The Intrepid

Hey everyone  long time no see. I took a long long break from blogging. Today is a special post about the cool battle ship " The Intrepid". Why I'm doing this? Its because I recently went there and  talking about what the Intrepid did for us and the place in the ship. Basically the Intrepid is a fighter plane that fought in World War 2. The Intrepid is huge. It is 912 feet by 192 feet. Amazing isn't  it. Also the Intrepid was launched in 1943, April 26.  So the history of the USS Intrepid(full name) is the fourth navy ship ever launched. It was used to fight in World War II. The Intrepid suffered so much during her war.She undergo many repair after being struck by a torpedo.This ship also help us. Due to its massive endurance  it could withstand a powerful blow. Not only helped us in war also became part of the US Atlantic Fleet. Also became the head quarters of the FBI after the 9/11 attacks. In 1986 it was declared to be a historic landmark. After that it was docked in New York on Pier 86. Below is the picture of the Intrepid in battle.



Next I'll talk about one deck in the Intrepid. I'll talk about the hanger deck. The Berthing deck is a place in the Intrepid where the soldiers would take rest and hangout.Three soldiers would have to share one locker. The beds would be so uncomfortable because it was made out of material that would be to itchy. Since there were no air condition the nights would be very hot for the soldiers. The purpose of the Berthing deck is to relax the soldier to hangout.

During my trip I experienced how the Intrepid fought in battle. I saw they used planes on the ship to ride and attack the foe. This is important because to learn about this will give people an interest. Also where and how they use the decks.

  • Arrived at pearl harbor to prepare for the invasion
  • Truk. Went to the secret base of the Japanese
  • Went to San Francisco to prepare for post war
  • Eniwitok. Arrived there to continue to fight and make a move
  • Mindanaeo  to strike the air fields
  • Nuzon to attack the Japanese
  • Visayan Sea to plan for attacks
A list of the ports.


So my trip was awesome. The Intrepid did many things for us. This is how tough it is.

The Gravestone Mod
   Hey everyone. Today is the gravestone mod. This mod basically adds gravestones to your game. This is actually a cool mod. You might think that it only adds gravestones to your game, but you can get loot when you survive in the harsh conditions in the cemetery. The cemeteries are located in the village where the villagers are. What I mean by loot is you can get awesome items at different graves. There is a warrior grave which contains armor,swords, and pickaxes.Miner graves contain minerals such as gold ,diamond, emerald, iron,red stone, and Lauritz. Basically the addition to the game is graves, graveyards, new type of block, wither spawner, and time blocks, and Withers catacomb. Here is a graveyard below.
    Another cool thing is that when you die a grave will spawn and you can read information about your death. Time blocks are blocks that are very weird. Once you step one the block it will change the time of the day to sunset which will allow monsters to rise. Only zombies and skeletons will rise at night. If you survive you get rewards in the grave. I forgot that there is a wizard grave that is filled with potions, enchantment book and potion ingredients. Last thing I'll touch on is the Withers catacomb.  To find these catacombs, you need to go to the cemeteries and you'll find the entrance. Just a warning if you downloaded this mod and go into the catacombs, be careful about traps. Also these underground place go so deep into the ground. There are enemies and treasures too. At the end of the catacomb you'll see Wither  guarding the nether portal. Here is a video for more information.

The Dungeon Pack Mod
   Hey everyone. Today I'm talking about the Dungeon Pack Mod. This mod adds more places to mine craft. There are dungeons located everywhere. For example one dungeon in this mod is a pyramid. These dungeons can be great homes for you. Each dungeon always has a spawner and a chest. With this mod you can enable cheat mode and disable dungeons. Since you can go onto cheat mode  you can put anything you want in that chest. Diamonds, emerald anything you want. Can be enchanted armor. Here is a dungeon example below.                                              
    As you can see this is what the pyramid looks like,pretty neat, Am I Right? But the only good part about this mod is the structures, not really anything added. But look on the bright side, you can have a pirate ship and a fort to live in. Here is a video about the Dungeon  Pack Mod.

The Atum Mod
       Hey everyone. Today is the atum mod. This is a fairly interesting mod. You travel to another dimension and there are different types of mobs. There's also one new type of armor and weapons. First you need to make this bug out of 4 gold and diamond. This bu is called the " Scarab". Next you need to make a portal out of sandstone just like shown below.
After making the portal, put that bug into the middle of the portal. Then you travel to Atum. Atum is described to be a dry climate with new mobs. It is like a desert. But the mobs to warn you about is that one of them rob you so that will be hard. Those guys are called Brigands. There are also other mobs like nomads, mummy, angry bone, Wraith, Tomb Guard, and finally the Pharaoh. All of these mobs are hostile. I'm not sure if there are animals are roaming the place of Atum. Just a warning it is a dangerous place. A good addition is there is new armor and weapons. Here's a picture of them below. This the whole set. Basically it is a mixture of diamond and gold.


So that's all for this mod. Still it is pretty interesting mod. I recommend you to download this mod. Here is a video about the Atum Mod. ENJOY!!!!

andomly spawn mobs. Here is a pic of the pandoras box. As you can see in the background you see lava everywhere. Remember that the box can spawn anything. 



The Pandoras box can be a mystery box. For example the video I will show you would show all the different things like spawn ocelot and dogs. Also change the flooring of all the land to many blocks in the game. For example TNT ,Emerald,Diamond, Glass, and etc. The thing about floating trees is very weird. Sometime it may bring nether blocks too. Here is the video about it.

Lava Monster Mod
          Hey everyone. Here is the lava monster mod. It is obvious you the monster is made of lava. It adds a mob called the lava monster and it adds something called the lava boots which are used for protection from that ferocious mob. Lava monsters can drop good things, but usually their drops are destroyed instantly. This mod can be found in the Nether. Imagine since the monster spawns in lava areas, by the time you know it you'll be chased by so many lava monsters. Here's a picture of the lava monster. But if you look at the picture it looks weak but telling will sound very dangerous

This mob is also dangerous because if it reaches above ground you can see it can make a forest fire if you are near an area of trees. This mob can also shoot fireballs at you so good luck with that. Well that is all it can do. Here is a video of it.

Nether vs Aether

                                                        Aether vs Nether
   Have you ever thought which place is more challenging?Everyone knows the dangerous underground place filled with lava,the nether. The Aether is the opposite of the nether.It is located in the sky with new mobs and new types ores. You can also make new items/tools. Nether is a place of lava and mobs like zombiepigmen. The aether also has dungeons. But which is more challenging.

                                          The Aether                                 The Aether is a realm in the sky opposing to the nether underground. The way to get to the aether is to build a nether but out of glowstone. You need to the water in the middle. Once you step inside you'll arrive at the aether. The aether has risk of you falling to death which can be a challenge. The aether contains new mobs like flying cows,moa, and bosses like Sun Spirit. I'll talk about the Aether in depth for the next post. The Aether also has dungeons where you can fight bosses to get to the chest at the end. This is the hard part for the Aether. One more challenging thing is the hostile mobs. People usually visit the aether and don't know how strong the mobs are here is a video of what the Aether looks like.





                                                                The Nether
The nether is a dangerous place like the aether. This place has crazy amount of lava which you'll be dead in seconds. Also mobs like zombiepigmen and ghasts can be after you in minutes. Those are the only hazards not that many mobs. But still it is ferocious in there. So be careful.
                                                    Challenges Aether                                    
  • Bosses
  • Mobs
  • Sky Drop

                                                    Challeneges Nether
  • Lava
  • mobs


                                                                       Results
 Based on the information I was thinking the aether was more challenging.
