EAST COAST MINERS

VSTE Visits East Coast Miners October 7, 2019

10/10/2019

The Virginia Society for Technology in Education met Monday, 10.7.2019 to tour the ECM server. Eleven miners were present, including 2 students who shared their builds.

"Cats" shared her World War II Concentration Camp build. She did this to share with her teacher. The subject matter and feeling of authenticity were emotional.

"18th" shared his many space rockets, created to scale. This is his passion and he includes many details in his discussion as well as in the creations.

"Jane" shared our meeting with her students in Taiwan. "Vance" and "Bobbi" participated from somewhere in Asia. I can't keep track!

Guild Build September 7th

Hey Awesome Guildies!
Hope everyone is happily back in school and ready for a wonderful school year! You are going to rock this!

Speaking of "rocking" - reminds me of the amazing rocket 18th built in creative world! This is a group shot in front of it! You can visit at /warp rocket

This is a scale model of the Apollo II Saturn V
Amazing work 18th!
This is a perfect example of using Minecraft for a school assignment. It would be great to have people thinking of ways you can use Minecraft for assignments. Maybe a book setting, math, science, or more scale models.

We have some people doing very cool stuff with Redstone. Here is an elevator Mattie made! Nice job Mattie!

Tabby found she needed more space at her home so she has moved away from safehouse and rebuilt. Luckily she is a short walk away! Nice job Tabby!

Dark has worked his "magic" again and now we can speak in the third person by typing /me in front of what you want to say.

Hope to see you at Guild Build Friday night at 7:00 pm .

Happy Mining

Hey there

It was a fun time on East Coast Miners at Guild Build! Always nice to see our awesome Miners!

We started in Creative World admiring and exploring Enders cool build! Nice work Ender!

And then we moved to Creative World for some fun and games!
First stop Hide and Seek in Bedford's Haunted Mansion. /warp haunted
Then we had a few rounds of "Do Not Laugh" ECM style! Link won with the most points. Thanks to everyone who played!
Also Thanks to Dark and Bedrock for building the very awesome new stage - complete with music!
Lastly, we visited Links Pizza Land (from back when he was known as Pizza) Even the banners have pictures of pizza...yum!

Hey Awesome Miners!
A big shout and and thank you to Cats who joined K4's teacher group for a tour of ECM...Everyone loved all the cool stuff we have! Thanks to everyone who builds and shares with us!

GB was so much fun last week! We explored and played in the snow! Saw polar bears, rabbits, and llamas (yes, even babies)
We found igloos and treasures!

And then we started on a great adventure with Dark! We found lots of cool places along the way, such as the flower forest, the arches, a swamp and witch hut. ****Thanks to Tabby for taking these great pictures and sending them to me! ****

The adventure lead us to the Ice Spikes you see here...We all thought they were cool but Dark wanted more...So he continued the exploring adventure...over many hills and vales.

Until we found these!

Oh WOW!

If you want to find this giant Ice Plains Spike Biome with us, join the fun at GB this week for another exploration adventure with Dark! It will be worth the effort. Yes, that is Dark on top of the tallest ice spike!

Hope you have fun at Guild Build Friday night at 7:00 pm .
Happy Mining

Dark's Riddle Puzzle was SO much fun! Good thing we had some smart guildies there to help us find our way to his prize and surprise!

If you want to participate this clue is still up at Safehouse. Good luck and have fun!

And here we are starting the Riddle. First challenge was trying to figure out how to get into Dark's Secret Space. Then we had to answer the clues which gave us coordinates to follow in the nether...eek
Once we found the final place to make a portal it brought us back to a Mushroom Biome! Here Dark had a prize for everyone! It was so much fun Dark! Thanks so much!

Happy Summer Miners!

Hope everyone is having lots of fun! I know a few of our Guildies are at camp this week...Have a great time!

Last weeks GB was as fun as always with some serious mining and remodeling!

There is a huge and endless cave, mineshaft, and ravine at /warp bigcave3
Be sure to check it out - I am sure there a lots of resources left to mine.

Cats did a total make over The Cat Cafe Island behind safehouse...It looks great! Thanks Cats for your creative energies

Hello East Coast Miners!
Congratulations to Cats for completing another achievement! You are amazing!

Last weeks Guild Build turned into quite a boating adventure! Tabby, Cats, Mainecakes, Bedrock, Bedford and more...all explored the ocean. We found beautiful islands and another mesa.
This is a picture of the island at /warp tulips

Speaking of Adventure..
Dark has something cool planned for next Guild Build!
He has built a giant bedrock encased structure in Survival...which he will leave closed and sealed until Friday, when he will unseal it and take the operator's seat.
No spoilers... but you will want to bring your best riddle solving skills.
PS - If you notice the strange structure before Friday, please leave it be, all his clues and things are hidden inside, prepared for distribution. :~)

Hope to see you at Guild Build Friday night at 7:00 pm .

Hey Awesome Miners!
Guild Build was so much fun last week!

A special thank you to Cats for sharing her 1.13 beta server with us! It's unbelievably fun and pretty! See more pics at the end of this post...

Here is a picture of Link with his new skin! Looking good!

I love this game Spaceman is making in the amusement park. It's colorful and fun!
In fact it's a perfect background for a group picture! "cheese"

18th built a cool contraption that sets off fireworks...Very pretty!

And why is Dark wearing a mask? Suspicious!

Here are some pictures from our field trip to Cats' server. She even had presents for everyone! The perfect hostess! Thanks again Cats! I loved the sea turtles, coral reefs, sunsets, and of course - the baby turtles! Awww!

Hello Awesome Guildies!
Hope everyone is ready for summer! Any cool plans? I know people have been in and out of East Coast Miners. Can't wait to see new builds and ideas!

Cats and Bedrock have been busy saving and collecting villagers . Meet King Kermit (not Kermet) . ~~Quite Impressive!

Also Bedrock has made a giant piano! You can see the redstone at work in 2nd picture.
Can't wait to hear it!

We start Guild Build on East Coast Miners and then take a field trip. Cats has invited us to go on her 1.13 pre-release server and check out all the new cool things.
