My tiny little YT channel is officially two years old! 🥳 I think this calls for a celebratory cup of tea and a sweet treat! Chocolate cake definitely wouldn't go amiss, but maybe I'll make brownies instead... 😋 What's your dessert of choice?

Trying to take the perfect screenshot would be so much easier if I built things facing the sun.😂 Here's a (very) shadowy pic of my recent ruined tower in my Cottage Witch playthrough! #moddedminecraft youtu.be/Qs2UaNnrFmw

This is a Minecraft screenshot of a ruined stone tower in a forest. Only part of the tower is still intact, and it's covered in leaves, moss, and glowing lights. In the lower left corner, there is a portal to the Twilight Forest. The mod pack is Cottage Witch by HeyKatu.
