Mini Build #2: Night Lamp

By
A night lamp is an outside lamp that will only light up when it's dark outside. Don't worry, this build requires little to no redstone experience, but contains a daylight sensor, which is tough to get in Survival mode. These lamps are not only very useful, but are also very fashionable. 
Requires: 
Redstone lamp, Stone bricks, Stone brick stairs, Daylight sensor.



Step One:

Begin your lamp by making a three block tall stone pillar.



Step Two:

Go below your build on an angle, to place upside down Stone stair blocks, making a nice ledge for your lamp to sit on.



Step Three:

Place lamps on your pillar like so.



Step Four:

Place a Daylight sensor in the middle of the four lamps. If it is light out, the lamps will light up.



Step Five:

Place Stone stair blocks on top of your four lamps. This will improve the look of your lamp. 



Step Six:

Right click the daylight sensor. This will change the sensor so it will get power from darkness, instead of light. It's strange, but, that's Minecraft for you!

  At last, your finally done your Night Lamp. Place a couple near your house to light up the area. They can help you find your way home, and act as land marks even when it's day. If you wish, you can make the lamp higher up, making it look a bit more like a street lamp. This build looks best simple, so I recommend that you don't add too much more detail to your night lamp.

MiniBuild #4: Quartz Throne

By
Image
Quartz thrones are fancy thrones, that give off the vibe of a  'Wealthy Duke,' instead of the 'Medieval Emperor' vibes you get from the Stone brick throne. This quartz throne design, like many other thrones, has a gem in its centre. I used emerald, but you could also use gold, diamond, or lapas.  Requires: Block of quartz, Pillar quartz block, Quartz stairs, Quartz slab, Purple (or any colour) carpet, Block of emerald. Step One: Build two pillars made of a Chiseled quartz block, and a Quartz pillar block. Put an upside down quartz stairs block in between. Step Two: Behind your two pillars, build  a triangle of blocks  made up of two Quartz pillar blocks and two Quartz blocks. Step Three: Place two carpet blocks in a line, and build a two block high stack of Chiseled quartz blocks at the back of your throne.  Step Four: Time to build your backrests and armrests! First build one two block tall Pillar quartz sta...

Hypixel Guide #1: Guilds

By

Guilds are a great addition to Hypixel, and there are many cool things you can do with them. They are pretty much a clan of players, brought together by one leader. Together you work as a team to earn guild coins (get these from winning games) and with them you can upgrade your guild's size, get your players guild tags, and make room for more officers (second in-command). The more in your guild, the merrier! You can only create guilds if you have VIP+ or higher, but that doesn't mean you can't join them if you don't have that rank! Type in the command  /guild join [guild's name]  to request to join that guild. Some guilds have it so players automatically join when they do this. For some guilds, a member has to accept your request for you to join. Officers or the leader of a guild can also send 'guildless' players an invite to their guild. Commands /guild join [guild name] Sends a request to join the guild, which appears on the guild's c...

Minigame Review #1: Murder Mystery

By
Image
A very popular minigame, Murder mystery is a quick game on Hypixel server, and is one of the most popular games on Hypixel as of May 2017, and is still a prototype! Murder mystery has great rules, great roles, and beautiful maps built by the skilled Hypixel builders. At the beginning of each game, you get assigned a role: You are either the Murderer, the Detective, or an Innocent. There are 14 innocents, but only one murderer, and only one detective. If you're the murderer, your goal is to kill every innocent in five minutes. You have a sword that can be thrown, and no one knows you are the murderer unless they see your sword, or you're obvious about it, so stay sneaky! If you're one of the many innocents, stay alive as long as you can, and avoid dying at the hands of the murderer (or falling off a ledge). Try to collect gold, because if you get 10 you have one bow shot! Warning: If you shoot the detective or a fellow innocent you both die! If you...
