sorry i haven't been working on my page... i've been playing fun games... especially minecraft, evidently :P

i've been getting into the golden age minecraft community since early last month, it's pretty fun! i really enjoy older minecraft versions so finding a community of people showing off their work, texture packs, ideas, etc has been really fun :3

admittedly with any more mildly niche community, some people are rather gatekeep-y or snobbish to those who are not long time minecraft players (if it's important to anyone reading, i've been playing since roughly ~2010, so I wasn't there for alpha), but overall the space is pretty welcoming! i enjoy looking at peoples inventive ways to use the really limited block palette to make wonderful buildings.

i don't agree with a lot of the sentiments about the superiority of old minecrafts lack of life and features, but i enjoy its atmosphere more than i enjoy modern minecrafts. i miss the modern textures though. admit it, golden age players, the old textures were kind of an eyesore comparatively! that said, i of course have an alpha texture pack even if i'm in beta.. that and the one shown in the pictures below; which is called "immersive beta."

anyways heres a world snapshot/tour! it includes my house, the smelting/shop area im working on, the castle leading into the area, and some other ambient houses and a greenhouse. :3
