Post where i talk about hobbies or a post that was not assaigned in class

Minecraft photography post

So here we are supposed to take a picture and then draw the photo. What i chose to draw was a frame out of a recording that i did of Minecraft showing a bit of Redstone. In the frame of the recording i made a machine that showcased a Redstone circuit that launched some bottles’o’enchanting triggered by a tripwire or a lever attacked by some Redstone wiring.

What i did when i drew the photo was I separated the main Colours so the browns, the blues, yellows, the greens and the grays from the the screen shot and i then shaped it so that i looked how i wanted to. I made sure that i had the screen shot in a layer underneath the photo that i am using then took it off after so that i had a good image to use. The app that i use to do this was sketches pro. 

Here is the photo of the frame of my recording:

This is the photo

I also have the footage of what i did with the Redstone.

Java vs bedrock introduction

So my subject is Minecraft java and how it is different and better than Minecraft bedrock (please note that Minecraft bedrock does have some things that are better than Minecraft java. There is too versions of Minecraft bedrock and java. If you play on console, switch phone or iPad, then you have Minecraft bedrock (please not that there is a Minecraft bedrock version for computer, but if you have Minecraft for computer you probably have Minecraft java. So there are some major differences between the two different versions and that is what i am going to talk about in this series of blog post.

Bedrock and java pvp

The first major difference that i am going to talk about it the difference between p.v.p. an p.v.e.

So what is different about the p.v.p. you must be thinking? Because it is the same game of course. But there is actually a big difference between the p.v.p. Please keep in mind that when i am talking about the java p.v.p. I am talking about the modern p.v.p. And not 1.8 and earlier, But in java the combat it heavily based on critical hits and timing your blows, but in bedrock it is more about spamming and sprinting at you opponents so you can get the most hits. An other main difference between the two versions is the best melee weapon to use. In bedrock the main weapon that you would use is the sword end or story, but in java you have the choice of using the axe or the sword. Now most people would say that the axe is better and while it is more versatile i will not say that it is better. So the axe is good for doing a lot of damage in one hit, but the sword is better for doing more hits. Now in the early game for most players the preferred weapon is the axe, later gameplay when most player have optimized items with enchantments the sword can have more enchantments and is therefor considered the better item to have. Please note that the axe can disable shields and that will be mentioned furtherer. An other difference between java and bedrock is the fact that there is armour toughness in the java version of Minecraft. What armour toughness does is it reduces additional damage that the armour would normally not (please not that only diamond armour and netherite armour are the only armour that have armour toughness) and finally the finally main difference in the combat systems are shields. So shields in bedrock have not recharge and can not be disable for a period in time and can only be broken. In java on the other hand a shield can be disabled on an axe crit for 6 second leading to much more balanced p.v.p.

 

Here are some photos of attacks in te different versions of minecraft

The outsiders.

So here ima talk about the humanities project that we have been doing. We have read the book the outsiders by S.E. Hinton. As we were learning about the book we learned about the different parts of a story including: the exposition, the rising action, the climax, the falling action and the conclusion. We also did activity’s on looking what the outsiders would look like now and we also compared ourselves to outsiders character in the you vs who character analysis. I think my favourite character from the book was Ponyboy’s older brother and legal guardian, Darryl “Darry” Curtis. That reminds me i did not talk about the other characters in the book. These are the main character from the book: Johnny, Darry, Sodapop, Dally, Two-Bit, Cherry and Randy. The first 5 of those character are greasers, and the last two are social. Greaser means poor person or hood, and social is a rich person who might have a mustang. My take on the point of this was to increase our world view and so we could think about the different aspects of world view which takes me to a different part of this project.

 So the different aspects of world view are: society, time, economy, values, beliefs, geography and knowledge. So learned about how their values are different then what they would be now and how which values mean more to us then others. The values that are important to the characters in the outsiders and shaped most of their characters and economy, geography and society. These values are important to theme because they are poor so they rely on each other, hence the society and economy. The geography shapes how they act at times because they are in the U.S. south and they can sleep outside if there parents have kicked them out of their houses.

Once we had done all of our learning we did and exhibition to show to our parents what we have been learning in school. Each group was given an important scene from the book enact. My group got the judge scene (so the main character Ponyboy Curtis has to go to a court trial to see if he can stay with his older brother Darryl Curtis). In the exhibition we had to perform the scene with props and then perform the scene again but modernize it they we think it would play out in twenty-twenty-one. At the exhibition we also had our scimatics tectonic chances board game. (At the end of the blog post i will put some clips and photos of the exhibition). 

The point of this project was to increase world view by reading a book, but not just any book: an important book, a good book and referenced book.
