How it all began

When I first saw minecraft in 2011 I thought it wouldn't be much fun and the graphics were horrible, but I got to play it once and I was pretty into it. It wasn't long after that I started watching videos and meeting others online that shared my addiction of punching trees and slaying evil. I then met Tycho in my 8th grade science class and we started playing online and I had to teach him the basics because he had just started getting into the game. After he got the hang of it the first thing that we started to do was to play mini games, we sifted though a whole bunch and settled on cluster chunk. This is still our go to game today when we want some player vs. player action.

The reason I think this blog is needed is because we all need some fun in our lives and I think that posting this blog and YouTube videos about minecraft can be entertaining to everybody. I have also wanted to record minecraft videos to post on my YouTube channel for a long time, but had no motivation to do it. I hope this finally motivates me to upload more and get some subscribers on my channel.

The basis of cluster chunk is the survival setting of minecraft, but with everything you need in a organized place that you have to figure out how to use. The goal of the game is to eliminate the other person and prevent him from spawning back at his bed. The map is mirrored on both sides so that neither player has a terrain advantage. On the center of each side there is a giant octahedron or cluster with three much smaller ones containing more powerful weapons or tools to gain the advantage over the other player. The small satellites are distanced 30 blocks away from your starting cluster, with the other player's clusters 36 blocks away. The main cluster is the biggest, but most of the useful items must be collected from the walls and sides of the base, while the other satellites contain their items in chests guarded by spawners that create a large number of monsters that gaurd the chests. You have to build your own bridges to the satilites and avoid a barrage of arrows from the other player to prevent yourself from falling off to your doom.

I've always wanted to create a series of YouTube videos about minecraft and now I finially get the chance to start regular posting. This is my first attempt at recording with Tycho playing cluster chunk, maybe next week we'll try doing a beginner's tutorial to the game.
