Good evening ladies and gentlemen!
It's been a while since i last posted but never the less I always come back with to blogging with a vengence! This time around it's based on Minecraft and a challenge I thought up while underwater. So, without further ado, here's the challenge!
With the new 1.5 minecraft update, we were granted new Daylight Detector Blocks! These blocks as you may or may not know, send redstone signal based off of the dark/light level it recieves! So, I built a basic lamp that uses one of these connected to a piston connected to the new Redstone block to power 4 redstone lamps. So, to take that one step further, and it's something i'm working myself, is to connect this detector to a building that automatically turns on lighting to a whole building. I won't tell you how to build it but here's the rules of this challenge.
1. Use Vanilla Minecraft to give everyone a level and even playing field (We know you technic junkies laugh at Vanilla's simplicity)
2. Use a daylight detector to automatically turn lighting on in the building.
3. Lighting must be lamps. Redstone torches can be used in the circuitry, however.
4. The building (or buildings) must be 3 or more stories tall. Note I do say 3 or more.5. The circuitry must be hidden from view, because the buildings are to look "professional."
Anything beyond that, well, feel free to be as creative and aesthetic as you wish. Judging will be done by my girlfriend and I based on aesthetics, wow factor, and functionality, each worth 10 points. Each of us will judge seperately on the 30 point scale, and we'll average the two. In the case of a tie breaker, a third person will be brought in for judging, and we'll average three to break the tie of those tied.
Submissions for judging can be done via sending a world file to jmwalker8@gmail.com and the winning submission will be featured with an interview of your builds done, and the satisfaction of knowing you're an awesome builder! All entries are due by midnight of April 8th! If these challenges pick up we'll offer up some nice prizes but that's in the works!
Reply here if you're down so I can get estimates of interest.
Good luck building!
Cheers.
