Pictures of some buildings from parts of my city...

Even though this superflat world is glitching, I can still build stuff. Below are some pictures of my buildings that I've built recently.










I built flats, apartment buildings, and even a train station. When building this city I tried to make it urban but still have trees like what rural areas have.

Maps for Minecraft PE

Minecraft 0.9.0:

While I wait for Mojang to release the next version of minecraft, I though of a great update that no one has talked about. 

Maps:

Who else agrees that this is small yet important to put into 0.9.0? The next update is apparently supposed to have infinite worlds. The only problem is that there wouldn't be any maps so you don't get lost! Anyway, what do you think? Do we really need maps? And even if infinite worlds don't come around and we're still using the pocket sized world, is it worth it then?

Is the PC Version really that much better than the PE?

When I play minecraft I usually use my android tablet, to me playing minecraft on a mobile device is so much more fun. For some people it makes sense as to why they might play the PC version, mainly for the abilities. I used to play the PC version before my computer was too slow to play minecraft anymore. Since then I was too lazy to ever fix it. So my way of fixing the problem was to get minecraft for the mobile version. I got it off of the Amazon App Store. I'm probably the only one who got it from there. One day I started playing the PC game on my neighbor's computer and it just didn't feel the same. Maybe it's because I haven't played on the PC for such a long time. The controls felt funny, if it was then I can get used to that. Most people don't have that hard of time with different controls, maybe that means that people on the PC would be willing to switch once minecraft for the Pocket Edition becomes pretty much the same as the other. Who knows if that will ever happen, but the rumors haven't stopped about unlimited worlds. People are guessing that it probably won't happen until version 0.9.0+, I'll be patient because there are a whole bunch of other things to add and I can't wait for them to come out. Wouldn't that be cool if the mobile version and the PC were equally matched?

Top 5 Things I can't Wait for in Minecraft PE

When Minecraft for android first came out it was very simple, you had a few blocks to chose from and there weren't even any mods available. The app has gone a long ways now, but there are still things missing that can complete the game.

1) Infinite Worlds:

Unlike the PC Version, worlds are unlimited, which is great for continuously adding on to your world. It can also be a pain if you lose the coordinates to get back to you house. I heard somewhere in 9.0 that you'll be able to convert your world to one, but I wonder if they're going to blend the edges of the world together or if it's gonna look weird after doing that.

2) More Mobs:

So far we have sheep, pigs, chicken, cows, zombies, and skeletons, but where are the villagers, endermen, and the ender dragon? Of course you would need other things to add these mobs and make sense of why they're there in the first place, which brings me to my next thing...

3) Nether and Ender World/Portal:

It would be great if they added portals so you can get certain things without using the nether reactor. Sure it might take up more space, but it shouldn't take up any more than a few more megabytes. 

4) Jungle Biomes:

So far they have jungle bark and wood, but they still don't have a sapling of it, and it doesn't automatically place them down when you generate a world. They'll probably add this in the next update.

5) Red Stone Dust:

Okay so we have the red stone block, but you can't complete circuits with it until you have red stone dust. As you may know you can create switches, pressure plates, and pistons. 

With all of these things, minecraft will feel more like the computer version. It's gone a long ways since it's first release, and I feel that more people are going to buy the pocket edition app as more items and abilities become more available.

PocketinvEditor - App Review

The next app I woud like to review is PocketinvEditor, this app lets you put items in your pockets that you don't already have. These items may already exist in minecraft, but for whatever reason they didn't want you to have access to them. This app is also good if you're just on survival and you wanted unlimited items on something. I think this is pretty good, there's also an option for you to switch from survival to creative or vice versa. There's a free app and then there's the pro, which gives you access to placing down mobs other than animals like the zombie. It lets you replace blocks, for example, say you want to replace all of the grass in the world with sand, you just turned your world into a desert biome. You can even remove blocks as well. The app is a 4 and 1/2 star. You should try the free version first just to see how good it is. Then you should buy it, for me it's either go big or go home. Especially since it costs $1.72, and you can do a lot more. That's really cheap. You can get them for android in the link down below.

Block Launcher - App Review

Block Launcher - Is a great app for installing mods, skins, and themes. I love this app, it's great because when a mod stops working or it starts to force close a lot, the app will go into safe mode, which disables mods. In the free version, it lets you install mods into minecraft, there's a limit as to how many mods you can have running at a time unless you buy the full version. You can only play with the one theme that they give you, but not to worry because you can always install them manualy if you don't plan on buying the app. The price is just right, it only costs $2.17 in the play store.

How to Build A Modern Two Story House

Step 1: Find a place with significant space to build on.


Step 2: Map out a BluePrint of what your house will look like.


Step 3: Start building walls for the house.


Step 4: Connect the walls together where the windows are going to go.


Step 5: place flooring down.


Step 6: Raise the ceillings



Step 7: Add Elevator


Step 8: Add flooring and Walls for second Floor



Step 9: Finish Touches


You can either add another floor, or you can build the roof. 



Now you can start to furnish the inside and add windows. 



The Major City

Look at all of these houses, I put these houses back to back like sardines and they somehow have back yards.


This city is full of skyscrapers with suburban houses surrounding them.


I like the bridge that connects the two largets major skyscrapers, there are train tracks to connect them really fast.


The Mayor's Mansion

The mayor's mansion, if you consider this one is actually one of the largets houses in this world, it was also one of the longest projects I've ever done. I built this ontop of what used to be roads going in different directions, now they're tunnels with train tracks to get you from one end to the other in no time. The tunnel on the right litterly takes you from one edge of the world to the other.


The reason why I built a house like that over a whole bunch of tunnels is because I'm starting to run out of places to build things. Sometimes I just like to crush things and start over.

Comfortable Living

Ever thought about building a neighborhood on Minecraft PE but just don't have the space? I built some houses that are packed in what I would call a  city block. Most of the houses are one bedroom homes but these are really nice and spacious. 


With the amusement park being in walking distance, how could you not want to live here.


These one of a kind houses are very cozy and are fully furnished so all you have to do is move in.
