Minecraft Diary (1): Creating advent materials within Game

By Pawel23 | Sandbox Games Diary | 3 Dec 2025


Finally I decided, that each game will have own series and numbers. This is first episode for Minecraft. I created materials for social media again within a Game. This time I used Minecraft. I like sandbox games for possibility how I can use them, not only as entertainment.

 

Step 1: First I was preparing place, where I will build:

Step 2: I need to count if I have enough place:

Step 3: Start building. I would like to build 9x9:

Step 4: Each edge of the square is 3x9:

Step 5: Now... building second level.

Step 6: Second level ready. I think it is visible my idea.

Step 7: Adding Advent Candles. Plus my first attempt at a light source. You can also see the code for changing the time of day to night in the lower left corner.

Step 8: My first attempt at a light source, I am not happy with results. I will change it.

Step 9: I think now is better. (I wanted a green light)

Step 10: A little bit improving.....

Step 11: Now... it is finished. Only one light. Each week I can add next light and record a next "Shorts".
