So, about two months ago I put out a post talking about Minecraft. If you missed that post, feel free to check it out
here, especially if you do not know what Minecraft is. If you saw that post, you know that about three months ago, August and I started to build castles in Minecraft. We decided to see which of us could build the best kingdom on a super-flat world. Here is a recap of all the photos from the last post.

Remember, the blue kingdom is August and the red kingdom is me. So, we have
played around with Minecraft a little more, and I thought I would update you on our kingdoms' progress. We will start off with August's kingdom; it has a few more changes than mine does from the last post. First off, we divided the map exactly in half when we started to build our castles. To emphasis the division, August has built a ten block high wall aaaalllllllll the way across the map. (That takes a while of just holding a button and pressing forward.) He also put a movable gate on the wall, after another long bout of redstone work, but he only finished it after I had taken the photos.

Eventually, I will build a wall on my side of the division, too. The division line is the dark line of brown you can see on the ground in the above photo. Next, we have August's village. He has started to add onto it now. He has a fruit and vegetable shop, a butcher, an armor shop, and a bakery. In the front of the photo below, you can see a stable made of bricks for sheep and pigs.

This is a closer picture of the armor shop. The most expensive, and most durable, armor for sale here is 20 emeralds. Pricey, but the best armor in X-box minecraft.

Here, we can see August's farm. It has wheat, potatoes, carrots, pumpkins, and melons. To work the farm, he has two farmer, and two mules.

That is basically all the improvements August has made to his kingdom for the time being. He has also decided to remove the castle's entrance hall and design his own, but has not decided what it will look like yet.
Now onto my improvements in my evil kingdom. I have finished my arena, first off. When I left it last time, I was missing half the arena walls, a floor, and some stone-work to make it look nicer.

I have also put a mini-forest on one side of the village. In the forest is an abandoned hut, broken down and being overrun by the forest. It is basically my version of the typical "haunted house" of a town.

This is a closer picture of the hut. Some light filters through the forest trees, making it a touch less spooky, but it still is pretty dark near there.

Last, but certainly not the least, I have finished the castle's walls. Now, in the original design I found on Google, the walls were octagonal shaped, or eight-sided. However, I ran out of room ( the map ends two blocks behind the back wall) so my castle walls are six-sided.

This was a lot of repetitive work, like August's building the wall across the map, so I am glad to be done with it. Now, I have to make the actual castle, which I think is what I will work on next.
So, that is it! That is all the work we have done since I last posted, and there are some major changes coming soon. Hope you liked this post on the game that August and I play together!
