Mentoring Time

Hey,

Since the last post Kyle and I have gotten Mr. Watson on the server and have gotten lots done with him. When we got him on we had some troubles with the server running and stuff like that, but we ended up getting it working with all three of us on. Mr. Watson taught us stuff about the biomes (different areas thoughout the minecraft world). Since the recent minecraft update they added some new biomes and Mr. Watson showed us a few of them. Mr. Watson also helped us with a few things around our "base area". He helped us with making a mob spawner by Kyle's house. Basically what a mob spawner is, is a big tower that is dark at the top which makes mobs (enemies) spawn at the top of the tower. In the middle of the tower there is a big hole which makes the mobs drop, and when they hit the bottom of the tower they died and you collect the XP points (used for upgrading your weapons and armor) and any items they've dropped. While Kyle and Mr. Watson worked on the spawner, I went out looking for a stronghold since we got enough blaze rods and ender pearls to make eyes of ender which are used to find a stronghold which is where you find a portal to "The End" which is where the Enderdragon is. I ended up finding the stronghold pretty fast, but I couldn't find "The End" portal in the stronghold. Mr. Watson ended up joining me in the hunt to find the portal in the stronghold. It took is FOREVER to find the portal, it actually took us 2 days. Thanks to Mr. Watson we probably wouldn't have ever found it, but we did end up finding it! We will soon be going into the portal to beat the Enderdragon, but at this point we just want to find enough supplies to be able to have a chance against the Enderdragon. Mr. Watson also taught Kyle and I about modding. We made another server that has this mod called Hack n Slash and it's actually really awesome. This mod lets each player to be able to choose a special character such as an archer, warrior, or a wizard. Choosing one of these will give you special abilities. Kyle chose to be an archer, Mr. Watson chose to be a wizard, and I'm the warrior.

It's been really fun playing with Mr. Watson and I'm really excited to try and beat the Enderdragon with him and Kyle. We will soon be going to "The End" and fighting the Enderdragon so stay tuned too see how we do in "The End"!
