Hey guys, this is the second part of our creation: Minecraft Mansion, if you haven’t seen part 1 yet, click here.

We’ve finished our Minecraft Mansion! We managed to complete our goals, which were to enhance the size of our mansion, construct rooms and a second floor. We first started by enhancing the size, then adding walls in between to separate the rooms. After that, we added an additional floor filled with chests, mainly for storage.

Fountain:

 

 

 

 

 

We first started with the fountain, as it assisted us on the creation of the entrance later. We tried many different fountains, but this looked best with a stair case around the fountain going up. At a second look, we added leaves and vines, giving a much more relaxed feel to the player. After that, we added roads, giving a much better look, and also guiding the player to the entrance.

 

Entrance:

 

 

 

 

 

After the fountain, we moved on to recreating the entrance. We laid down the road to the entrance, then putting wooden stairs up to the entrance. Later then adding flowers in flowerpots, surrounded with trapdoors in front of the windows, which gave an amazing look through the inside.

 

Inside:

 

 

 

 

 

Through the entrance, you will be greeted to the inside. Here we put desks to the left and right, one for reading and the other for computer use. On the desks, we put laptops, flowerpots etc. as decorations. We then put down seats facing out the window, giving a fantastic view.

 

Kitchen:

 

 

 

 

 

For the kitchen, we put in short seats, giving the feel of a bar, also puting a brewing stand as a place to put cups. We’ve added iron blocks, acting as a fridge. At the end, we looked the kitchen and decided to put in a 3 block long stove.

 

Library:

 

 

 

 

 

At the end of the mansion, we put in a library, with a ton of bookshelves  and a few tables for studying. We also put down a huge red and white carpet, scaling from the end to the entrance of the mansion.

 

Bedrooms:

Left and right of the back, are bedrooms, which are filled with chests and triple beds, with some windows and paintings. We also implemented a wall, similar to a lava lamp, but with water, it acted as a very well decoration. Also, we put many bookshelves down at the other end, also a very good decoration.

Dining Room:

 

 

 

 

 

For the dining room, we put in a long table for many players to enjoy their food. Beside the table, we also put in a small cabinet as a decoration, around the tables are also many windows for a good view outside.

Attic:

 

 

 

 

 

For our attic, we put in windows looking through (you can see them through the overall view pictures). I put many chests around it, as the attic is used for item storage.

 

Thank you for reading as well looking at my creation, Minecraft Mansion! The texture pack I used to create this different yet amazing look is Dokucraft Light.

Hey guys, recently Mr. Macpherson started a new task called Creations, and it is where we get to build something creative. So we, Jackie and I decided to create a Mansion in Minecraft! We started creating the entrance, then ending up with the first room. Our next goal is to enhance the size of the mansion, make a second floor and start constructing rooms! Remember: this is not finished, but a start to a mansion, it’d be great for us to accept some constructive feedback from you guys. Hope you enjoy the build!

The following is a book review on a book named Weedflower, it is a historical fiction based on the bombing on Pearl Harbor. This book is told from a perspective of a 12 year old. She is a Japanese-American named Sumiko who lived in California with her family.

To Sumiko, it was just another ordinary day for her. That was, until the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor came through their home radio. The American’s was starting to question about the Japanese-American’s respect to the Americans. To do so, they sent all Japanese-American people to internment camps. The Mohave people were sent before the Japanese-American’s, so when Japanese-American’s were sent into the campus, the Mohave weren’t happy. Sumiko met a Mohave boy named Frank in the internment camp, and ended up being good friends. But when the Mohave people saw Frank hanging out with Sumiko, they told Frank that the Japanese-Americans were not good people. After Frank heard that, he informed Sumiko to leave the internment camp when the war has ended. After Sumiko left, they never met again.

This book definitely connects to the aspect Homes and Journeys. This is because all the Japanese-Americans journeyed to the internment camps and then returned back home to California. This might also be connected to the aspect Personal Histories because this was told by Sumiko’s own perspective on the Pearl Harbor Bombing, Internment Camps and more.
