In order to meet some artists for my virtual art gallery, I decided to get on minecraft. I hadn’t played minecraft in a while, so I thought that it would be nice to get onto a game that I’ve owned since I was a little kid. I joined a server that I used to be a part of and saw that there were a lot of new people on it. In my gallery, I wanted to show that people can form a nice community in a game. The three artists that I used in my gallery were ARTrujillo, Kuelpanda, and Paco_Aka_Daddy74. The three of them are all in separate parts of the server, but have all helped in making different communities. ARTrujillo lives in a neighborhood in a part of the world that people flattened out. Not too far from ARTrujillo, Kuelpanda made a ski lodge, windmill, saloon, and barn as places that other players can come and hangout and talk to one another. A long ways away form ARTrujillo and Kuelpanda, Paco_Aka_Daddy74 resides. He made a zoo where every animal in the game has their own enclosure. Other players on the server enjoy his zoo because the animals enclosures also resemble the biome that they can be found in. I really like that minecraft can be a wholesome place where people can hangout with one another and build really cool communities.
The most important parts of ARTrujillo’s neighborhood is that many different people with many different build styles all worked together in order to make a neighborhood where they can all help one another out. Not too far from this neighborhood is their community farm and ranch where they all share the same food resources so no one will have to worry about hunting for animals or not having enough food to regenerate.
The highlight of Kuelpanda’s area is that, while it may be small, many people on the server like to come and hangout in this area, with a barn / stable to keep your horses and a saloon and ski lodge for people to sit around and talk to one another.
The best part about Paco_Aka_Daddy74’s area is that he built it all himself. He made this large zoo for everyone to visit and spent a ton of time getting all of the resources and specific blocks from each biome in order to make a really scaled down version of it to make natural habitats for the animals. Every passive mob in the game has a habitat here, and he is going to soon move on to making habitats for the more hostile mobs. The people in the server really like the zoo and help Paco_Aka_Daddy74 find certain biomes that he is looking for in order to improve the zoo.
