6th Grade MinecraftEdu First Civilizations - Day 3

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

1.) Describe your experience starting the civilization.  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 went good when we were building houses then the thing that went poor was that we almost starved to death. It would be eaiser with more people because it would be more faster. Yes it would have more advantage because if i have fewer people then we would not get that much done.Yes because we need to gather food.

  2. I am a wood collator my team filled the chest up with wood that want well but the wood collators needs bonmeal so we can grow the tees back faster. I think the food maker need more help. No because they don't have these kinds of people like artists and performers in this civilizationl.

  3. So far there were a lot of ups and there were a lot of downs. some thing us builders need to get done like, i still need to finish up the temple in two days. and i know people say there is strength in numbers but i don't work well with other people, they just get in my way. yes because its not like we are not doing anything. the jobs that we have i consider to make us a civilization.

  4. My experience in this civilization is average. The buildings are almost finished but we still have to build a school. This would be easier if we had more people because we could get more materials to build with more miners and lumberjacks. The advantage of having more people in a civilization is that you can have more farmers and ranchers so that we can have more food. The thing that makes this city not a civilization is that there is no music. In that case we need the crafters to craft note blocks to make songs.

  5. The best thing that went is when we all try to work together and make the best civilization.The part that went poorly is when people started to complain about food and they started to die of hunger.No because it probably cause more destruction if there is more people.As I said no because even though there is less people it can still be a good civilization if we all work together nicely. The bad part about having more people is that they can be more disagreeing.Yes I thing its a civilization, because were doing good on food,the building,the lumbering,mining,and everything.Also its like a real civilization because you cant type stuff just like back then. That why we gather up and talk to each other for what we needed how they used to do back then.

  6. Our group is very good at focusing on our buildings. There's only one problem I found that we have ,and that's the arguing about who does what or what looks good and what looks bad. Some people don't seem to want to do their job and then they start doing other things like mining. Our team has been making lots of houses in a fast paste. We still need a school and more houses.If we had any MORE people join our team would get less things done because people would think since they have more people they could work less then if there were fewer people.
    I don't think our community is a civilization because we don't have jobs like musicians or artist because we're all striving for survival right now.

  7. Starting the civilazation was fine. I did need some help here and there but I did good. As things went on I got better at it. I still need to get faster at planting some of the crops. It would be a lot easier with more people so that we could get more done in little time. Different cicilazations deffinatly had an advantage because they had thousands of people who got a lot of work done. Our minecraft can be considered because we have the right stuff to be a civilazation.

  8. the things that went well were be able to start every thing and get it going like getting supplies and food. the things that went wrong

  9. Starting the civilization was great.For The miners day 3 was awesome we found 11 diamonds.What went poorly was sometimes lava would come out of no where and kill us but we get buckets to help pick it up.I think we need to start getting more coal instead of just looking fore the special ores.Well adding more people theirs up's and down's a good think is that more things can get done,but sometimes its hard to keep up with a lot of people and some don't do their part.I think that it doesn't really matter about population it depends on your patients,quality,and skill.I think we are still a civilization because artist and musicians and peformers are like after your civilization is complete and you know everthing is stablized

  10. The experience was fine.fewer people because more stuff will gone quicker. Because people can be af shows they can she society and other stuff

  11. It would not be easier with more people because everybody would be all over the place and we cannot get things done.WE need more food to last us because some people are getting hungry quicker and they need food to survive

  12. When I first started the civilalazation the lumberjacks were good but the farms and the food supply were not enough to feed us all
    No it would not be easier because we would have to feed more people and we have enough people doing everything so it would not be easier.
    Civilizations with more people do have some advantages but more dis advantage because they have a lot of people to feed and build for so that is more materials for them to grab
    Our civilization is not truly a civilization because every bod job provides something and we do not have houses for every body so we are not truly a civilization.

  13. 1 planting potatoes went well.What went poorly was people braking stop so we couid not get any where.We only have to put the candy sticks and carrots.
    2 i think it would be good to have more people with the farmers because not that much do there job and they just play around.
    3 no because we dont die quick and stuff

  14. 1. I am a rancher and my experience starting the civilization was a little bit of a rocky start. The thing that went poorly was that our team wasn't communicating very well, so not a lot was getting done. By the second or third day we are starting to do pretty good with getting all the cages, and we are now doing very good with using and breeding the animals to help the civilization. Theres not much else that needs to be done besides just keeping up with the animals, like breeding them and taking care of them in their OWN cages. We also could start killing them for food.

    2. In the WHOLE civilization yes I think it would be easier having a few more people here and there, so more work gets done. But in our case we don't really need anymore people because it would get to crowded, and we already have enough to do a fair amount of work.

    3. I think civilizations with more people have an advantage over civilizations with fewer people, because they have more people so more work gets done and they could have more buildings, food, animals, and materials. But it could also depend because if you have to many people then it would be to crowded and chaotic.

    4. Even though minecraft does not have performers, artists, and things like that, I would still consider it to be a civilization. Thats because minecraft still is a society made up of lots of people working together building a city, and living, or surviving.

  15. 1.My experience is going well!I helped the miners and found some coal.Also the farm is going well.The problem is that we spent most of our time organizing the crops.The things that still need to be done are the second rows of food.Im currently working on planting food there for a bigger food supply.
    2. I think it would be harder with more people due to there may being way more arguments.Also with more people we would need more food and the food supply would go down quicker.Also,everyone is doing good with the groups we have so far.More people would just make a mess with everything we're doing.
    3.I think there are some good and bad things with having a big civilization.For example,more people,more work done,but with all the people,things may get more crazy then it already is with a killer in our civilization (Dwayne)
    4.Our Minecraft society isn't a complete civilization.In the social studies lesson,there were more then just farmers and builders.They also had musisians and priest.If we had those in our civilization then we could be complete

  16. My experience starting the civilization was easy because in the beginning I already had a diamond axe. I really didn't have to do any thing but cut wood and put it in the wood bin. No, I don't think it would be easier to have more people because more the people the more you have to provide. If there was 15 more people we would have to work twice as hard. Back when cave men where still alive yes because other tribes like the homosapiens and some other tribes would come and attack our villages. No because it literally just stated that to truely be a civilization a society needs music artist preformers sculptures ect.

  17. As a rancher I think everything is coming together. Were going threw the same path and were all growing our aperients. Our animals our growing a ranch and are food is coming in nice. We have meals for everyone in the city. Also we have a lot of food for our animals now that everything's coming together. We have some things that are going bad like our wolfs disappeared and we don't know were to get golden apples for the horses. We don't really need anything now only golden apples. We have everything done like building and food like. I would think that this would be more fun and easier with more people because everything would be going faster ,also it wouldn't be so much as a progress. People with a larger group of people would have it easier because you got more people to do everything. But the people with no people had a lot to do. I think our Minecraft society is a civilization because were going threw the struggles like they did like our food coming in, were we live and our hunger for animals and the city. We all have some job and were making this city strong and stable.

  18. 1.) I think that we are going smoothly, not everything is perfect but we don't have much of a problem tho.

    2.) I think it would be a little easier with more people because, we would have more people doing doing a specific thing on mining, and no because there would be people everywhere and it would be confusing.

    3.) I think it would be a quite advantage because more people would be doing more things.

    4.) I think that we don't need a artists, performers, musicians, sculptors, etc because we have crafters to make all the other things you need to craft, and some of them would be fine since we don't have most jobs for them.

  19. My experience starving a civilization was pretty easy at first cause no requests went through so we didn't have to do that much. The things that we're doing well are doing every bodies requests. The things that went poorly were people making items that people didn't request or ignoring us when we tell them to do something else. I don't think my job would should have more than 5 people because people can get in the way. But there can be more people because we have a ton of furnaces and crafting tables to have each person doing something. I think people with more had an advantage because more people can work on the farms. Yes it can be because we can have jukeboxes for the musicians, have like a stage for the performers, artists with maybe pixel art of gods, and sculptors building statues of gods and other things. If we cant have that then our Minecraft civilization cant be a civilization.

  20. My job is to mine. I think that we're doing really good. The one thing that we are doing really good on is that the farmers started off with not a lot of crops and food but now they have a lot done! The one thing that we all need to work on is that now since the farmers have food in the chest people are asking the farmers for food and they keep having to tell them that they're in the chest. I think that if we had more people it would be easier because we would get a lot done. For example the builders look like they can use some help, but if the miners go and help them, then we wouldn't have a lot of stone or ore to make weapons pickaxes or axes to mine or to chop down trees for wood so that the builders can build a bigger Society / City.So having more people would be better than having less so that we can get more done faster. I don't think that we are considered a true civilization, because in order to be a true civilization you have to have jobs that are not really important like Lumberjack, Builders, miners, ext. The jobs that you should have to be a civilization are lumberjacks, miners, Farmers, Builders, Ranchers and Crafts People, musicians, sculptures, artist, performers Etc. So I don't think that we are reallt considered a real civilization.

  21. Day 3: My experience starting the civilization was ok. We got start and finish the base for the housing buildings but we had a hard time getting more materials from the lumberjacks. But it was great that we finished the base for home so the next day we got head start.
    Honestly if we had more people it would be in between because it would be hard to communicate ,but we might get more done. The problem is that it's hard enough to communicate with 4 people and we can't get that much done.
    I honestly think civilizations with more people will fail because they can't communicate and discuss what to do as easily with a small civilizations.
    I consider are minecraft server as a civilization because there are job that contribute to entertain people and support to bring happens.Jobs like crafters they don't need to be consters to be a job for survival, but also can be considered to be use to make something used to entertain you. .

  22. The civilization is going well. The farmer, builders, and the craftspeople are the most helping to make a civilization. One problem be have is that we need more brick and glow stone. This will definitely be better with more people because we will able to do more things and it will go faster to make a civilization.This is why we have a good amount of people for each certain job.

  23. In our group of ranchers we are doing great. The only thing that went wrong was when we started feeding the pigs carrots and they started spawning a ton of baby pigs. I do not think we need anymore people. We already have enough people. If we had anymore people I feel like we would all start fighting on what to do if we had anymore people. I do think that if we did have more people in our civilization we would thrive more then people who have less. I think this because if one civilization had 50 people and another civilization had 100 people the second civilization will get things done better and faster.Yes and no. Our civilization should have other activities that don't have to do with survival. But it won't hurt us. These are my thoughts on our civilization so far.

  24. The things that went poorly was that people were coming. In and out of the ,the mines where we do are work like mine like crazy. And it wasn't, cool because us miners we need the to mine we are called the miners for a reason .The things that went good was when the people/classmates need cobble stone. I got them, but people were in the mine and look at the work that , we did Neveah she was gone she said that she was mining away from the mines so I forgot and what she said where in the world are you she said I am mining. I think it would be much easier with more people because then we would have more tools that we need like, pickaxes and shovels ,and axes because there was a tree in the today that was the crazy part about mining you do not know what will happen next.I think 2 more people in each group, but the miners because I think we have a perfect team. I think their should have the 2 more people for each group us miners we are great as a team. We really need to finish this place by tomorrow so 2 more people in each group would be great.It is like a civilization because the people had to work, that is what we are doing, the people had to farm we are also doing that one too, so you can say Minecraft is a civilization but on the computer/pc or on the phone what ever thing it is if it has what my civilization has in it then you can say it is the best place in Minecraft EDU history.By: Stefano Gianni Fabbris Date Nov1 the finished 6:49. thank you to Mr. Dunn

  25. 1.)So far I think me and my group are doing well trying to build the civilization. Some things we are doing well are that we are constantly finding rare materials like red stone, gold, diamonds, and other valuables. There are only a couple of things that are going poorly doing like digging to deep and not being able to get out or running into lava or water and dieing. Other than that there aren’t many things that are going poorly. And the only thing we still need to find is more gold.
    2.) I do think it will be easier working with more people because while one person is getting stone the other person can get gold and while that is all happening someone else can get pick axis for every one. So the reason I would want more people to work in are group is because it would be easier to do our job
    3.) Yes I do think that civilizations with more people had an advantage over the civilizations with less people because the one with less people it would take a longer time to build a house for example because there aren’t many people to help. Now in the civilization with a lot of people they can build a house faster because they have more people to help them do the work.
    4.) No I do not think our Minecraft society is an actual civilization because in a civilization you need a type of art like music and in our Minecraft society we don’t have any sign of music anywhere. Another detail to prove that our society is not an actual civilization is because we do not have a government to control our society. So because we don’t have these things personally I would not consider our Minecraft society a civilization.

  26. I THINK MY CIVILIZATION IS DOING VERY WELL.NOW THAT WE GOT GOING I THINK THERE IS NOT A SINGLE PROBLEM IN THE CIVILIZAITION I SAY THIS BECAUSE All OF THE JOBS IN MY CLASS IS DOING THIER OWN PART AND NO ONE IS FOOLING AROUND. BUT I THINK THAT WE DONT HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE TO DO THINGS AT ONCE SO THAT IS OUR ONLY KEY FACTOR.WITH EVERYTHING ELSE I THINK EVERYTHING IS PERFECT.
    YES I THINK IT IS EASYER WITH MORE PEOPLE BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE MORE HELP THE FASTER THE BETTER THE MORE THINGS EACH JOB CAN DO BUT IF YOU HAVE ONLY A BIT OF PEOPLE THE HARDER EACH JOB AND GROWING THE CIVILIZATION WILL GET.ALSO I THINK THAT CIVILIZATIONS WITH MORE PEOPLE ARE MUCH BETTER BECAUSE THEY EACH HAVE A GOOD CHANCE TO PROTECT THEM SELF WHEN THERE IS A FIGHT OR CONFILCT GOING ON THOUGH EACH OTHER CIVILIZATIONS IN THE REGON.
    NO THIS TIME I DONT THINK my civilization is yet a real civilization right now

  27. My experience starting our civilization was very fun. We occurred a few problems in the beginning, but later mot of them wee fixed. The things that went well was the progress we made for us ranchers. We made pens for each animal, and gave out wool and eggs to the crafters who needed the supplies. On the other hand the things that went poorly was the food storage. People were taking more food then needed and causing others to go through starvation. Those problems were occurring in the beginning, but now that everybody s working together, the food storage is much better. Things that still need to be done is more weapons and material. No, I don't think this would be easier with more people. Why because if we already have food problems with just this amount of people, with more people it would be even harder. Yes we would have more people to contribute and help, but survival is more important. Yes because they had more people to do jobs. Not yet because there is a little more progress and important things to be done, for example, building houses, farming, crafting, ranching, and etc.

  28. Starting the civilization was good. Right now we have a good amount of food and materials we have a full chest of wood and tons of food. The only thing that has gone poorly is team work between the jobs because some people are not doing their job and are doing nothing that helps the civilization.They still need to finish the houses.I think it would be easier with more people because then more people could be doing the stuff we need them to do and it would get done faster.I think that a civilization with more people have a advantage and a disadvantage the advantage being that you have more people and the disadvantage being that you need to supply more food.Are minecraft society would not be counted as a civilization because all the jobs we have are based on building, collecting, and getting food no jobs for anything else.

  29. 1)I think the things that went well was that was that I got to be a major contribute to the community with the crafting that like pickaxes and bone meal, I didn't get to cook food yet but I at least help the others with the requests. There were thing that went poorly like the crafting area get filled with people, crafters doing nothing, or crafters hogging some things.

    2)I think it would be easier with a little more people in crafters because we need to craft a little bit more faster so the other can keep doing their job.

    3) I think civilizations with more people have some advantages over those with fewer people because if there were more builders, there would be more buildings, if there were more farmers, there would be more food, and if there were more ranchers, there would be more meat to cook.

    4) Our Minecraft society is not an actual civilization because we don't have painters, musicians, sculptors, etc, and as it says at number four up their, we also need jobs that don't contribute to survival, and as I know, there is no jobs in our society that don't contribute to survival, therefore, we are not truly a civilization.

  30. Things are going very well with our civilization because our builders are working very hard to build the houses and churches. Also so far we have a stable food supply and stable animal supply. Some things that are not going well is that people our not doing there such as how people that work for the farm keep going into the caves and dieing to lava and they are fooling around not doing there job. I think there would pros and cons the pros would be that there would be more people working and doing there job. The con would be that there would be to much people also more people not doing there job. I think people with more people had an advantage because the group with more people could take over the smaller group and may be take there land. I believe it is a civilization because we have all the things we need such as a stable food supply miners craftrs homes everything. That is how we have a proper civilization.

  31. My job is a rancher. We still need to feed the animals and keep up the good work. Are job is fun we get to help out and everyone is helping no one is doing a poor job. I think it would be a little better with like 2 more people but 4 people in our group is good because everyone helps out and doesn’t do a poor job. My job is good we are getting a lot done!!

  32. 1. Our civilization starting out was okay but, not perfect either. It was unorganized at first but, it got better. It's going pretty well so far since, we have a stable food supply and, buildings being built. We also have a ranch going with a bunch of animals. It still does get a little crazy once in a while but, we manage to get back to normal. We still need more buildings of course, as well as some more crops and, animals. Still though, we are doing really well.
    2. In my opinion, it would be helpful to have a bit more people helping out. First, it would all go a lot faster and be more organized.It'd be a lot easier but on the contrary, it would cause more focus to stay organized with so many people.
    3. Yes and no, like I said before, it would be helpful to have more people working but, people would need more focus. As well as, more organization with people to work more and, not cause as much trouble as we do now sometimes. This is why I think it would be nicer to have more people but, it'd be simpler to have fewer people.
    4. No, if to truly be a civilization it would take jobs that aren't important to our survival, no, our civilization just isn't stable enough to have these things. We still need help with things and, jobs that aren't important to our survival would just cause more issues. On the contrary things are going well and, we are evolving quickly. Our civilization could still be considered a civilization even though, we don't have these jobs.

  33. So far it was instristing being in a civilization.The things that diddnt go so good were that a civilization needs alot a cummincation and supplies to get it going. The things that did go good were getting the farm ready and getting a stable food suppley for everyone.The crafters did a good jod of taking oders and getting the orders done quick for exsaple, axes, torces, food, and signs.
    I think we would get more work done with more people,but it would be harder to cummicate with each other.Like i said yes they would get more work done,but harder to cummicate with each other. Now the people with fewer people would get less work done then the civilization with more people,but easier to cumnincate with orders and easier on the crafspeople.so its half and half.
    No we are not there yet,but i think we could be able to have musicans eventuly. but we could keep growing and be a civilization.

  34. Starting a civilization was a little challenging.At first we didn’t have much of an stable food supply,and now we have more than enough.The lumberjacks have an giving lots of wood.The builders have also been working hard too.The ranchers are are getting more animals.The miner have also found many things.But there have been little mishaps here and there,but everything is going smoothly.All that we need to finish is the houses and buildings that still need to be worked on.

    If the civilization had more people it would be easier to get more items,food,buildings,and other supplies.But we will need more food if we had more people,that’s what makes it hard to have a bigger civilization.But if the civilization had less people it would be easier in a way.We would always have lots of food and many items to share.But there would not be much of an protection system,because if we were attacked we would easily get wiped out.

    I would think the civilization would basically be an civilization.Yes we do not have artists, performers, musicians,and sculptors.But we do have the basic things you would need in a civilization.The artists, performers, musicians,and sculptors are not as important as the crafters,builders,farmers,ranchers,miners,and lumberjacks.That’s why I think that the civilization is an actual civilization.

  35. I'm a farmer. it was pretty lit because only after a day we had a stable food supply. There are many concerns like people are starving but aren't going to the chest full of melons, carrots, and, potatos. This definitely would be much easier with more people because with only four farmers it got hard at times so we asked any crafters with free time (especially Mahkel) to bonemeal it up. I do think that the civilizations with more people had more power cause there might be more people to have jobs so things might get done quicker. I don't think that our society is a complete civilization yet because everyone is still contributing to society.- Ashana Robinson

  36. 1)My experience in starting the civilization is that it is very easy to be a farmer, except the part that the whole town is counting on you to give them food. The thing that when well is that we got a lot of crops to grow and harvest the crops in a good amount of time. The things that went poorly is that someone came into the farm and turned the sign from one of the foods, to “you ugly”. Another thing that went poorly is that four of the six people in our group went to the thing that they wanted to do. Also the people in different groups kept on jumping on the tilled crops and messed up the crops and soil. What needs to be done is that we need to keep on planting and harvesting crops.
    2/3) I think it wouldn’t be easier with more people because with more people, there is a higher chance of other people arguing and more people messing around and we will not get anything productive done. With less people, we can get more done because there is not as much arguing as there was with more people. I think if we had more people, it would be worse than you having to do it all the work by yourself,but if we the people were more organized and we worked better together, more people would get better and we would get more things done.
    4) If it takes jobs like artists, performers, musicians, and sculptors to be considered a true civilization, then I don’t think we are a civilization yet. I think we are not a civilization because we do not have any of the buildings for the jobs at all and we do not have any sort of jobs besides the ones we are working for these past couple of days.

  37. What went well in the first day of civilization is the orders because we got the orders but everybody didn't have patients so it got us distracted. It went poorly the second day because they we didn't start to get orders. When we got the orders they needed to wait like 5 minutes to gather up the materials. What stills needs to be done is that the lumberjacks get apples and that miners get more gold to make gold apples for the ranchers, and more food to cook.

    I think it will be harder with more people because it is harder to feed people build houses and we crafters would need, more materials which is hard because all the time we do deliveries we need to do. It would be harder because if you go out there will be to many people wandering around because of to many people. I think that the small class we have is better because it is more peaceful, easier.

    I think the people that have more have a good civilization because they might have more materials but like more the people more they ask you. Then that means you have to work 5x harder because you need materials. That means more people to feed, more people to farm, more rancher, more crafters, more miners, more lumberjacks, and more house and builders. I think small civilization is more peaceful and relaxing.

    Well I think it kind of is because of the jobs we do. The job we do are real jobs in real life, but Minecraft is a game that's why I think it is cordova real and cordova a game. We craft stuff, mine stuff, farm stuff, build stuff,brake trees, and ranch. Does are all real life job that we all can do when we grow up. So rite now my opinion is we are a civilization because we are learning how to be, a civilization.

  38. Starting the civilization, it didn't go well at all. We/The Ranchers had trouble working on multiple things at once, such as keeping certain animals alive or animal pen placement. We have been doing much better as of today, we have been plentiful of animals, and the only thing we need to do it spawn horses, sadly, we couldn't do that today because one of our memebers had all the spawn eggs and was absent.
    I don't really think that more people is a requirement, it was actually more calm and more organized when one of us wasn't present, no offense towards Mary. I just don't believe that a more mininalist group is slightly less over-whelming. The previous statement supports the third question, having less people means more calmer and more stable plans, if that makes sense. If more people are doing more things, its hard to keep up.
    This last question is really hard for me to answer, because the only communication we've bad was plans in order to stay alive, and in this specific case, we haven't been really focusing on entertainment such as the listed hobbies. Aside from a few jokes here and there, Minecraft really just doesn't have the need for entertainment, so I don't believe it's a true civilization. Especially because the communication with other teams have been scarce, besides from nodding, spamming crouch, and giving massive stacks of equipment to eachother.

  39. well the houses took time but it was mostly fun to be creative and make house that you like hope other people will like it and the time we had wasn't much but we did the best we could and well nothing much went badly.I think it is easier with people because when you work together you get more done and it done fast plus you have to work as a at a town to get things working and helps you get to know people better.I think it would be a advantage because you get things faster when you have a lot of people working and it is a less advantage when you have fewer people because you work slower and have a little of time so it will real just not be a town. we do have a civilization society because we have jobs and food and house and people and people who builder and lumberjacks and crafts people and farmers and people who dig coal and we have people who help us that's why I think it is a civilization society. keyla martinez prosper

  40. Every thing that we did went very well.It would be easier with more people because every thing will get done faster.It would be easier if we had more people in the civilization every thing will get done faster.Our Minecraft socity is a civilization because we have builders,farmers,crafters,miners,and animal keepers.

  41. Starting the civilization the ranchers were unorganized and we do not communicate. However we regrouped a little bit and had ideas about what everyone was doing.The main problem we had was lack of communication. All the dancers need to do now is keep breeding animals and get materials from them. I absolutely not think this would be easier with more people. I can support my opinion because lack of communication from five people is enough that seven, eight, or nine people. However two people could work at each job and it would get done quicker. Yes, I do think civilizations with more people have an advantage because you get jobs done quicker which means you can start speacializing in other things or you can help other people. No technically our civilization is not a real one. A civilization has to have inventions and music and art. Our civilization does not have that. Therefore Minecraft is not a civilization but it is a simulization of one.

  42. My experience when starting the civilization is that it was rough at first because almost everyone was starving while doing their jobs. Now, we have a steady supply of food. I think that it would be harder with more people because it would be a lot harder to track a large amount of people and there could be a lot more problems. I think that civilizations with more people do have some advantages over smaller civilizations. They are able to do things quicker and they can have more workers. I don't think that we are a proper civilization because we don't have jobs like musicians, sculptors, or artists.

  43. 1.) I think that starting the civilization was pretty easy as a miner because all we have to do at the beginning and kind of all the time is look for materials. Finding the more valuable materials was what went well for us. Some things that went bad was that a teammate couldn't find her way to the mine on the first day, and when she did she jumped off the the mountain and fell to her death.

    2.) My answers are yes and no because the more people you have the more work that gets done. But when you have too many people there is a lot more confusion and distractions and people that want to ride the horses at the ranch.

    3.) Once again I think the answer is yes and no because the more people you have the more people you have to feed. Having more people helps work get done faster. The lesser amount of people you have the less people you have to feed. If you don’t have a lot of people work takes longer to get done.

    4.) I say that we still are a civilization since we have the main characteristics of a civilization. We can write in books to communicate with the crafters. We kind of have a stable food supply. Since we still have those characteristics it leads me to believe that we can actually be called a civilization.

  44. {1}When I first started I was nervous because I didn’t think we were going to do so well.But my expectation was wrong although we started off pretty shaky we got back up and did the best we could.We were not communicating didn’t work together fought over little mistakes at the beginning.We got back together communicated and worked like a team.Although our civilization started not to well we all did are part we got back up and did our very best.
    {2}I think our civilization would be good with more people because we can get more things done and have more materials.Our civilization will build up faster plus we will be getting way more food.{3}I think civilizations with fewer people don’t have much of a advantage as civilizations with more.I expect groups with fewer people to have not as much food or homes or much of anything really.
    {4}I think we are a civilization because we proved a ton of materials and food so everybody can survive.We also work as a team get things done we have a stable food supply we have homes and wood.We take in everything we do and makes it a civilization of our own.That’s how people working can be something amazing a civilization.

  45. When I started my civilization the thing that I think well was how we found a lot of gold and different stone. The thing that I thought that went poorly was in my group no one helped me so I had to try to figure it out myself. Also we needed torches but the crafters didn't give one yet. Yes I think it would be easier with more people because all of us can each do different tasks and come together with a lot of stone, ore etc. Yes I think that the civilizations that had more people had more advantages because everyone can tackle different tasks and have advantages to have a lot of items for their civilization. I think that Minecraft is basically a civilization because everyone has a job to provide for their civilization.

  46. Starting a civilization in Minecraft was very exciting. On the first day, it went pretty well for the miners, even though many people died. For example, I died twice from fall damage and starvation. In the civilization, the builders still need to finish their buildings and we need more food from the farmers and ranchers. I think it would help if we had more people to get everything done, but only if they do the job they were given. If there were more people though who act bad by killing animals when they’re not ranchers, or cooking food when they’re not crafters, then our civilization won’t survive. I think civilizations with more people had an advantage, but only if the people were helping and working hard. If they weren’t working, then they didn’t have much of an advantage. We are not stable enough to have jobs that don’t involve our survival, so our Minecraft society is not an actual civilization yet.

  47. 1.When i started growing crops it was challenging because i wasn't use to the controles and the crops were not growing as fast. one thing that is going well is that the crops are now starting to grow faster because we have a few people that are coming to help from different areas and the crafts people are making lots of bone meal for the crops.

    2.Yes! I think that this would be easier if more people would help the farmers because we would be able to plant more crops and collect more as we go so we could feed more people at once and not have to feed a phew people at a time like feed five people and then feed five more and after that have to feed ten more people. We can just feed everybody at once.

    3.I think if we had fewer people it would be easier and also if we had more people it would also be easier. if we have less people we wouldn't have to feed as many people as if we had to feed more people. If we had more people than we would have to feed more people but a good thing is that we would have more workers and more builders. In my opinion having more people would be better because we would get things done faster and it would be easier to do things. That means we would have to feed more people but i think we would be able to do it.

    4.To be able to be a full civillition we would have to do all of these things and we would have to do them every day so it would take very long but at the end it would turn out to be a good thing because we would all help each other.In my opinion yes our game is just like it would be in real life because, we have all of the crops and we have wood we have crafts people and we have animals so we have everything we would need in real life.

  48. The buildings turned out really well today we got a lot of progress because everyone was doing their job they were given. Instead of helping out with other people. I don't think anything went wrong today because once again everyone did their job so there was no confusion. In my opinion things would go less smooth if we had more people because more people would have to be fed also everyone would be scattered around doing there own thing. I don't think our Minecraft civilization is a real civilization because it's a video game.

  49. What went well for us is we got a lot more animals which is good, we got horses, pigs, sheep. It would be a lot easier with more people because we can get a lot more done. it is an advantage for people with more members rather than fewer people. no our civilization is considered one because we have jobs.

  50. We did poorly first then we got better as we went. we really need oak wood or any kind of wood. i think it would be better if we have more people,because we would get more work done but it would be hard to cumunicate.If we had more people in the civilization we would have so much done because there is more help in things we need help in. We do need more people to help in everything because when we give orders some people are not getting them when we need them.

  51. I think we are doing good so far but the buliders need a lot of wood.Also the ranchers need more apples for the horses.are civilization is going good so far.what is going poorly is people stealing food that the ranchers can use.I think if we had more people in our civilization i think it would break apart faster.Also we would have to feed more people.I think we would still be civilizaiton all the artists and performers are just extra things a civilizaton wants or haves.

  52. I think in the begging of the civilization it was starting ok. It was a little hard seance everybody was trying to get used to everything because we just started and nobody could do anything with out stuff that they need.I think it was harder with less people.Yes if we had more people the less people we would have.that doesn't meen that we cant have more workers farming.We would get a lot more done with more people.I also defentiley think that the civilizations with more people get a better advantage.I meen they could get a lot more work done sence they have more workers.Yes I think that we are a actual civilization because we do everything that real civilization do.If we had a little more time we could probably do more things.That is what I think about are civilization.

  53. 1.In the beginning of the civilization I was worried that we ( my group as farming ) weren't going to have enough food for our whole civilization. But with the help of Miners , Lumberjacks and crafters day two we had a pretty good food supply going. Nothing really went poorly for us . We all worked together and supported our civilization.
    2.and 3) In my opinion I think it’s easier with less people. We work better with less people. Also that's just my opinion.
    4) In my opinion I think our civilization is not a stable civilization yet. If we had one more week or a couple more days I think we would have a stable civilization. We also don’t have other jobs such as teacher to educate kids and musicians and such more. So technically we don't have a stable civilization yet.

  55. Our civilization is doing good but we need more crops and buildings.
    Yes it would be easier with more people because if we have more people it would be easier to get more done
    I think its better with more people because we get to put more food into the box with more people
    No minecraft is not a civilization because theres no performers or dancers

  56. the things that when well was that their was more food and their was more wood.The thing that when poorly was that it was not a lot of animals.yes it would be easier with more people because we all can get supplies more faster.no i think the civilization when be faster with more people.no because i think the civilization is not stable.

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

    My experience is good because I got help from the other crafters. the food cooking the crafting thing stable food supply.

    no because people would be all over the place.
    ? no because every body would be in the way.

    ? yes because we don't need those things were al ready a good civilization.

  58. Describe your experience starting the civilization. What went well? What went poorly? What still needs to be done? Things are going well. 1 thing went porley I drowned. I still need to sheer sheep.

    2.) Do you think this would be easier with more people? Why or why not? no because its luumberjacks and I can cut down trees myself.

    3.) Do you think that civilizations with more people had an advantage over those with fewer people? Why or why not? No because it wont be even

    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? yes because everyone has diffrent jobs if everyone wasjust running around trying to find jobs it wont be a civilisation.

  59. 1.) one thing that is going well in our civilation is we are working well together and everybody doing there job that they where

    2.) yes i do think it would be easer with more people because we would get things done easer and faster.We would also work way better as a group.
    I think our civilation would be better because some people our not doing there job they are doing other jobs.But on the good side we our making a stedy food suply and the bilders are making our city look good . that is why we our making a good civilation

  60. 1. When we started the civilization all we had was diamond axes and trees. At first the mine was fine being next to the forest was fine until today I backed up and died. Also every lumberjack already got lost.
    2-3.I think it would be harder with more people because they will get lost meaning we have to find more people.I also think it would be easier because we get more done.
    4.Our Minecraft society is not a real society because we only focused on survival and nothing else.

  62. My experience was flattering. It help me learn what a civilization was like. Also i learn the responsibilities of being in a civilization. I think this lesson was good for us because we had a visual of what people back then lived like. This project help me a lot because it was fun and it was educational. When we started the civilization things weren't going as plan for the lumberjacks or the civilization. Farmers needed more people to grow crops. Ranchers needed help with the animals. Crafters didn't have as much supplies. Lumberjacks did not find as much apples for the animals . Another thing lumberjacks where having trouble with was that lumberjacks where getting lost.Then we needed the other lumberjacks to help us find our way back but then they got lost. But in the other hand things started to get better the next day. The civilization had much progress. I as a lumberjack found more apples then i did the first day.lumberjacks also didn't get as lost as the first day because we need which way not to go.The ranchers had proceeded with the animals because they had animals in the ranch. The farmers were getting much more help from people that didn't have nearly things to do in their job. I necessarily think that are civilization needs more progress. Like we need more seeds for the farmers. Builders should built more. Ranchers should get more animals for the ranch. ALso lumberjacks should find more apples for the animals from the ranch if the ranchers get more animals so they dont starve to death.

    no! i don't think the game would be easier with more people.Is that having more people can be bad. More people would starve faster because their wouldn't be enough food for a lot of people. Farmers would run out of seeds to grow crops because they would have to feed everyone. Also ranchers wouldn't have enough animals to feed people because they would have to kill them so people don’t starve. But another thing is that having more people could help. Having more people could help us do things faster. Like growing more crops faster and helping the builders build more things. Also more people could help the lumberjacks find apples and get more trees. They could help the ranchers to get more animals or find animals and help the craftspeople make more things faster.

    Our civilization is not a fully civilization. To be a fully civilization we need Geography,Religion,Achievements,Politics,Economics, and Society. This things are important to make a civilization because if we don’t it’s not consider a civilization. In Minecraft is not i civilization because we only have geography and achievements to be a truly civilization we need religion,economic ,politics, and society having all of this people will not do bad things or do things there are not supposed to do in a civilization..

  63. I think my civilization went well. The builders are building alot of things and the farmers are very good. The ranchers should keep their horses on saddles so they can ride them into the right area
    I think that it would be easier with more people because people can help the crafters, farmers, builders and everyone else.Those with more people definitely have more of an advantage.
    We do not have artists, dancers, sculptors so its not a true civilization

  64. We are building houses and everything is going well but we need ladders. I think wee would need more people because it'll help us work faster
    I think my civilization is working fine. We need beds though
    We do not have artists and sculptors so it is not a true civilization

  65. Starting an civilization was easy for me because all I needed to do was cut trees and plant sapling. everything went well. Nothing went poorly because everything went really good. I think everything will be easier with more people because the more people you have, the quicker things will get done.Yes, those with more people had an advantage over those with fewer people
    This is a true civilization because we are still getting things done and don't have to have artists and sculptors

    ReplyDelete
  66. I think the civilization is going well. I'm a farmer and the problem is people keep stepping on the crops and we have to start over. I think it would be better with less people so nobody will destroy our stuff. This is still a civilization without any artist or musicians. bryar

  67. its going well because farming is the easy thing for me and its not that hard.

    ReplyDelete
  68. My experience on starting a civilization is an okay experience. starting the farm had a good start but as time went on people started to get careless and started leaving the farm and joining other jobs. It honestly would be easier with less people as long as they would cooperate and obtain the farm.

    I think that civilizations with more people have an advantage over those with fewer people because they have more people to obtain jobs and make buildings get finished faster. Finally i dont think that our civilization is a civilization because we dont have a ruler/ king and that is a important part of a civilization.
