- Lush Cave Lighting
- Finished lighting up the lush cave under the mushroom island. A solid two streams of work.
- Added a “porthole” to the top center of the lush cave to make it easy to fly in, and out of.
- Measured out the dimensions of the lush cave, and the dimensions of the mushroom island.
- The lush cave is about 130×130 blocks, but it’s an “L” shape.

- Mushroom Island
- Sorted out the center of the mushroom island, and set up a staging area nearby in what felt a little more central to the landscape.
- Mushroom island is about 700×700 blocks.
- Looking at making a shulker farm.
- Used the Shulkermites (Voodoobeard.com) data pack to get a shulker on the mushroom island since it’s tens of thousands of blocks away from spawn.
- Also looking into mob farm designs with a central drop shoot for the lush cave.
- May pivot to create a focused creeper farm.

SUBJECT: Nautilus
Greetings Pix, and Joel,
One of the things that I think could help the nautilus mob go from an interesting aside to something more useful is a way to transport it out of water. That way we can take it to underground aquifers when caving, and between bases for underwater building, and terraforming. Using a lead on an aquatic mob to move it through caves both feels like it should kill the nautilus, and would be unwieldy. The nautilus seems too big to fit in a bucket like axolotls…
Do you think a way to transport these mobs would be a good idea, and how would you implement it?
Cheers,
CJ
CJ died while trying to defend his newfound nautilus from an underground army of creepers while it slowly crawled to the nearest aquifer.
Thanks to our top patrons!

Mounts Of Mayhem
Mounts Of Mayhem is the final Minecraft game drop of 2025 and it will bring an all-new ridable mob out of its shell, and resurrects another from the dead. (Or at least from Creative Mode). Jonny, and Joel share their initial thoughts on the nautilus, the zombie horse, and a pointy new player weapon, the spear.
