Last year's 2020 Sat 11 Jan EVO Minecraft MOOC final preparation in Discord and Minecraft

https://learning2gether.net/2020/01/11/evo-minecraft-mooc-kicks-off-its-6th-season-with-electronic-village-online/

 

In our first adventure of the season, we showed some newcomers around the spawn point and then set off to neutralize a nest of skeletons in the spawner that Teacher Vance I had discovered earlier in explorations around the wilderness portal, a great source for bows and arrows I might add.

 

 

 

 

On the first day of EVO20, and 24 hours before the official EVO kickoff event Jan 12 we attracted several moderators and a few newcomers to Minecraft. Heike joined Vance briefly in Zoom (pictured below) but I left that space after half an hour in order to focus on the others on the EVO Minecraft server and speaking in DIscord

 

 

Where? We announced meeting in 3 places

 

When? The event is set for Sat 11 Jan  at 1400 UTC

 

We gathered at the /warp Whitetower or /warp spawn and then went over to the /warp hub

Someone named ~tour_helper joined us there

 

 

From there we stepped into the Wilderness portal and were beamed up to the wilderness outpost

 

 

There is a high point there with a ladder up a tower where you can then jump into the treetops and get a nice view

 

 

From there we took a trail signposted "to the village" and crossed the river to the village with a red building added by Dak

 

 

Heike had had a run in with a skeleton by then

 

 

From the red building you can see a tower to the west

 

 

From that tower you head for another tower in a bend in the river at the base of the mountains

Here are the coordinates for the second shelter

 

 

From there go down to the bend in the river you find your way signposted up the mountain. Follow the torches.

 

 

Up the mountain we found the spawner guarded by skeletons

 

 

There was a grand battle

 

 

Most of us survived, barely

 

 

Hi mom, it's meeeee !!

 

 

You can suppress the spawner by putting torches on it. Mobs don't spawn in bright light.

 

 

Dak built a wall around the spawner designed so that skeletons coming out of the spawner wouldn't be able to shoot out but someone outside could shoot in.

 

 

In preparation for EVOMC20 in early January

 

Teacher Vance and Bobbi Bear and Jane Chien and Olivetree Grove and others have been exploring the area northwest of the Wilderness Warp at 20k x 20k on our classic server. Those are the X (-west +east) and Z (-north +south) coordinates you see when you press F3 in Minecraft.

 

Our new area is in the tiaga at around 19.5000-X and 20.5000-Z  Here are some screenshots of the area:

 

 

You can tame llamas nearby if you give them about ten bundles of wheat

 

 

If you feed parrots seeds they might sit on your shoulder

 

 

Be careful, some of the candlelit paths up the mountains come out on a skeleton spawner

 

 

 

You can recover wherever you respawn. Right click on a bed inside this shelter to set a bed spawn here.

 

 

Here are the coordinates for this shelter

 

 

Down across from the bend in the river you find your way signposted up the mountain

 

 

You can see some of the torches marking the way up behind AbuFletcher. The spawner is a good place to pick up a few arrows, and you might collect some bows if you manage to get a few skeletons before they get you. If you linger there they'll overwhelm you.

 

 

There are ways to deal with spawners. The first step is to light up the chamber. We've put enough light there where we can see our way in the dark cave, but we're leaving this for a group of EVOMC20 adventurers to sort out. Welcome to join us.
