MINECRAFT

Minecraft is a great game.

Do you know what Minecraft is? If you don’t know  it is a video game that many people around the world play. The main developer of Minecraft is Notch (Markus Persson) who in 2012, handed the job over to Jeb (Jens Bergensten).

Minecraft was first released in 2009. In 2010, Minecraft moved to the Alpha stage. In 2011, Minecraft won many game awards. In 2013 Minecraft got “the Horse Update” that ads horses and lots of other  really cool things. In 2014 Minecraft gets The Bountiful Update. It includes many new  items and lots of new mobs like endermites, guardians, and rabbits.

Minecraft is a game were all the items are shaped like cubes. There is no rule of physics, because all the blocks besides gravel and sand can float in midair without any support.

There are two main modes in Minecraft. There is Survival mode and Creative mode. They are both really fun but they are both really different.

Creative Mode

In creative mode you don’t have to worry at all about survival. Mobs (monsters) don’t attack you, you can fly(it’s really awesome), and you have every single block that’s possible to build with. In Creative mode you have an unlimited source of blocks.

Survival Mode

In Survival mode you have to survive(of course) monsters, big drops, lava, and drowning. You have to gather resources to Survive and build a house. You have to craft all of your tools and items using a crafting table and smelt ore in a furnace. But that doesn’t stop you from building cool things in survival, but you have to gather all the resources but it’s still lots of fun.

Multiplayer

With Multiplayer you can play with your friends. You can build amazing structures by working together in creative or you can survive together in Survival and battle of monsters. Either way Multiplayer is really fun.

Redstone

Redstone kind of like electricity, but you have to mine it, deep down in the ground. With redstone you can make fancy lighting, computers, and many more! With redstone, it’s like programming, but inside the game!

In conclusion, Minecraft is a really cool, complex game. Here is the link to the official Minecraft website.

Yurok Indians traditional foods and cooking

If you were a Yurok Indian and if your had to hunt all day for a meal how would you feel? Personally I wouldn’t like that at all. The Yurok Indians ate mostly salmon and acorns. They hunted, fished, and gathered their food in lakes, rivers, the Pacific Ocean and in the forests and lands all around them.

 What did they eat?

The Yurok Indian’s main diet was acorns and used a mortar and grounded them. They also ate salmon a lot they dried the fish and ate it like that. Sea lions seals sturgeon and aquatic animals.

Acorns were the Yurok’s main food source.

Did the food change the season?

Yes like if some berries were in season or acorns then the children would pick them.And if the salmon were big and fat then they would kill them.

Who made the food?

The whole family did.The men of the family were fishermen and would fish almost all day. The children would pick berries and acorns for the den.While everyone was collecting foods or berries and acorns the women would make the food.

How did they cook the food?

They would dried the seaweed and made black cakes. They put acorns in a mortar and ground them to acorn mush. They used sun and dried the salmon.

How did the collect the food?

When a dead whale washed up along shore and got the meat of the whale and prized that meat. They used snares and harpoons for fish hunting. They put berries in baskets for later use.Now you know what the Yurok Indians ate and hunted. So next time you eat a subway or fish taco wonder?What big case of drama it took to get that taco or burger.
