Minecraft First Civilizations - Day 3

Day 3: Please answer all the questions below in a SINGLE comment.  Do not write multiple comments for this post.

1.) Describe your experience building the city.  What went well?  What went poorly?  What still needs to be done?

2.) Do you think this would be easier with more people?  Why or why not?

3.) Do you think that civilizations with more people had an advantage over those with fewer people?  Why or why not?

4.) In order to truly be considered a civilization, a society needs to be stable enough to have jobs that don't directly contribute to survival:  artists, performers, musicians, sculptors, etc.  In that case, is our Minecraft society actually a civilization?  Why or why not?

  1. It would not be better with more people. We have just enough people to finish.With early humans it would be harder for everyone. Builders would have to build more houses. Farmers would have more people to feed.Our minecraft civilization is good as it is. I would consider it a civilization.

    1. Kaodi, expand your ideas! Why would it not be better with more people? Why would you consider it a civilization? I need to see more effort please!

  3. 1.Building the city was extremely fun. A lot went well such as building the houses, the temple came out awesome, and we found a lot of diamonds. The things that didn't go well was the food source, but after a minute it was super and we used up a lot of blocks which made the miners work really hard. Nothing that I see really needs to be done other than the farm which lacks animals but other than that this was awesome!

    1. I'm glad you enjoyed the game. Would your society benefit from having more people? Would you consider it a civilization?

  4. The experience was great.it was good since today was our last day they worked more and got more supplies.It was kinda hard tough because people kept coming in our crafting area.We still need to get more stuff for the ranchers and finish all the buildings.It would probably be easier with more people because we would have more people to work on stuff.It would probably have an advantage with more people because the more people to work the better.it is a civilization because we have different job and people assigned to them'and we have different tools.

  5. In the civilization the breeding went very well because we had many animals. We had arguments about killing the animals though. We still need to breed more animals as well. I do not think it would be easier with more people because there would be more arguing. I do think with more people you would have an advantage because you would have more people to get jobs done faster. Our mine craft society is a civilization because we are all a team working together:)

    1. Does solely working together make a society a civilization?

  6. I had an amazing time building the structures. A lot of things went well like the houses, the church, the market, and the city hall. The some things that went poorly was the art museum. The things we still need to complete are the school and the cafeteria. It would be easier with more people because many people can work on the same thing at the same time. It was easier with more people because more people had more jobs. More people could work on many things. Our Minecraft society is a civilization because the builders can build many things that relate to the jobs that are in a civilization For example, artists and sculptors.

  7. I think that it would be easier with more people. I think so because if there were more people more work would get done. It would also also get done quicker.

  8. 1.The city is great and everyone is friendly.Every this went well nothing went poorly.2.I think the amount of people is enough because it would be chaotic with more people.3.Yes because you can get more things done with more people but sometimes more isn't the best option.4.Even though there isn't artist and preformores we are still a civillization because we work together.

  9. 1. I think we still need to finish the roofs of the building but its going really well.We have all the materials from doors to sandstone and we have a lot of beds to also to sleep and set our spawn. 2. We also do NOT need more people its hard enough working with everyone but we do have a lot of team work to help.
    3. I think maybe fewer people for a civilization would work better because we dont have us all going everywhere and people going into others work space.
    4. Yes I think our "area" would be called a civilization because we only have the things we need and not focus on the things we want.For instance we have buildings for shelter and farms for food so from my perspective we have a great civilization.

  10. MY experience with building the city was fun and exciting because i have never played mine craft before and I believe that everyone worked well together! I think we also need a faster way to go to the market so i don't die of hunger. I believe that it would the civilization would have to come together faster because we needed more people to help with farming and to harvest the crops.I don't believe that a civilization with less people had an advantage because in order to maintain a civilization everyone has to work together. Our mine craft civilization can be real because there were lots of food,houses,and water.

  11. The experience building the city was very fun because I was the leader and I helped build all the buildings in the whole civilization.What went poorly was that almost everybody had to have the building perfect.No because there would be chaos every body would build on the same thing and it will be very hectic.

  12. Our building is going well,nothing went wrong. 2. Yea this could be easier with more people but i think we have enough people. 3. Yes having more people has ups and downs. With more people we could get alot more done, but we would need more food to feed everybody. 4. I think our society is a civlilzation because we don't need jobs that contribute to our survival like artist muscicans sculptars and ect.

  13. 1.) The experience was a little hectic, I am a craftsman, so many people were coming in and out trying to make their own supplies when we were trying to help out. The buildings were coming together. Ziggurats, houses, shops were all coming together in my eyes.

    2.) No it wouldn't be easy. Too much chaos, people running around, animals and other mobs runing around. Defences would be down.
    3.) Yes because they would have a huge army.
    4.) Sort of, because we have the jobs to start off with, that we really need.

  14. I think it went well,but we probably still need more people for our civilization just because that so many people didnt do there part witch a lot of people did just not some people.The crafters did have a bad day today because other people didnt ask us what they needed plus people kept destroying things for no reason,but i think we did well.

    ReplyDelete
  15. MY experience was pretty good but sometimes it wasn't. People would keep coming and killing our animals. Every time i need wheat for the sheep i would have to go to the farmers and ask because there was none in the market.I still need to breed them again and start to kill them for meat. I think that if we had more people it would be harder because nobody would be cooperative and would be selfish and keep their stuff. We only have 30 some people and it's already very hard. Sometimes civilizations with more people could be better than with less because if they cooperated it would be easier. I think minecraft would be a civilization because everyone was doing what they had to do.

    1. What did your society have that would make it a civilization?

      Delete
  16. it took a lot of work to and effort to build the city. What went well was that we were able to build a farm, the city etc. i don't necessarily think that anything went poorly.What still needs to be done is i think the buildings. I think that if we had more people we probably would have gotten a lot more done. i think that civilizations with more people had an advantage over those with fewer people because there would be more people to help around with the community. I think that our civilization may need more thing to be an actually community. If we had gotten everything we needed done early we would have time to add more things such as musicians, artist, performers, Etc.

  17. 1) Everything is good but maybe the lumber jacks could help the builders with the buildings since us lumberjacks have some free time. 2) I don't think it will be easier with more people because it will get crowded and harder to control. We would get a lot more done but it will be a challenge. 3) I don't think groups with more people will have an advantage because, (like I said earlier) it will be harder to control. 4)Our minecraft society is sort of a civilization but it doesn't have all those other jobs except architecture because architecture is technically an art. - YaFavIzzy<3

  18. My experience was great. I think being a farmer went well but i think having to be organized and having to put the plants in the right column. Yes i think it will be easier with more people because we would get more things done. Yes because more things were created and more things were done. Yes it is because we have food houses and animals and etc.

  19. My experience building the city was amazing.Things that went well were growing the crops.Things that went bad were people stealing the crops. Yes,I think it would of been easier with more people because we would be able to plant to crops faster.I think that civilizations with more people had an advantage over those with fewer people because,they would build everything faster.Our minecraft society is a civilization because, we have all the jobs for a civilization.

  20. My experience building the city was very challenging. I think that it is going really well. The builders seem like there doing a great job with the houses and same with everyone else. I also think this would go even better with more people because we could get the jobs done faster. I think that civilizations with more people had an advantage over civilizations with less people because there would be more people to get the job done faster. Our Minecraft society is actually a civilization because we have a lot of people doing their part to help and in civilization all the people have to work as a team to get the job done.

  22. are city is going great are farm is going good and the build are going good as well but people are dying so if were i n the real world they would be dead so that is what going poorly NO if we had more people it would be harder cause that is more people to feed I think you would need some jobs like that cause that is how we are in the real world so yes we would need to have that kind of jobs

  23. questin 1. i am a lumberjack. well the city needs to be done.
    questin 2My job is easy because all i have to do is just cut wood from trees.
    questin3 No.Because back then it was hard for them.
    questin 4 kinda. Because we have all the jobs but not the artists,porformers and sculptors.

  24. My experience being a farmer was really fun. I learned new farming things and had a good time farming. I think the potatoes and the carrots were going well, but the wheat and the pumpkins were a little low.more crops for the animals. Yes I think it would be easier with more people because it would've went faster and we wouldn't have to worry about running out of time. Yes I think a civilization is better with more people because the civilization would survive.yes because we need everyone to help survive

  25. 1 Nothing went poorly and i help by getting ore and stone
    2 It was easier with people because if i need something I can ask someone
    3 I think the civilizations with more people because we wood have got more done

  26. DAY 3 :I think that there are a lot of thing that are good and bad for the most part good . Yes i do think that we did do a lot things different and that was the good part but we all so didn't do a lot of thing such as the cafeteria , art museum and other things . Yes i do think that it would be batter if we had more people because thinking would be done faster

  27. (1)It's doing very well we are building the civilization quickly. (2) No because it will be hard to communicate a get enough food. Yes because more people can do more stuff.(3) With less people because easier to communicate.(4) Yes because architecture is an art.

  28. 2. It was definitely easier with more people. Most of the building were pretty big so the more people the easier it was. Also we need people to do multiple stuff like ores, and blocks so that really helped. The crafters made stuff so we didnt have to stop building.
    3. Yes because we could get more things done in a shorter time and find more things.
    4. Yes because we all had jobs. some people were builders (I was), miners, crafters, and other jobs too. We had plenty of buildings and we were just like a civilization.

  29. My experience building the city went really well. I was a miner so I gave all the ore that anyone needed. The only problem that we had was food but we fixed that later on. I think the only thing that we still need to build up is the farm, it is going well but it is still vary little. I think we have enough people, there are 31 of us and we work well together. I think the civilizations with more people do well, but just like everything else there are downs. Like the food, with more people you need more food. With less people your society will go slower. Are society is a civilization ,as it said in the book, you need a stable food supply and shelter to become a society and we have all of those things.

  30. Building the city was very fun because we got to work with other people to make it a working civilization. I think it was easier with more people because when you work together you get more done. Also it was fun working with new people. Civilizations that had more people had an advantage because if they were to go to war they would have more people to fight. I think that minecraft could be an actual civilization because some people could be artist by hanging pictures some people could be musicians by using a music box to create it.

  31. It took a lot of work to take care of the city.The city went very good i think it looks good so far but i wish we had more times. I do think it was easy with people because it will take a long time to do all of this.Yes i do think it was better to work with a lot of people better than fewer people it will take a long time.Yes i do think it was civilization because we have to work togeter

  32. I am having a bit of trouble with this and need to get more tourches and iron also the gready builders are asking for alot of cobble stone and we need help getting a better trainsprtation!

  33. Building our city was easy now. Since we could be well feed and have all are matreials we could build quicker and not die more. Yes i would think it would be faster becuase we would have our building built at a faster rate. No becuase they would have less food to share and less buildings to make. Our minecraft socitey is a socitey becuase we have a stable food supplies and homes and everything else need to build up to an empire one day

  34. It went well. We farmers need bone meal the builders didnt make it for us. It would be the same with more people because itll be the same just with more people. I think civilizations with more people is a asvantage cause they usually fought and more people more of an advantage you had. It is a civilization because we are all helping each other and we help get all resources we need :D.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I think civilizations with more people have a war advantage or building advantage some jobs are better with less people like crafter and lumber jack because lumberjacks would cut tree down to fast to the point where the trees wont grow back fast enough and crafters would have a crowded area if there were more people and furnaces and crafting table would be occupied.

  36. my expireence wasgood i liked being in a group.Also no i dont think it wouldbe easier with more people because with more people no one would get work done because of the talking.Neaxt i belive that they would have an advantage because there would be more to fight in wars.Finally the society is a civilizatin because we have everything that creats one.

  37. We built almost all the building and were doing very well.I think this would be easier with more people and we would complete the civilization earlier.No because you need more homes and food for all the people.Well we are half of a civilization because we don't have artists or musicians but we will one day.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I THINK THE BUILDERS WOULD NEED MORE PEOPLE BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF BIG BUILDINGS SO I THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER WITH MORE PEOPLE. WE ALSO THINK WE ARE DOING VERY GOOD WITH THE BUILDINGS. I THINK ARE CIVILIZATION NEEDS MORE PEOPLE BECAUSE WE WOULD GET STUFF DONE FASTER.

  39. Our civilization is going well. It will be easier because it will get done faster. A civilization with more people has a higher advantage. Yes our society is a civilization because we have a good job system.

  40. i helped get sandstone for the builders to build it took a while.it would be harder or easier we would have to cook more food but there would be more helping hands.yes three is more people to help.yes because we have builders that design cleverly.

  41. ON MINECRAFT EVERYTHING WENT WELL BECAUSE BE GAVE FOOD TO EVERYONE THAT NEEDED , AND EVERYTHING WENT WELL.I THINK IF MORE PEOPLE COME TO THE CIVILIZATION EVERYTHING WOULD BE MORE EASIER, AND INTERESTING FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO SEE HOW ARE CIVILIZATION IS GROWING ALL READY.

  42. OUR EXPERIENCE WAS FUN! At the begging everyone was dying of hunger. Then no one died of hunger. It would be easier with more people because of how quick we would build our civilization. I think that a civilization with more people would be easier except when food matters most. our civilization is a early civilization so we still don't have many houses or food but we will soon if we keep going.

    ReplyDelete
  43. What went well is everyone is trying to do their best working,but there is somethings that we need to make our plants grow suck as bone meal. We still need more carrots and potatoes so we can grow more of them.I think it will be better with more people because we can get more stuff done faster.I think not because e even if you have fewer people it doesn't give the people with a larger team a bigger advantage. I think it is a civilization because we have all the things a society needs.

    ReplyDelete
  44. i would say it is going sooo well i was a lumber jack and we helped with the plants and the animal. i think we need nothing done . i say it could be easyer with more people but but is would be too crowned so it would say we do not need more people we would need more food more houses more everything. i think it would be not vantage but like i said the might be too much people we would need more everything. yes it is a civilization .

    ReplyDelete
  45. So far so good because the builders are making a lot of shelter. Yes it would be much easier with more people because we only have 3 days to work on this and if we had more people it would go faster. Yes i think with more people they have an advantage because it would get done much much faster. With fewer people it would take longer. Also it would take longer with fewer people because we need food to live. Yes it is a civilization because we have everything we need, but i don't think we have jobs get.

  46. Our civilization had made wonderful buildings and they had all the things we had needed for our ranch. I believe if we had more people it would be more difficult to be able to do things,and everyone would need something all the time and we need enough to still have enough animals to bread.That also means we had more of an advantage in this case to make sure we had all we needed.In this case our society was civilization because we all survived and played our role.

    ReplyDelete
  47. i think that it would be really easy with more people because the more people we got would be quicker and fast we would get its fast and we would be all set to the for our community and that we would get our jobs done.Well i think that the building is going good because if we go see the builders we could see that they worked all lot and that they put all of effort into the building the house and the places.Maybe the group mite of had a advantage to the community because its gets the job faster and quicker.Yes our community is a society because we all work together as a whole group and to make our work better to survive.

  48. my experyien builthing the city went well because every one help evryone to survive .I think it will be easyer with more people because there will be more to help with also the city will be built faster.I think that the civilasations with more people had an advantage over those with fever people because when they fight the civilization with more people will win .The civilization in minecraft is a cilization because everyone help each other to suevive.

  49. Yes it would be easier with more people because were using team work and team work makes our civilization stronger.My experience buliding the city was pretty great i must say everything went well in my opinion.Yes i think its a civilization because we are helping each other by giving resorses like wood.No i do not think civilization with an advvantge over those with fewer people because everyones the same.

  50. are is looking good we are rushing to get done because we want to get it done as fast as we can.And every one is working really hard together to get every one to get done.

  51. Being in the society with all with each other is helpful because we can help each other the problem is that if there's food shortages then people will starve ,but if we work together it will go smoothly but if there's people fooling around then they go to minecraft jail 2 people already made it to minecraft jail.

  54. The expirence was good but some of it was going poorly we didnt have the food when we needed it and some went well our animals in the ranch didnt grow as fast as i thought the would have. I think it would have gone better with less people because less people telling you what to do and all that. I think the civilization with less people would do better than the one with more. yes because we had many jobs and responsibliities.

  58. It went well everyone worked together to make a good community some people had fights but got over it I'm a builder so i still need to finish my flooring.Yes because it's more fun and there are more people to help out with everything.yes because if there were fights the ones with more people would win.yes and no because everything is the same but without jobs or cars.

  60. (1) Building a city was hard and easy because It was easy to mine but it was hard to get the material
    (2) No because you can not scream for under ground to the crafters and in real life you dont respon
    (3) Yes because More people will have more jobs and people will get more supply
    (4) No becaus ealot of people died and as i said people dont reasopn in real life

  61. The things that went well was the building,the crafting,the farmers and everything else. It went pretty well expect for the first day because we needed to get in the grove we are now. The things that still need to be done are getting more ore and building a little more. No because if there was more people than that means more people have more of a chance to mess up. Plus i think we are good now with this amount of people. Yes and no at the same time, yes because if you were to try and take over the civilization with more people it would probably go better. No because with fewer people that means they could escape quicker. Yes because we dont need all that stuff to be a civilization, we have enough to be called a civilization.

  62. My experience was great. The things the went well was the Farmers bring us crops and the builders building there wonderful buildings. The miners are not bring enough ores for the community. More security. I think that it would be a little easy because then there would be efficiency with bring the items back to the market.Yes I do because then if people had a war then the bigger group would have an advantage. Yes actually because building is a form of art.

  63. 1 we still need to do a hole bunch of stuff becase we still need to finish all the stuff.

    2 yes because it will get done faster and a hole bunch will get done.

    3 it is easyer because there is less people and there more room.

    4 we worked hard as a team and people are rushing to get done and it is really nervracking.

  64. I think the my experience building the city was ok. Some things that went well were building the animal pens and the breeding . Some things that went poorly was getting the martial's that the crafters had to make because people weren't doing there job.I think for the ranchers only 3 people would have been good and no not really because if there were like 10 focusing people then we would've done better. Maybe it depends if the people are willing to put the work in me being a rancher some of my fellow ranchers weren't doing there job and they would get mad at me if i did it.Yes becuase you can make houses and stores and food it works like a civilization.

  66. My experience in a city is well but I think we need people to stop breaking stuff. No I don't think we need any body else for help because were doing pretty well our self. Furthermore I think that I would have more people to work on this than fewer people. Finally I think we need more people to contribute to survival.

  67. Building a city is fun since you can dig and build farms and houses. We still need to plant a little more but we already have a lot of plants that have been planted. I think it would be easier with more people because then you don't have to do everything.

  68. Building a city is fun.Since you get to see how farming,crafting,building,mining is.Everything went well with the farming.Nothing didn't go poorly.Farming still needs to be done.Yes because you don't end up wasting up all that energy to get food.Yes because there would be more work done.Yes since there is farming, a art gallery,mining,homes.

  69. The experience went pretty well.The building of the city went pretty well.The only purely thing was that the crofters just needed more supply to craft with.The crafters just need to craft a few things. I don't think it will be easier with more people because it would have gone out of control. Probly just a slight advantage because they can get more done but it will be harder to control.I dont think its actully a civilation but pretty close becuse it was all the jobs but it doesnt have aritist.

  70. 1:The city is going well.The things that went well are that we all had fun.The things that went poorly were that other people are going into other spots.Not a lot of thinks need to be done.2:I think if we had more people it would have gone faster.3:Yes it would have more of a advantages.4:We were a civilization we did not have time to finesh.
