272 Things to do in Minecraft 1.18

This is a long list. 272 is a big number. It’s probably the biggest number I can think of. But that’s how many things you could do potentially do in your minecraft world. There’s even an order to it. What order, you ask? *has a private chuckle* I’ll explain.

This list consists of 4 categories:

  • 95 advancements
  • 86 builds
  • 74 farms
  • 12 treasure

I put these four categories in order of what you need, in order to get the advancement/build/farm/treasure.

For example, you might decide you want to make a basalt generator. Yeah, that sounds cool. Then you realize, you need soul soil. Which means you need to go to the nether. Which means you need good armor. Which means you need diamonds. Which means you need to go mining. Which means you need a pickaxe.

As you can see, it can get complicated fast. So I placed the things on this list in order of what materials are needed to complete each adventure or project.

Each build, farm and some advancements, I’ve linked to the creator’s youtube videos. There’s a wide variety of builds from different people that I’ve chosen. I pretty much only build with Shulkercraft‘s farms because they’re a good compromise between easy to build, actually works after you’ve built it, and fantastic block by block tutorials.

Last but not least, I encourage you to download CTM’s AA Speedrun Tool, even if you’re not a speedrunner. It’s great for tracking your advancements in an easy to visualize format.

Album review of Dawn FM by The Weeknd

Album review of Dawn FM by The Weeknd

Hi, I listened to The Weeknd’s brand new album that just came out and it’s amazing.

It’s really goddamn good.

The concept is that you’re dying and going to heaven or maybe you’re in purgatory, and you’re listening to a radio channel with 80s beats and synths and shit.

Electronic R&B? With a touch of disco? That’s how I’d describe the musical style of the album as a whole probably.

It’s creepy, it’s beauty, the lyrics are deep, it’s awesome, but it also addresses you, the listener, with an outro track featuring some wise spiritual guidance in the form of spoken word poetry.

It’s dark but with a glimmer of hope and peace. It’s like what death is really like. First it’s scary and then it’s peaceful I bet.

It’s not as melodic and catchy as his early albums, but the lyrics are deeper and the music sounds more complex, meaning more like experimental R&B. It’s more entertaining to listen to because everything is fresh and you hear new things each time you play the album through.

He has this part where he’s interviewing his dad. Or maybe it’s not his dad? Oh I just looked it up. It’s Quincy Jones. Anyway, his dad says that he used to leave women as soon as he felt attached and he didn’t know why but now that he’s an old man he realizes that he was unconsciously messed up from his mom having been committed to a mental institution, and how not having a mother’s love made him avoid love with anyone to avoid getting hurt. It gave me chills because all of The Weeknd’s albums up to the last two albums have been about sex, drugs, and music and he was very boastful about his sexual conquests and then something happened.

I think he just grew up and got more self-aware, and now his albums are like this, “I love you and I’m all messed up and self-destructive” thing.

Oh right haha and Jim Carrey is the radio host on the album and he does a really good job. He’s poetic and has true artistry in his acting. I believe he really is a creepy but serene voice guiding you from death to the afterlife.

Oh and I have something really cute to share with you. I read an interview about The Weeknd and Jim Carrey, they’re neighbors and use telescopes to wave at each other from their respective houses.

LMAO

How to Organize Your Shulker Boxes

Inventory management is highly individual. We all have our favorite ways to go about playing minecraft. The following post is how I organize my ender chest and shulker box inventory, so I never have to go back to my home base pretty much ever.

I Cook and Review Recipes from Cookbooks

Baked fish.

caroline-attwood-301746-unsplash

Yeah right.

This was actually a breaded salmon recipe but the only free photos were of raw fish.

It was a… strange process. This recipe involves these things: eggs, a little milk, crushed Italian-style croutons, Italian seasonings and then lemon wedges and horseradish sauce for toppings.

First, you mix your wet ingredients in a bowl. Eggs, milk, and… well that’s it.

Next, you crush up your croutons with a pastry cutter. Which I have been using A LOT. I used it for crushing butter into flour for biscuits and smashing Fritos. There’s something very satisfying about crushing.

Third, take your crouton crumbs, Italian seasonings, and… well that’s it.

Then this is the weirdest part: you dip the salmon into the egg and milk mixture, and then press the breading into the egg coated salmon. How weird is that?

Then I baked it.

4.5 out of 5 stars. Because I don’t really like fish that much.

 

 

Applesauce bars.

applesauce_bars

It’s a cake.

Look, I don’t like being played for a fool. These, “applesauce bars” are not bars at all. This is a fucking cake.

5 out of 5 stars.

 

 

Freeze-your-own herbed vegetable blend.

frozenvegetables

Now that’s what I’m talking about.

This recipe? 4.5 out of 5 stars. Pretty good, right? Well it’s kind of hard to fuck up putting something in the freezer.

But I did.

The recipe involved a lot of prep. I was cutting vegetables and blanching them. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the cooking term, “cutting,” it’s when you take a knife and with a loose wrist, chop at the vegetable until it’s cut into tiny pieces but not so tiny it’s liquid.

After prepping and blanching the vegetables, I made butter. I mean, I didn’t churn it in one of those wooden buckets with a mop, but I melted a stick of butter or two, (throwing off the lawyers once again, heh heh) and then I added a bunch of herbs and spices to it. I made mine Italian-style. With Italian herbs.

I boiled corn for this.

Then I took the butter and put it in a freezer bag. A small one. And then I put that bag in the freezer for a while. Maybe an hour?

After the butter got more solid and the vegetables were done blanching, I cut the butter into little pats and put them in an even BIGGER freezer bag. I mixed up the pats of butter and the vegetables and then shoved the bags into the freezer.

The only problem is that later when I used these frozen vegetables to eat with some dinner meat, it tasted like there was no salt in anything! So I had to add salt. Not the end of the world, though. People in the world are living in extreme poverty, I can handle adding a little salt to my dinner.

 

 

Angel food cake.

Angel_food_cake_1

This is what an angel food cake is supposed to look like.

4 out of 5 stars.

One thing about this recipe is that it tasted very good. Another thing about this recipe is I waited too long to make the icing and the cake went stale.

This cake involved taking powdered sugar and mixing it with something and I just killed it with my electric mixer. Also powdered sugar went flying everywhere all over the kitchen because I don’t know what I’m doing. It smelled so good though. The final result.

This recipe has only a few ingredients. You probably have them in your house. I can’t say what they are because I might get sued.

 

Eggplant parmigiana.

IMG_0765

I actually did take this picture. It turned out kinda cool, right?

4.5 OUT OF 5 STARS! This almost turned out perfect except for a few snags along the way:

  1. I undercooked the eggplant a little.
  2. The top was browned but the eggplant was not completely cooked in the middle.

But goddamn if it didn’t taste good anyway. The taste makes up for the fact that I ruined it.

Next time I would lower the temperature from 400 degrees to something else. Maybe 350 degrees? 375? I don’t know. I’ll keep trying. I’ll never give up on this. Not now. Not ever.

 

Bean and beef enchilada casserole.

enchiladas

Beautiful lighting.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.

This one was pretty good, guys. This recipe had a normal amount of ingredients for an enchilada casserole. And it was pretty easy to make too. Just gently, carefully, and lovingly place the enchiladas in the pan. Then dump that enchilada sauce on top with a lot of cheese.

That’s it. I’ve never been to Mexico but I imagine I’d be pulling a fast one on my host family if I whipped up this sucker for them. They’d be like, “Is this… is this authentic Mexican food?” And I’d be like, “Nope! Just a casserole! Just a bastardization of enchiladas!” Then we’d laugh about it and keep saying, “Come on, you old dog! Pass more enchilada casserole over here!”

 

Bacon and blue cheese biscuits.

Biscuit_which_has_been_broken_open

Don’t put honey on a bacon and blue cheese biscuit. Please. For my family.

This is your basic biscuit recipe but with a twist. Can you guess the twist? It’s adding bacon and blue cheese. That’s the surprise.

All-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, cream of tartar, butter and milk. But there’s more: bacon. and. blue cheese.

How did it turn out? 1.5 out of 5 stars.

I like the concept. But the application? It tasted like eating a piece of wood. It was dry, dusty, kind of hard, and a beaver was watching me the whole time.

I think the biscuits turned out dry because I followed the directions, which had a range to put them in the oven of 10 minutes to 14 minutes. What the f is with ranges on a recipe? I just want to know how long to cook it for. Don’t make me guess. I am using a recipe. If I wanted to use my cooking intuition, I wouldn’t be using a recipe. Don’t make me think, BH&G!!!

I just touched the biscuits and they weren’t browned like the directions said and I thought they might still be dough-y so I left them in the oven for the full 14 minutes. Amateur chef mistake!

Overall, I would try this recipe again. Maybe if I put them in the oven for only 10 minutes they would have turned out better. Also though, I don’t really like biscuits.

 

Caramel apples.

Caramel_apple_display_(3652153340)

What a disaster but also so good! 4 out of 5 stars. My problem with this recipe: I was bad at it.

Apples, sticks (the grocery store kind, don’t make the same mistake I did), caramels (unwrapped, don’t make the same mistake I did), and whipping cream. And nuts, if you like them like me.

You take the caramels and dump them in the saucepan. Then you put some of the whipping cream in there. Stir it around a lot for a long time over a medium or medium low heat if you have a stove like mine that sucks.

When it’s nice and liquid-y enough, you take your apple, shove a stick up its core, and dip the apple into the caramel sauce.

One little problem though. I couldn’t figure out how to get caramel on the whole thing so I was just kind dipping the apple in there and getting half of it covered and then using the spatula to spoon the caramel over the rest of it. It ended up pretty uneven with some of the caramel not even on the apple and some GIANT blobs of caramel on the other side of the apple.

Also the stick fell out so it was basically just me holding an apple and dipping it in boiling hot caramel trying not to get it on my fingers but I got it on my fingers and it burned me.

It was ok though because I knew it was going to taste like magic. I had chopped some deluxe mixed nuts as finely chopped as I could (which is not a lot), and I rolled the apple in the nuts. Then I set it on a baking sheet with no wax paper because I was out.

Here’s the best part though!! It tasted like the carnival!!

Next time, I would probably get my friend who was a chocolatier to make them for me. That’s the only thing I would do differently if I were to cook it again.

 

Egg casserole.

4203226021_c90a7f940c_b

Again, not a picture I took, but still looks like the uncooked egg casserole before I put it in the oven. I plan to take pictures when I cook. I just haven’t yet because I didn’t think of the blog post idea until I had already cooked a few of the BH&G recipes.

2.5 out of 5 stars. It turned out fine. But I probably used way too much french bread. Lucky for you though: I like french bread.

This recipe is simple and nice. 7 ingredients: bread cubes, meat, vegetable, 4-6 oz. shredded cheese, 4 eggs, 1 1/2 cups dairy, and then you got your seasoning. The recipe gives more detail about potential options but I’m afraid of being sued so I just kept it nice and vague for the lawyers who are always trying to sue me over my blog.

I made this with bacon, broccoli, cheddar, milk, and some Italian seasoning as my variation options. And it turned out good. But just good.

I’d make it again. But only begrudgingly. I’d do it for my children. (I don’t have any children).

 

 

Black bean-chipotle burgers.

4516996612_09916cbd76_b

This is also not a picture I took. It’s a stock photo. But it kind of looks like how the “burgers” turned out.

First of all: 1 out of 5 stars. I have several complaints about this recipe but you should also know: it was just ok to eat and taste.

This recipe requires a lot of ingredients so watch out. One of the little problems I had was that even though I followed the directions EXACTLY, the burger patties flew apart when I put them in the pan and it just kind of… turned into a stir fry.

Which is fine. It still tasted ok. But there was another problem.

I got the tostada shells from the store and they were carefully packaged and then I opened the box and the tostada shells were completely crushed into tortilla chip size! Who did this??

So not only were they not burgers, considering they were supposed to be in a tostada shell, but it kind of turned into nachos.

I would probably cook this again though. I like nachos.

 

 

Hot chocolate.

pexels-photo-228183

Well, I didn’t actually take this picture. It’s a stock photo. But it looks very nice, doesn’t it?

This recipe was pretty short and simple. Just how I like my men.

It calls for 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate pieces, 1/3 cup sugar, 4 cups milk and I added some tiny marshmallows to mine. Makes it feel like fall. Or winter.

The only problem I ran into with this recipe was that it was too hot. But don’t worry, I just waited for it to cool and then I could drink it again.

Overall, I give this recipe 5 stars out of 5 for its simplicity and how good it tastes. It’s way better than hot cocoa mix.

So make some hot chocolate today! Come on. Make some hot chocolate!

Minecraft

This is a dirt hobbit house in the plains biome.

The interior of the dirt house has a mixed textured floor of hay bales and coarse dirt, with a little cobblestone and regular stone tied in.

The backyard has a firepit next to a pond and the back of the house has a chimney and smoke is billowing out into the air, causing pollution probably.

Modern house made of spruce, cobblestone and black stained glass mostly.

House I built underneath a little hill. Along with some lamp posts and my hopper composter.

A Better Four-Year University Education

The Problem

There’s little trust between teacher and student. Students must be disciplined for talking out of turn. Students must sit still for 3 hours while class is ongoing, with a short 10-15 minute break in the middle. Students cannot be trusted to be self-directed. It’s assumed that, if left to their own devices, they would simply flounder without the “structure” of school.

The student is told they must prove what they’ve learned to the authority figure, the instructor. Unfortunately, the way the current system is set up, the main ways you prove you learned is through a paper and pencil test where you fill in bubbles, or maybe write in answers. Or, you write a paper explaining what you learned or make an argument on a limited number of topics to choose from.

This is in contrast to trust.

A college student should be trusted that they want to learn, and in their fourth year synthesis project, they can “prove” their learning much better by applying the knowledge they gathered into an applied-to-life project. Some students will slack or do the bare minimum and just try to get by. But just because there are a few “rotten apples” doesn’t mean you have to treat everyone as if they’re trying to pull a fast one on you. Most people want to do a good job. (source) Especially if they’re adults who are in school by choice. There have been many books written on this subject, and the vast majority of research shows that humans don’t need to be ruled by an iron fist to be productive. In fact, micromanaging people does the opposite; it demoralizes people and makes them less motivated to work hard, or innovate.

Teachers would be better served to be experts in the subjects of their personal choice, as well as educated on how to best teach. There are many brilliant professors who, unfortunately, don’t know how to teach the subjects they are otherwise so brilliant at. Ideally, teachers would have both an equal amount of training in their subject(s) of choice, as well as, in teaching.

The cost of education is currently unaffordable in the U.S. for most of the population. The average cost of attendance is anywhere from $10,000 for a state school, assuming you are a resident of that state, to $36,000 for private education. I don’t know of anyone in my lifetime, who is around my age, who has paid out of pocket, every last penny of their college education. Most get loans, scholarships, grants, and money from their families or state programs, if possible.

The Solution

But what if universities didn’t have to pay for a brick and mortar university? What if universities were a wide network of experts, who had an education in teaching as well, as you could simply drop them a video call when you need them?

For example, if you’re interested in geometry, maybe your university has an expert you can call, who lives in Switzerland, but is affiliated and vetted by the school, and you could arrange a time to talk with them about where you’re stuck with your geometry learning, and the instructor could help you when you need them. Instead of an instructor assigning you homework, books, and tests, they could make suggestions as to which projects would help you learn the subject you’re interested in.

While a video call is inferior to an in-person, one-on-one interaction with an instructor, it is certainly a lot less expensive than the current system of paying sky high tuition, which goes toward not only the staff, but also the buildings, the maintenance of those buildings, and the landscaping.

The buildings and their maintenance alone is 15% of the tuition’s budget. Imagine now, paying 15% less for school. That’s $1,500 off for a state school, and $5,400 for a private institution. The video conference idea doesn’t seem so scary when you think of how much it can save you long term.

This is my four-year plan for a university education.

In the first year, it’s a good time to gain the big picture, such as the theoretical knowledge necessary to understanding what’s out there that you can learn for the foundation of your education. You would be encouraged to pick as many or as few of the first year general subjects as you wish.

This is counter to the traditional system, which forces you to take subjects you will likely never use in your lifetime, and which you will likely forget. A professional dancer doesn’t need to know calculus, and a calculus professor doesn’t need to know how to do ballet. It’s okay not to know everything and to specialize and become the best in your chosen field, because there is a limited amount of time on earth, and learning calculus when you really want to be a ballerina has limited value.

Subjects would be taught all throughout the year, with one week breaks each season, for a total of four weeks off in a year. This is because health psychology studies overwhelmingly have shown taking a vacation, offers tremendous health benefits. (source) Some studies have shown taking a week to de-stress and get away from the troubles of school or work offers health benefits such as lowered cardiovascular disease risk for up to an entire year after the break is taken. These vacations also allow the brain to recharge and be in better performance for the learning that will continue after the break.

1st year (general)

Humanities
Social sciences
Natural sciences
Formal sciences
Applied sciences

In the second year, there would be a new list of subjects that can be learned, based off of the first year’s foundation of knowledge. The student would pick as many or as few subjects as they wish to learn for the second year. This year would be a hybrid of both theoretical and applied education. Students would do less book reading this year, and spend more time working out in the field half the time, applying what they have learned or are learning. For example, say you always dreamed of being a prolific novelist. You might take all the humanities courses, but leave the formal sciences behind.

Then, you might start a concrete, detailed plan for how to begin learning to write well. An expert and teacher on writing could be your resource guide, as well as your consultant. The instructor could direct you to the right places to find a useful book, or maybe to an expert who could assist you in the direction you’re working toward. If the teacher isn’t an expert on writing horror, but knows of someone respected in the field, you could try to contact them. People are busy, but sometimes they are willing to help, and their advice should be treated as invaluable.

4TH YEAR (synthesized)

Fourth year is your final synthesis of everything you learned. The last year, you wrote your bucket list of things you want to accomplish in your lifetime. This is the year to actually work toward those bucket list items.

For example, if your goal is to learn a foreign language, maybe you go to Japan and stay there for a year to immerse yourself in the language and culture. Maybe your goal is to make friends while you’re there and actively practice everything you learned about the Japanese language in your studies over the last three years.

For some people, this isn’t financially feasible, but that doesn’t mean you can never cross off any of those bucket list items. You could make a website based on your learning to share with others. You could build your own greenhouse and sell your plants. You could audition for a play in the city or a community theater. There are lots of options, and not all of them have to be expensive.

The final year is supposed to be about accomplishing what you set out to accomplish in your life, not just pay a fortune to get a better paying, more prestigious job.

College could be a place that’s more than that. It could be a place to accomplish your dreams.
