It's time for another #MinecraftMonday! (Except I'm running late and posting this on Tuesday).
A brief recap of our adventures this past fortnight.
We're still playing on the Castia server. It seems to be a nice community, the server staff are fantastic, and the strong economy is helping with upgrading our stats and getting access to more perks.
As our town centre is now in place and protected by a nice strong wall, we turned our attention to claiming a number of future building plots. On some of these we placed pre-built structures. Nothing fancy, just some wooden houses. Each also has a sandstone basement. The house floorspace almost fills the full 16x16 chunk space, so there's plenty of room for the future residents to place chests for their loot.
Our first resident has moved in and built a dwelling across four town plots. We've also installed a spider spawner. A skele spawner is still on the wishlist, but spider spawners are dirt cheap. Hopefully we can gain some XP from it.
Most of our time has been spent working on increasing our job stats in order to earn more money per task. I have to admit, this has been very time consuming ... and very very very boring. I'm about ready to leave it to progress naturally. That said, I have built some huge monstrosities in the resource world desert while ranking up Builder and Lumberjack jobs. Sonicracer13 has been working on Hunter and Miner.
We have a shop in the server marketplace now. Fingers crossed that sales from it and our mini-market at town spawn will help with our running costs!
All up, there has been far more time spent on work than on adventuring. Hopefully next week will be a little more exciting! Although I do have to sort out the erratic collection of chests in the basement at some point ...
What have you been up to on Minecraft this week? Have you done any cool builds, or found a great server to play on?
