- The Citadel | Westhill
- Working south along the Spruce River along the section that borders Westhill.
- The large mountain to the west – Westhill’s namesake – needs some TLC.
- Replacing dirt, diorite, and granite with stone, and some andesite here, and there.
- Will be making not of any points of interest that need extra attention.
- The Citadel – Western Cliffs (Twitch.tv/joelduggan)
- Some custom cliff, and landscaping work will be needed where the Westhill curtain wall meets the mountain, as they’re both made of the same grey stone, and related blocks.

- Minecraft SOS
- The new SMP teased last week on The Spawn Chunks has launched!
- It’s a Hardcore server with a revival mechanic.
- Each member starts with a ‘fate coin’, which can be spent to revive a server-mate.
- The supply of fate coins is limited, but there will be server-wide events that allow for new fate coins to be distributed.
- This is where the Solstice-5 inspired “terrain extractor” build will be constructed!

SUBJECT: Floating Islands Biome
Dear Joel, and Pix,
Minecraft used to be known for its crazy terrain generation – floating islands, sand arches, etc – but in recent years it feels like the game has become less and less exciting in that respect as Minecraft terrain is trying to become more “real”. I feel like this is a shame. Exploring new worlds in older updates was exciting when you came across weird, and wonderful terrain, something about it triggers the imagination. I have always felt generated floating islands are an inherent and instantly recognisable part of the game.
What about introducing a floating islands biome? Hovering above plains, or off the tips of mountain peaks, floating islands could be a really cool way to help inspire more fantastical builds, and bring the End-Game progression back into the Overworld. Floating islands could be a wealth of new building materials. I also envision generated structures that help explain the Floating Islands story, as well as a new flying/gliding mob, like a flying squirrel.
These resources would be difficult to access, without having the ability to fly. So you can lock ammasing large quantities of new building materials behind a tech tree that requires going to The End.
Curious to know your thoughts on Minecraft’s floating island legacy, and your opinions on whether or not it’s worth preserving.

SUBJECT: Creating The Bogged
I’ve been listening to your latest episode about the bogged, and was thinking of their relationship to the stray. A lesser known feature of the game is that if a skeleton sits in powdered snow for long enough it will change to a stray. What if the bogged were created when a skeleton sinks in swamp water similar to how a zombie changes into a drowned? Maybe limit bogged to only be created in mangrove, and regular swamp biomes?
I am curious what you think.

Thank you to our Patrons!
