Today's screenshot of the Jungle Adventure Quest designed by Mircea Patrascu - with Vance Stevens Linda Gielen and Emanuel (my son). It was good to see Aaron Schwartz popping in! I look forward to seeing you all again soon.
To take the Jungle Adventure yourself, go to EVOMC Admin Building in the center of our town (aka the Spawn building). On the second floor, there is a teleport pad (set by Linda) that takes you right to the beginning of the journey. Read MP's blogpost for more of the story and clues.

You can always invite us to take the journey with you! :)

I found a much simpler way to connect Scratch to Minecraft.

I found a much simpler way to connect Scratch to Minecraft. Still based on Scriptcraft, it only needs now Node.js and a small script to transfer commands from Scratch to Minecraft server.

Our adventure today started in the Temple and ended up here!

Our adventure today started in the Temple and ended up here! Thanks Linda Gielen for joining me today! I thought we could start mapping out the server by adding coordinates to safe houses and start building a road or something. Or maybe tunnels to be safer lolol Our railroad system needs a lot of work, but maybe a tunnel helps. Is there a more interesting way to do that than using just a Google Doc?

Mircea Patrascu is the ancient village you tweeted about in the desert biome?

Hi All!

Hi All!

During our playdates on Tuesday, I thought we could try out an alternative to Skype called Discord. If you are interested in trying it out, the download is at: https://discordapp.com/download.

Once you have downloaded, installed and registered an account, you can join the dedicated EVO Mooc Server I created at: https://discord.gg/GkC4E.

Discord also has a chat feature if you don't have a mic or you would prefer to only chat.

I actually forgot I had found a sand village.

I actually forgot I had found a sand village. I had never seen a village like this before. I found it about a week or two ago, while traveling far away from our city downtown. I was looking forward to explore new biomes. I like Mircea Patrascu's idea of creating clues for others try to find the place. Posting the pictures, but It's really hard to find it. I only know where it is because I saved the coordinates. I didn't think of leaving tracks so I could find my way back. I also started securing it. When I got there the whole village was turned into zombies. :O We will need to build a cure center here to populate it!





A sort of game that can be played in Minecraft: try to find a place based on some clues (pictures in this case).
