What a day/night/morning! It probably took 8+ hours for me and my wife to dig all the dirt/stone out of the area to flatten it out so we can build.  It was a massive undertaking, but we are experienced in terraforming so it took a lot less time than when we started terraforming for the first time.

We might be able to get a little more room in front of the mine. But pretty much we are maxed out on space. Our master plan is to finish this village and then connect the two villages by the Nether.  The first thing we are going to build is our houses and then the rest of the village. After we get done building the village and making the Nether tunnel, we are going to the end and getting a few elytra. each. 

It’s very exciting to the the progress that we made. I couldn’t thank my wife enough for all her help. It’s so nice to have a building partner with the same vision of what you want to build. I truly am a lucky guy. In closing I invite you to please check back soon for our future updates!

Things are going really well on the server. My wife and I finished tree chopping; we now have all the dark oak and pale oak logs we were after. And we even have some extra charcoal. We are now terraforming, and I will be sure to post pictures in the morning.

Also, the Straybies are part of the starter village that I missed in the morning. All the straybies but the horse were babies. Orphans that had no mommy or daddy, and my wife took them home and adopted them as pets. She takes great care of them, and I feel bad that I missed them in the earlier post. They were hidden by the house, and I was rushing to get back, and I totally missed them. And as always, I hope that you enjoyed today’s update, and please check back soon for our future updates!

Yesterday was more of the same at our second village. My wife and I finished making charcoal and started filling the chests full of dark oak and pale oak logs. Today will be the last day of cutting trees and the start of terraforming. Which I am super excited for because that means we get to build soon. My wife already picked her spot for her house, and  I have a general idea where I want to put mine. And then we’re going to build the village around our houses and the Nether portal.

Meanwhile, I would like to start showing you pictures of our first village. The village itself is rather big for a villager village. My wife cleaned it up and did some terraforming. Next we have the pathway down to our houses and gardens. I made the path down, and I did all the lighting in the village. I also made the path up to the house on the hill. All the other paths in the pictures were done by my wife, including the path down to the fishing dock. All the sheep were gathered by my wife, and I gathered all the cows. The farm area was a combined effort. I started the farm, and my wife raised it and improved it.

The massive mine was dug out by me, and it gave up a boatload of diamonds, over 20 stacks. The mine has no signs of coming to an end, and I intend to come back to the mine to mine more diamonds once we finish the second village. Overall, we spent about 2 weeks at the starter village. And as always, I hope that you enjoyed today’s update, and please check back soon for our future updates.

Yesterday was a lot of busywork on the server. My wife and I worked on making charcoal and storing logs (dark oak and pale oak). I would say we spent 6+ hours chopping trees. And today we’re going to be back at it again chopping trees. Hopefully today will be the last day of chopping trees. Because I am excited to start on the terraforming. We both have a vision of how we want the new village to be, and I cannot wait to build it with my wife.

Meanwhile, I wanted to show you the storage area my wife and I built. She designed it and did most of the work. I am so proud of her for another wonderful build. I did help with the walls and some of the rows of chests. It’s built out of dark oak, pale oak, polished diorite,  chiseled stone, and hundreds of chests. And the finishing touches of lanterns, which was started, but we still have a lot of them to put up. And as always, I hope you enjoyed today’s updates, and please check back soon for our future updates!

Today is terraform prep day! My wife and I are chopping dark oak and pale oak trees. We’re making charcoal and banking logs. We want 4 chests full of charcoal, 4 chests of dark oak logs, and 4 chests of pale oak logs. And then we’re going to take out the trees and terraform the ground.

Meanwhile, I wanted to show off our second village Nether portal. It was built with chiseled stone, polished diorite, polished granite, and cobbled deepslate. One of my future projects will be connecting our starter village and second village using Nether portals. I will be sure to take many pictures of the build when I start the project. And as always, please check back soon to see our future updates!
