Welcome to the Sponchunks episode number 78 for Monday, March 2nd, 2020.

My name is Joel Duggan and joining me as always is my friend Johnny,

but you may know him better as Pixel Riffs. Hello, sir.

Hello, we're nerds, as you can probably tell from the fact that we're doing a Minecraft

podcast, and if you want to know precisely how nerdy we are you can listen to the render distance the patrons only pre-show and post show where we are talking about Dungeons and Dragons once again.

We're talking about Joel's live streams that he's been doing,

which I'm sure we'll get a mention a little bit later on.

But yes, all the juicy info and the latest on my growing interest in Dungeons Dragons in the render distance which you can find

a Patreon.com slash the Spawn Chunks. So what's up Joel how has your Minecraft week been?

Very busy with little to show for it. I don't know how to it. I feel I had a lot of fun and then I flew around the modern city last night before I logged off and I was just like what did I actually do this

week it doesn't look that different like I really don't know so we're gonna get into this

later on in the main discussion of the show because I it's poignant, but I am I'm building my first

high-rise in Minecraft. I don't know why I thought this wasn't going to take weeks.

Like I thought the city was going to take weeks. I didn't think one building was going to take weeks. I thought the city was going to take weeks. I didn't think one building was going to take weeks. So I decided to do things player scale because I would like to look up at a building and even if it's even if it's hollow inside I want the outside to look like proper floors with balconies and things like that.

And so I mapped out the height of each floor. I had the forethought to give a double thick, you know, a floor, so like your ceiling block of one level is a different color than the floor block of the next.

Yeah.

So you can have like a white ceiling and then like a birch,

you know, wood floor, dark oak, or whatever you want to do.

And so I mapped out the floors and I went up 16 floors. I thought that was a nice round

Minecraft number and it looked pretty good, you know, in terms of I went down to the

city street looked up and it felt like it was a big building but not like New York big,

you know, like it felt really good.
