npcs, locations, or quest journals line by line, word by word. Expect more Pages Found in the Desert as samples.

I’m willing to show off the surface level of the map and the near to the surface dungeons. Anything past there, or deeper into the monster territory away from the cities and towns, you’ll have to find on your own.

That’s where we are. Here’s an image of a blacksmith’s house. The loft is purely decorative.

Announcing Legend - Quantum

 Hello. C J here. I'm announcing today the official tabletop RPG companion to my upcoming video game line Quantum Dragon. The tabletop RPG companion is named Legend - Quantum. I finally get to write something in the Legend series again. I am very happy about this. The Legend series other than this one is done and will be out once its proofread, which may be a while from now. Reliably this series is the best work I've ever done on anything. I'm planning on writing setting and character sourcebooks for the whole game line as well but for now I'm working on the core book for the video game crossover. There's a free in-development copy in the Downloads page now. Have fun. C J Mcpherson

Minecraft Experiments - Steampunk Part One

 Hello. C J here. It's time for more Minecraft. This time we have some steampunk themed buildings. I'm doing these mostly as an experiment and they aren't in the part of the Astral I usually build, Ascala. Ascala needs more planning so I'm doing generic Astral themes instead of a specific nation this time. Remember that lighthouse form earlier? Well we're going in its direction this time. But first a long minecart ride from the underground station. And here we are in Port Stone. You'll notice the style of building is different. That's because it's a different part of the setting were building here. Here on the surface we have a boat waiting for us. We have a long voyage ahead of us. They've implemented some beautiful coral reefs in one of the previous updates. Believe it or not I've been playing Minecraft since before there were horses in it. Minecraft is still good. And here we are, at the new steampunk build site in the middle of an ocean. We h...

My New Favourite Video Game Part Two

 Hello. C J here. I’m just going to continue discussing the video games I’m playing for a while. I’m planning out another batch of Minecraft builds while I play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team. It’s kind of weird that these are job activities for me but they are. The Minecraft builds need to be done so I can learn some more things about level design. The Pokemon game is what I’m doing for fun. At least it was. Pokemon make great inspiration for the work I do and the stories I write. I’m now having to make more time for it. Most of the characters in my setting are inspired by the Pokemon games. Our main characters Ivy, Blue, William and Benjamin are all based on some of the Pokemon in the first three generations. Ivy is specifically a fictitious all black Pokemon. Blue is an all blue togepi, William is a persian and Benjamin is a tauros without the horns. I’m going to get back to drawing humanoid versions of the first three generations eventually. These to my knowledge count...
