The Saga of RedMcNed: #21 Secret Sky Base Mob Farm
Channel: RedMcNed
Date: 2015-09-25

A Minecraft 1.8.8 vanilla survival let's play series.  In this episode, a mob farm is constructed for XP and drops (start 7:28 ) ( red stone 12:20 ) and I show you how I keep secret structures off my maps ( 2:34 ).  Also proof that render distance must be at least 10 chunks for sky mob spawners to work in 1.8 ( 24:40 ).

The Saga of RedMcNed is a Minecraft survival let's-play with one rule:   Everything built must be given context (a purpose/reason for existing as it does).
Main goals: 
1.)  I love the idea of finding something bigger than myself that I can be immersed in and explore.  I want to make a world like that in Minecraft, and I think that context rule will help a lot.
2.)  To demonstrate how the context rule can help keep Minecraft interesting.  If you like building, start off excited in a new world, but find yourself losing interest in a month or so despite all that, I'd recommend giving it a try.

New episode every Thursday (unless it's late...but it will happen once per week!)(I'll post changes on the channel banner)

Editing software/hardware I use:

Turtle Beach Ear Force PX22 headset (record audio, listen to game sounds) (It records directly to the video, but sometimes it glitches out if my computer can't handle what's happening and needs to freeze.  I bet there's a way to record separately, but it wouldn't help me, unless I had another computer to use).

X-split Gamecaster (record video) (it's free and doesn't leave a watermark at 480p, which is the most I can record at, so that works for me.  It can also record audio with video, but I don't need that for my setup)

Audacity (edit audio) (Very good audio editing free-ware.  I use it to layer and synchronize multiple audio tracks, aka make sound collages, when needed)

Windows Movie Maker (edit and combine video and audio) (also free for Microsoft users)

My computer (can barely make these videos so I wont talk about its specs.  Suffice it to say I'm looking to upgrade it)

Mouse: Logitech G500s (I think I can stop listing what I use now.  This is my favorite mouse I've ever used though)
