Hello. Today I will be doing a comparison of xbox and pc versions. Let's get to it! The Xbox is good if you want to build something really big, or invite friends to play on splitscreen. The pc version is best if you want to build with redstone, on have mods, maps, and servers. The xbox version is less developed, because you can't have commands (which means no command blocks), there is less blocks, and there is no pick block. The default key on pc version for pick block is button 3, or the mousewheel. Pick block allows you to grab the block you are looking at without going into the inventory. It only works in creative. Then again, the Xbox version pre-owned at Gamestop is $10, compared to the PC's $29.99, so its definitely cheaper. I think that they are pretty equal, because of the Xbox's multiplayer. It depends on what you want.
Xbox $19.99: new at Gamestop
Pocket Edition: $6.99
PC version: $29.99

Storage Space (Build)

Hey, guys. Today's post will be telling you how to make an underground storage space. This method is highly useful if you have too many items, or I build it in creative, fly away from it with only a waypoint (Rei's Minimap), change to survival, set the difficulty to hard, and disable cheats. It's a fun challenge to find and build, and it feels really accomplishing to build one.

First, you should excavate a rectangular shape. Then, excavate the walls one block further and replace with whatever block you want the walls to be. Next, place that same type of block in rows along the wall, leaving a one block gap between each. It will need to be able for a minecart to fit between these gaps. Run minecart track along these rows and have the ends be at the end of the excavated area. I suggest having a sign at every track end and having that track hold those items. put a powered rail at the start of every track and one at the end of the shelf. This will stop the minecart from bouncing from the wall and going back along the track. Use minecarts with chests to hold items. create a beacon at the bottom if you want it to be found, or if you are going to hunt for it, create a pillar by the entrance. Light up the interior, because the light level will be lower than 7, when mobs spawn.
