Minecraft Update July 2015

Minecraft continues to be the best value game ever purchased ever!


Hours played divided by cost - I can't imagine another game ever coming close.


O hasn't been playing so much. He logs on for the odd game of build battle on Hypixel or a build in single player vanilla when the mood takes him but his realm has expired and he's more into Moshi Monsters atm.

S is really into the Minecraft Comes Alive mod on the Technic Launcher platform. That's a single player game. Server wise she still really likes Hypixel and creativefun.eu and she has recently renewed her Realm but only has one friend on there (which is really how she prefers to play 1:1) Her best YouTubers atm are Aphmau, Stacy Says and LDS Shadow Lady - she still sometimes watches Stampy and Squid but less so.


E by contrast has more than 10 friends on his realm! He best of all likes to play CosmicPVP with his friend A and usually manages that for an hour or so most week days but otherwise he has two real life friends he plays with, either on his Realm where they like both the mini games and building or on Hypixel or the Zombie server H1Z1. He has also recently picked up with 3 or 4 new friends via the Unschooling Minecraft group and has had real fun playing with them. He's okay until group calls reach 5 then he struggles at bit. His slow reading also lets him down using the chat function but that said on any given home day 70% of it will probably be on Minecraft!

E's best YouTubers are Jack Septic Eye and Preston Playz and Ballistic Squid

He's keen to test out Steam games but love the democratic aspect of Minecraft in that almost all of his friends have access to it.

He's been though several pairs of headphones since my last post and is now running with a separate microphone but currently no webcam as he Skypes from our bedroom.
