I'll be on the Astraea SMP and here in a limited capacity.

Things have gotten too tough for me personally and I need a break from gameplay responsibilities. I'll be finishing setting up the Halloween event, but after that I'll be around less often for a while. Just need a break.

My costume for the Halloween party on Astraea is steampunk inspired :D

I loved putting this outfit together! I did look at some reference photos to get an idea of what to do, but the outfit is my own design.

A minecraft screenshot of a player character standing on the beach. She's looking up at the sky. Her outfit is steampunk inspired with goggles, a pink and brown leather dress and boots. She's wearing the cobalt elytra, and the purples in her dress match the wings well.

I'm so excited to see it all come together when the boxes drop!!

Thank you also to Randy for the trophy designs, Evan and Asumi for the Nether Roof portal design, and Devin for the black sun.

I can't wait to see how the contest turns out and to party with you all in Halloween Town on Halloween!

The Halloween Town contest on the #AstraeaSMP is underway!

It took from September 4th to October 1st to prepare the land, build boxes, portal area, villagers and other mobs.

Thank you especially to Asumi for the sand and prep, and Rubix and Evan for helping terraform early in the process.

I think they've been doing it for a while. I found one for the pale garden challenge too. You can find them with searching for community challenge rewards.

This isn't the first time they released skins for java players.

Sometimes I stop and remember what it used to look like when I first joined, and I'm so grateful and proud that my land and all the work I do on the #AstraeaSMP has come such a far distance from where it was.

Happy Anniversary, Astraea! One year on 9.28!

a minecraft screenshot of a nether roof. Small portals dot the landscape as a giant amethyst willow tree looms in the distance. The sparkly crystals and end rods glow in a magical, eerie way.

A minecraft screenshot of the overworld. The full moon rises over a small creek, with custom terraforming in the foreground. In the distance, the big old tree of the New Player House is visible. Stars and fireflies make a magical night.

An overhead screenshot of a megabase build rising up out of the darkness of dawn. A large custom tree tops a giant mountain home. Below, an unassuming pyramid structure throws a beacon beam to the sky. In the distance, cherry trees and the beginnings of a town are visible.

I don't need any other reason to add alt text. Being considerate of those with screen readers who can't see is enough of a reason for me. I try to make my alt text as interesting and beautiful as the image they aren't seeing.

When i was an app UX design/dev, most of my days were pure CSS and Javascript coding, especially if the client wanted fancy code created graphical animations. 😅 I think it depends on the dev job how much time you actually code per day.

Don't let the running time deceive you. I've put more work into this video than any single piece of content I've ever produced. So, inherent value, right?

I went fishing with @gaia1133.bsky.social at her base and it was nice and fun! Even got some nautilus shells for a conduit! Thank you for letting me fish with you Gaia :D

Astraeans I need some votes!

Would you be more interested in a spleef arena or a timed parkour tower?

The spleef arena can be 1v1 or team vs team with tournaments. The parkour tower is a 1 player run only with a leaderboard awarding 1st to 3rd place.

I will watch either one and possibly throw snowballs 😅

When I can't play on the SMP, I'm always practicing in creative mode. Here's a custom birch tree from today.

You'll be right in my neighborhood then! My mayor house is inspired by Falling Water. I've visited there a few times now. Enjoy his work!!
