We are ready to set off for a little more adventure in Minecraft. Today, we will be taking our map out to chart some more of the world and see if we can run across a swamp. Swamps in Minecraft have a few resources that are rare, mainly vines and lily pads. Will we be able to find them before the skeletons, creepers, and zombies come out to play?
New Rooms in Mitchcraft
Wanted to spend some time adding onto the main house. Today we will add a room on both the left and the right. One of them will end up being a bed room but I am totally open to suggestions for the other room. Let me know!
Wheat Farming in Minecraft
Ready for some Mitchcraft? In this first episode of my new YouTube series I will show you what I’ve done to get started in this new world and also start a wheat farm right in front of your eyes. I have skipped over some of the basic “first day” type game play that many people have covered before me. Trying to get right to the meat and potatoes of game play. Be sure to leave a comment, like the video and subscribe if you want to see more Mitchcraft episodes.
What is Mitchcraft?
As you can tell from our last post, I have been playing a lot of Minecraft as of late. So, I thought to myself, “Mitch, why not kill two birds with one stone and produce content AND play Minecraft at the same time?”. So, after being a fan of many popular YouTube “Let’s Play” series I thought it was about time for me to give it a shot. So, that is how Mitchcraft was born.
Flip UltraHD Camcorder
When looking for a camcorder a few months back, I wanted something that was both lightweight and would provide me with a good enough quality to make it last a while. I found both of these features – and many more with the Flip UltraHD Camcorder.
The best feature of this camcorder has to be that it is really simple to use. You honestly point it in the direction you want to film and then push the big red shinny button on the back.
Watch Videos Saved in Your Cache

After watching a video online, you might decide you want to watch it again later – but rather than going to the website again and slowly downloading it as you watch, you would like to have a local copy. The freeware program, VideoCacheView will let you easily recover videos from your browser’s cache.
Download the YouTube Downloader

Looking for a way to download YouTube videos, without cluttering your browser of choice with yet another extension or add-on? YouTube Downloader is a free program you can download and use to get this simple job done.
All you have to do is enter the web site address of the video into the program, and hit the, OK button. The rest of the process is taken care of internally via the program.

VLC Gets Better FLV Support and New Look
I have always been a big fan of VideoLAN – VLC media player, and with the most recent upgrade it looks like the best just keeps getting better.
The biggest improvement over past versions is that the FLV support is much better. So if you download a lot of YouTube (or any of the other video sharing sites) videos, you will no longer have to reload the player if you try to fast forward or rewind. You can check out the full list of features too for this tiny player, if you are not impressed yet. For more on this most recent release, check out the “What is cool in 0.9″ page or check out this video:

Skeleton’s Ravine (Part 1)
On today’s episode of Mitchcraft, we are going to take a trip down the second (and much more scary) ravine we’ve run across to see what type of goodies it has in store for us.
