A month of Glitter Village (GV) - "It's an ironic name Mum."



A month in Glitter Village



Saff's (aka CaramelTiger) 2nd Minecraft Realm Glitter Village is a month old today. A realm is an easy way to play Minecraft with friends online as it doesn't require hosting a server or whitelisting and it has mini games too.


I have written several posts on this blog about Glitter Village and last night S gave me another tour.



""I have made a cork board advertising for roles in the play e.g. a kidnapper is needed. You can change your skin so that you look more suitable for the roles. Apply now! Audition!

The theatre receptionist is a ginger cat. This realm started out with me and my friend R but he has gone now and it is 18 people. 5 boys and 13 girls.

This is a new set for the theatre with tents. They are small ones made to fit on a stage. I have cut the mine open like a Doll's House back so people watching the play can see inside. I built trees not planted trees as I don't want them to grow on the set.

This is a cat. Every evil kidnapper needs a cat. The whole director thing is inspired by a server I like called creativefun.eu but on there it is way bigger than this. (RP is RolePlay)

We have built a jail and shops and L's shop is already decorated for Halloween with pumpkins and cobwebs and skeletons. It is a clothes shop. The clothes are made using armour stands and heads. 

A has a shop which comes to smooth out the terrain when you have TNTed a build that has gone wrong. 

The dragons have built a really big house really quickly with this neat pressure plate that makes it say 'Welcome' when you go in.

These are my potions - night vision, speed, water breathing. We all have mail boxes and you can post basically anything in them. Anything that will go in a chest can be posted. 

This is the fire pit version two point o surrounded with clay.

Oh yeah and I made this aeroplane with a flux capacitor and a hyperdrive. Those are some cool time travel movie references I added.

I've been making fireworks - if you put a diamond in the crafting recipe then they look more like fireworks do IRL."

We looked at some of the other realm features afterwards including the player activity log where you can see who has been on and for how long. It was really informative / interesting / alarming depending on your perspective. The data is represented as a bar chart and you can see who is on when , for who long and who with.


As S has made a new skin this week we also talked about our first adventures with Skindex in 2014 and how they coincided with April Fool's Day when Mojang decided to turn everyone's skin to villager!
