Simple Redstone Signal Elevator

Hello. Today I will be telling you how to create a redstone signal elevator. This method is useful for lighting systems where you are short on resources.

First, build whatever will be connected to the signal elevator. Next, place the switch wherever it needs to be inside your house. Then, place a block with a redstone torch on it with the torch being at the same level the lever is. After, place a block with a torch on it above the first block. Continue doing this until you are at the circuit. (Note that it needs an even amount of torches for it to work. This is a very simple principal that when a torch is powered, it turns off.

PvP Tricks

Hello. Today I will be giving a few of my favorite strategies for PvP (Player versus Player). PvP is different from mob arenas in a one main way.Mobs are controlled by the computer or even more deep, the laws of their programming. This means that is PvM (Player versus Mob), or PvC (Player versus computer). I am very sorry for not doing a Minecraft blog in a while. I have done a lot of app reviews on my other blog, which can be found at http://jbappreview.blogspot.com/.

1. Jump Through.

As the name suggests, you try to jump through your opponent. Sneak up behind the other player, or distract him, maybe using Death Chat Troll (Where you say random things or funny comments to annoy or distract others.). Hit them from behind, then when they turn around, jump through them and hit them on the other side. Repeat until they are dead.

 
     2. Wait it out.

Find good gear and hide in a corner, preferably with a bow ready to fire in a hidden area. This way, you can catch any attackers off guard. This technique is very useful on crowded Survival Games servers where you don't want to have attackers on every side. This could be hurtful or helpful, as that would cause mass confusion in that battle. Using the Wait it out strategy, do /list if that server has that command, and when there is only one person besides you, sneak around and use the Jump Through tactic to sneakily kill you opponent.


   3. Alliance?

Make some friends. When they are off guard, sneakily kill them. Then, make more "Friends". This is very useful when the opponent is more skilled than you. Trap them, use previous tactics or just flat-out betray them. This will be hard to master, but it will rack up kills pretty fast.

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.

Server

Hello. Today I will be reviewing a server. If you don't know what a server is, it's just a big world where you can play with friends on minecraft. They are completely free and not a hassle at all.

First, you need to open minecraft. Some servers have certain versions, but it won't usually affect it. You have to make sure there are no mods, or you could get kicked off. Go to multiplayer, and click "add server". Type in "mcbrawl.com", when it asks you for the server ip. This server is a mash up server, meaning it has many games. My top 3 are Zombies, Hunger Games, and Call of Duty. They are all simple and fun. In Hunger Games, it's EMFS PVP (every man for him self player versus player,) and you just kill and not be killed. Zombies is like infection, and COD (Call of Duty) has many different gamemodes. There's gun game, infection, and TDM. In gun game, every time you get a kill, you get the next gun. Infection and Team Deathmatch are self-explanatory. Note that the guns, grenades, and knives won't be guns, grenades and knives if you set server resource packs to off or click no when it asks you if it can download the texture pack. The reward for voting is grenades for the day.


There is an ip for call of duty alone and nothing else, but it sometimes glitches and takes you to the main server.

Map Install

Difficulty: 3/5

Hello. Today I'm going to show you how to install a map. Maps are different than seeds in the way that there is structures and not just cool terrain. That being said, you can download cool terrain using a map. DO NOT FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS IF YOU ARE RUNNING A MAC!

First, download the map you want to install. Open it if it has a folder with a little zipper. Control C (or copy) the fold that has no zipper but has the name of your map. Now, go to the search in the start menu and type %appdata%. That is correct, there is no typo, %appdata%. click roaming, .minecraft, and then click saves. Control V the map. Open up minecraft, and there should be a world at the bottom with the map's name.
