This video’s for the relaunch of Trixieverse Builds! It was the most fun when we were making stuff on the server, not trying to do fancy modded games but using a current version of Minecraft. Trixieverse Builds is coming back, in comfortable half-hour episodes! Server address in the video. See you there!

How To Control Minecraft Terrain Generation With Perlin Noise
This video teaches you how to use the Minecraft mod ‘Wedge’ (we’ll assume you were able to get it running already) to control terrain generation. The first half-hour explains how octaves of noise work, and how they combine in 3D space. Then, we tweak Wedge trying to work toward a specific result for the next half-hour, until Minecraft crashes :) Settings are shown in the video, for Wedge users! The 1.8 terrain generation may use different controls, and I’ll try to follow up with a dedicated video for that when I have access to the feature.
Trixieverse Builds A City #191: AppleDerpin’
Applejack’s looking to help out at Dashie’s house, in this technically derped-up episode of TBAC! Mic busted and the screen’s wrong and it’s just a rodeo of techderpiness, weee!
This is also where Applejack sees Turner’s total revamp of the Nether for the first time.
Post Derpage
Suddenly, Dash is in the nether! Because Screenflow derped a bunch. We’re getting further things for the base and chatting with Turner over voice.
Playing With Dash’s Dock
Digging out an island into a sort of dirt shell, and messing about in boats :)
Dash’s Amazing Base Of Awesomeness
It’s a big day. Rainbow Dash is finishing an actual project, instead of just, you know,starting them!
Bargain Basement Dashie
Rainbow Dash mines out a basement, to begin her awesome base! …ment. get it? Hehehehe
I Dig, A Pony
Rainbow Dash digs a big hole! Ooo drama ;)
Versus Tinkering
And with this, we catch up with what we got recorded in the Applejinx sessions :)
Applejack’s Ranch
Off to Applejack’s, where our author shows off what the farm poni did with the place! It’s a slick modern split-level house, classy and not even in apple colors.
New Ponyville
And we migrate back to more awesome, again! Shanawolf shows off her Ponyville build site in progress, and it is most delightful! You’re invited to go check it out, even help :)
The Wuf Abides
Shanawolf comes to help! Sort of! There’s a little Trixieverse discussion, and a little Minecraft LP project discussion. A bloggy sort of episode, really. Soon we will be getting back to the ponies (or indeed tackling newer Minecrafty projects!)
Terrain
Planning the city, and explaining how such a thing can be a drawing reference. At some point I’ll take to leaving clues about things like upcoming maps, the plans for Trixieverse, or new websites in these videos to reward folks who are daft enough to hang out with my boring, dirt-shoveling self :)
Other serieses may well be more fast paced ;)
Roadwork
Building on the Versus site! Technically the ponies could’ve been doing this. Rather than your humble poni author.
Author Author
In which we begin a little detour into REALITY, in the form of a skin made to talk in my normal voice and be Applejinx! This was an interesting little experiment. More and more I’m thinking that this Minecraft stuff is the next thing to an audio diary done whilst organizing virtual chests. Maybe that’s how it’ll end up.
Baa Baa Black Sheep
And one more Applejack ep before we experiment with—real life! Namely, Applejinx in human form (well, mostly) coming on to show off some of the server’s builds and get busy on the Versus build. That might be for a limited time so it’ll be interesting to see how it works out. (trying to get back into some of the things I used to do in the first videos)
Another possibility is to switch around among the ponies way more frequently: act like they’re tag-teaming it. Dunno. Remains to be seen. Applejinx is tired pone and can’t brain too good right now.
