Here’s my entry!

Here’s my submission on Blades of Fire! Thoroughly enjoyable.

If I could give a soundtrack to a book, it would be It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover, and I’d use the Billie Eilish album Hit Me Hard And Soft. The album covers a wide range of deep and complex emotions, and the book follows a relationship which ends up becoming abusive and toxic. I feel the intense emotions of the album mirror this.

Rechargeable batteries! I use my Xbox daily to watch TV or play games, and it’s surprising how quickly batteries lose charge! To have this plugged in with two sets of fully charged replacements is so handy & saves money on usual batteries in the long run!

Here is my submission! I’ve recreated a scene from Wandavision, the scene in which Wanda loses control of her emotions and creates The Hex with her powers. For those who may not have seen, she is full of grief and emotion, which leads her to essentially create her own little world and bring back Vision, who she misses dearly. I obviously had inanimate objects to work with, so you have to use your imagination with the objects that she magics into her world!

I’ve inserted a clip of the scene I’m recreating!

Here are my best tips for successfully caring for your critters!

Your critters work hard, so make sure you feed them so their energy levels are sufficiently replenished - they deserve treating nicely!! Oh and remember that critters are just like us in the sense that they have favourite things and preferences, so try to match feeding to what they really like! They’ll love you for it!

Playing and completing activities will open up more and more options for you when it comes to customisation, and hey it’s nice to play with your critter friends anyway! So it’s a win win! The more you play and interact, the more options you have to change up your critter in various ways!

Make your home space just as nice as the cafe! You want everything to feel comfortable, look nice and generally to be an enjoyable space for you and your critter to hang!

Groom them regularly just like you would a household pet! They’ll appreciate it and after all, you want them looking their best in the cafe, right?

This links in with the first point about food for energy levels, but allow them to fully rest too! This will again help replenish energy so they can have more fun and successful days!

I really enjoy the videos from creator ‘Geekism’ on YouTube. I find the way he talks through what he’s doing / describes the game to not only be very helpful and insightful but he also has a generally calming and lovely voice which makes you wanna stick around and watch the videos! He makes it fun while still explaining what he’s doing and being informative!

This is my Minecraft garden! I’ve never set myself the challenge to create something like this before, so I’m really proud of my efforts despite being perhaps more basic than some talented Minecraft users!

I found a little island with not much there, so I decided to make the grass stretch out further and create my garden. I had to first lay the foundations and make this land big enough, and then I got to work with fences, saplings & flowers! I did each section of the garden at a time until i had a big rectangular space!

Here’s the thought that went into my garden:

• There are a few different types of flowers and they’re separated into different corners of the garden. Poppies, sunflowers, tulips and orchids.

• Lanterns are placed at four locations (generally near each gate) for light and to deter scary creatures at nighttime!

• A cherry fence and matching cherry gates surround the garden to create a nice enclosure!

• A prismarine brick walkway links all four gates together to give the garden a nice path for any visitors to use!

• My huge cherry tree is so gorgeous and drops stunning petals across the garden!

• A roaring camp fire keeps the garden bright at night, as well as warm!

Thanks for visiting my Minecraft garden!
