School Build Update

We've made significant progress on our school build thanks to the help of the Secondary Minecraft Club and the Elementary Student Technology Advisory. Our scale for the school is one minecraft block = 50cm, which means our school is HUGE! We use speed potions in order to be able to travel through the campus!

Here are a few photos that capture just a tiny bit of what we've accomplished. Scroll all the way to the bottom for a link to DOWNLOAD a copy of our School Build World. You can keep building, make movies, play games, design a playground... we'd love to see what you create, so please share it with us by commenting or contacting us using the contact box on the right.

Progress in Camp Half Blood

Our Minecraft Club is in the process of developing four worlds using our multiverse server:

• Camp Half Blood, where we are making a factions world
• School Build, where we are recreating our school approximately to scale 
• Entry World, where we are building Minecraft tutorials and portals to our other worlds, and 
• Survival, where we are building a spawn.

Two of our Camp Half Blood builders, Zeke and Gus, have shared some screenshots with us so we can see their progress. You can read more about their original plans here in an earlier post.

Camp Half Blood is a factions world, and as Zeke says, "it's an enjoyable experience, but we also get work done."

The team is currently working on Demeter's cabin, and they need to add the bedroom.

We are excited about the progress being made, and look forward to being able to play Camp Half Blood in factions!

ISPP Minecraft Update
We've been working on permissions and have groups working on four worlds. We are using Multiverse and Bukkit Permissions so that players have administrative privileges in their project worlds. These are our worlds:

EntryWorld: students are building a roller coaster that has stops for tutorials.

CampHalfBlood: students are building a factions world with clubhouses and team competitions.

Survival: A survival world where students are currently building the spawn (and playing survival...)

SchoolBuild: Today's feature. Students are building a scaled version of our new campus!

Progress in SchoolBuild

News of the day: "We spawned a villager and named him Mr. Coles!"

Mr Andersson laid out the framework for Buildings A and B, and students are working on filling in the details. Many thanks to Medin, who has a growing grasp of World Edit, and was able to move our ceiling up by two blocks with the click of his wand.

Our first meeting

We had our first meeting and it was great to see so many enthusiastic faces with a wide range of experience. We spent some time discussing common agreements and then started to join the server and sadly... we stopped being able to reach the server. :( :( :(

Although the server is supposed to accept 30 players, we were losing our connection. We aren't sure whether it was a server issue or an internet issue, but we hope to figure it out before next week!

Here is a photo of a few of the players that were able to get on.

ISPP Server: the beginning

Our server is now running! The server will use a whitelist and remain inaccessible except during club times until we have established group norms and responsibilities, and have fine tuned the permissions.

We have three worlds so far:

World
This is the entry world. The gamemode will be adventure, and we can make rides and tutorials for our visitors.

These are the sign portals at the spawn point in World, which teleport to the other two worlds. Right click to use.

Survival
This is (obviously) our survival world. We need to work on the settings to make sure all players are in survival, and we need to establish world agreements.

School Build
This is a super flat world where we can build a replica of ISPP. To scale!

We have a lot of work to do! What will our worlds look like next week?
