Minecraft: Making a Minecraft House
One of the first things you need to do is make a shelter in Minecraft. You don't always need to hollow out the side of a mountain,you can make a house from scratch. As you can see I am upgrading my wood house, and this world is different from my old one. Minecraft deleted it. There are so many different types of houses you can make, this time I went with a normal two story house.
What You Will Need
What You Will Need
- Pick Axe
- Shovel
- Axe
- Building Materials (Wood, Stone, Cobble stone, Bricks, Planks)
- Wool (Optional)
- Chests, Work bench, Furnaces
- Ladders
- Fences
- Torches
Astronomy of Greece
The Greece had great estimates of Astronomy
Astronomy
Some important discoveries about the planet came from scientists at Alexandria. For example, Eratosthenes found a way to estimate the circumference of the Earth. His estimate was between 28,000-29,000 miles. In reality, the Earth's circumference is 24,901.5 miles. Another man named Aristarchus studied how the sun, moon, and Earth were similar to each other. He estimated that the sun was 300 times the size of the Earth, while it was really 1.3 million times the size of Earth.
Lastly, the scientist Ptolemy's view of the Solar System was different from what we have now. He viewed the Earth to be at the Center of the solar system, with all the other planets circling it. He was wrong. It was really the sun at the center of the Solar System.

Minecraft: Making a Fire Place
Thing about a fireplace in your house. It makes any living space cozy and comfortable, gives a great source of light and is just fun. These are some of the reasons why many Minecraft gamers have put in a fireplace. Not only does it serve as protection from monsters (they don't spawn in an well-lit area) but it also can be used as a trash can.
Things you need
Pick Axe (stone,diamond,gold,iron) NOT WOOD
Bricks
Flint and steel
3 blocks of Netherrack
Half-Steps, NOT WOOD
A portal to the Nether
===>
You want to make sure you house is NOT made out of wool, or wood. These things can easily lite on fire. This is why we didn't want to use wood half steps to make our fireplace.
First take you pick and use you portal to enter the Underworld. Take three pieces of Netherrack from there.
Teleport back to the regular Minecraft world. NOW WATCH THIS VIDEO:
The Netherrack was lit on fire by the flint and steel!

Utopia
Utopia means any visionary system of political or social perfection. When I say the word Utopia, three things come to mind, peaceful, free, and clean.
A perfect society has perfect people, and that is what makes a perfect society. A society needs peace for people to live without any problems. As one of my friends put it "we need world peace because people around the world are constantly causing wars, fighting with each other, or causing any type of violence." This is of utmost importance. Most of the world’s people do not want to live in a place filled with crime, terrorism, and fatalities. Sadly, in a dystopia this is part of everyday life.
Having to live in a place where your “two-sense” doesn’t count is not fair. You should get to place your opinion in anything you need to. Voting is a perfect example. If you don’t get to vote then you might have a very unlikable person. It would be like a dictatorship, and this is what happens in some countries around the world.
The utmost thing of a Utopia is a clean society. Nobody likes a place filled with a sense of pollution. And this is why we can consider our world a dystopia. A dystopia is a bad place to live in.

Minecraft: How to Survive Your First Night
Hi everybody! This tutorial on Minecraft is how to survive your first night. You will need wood,stone and a lot of patience. My Videos are not being accepted by You Tube, so I had to use someone else's.
On your first day you must create a structure good enough to battle a army of monsters. You will need to craft torches, picks, axes, and other handy tools to help you on you journey to reach you goal, diamonds. These is a cheap way to get diamonds, which I will show you next time! Hopefully it will be my video. I really enjoy Minecraft, and I know you will to.
Here is a good link that will give you some tips: http://minepedia.net/index.php?title=Minecraft_Basics
