Minecraft With Realistic Money

 Hello. C J here. I had some more thoughts for my Minecraft server Fantasy Plus. The economy of the server runs off gold nuggets and is meant to simulate real world money and prices. Each one is worth $17.50 real money so I have guidance building it. I had the idea recently of allowing the players to eventually build bases that include resource-generating structures. I’m still working on how to get this to work in redstone but it will probably involve a command block each structure.

So, the server will evolve from the players gathering gold nuggets by hand from skeleton enemies in order to buy goods to eventually getting the goods for free at these structures. The thing is I don’t have to give you unlimited gold. If I make the crafting materials you buy free and then at a higher tier the end product crafted goods themselves less expensive or free then the players can level up the entire map slowly by acquiring more structures over time.

I might divide the map into eras like fantasy, steampunk and then science fantasy. I really am cautious here to not break the map’s immersion by building to hard science fiction with sleek metal everything and ships going between the stars. A slightly more metallic or futuristic high fantasy might be compatible with the look and feel I am going for. This simulates in a really realistic way the economics of running Infinity Game Studios.

Whenever I have a project I look at it not as a price tag but as a list of files I need made. I need to know the file types and what files are required to make larger final sale or marketing files. Then I need to know how to distribute those files and whether I’m monetizing one of them and how. I then know what software needs to be used. Then I acquire the software, learn the basics, make what I need and move on to sales. I go for the end goal and skip the complex financial step. It works for me at least.

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...

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...

Let's All Be Friends, No Really - Part Two

 Hello. C J here. I’ve updated my plans to make a Discord server for everyone here and on Facebook. Making a Discord server to my knowledge costs money. However, making a Facebook group does not. I’ve made a few of those over the years as well for various reasons. I’m going to look into this soon and then add the links here and in the menus here as well. I’m certain a Facebook group is what we need. I’m planning a number of chats within the group. So far my current plans are as follows. Art and Artwork Health and Wellness Food and Baking Magic and Spirituality Writing and Software NSFW I’m planning a private group but if I can get it open entry without a form or sign up page or anything. As for rules I’m going to reuse some from past of these I’ve done. Everyone is Welcome Be Polite Advertising is Allowed Follow the Content Ratings The Facebook group will take some planning but not any actual effort to build. It’s that simple. Thanks. C J Mcpherson
