How do I make the dyes in Minecraft?

Leave a comment

Quick post here for you to accompany our latest Minecraft Realms survival video, where we make the world a nicer and brighter place, by dying all the sheep in a rainbow of colours!

Most of the colours are made simply using your crafting table, with a few like ‘cactus green’ needing you to put the cactus cubes in the furnace first, to extract the colour.

Rainbow Baaaaaa-rbers!! (We-Game Realms #7)

Leave a comment

Red and yellow and pink and green…

Welcome back to our Realms survival world, where we are making the world a brighter, more colourful and fluffy place…

Yes, that’s right – today we’re getting creative with dyes and changing the bland, lackluster appearance of our normal sheep and making them all colourful and beautiful – then we’re stealing their wool to make rugs 😦

Don’t worry, they won’t be too cold for long, the lovely colours will grow back pretty quick!

Tried and Tested (#7) ‘The Present Factory’

Leave a comment

Today’s video is the latest in our Tried and Tested series and we’re playing the Minecraft Minigame ‘The Present Factory’.

The goal in this game is to arrange blocks on a factory floor in such a way that you turn a series of inputs (stacks of presents) into a desired series of outputs at the other side of the room. For instance, you might have a system that only sends presents to the output if they are larger than the previous stack, or one that only sends the largest stack of presents. There are a whole range of custom ‘conveyor belt’ blocks in this minigame, which you use to move and sort the presents in various ways to solve the puzzle.

There are apparently 20 puzzles of more-or-less increasing difficulty, starting at the absolutely easy first puzzle and ending at the fiendishly difficult twentieth puzzle – we made it quickly through the first few as you’ll see and then had to work our brains REALLY hard to get through the next couple that we tried off camera! 🙂 You’ll need you brains in full gear for this one…

That said, if any of the puzzles prove too difficult for you, there is a built-in hint system which will provide you two hints per puzzle, as well as a free solution if one is required. There’s no shame in using a free solution (or so we told ourselves).

If you want to try this for yourself you can find more information on the map here, or find it automatically in the Minecraft Realms mini-game section, which is where we played it from. Enjoy!

Realms…Our new Minecraft Adventure

Leave a comment

For a while now we’ve been chatting about trying out the new-ish Minecraft Realms add-in to the game. Anyone familiar with Minecraft PE on Android or iPad will know that it’s lots of fun being able to play with your friends on their tablet, if you’re sharing the same wifi signal.

Until Realms came along, this wasn’t really an option on PC Minecraft – you either played servers with random people (and possibly logged in with real-world friends) or played the main game alone.

Realms allows you to set up your own private mini-server effectively, where you can invite up to 10 friends to join you. You can log-in to the world at any time, as can your friends, wherever they are! So, it’s a nice, safe way to play in Minecraft with your friends, without being on main servers.

So, we’ve decided to do a little series, where HopperBoy and I create a survival world in Realms and work from scratch together to see if we can make it all the way through the game, in the hard setting. If you want to see how we manage, check out our new video series ‘Realms’, where you can follow us day-by-day as we adventure through a new world together. The series starts tomorrow, so look out for the first video 🙂
