I don't really enjoy staying in quarantine.
As a person who generally enjoys doing nothing, this is not fun.
I want to go to the beach and see my friends, but I can't.
It's usually quite exciting for me to stay inside, as I'm not very good at sport, but I'm just sitting about ten miles from a town.
And it doesn't have anything in the shops anyway.
So usually I would stay inside and do nothing. But I do go in the garden and sometimes running around and trying to stay healthy, but I don't really see why I would need to run unless I was stuck in an infinite IKEA.
Which might happen.
But it could. I DO think that people are overreacting though. Why buy hand sanitizer for this when you didn't do it in flu season? Why is everyone buying all the toilet paper?
And can I somehow get my hands on an SCP?
I don't know. This might evolve into a virus that does nothing, or we might (somehow) get an apocalypse.

Today we will be talking about your medieval buildings. In your town a building will be important. As in minecraft there are many biomes then you need different styles. In this blog we will discuss 4 biome surrounding styles. Desert, Grass plains, Extreme hills and swampland. Its important that before you build your castle you have to adapt to your surroundings and look like you actually live there. The ones we will discuss today are listed above. So first, we have Desert.
The desert medieval town should be made mostly of sandstone and stone. If there is a jungle or wood nearby wood can be used as well. Carpets can be used for shade in shops and other places. Fort walls can be made to protect the village but not a castle. Apart from sandcastles there aren't enough castles made of sand to look realistic. Maybe a simple tower that looks over the village. Also, don't use glass. It may be made of sand but you can't use it. As well as that, If your village is near the sea, you can use wood and stone bricks and glass. But as sand dissolves near water do not put the sandstone buildings too close. Now, hopefully we can go on to the next biome...
Grass plains can use anything. But since the bricks are a lot, I will tell you a few that you cannot use. Clay bricks, Ender bricks, Nether bricks (not including netherrack), or any type of grass (apart from grass). Grass plains are the most common biome in the minecraft world. Since it can be near any biome you can add almost anything in (apart from End and Nether blocks). Since it is also the flattest biome as well as the top of extreme mountains, you can have a lot of space to build which is good when you have big buildings like towns and castle keeps and cathedrals. Some main wood you could use is oak and birch, as they always grow in grassy plains randomly. Since the grass plains is finished lets move on.
Extreme hills biome. Looks a bit like the Trotternish hillside in Scotland. This is a high-ish peak with rocks surrounding it. The biome, not the landmark. A good place. First, lots of stone to build your castle. Secondly, a high place and flat surface makes it a great place to look on your enemies as they approach. Also, Your kingdom would be rich in currency as valuable and rare emeralds, diamonds and lapis lazuli are commonly found in the Extreme hills biome. A great place to build a classic castle on a hill. Also, as Taiga biomes grow nearby, its a fantastic place to make spruce planks. And you can easily camouflage into the hills as the enemies probably will not even get to the top and castles are usually made of stone=brilliant camouflage! The next biome is probably a bit of an opposite...
A swampland biome is unlikely to build a castle, but you can. Its more of the houses that are a problem. Swamp are muddy areas and if you want your village in a swamp or a bit over the sea then you need wooden supports. But the path over the area of water will have to be made of wood but on land its usually gravel. Cathedrals must be on land. A cathedral is useful in a swamp as that is where witches spawn in minecraft the most. There are also slimes that can destroy things so a heavily fortified swamp land is best. Mossy things are best for this. Vines also.as there is a lot of vines and moss in the swamps it will rather well camouflage. Well, I hope you liked this blog so Bye!👋👋

Yesterday we were talking about style of castle keeps. Today I'll tell you some blocks to use.
First, Defence castles. This theme should be mostly dark or unfriendly colours. It's also made from very hard tough mostly TNT proof bricks. Bricks should include obsidian and bedrock as these are the toughest and unfriendly looking blocks in the game. A wood for this would be the Dark Oak. Coal ore and soul sand are also very good choices. Soul sand is sort of quick sand and it slows creatures down. And small creatures could actually suffocate where its name, soul sand, is really useful as it takes their lives. Stone is a hard object and coal is dark so coal ore is very good for this design.
Next, we have ornamental castles. These castles are more bling than defence. For super maximum bling you need shiny and jolly and bright bricks. These include Diamond blocks, glowstone, Gold blocks, Iron blocks, redstone ore, coloured glass panes, coloured clay, nether quartz and quartz. Glowstone is glowing stone and redstone ore is famous for glowing when it is hit. Coloured glass is good for cathedral windows. For the walls of the keep they could be made from diamond as it is one of the most valuable and hardest substances in the world.
Finally we have an old castle look for your keep. For this you need to have mossy stone bricks, cracked stone bricks, stone bricks cobblestone and cobblestone walls. Then it looks like its been around for ages. If you want it to look very old then you can make a castle keep with the bricks, make a few holes in it and it looks really ancient. ( warning-do not have wood or objects made of wood. They should have rotted away by how old it is. ) The bracket warning doesn't apply to old castles that don't have holes in them. hope you enjoyed the guide! See you soon!🏰

Today I'm going to give you some tips on your castle keep. If you read my blog yesterday I told you what a castle keep is. Now I can show you some features inside your castle keep. Usually, to build you have to start at them bottom so lets do that. Lets see a basic dungeon.
I have a map for you. It shows a dungeon or underground prison for the bad people in your kingdom. The beds are watched by the guards at the guard post and when its time to eat they can go through the iron gates to the tables. The place to access the dungeon is that staircase there. When you finish your dungeon you can move on to the next step. Lets build the ground floor.
Next we have the ground floor. On the ground floor you have the entrance, The table and some banners. You can craft your own banners. The main entrance is to your design. As is every other floor of your castle. But what you do need in your castle I can tell you. I can also list some designs for you.
OK, so in your castle keep I have some rooms for you.

Must-haves
- kitchen
- banquet hall
- royal throne hall
- royal beds
Should-haves
- Library
- Armoury
- roof terrace (no plants)
- enchantment room
- Bathroom
Could-haves
- royal stables
- Servants bedrooms
- guest bedrooms
Now for the style. One style is Germanic style where it has lots of light-coloured bricks and towers, or a defensible castle with dark coloured bricks and lots of weapons. If invaders are a problem, you can have the heavy defences castle keep which is lots of dark bricks, preferably obsidian or nether brick, with very small, enclosed towers, so a small chance that somebody will shoot your soldiers and prevent them from defending the castle. On my opinion, the heavy defence is best for online players but for NPC* worlds the benevolent Germanic style would do nicely. I hope you enjoyed this guide. See you soon!
*NPC stands for No Player Castle

Sorry I have not written a Blog for 3 months. Many of them aren't that exciting but this time it might be exciting. I have a plan to build a Minecraft Medieval town. And I have a few tips on how to plan one. I think they are really good tips and I hope you find these tips very useful.
First of all, and by my standard the most important bit, you plan the size of your town. If you do not and you build you wall before building the town,you might regret and demolish the wall and this is very boring, time-consuming and most of all, annoying and you don't want to end up like this: 😥. Before you start building you may want to research what style you want to build your town as there are many. The main buildings are in a list for you. You don't need them all but a good town would.
Must-haves
Anyways, after you create the village you can ( on your opinion-fine by me ) make the castle keep. The castle keep is basically the castle you see in disneyland or the tower of London.
Its that bit behind the walls, O.K? After you build that, then you build your outer walls. Remember, when you turn a wall in a different direction, on the corner you make something called a turret which is really just a tower. Build yourself a red clay line where you will build your wall. If in a desert or mesa biome you must use blue clay. Then when you build your town an you're happy where everything is then you can put those details if you want. I'll update my blog in a few days when I start this minecraft medieval town and tell you what I've done and tell you all about it. Cheerio for now!👋

Tuesday 1st August
Today I dissected a wasp nest. Now, first, don't try this at home. Unless you happen to have found some wasp nests in your garden. And all the wasps are dead.
So, first of all, me and mum went into the shed and cut the nest off. We did eventually cut it off, but in the process, the sharp bit of the scalpel got wedged in the centre of the nest. when we got back to the kitchen mum looked for pincers and behind her back I got the sharp bit out and when mum turned around again, I was holding it in my fingers!
Then in the dissection, I compared the two nests with a Lego man. you could probably fit your head. No, wait, correction. You could fit your FACE in it. It turns out, in the bottom there is a hole which they fly into, and then a little area beneath the hatching area. Then there are 4 big ares for the baby wasps to hatch. That's all I learnt from the wasp nest. Bye!

Today I got a certificate for writing a brilliant story. It had punctuation, extremely good words, and leads directly to the lion, the witch and the wardrobe. Plus, with your certificates you get a prize and I chose some Lego, which is strange since the average Lego set is £20.00. Anyway, after assembly we had maths and we made a bar chart of what the main hair colour in the class is. The other groups did other things such as breakfast or how we get to school. Then we wrote a diary entry pretending we were evacuees in the countryside. Then it was lunch. Luckily it was macaroni cheese. After lunch we had some other lessons and then finally, I went to after school club.
At after school club I played skittle ball and managed to get 10 people out in 30 minutes. Very good, considering the chances of getting someone 3 times in a row is 1 in 100. After the first hour and a half we ate dinner and it was tasty chicken and rice. I ate all of it. Then I went outside and played ping pong. I won the game a lot of the time and finally the score came to 100-90 to me. Then I went home with dad and showed mum and dad my certificates. I had a brilliant day!
