Lastly: mending and a mace It's been over a year since the update, but today was the first time I ever beat a Trial Chamber! With help from @fawnsinforests.bsky.social and @pyrolyse.arkv.me, we gave it a good go, leading to me getting a heavy core from my first ominous vault!

Alongside the storage on the floor below, I wanted the farm to automatically craft up the prismarine blocks before storing them, so people could just come and take the blocks they needed! The redstone's a mess, but it features contraptions by ilmango, Rays Works and EliTheWolf, and it all works!

A look at the *very* messy redstone responsible for sorting the drops from the guardian farm for autocrafting, including a classic, tileable redstone item filter, auto-crafters by Rays Works, silent dropper-elevators by ilmango, and smart item dividers by EliTheWolf

Next: the guardian farm storage room! This one was a CHALLENGE! In Homely w1, I didn't end up making a proper storage system for the guardian farm, so it was high on my list for w2. Using plenty of stripped warped logs, dark prismarine, sandstone, glass, and packed mud, I finally got it done :D

The main room of the guardian farm, with a nether portal, enchanting table, and toggleable killing mechanism, as well as plenty of storage for all the blocks.

Next up: the elevator I wanted a fun way to get up and down the floors of my base, so Doctor Plasma's multi-floor 3x3 elevator was the way to go! This one isn't technically complete yet, but it's fully functioning and I can add new levels as and when I need them.

First up: the iron farm! This thing is wayyy more efficient than I could ever need it to be, but it is a gnembon design so who's surprised? Wrangling the villagers for this one was NOT fun, so I'm glad it's out of the way now!

Made some gotg vol 3 groot inspired wings, and then spent several HOURS trying to reverse engineer Elytras+ to get them to FLAP! Succeeded though, so that's pretty awesome I think 😎

gamers I cannot be stopped I have successfully reverse engineered the Elytras+ resource pack to add in my very own elytra design that I made MONTHS ago!

I cannot lie I am having SO MUCH FUN making these. They might not be perfect but I'm so proud of how they're turning out. This is Grovebinder, for my partner @fawnsinforests.art :D

This here is the sketch I did for the sword several months ago and didn't get any further with 😭 It's largely inspired by one of the swords on Hero Forge, which has been how I've pictured Daed's sword for several YEARS

daedalus @njgdaedalus.arkv.me · 06/10/2025

Don't think I can stressed how GASSED I am about this! I made textures for the canon Daed Blade (name pending) and (with a lot of help and inspiration from @8onfire.com, @hellay.bsky.social and @snuckyy.bsky.social) got it to work with some name-changing trickery too!

Guess I'm actually building a base again huh

A Minecraft island with 2 structures on it. One structure is a glass disc, with a hollow cylindrical room underneath it. On top of it sits a nether portal that is yet to be moved. The other structure is a white building with grey corners, pipes running along the side, and a bulbous glass room on top

A screenshot of the same two structures, this time taken at sunset, and with some minor, hard-to-spot texturing on the building in the distance

Stage 1 (below, guardian farm) has been completed and is already filling up the small amount of storage i've set aside for it. Stage 2 (above, island terraforming) is underway, with all the sand, clay, and dirt surround the island underwater being replaced with mud.

A guardian farm in Minecraft, designed by Cubfan, and built out of glass and all the wood types available in the vanilla game.

daedalus @njgdaedalus.arkv.me · 23/06/2025

We officially restarted Homely a couple weeks ago and it's been so nice getting back into Minecraft - I've got some big build ideas brewing and NO idea how I'm gonna execute them, but I know they're gonna look awesome once I've got them figured out!

Daed's mushroom island, flattened at the top, with some basic farms and storage set up on the right hand side. The dirt, sand, and clay surrounding the island underwater has been replaced with mud to look dark and barren, as part of the wasteland biome I am transforming the island into.

Absolutely insane to me that ebay allows this kind of shitty behaviour. While you can't technically report offers for Scalping, you can find some reason to report them as they usually offer some kind of misleading information that they *do* recognise as a reportable offense.
