Kraft is the family gaming server that we started early 2025.

Villagers are really hard to get gong. We have this huge villager tower on the server, we nearly every bed filled, and one day we logged in and there were three. Not sure what happened until I witnessed one of them jump maybe 3 blocks down and off himself. I checked my last two villagers and they were each on one or two hearts left. We almost lost every single villager on the server.

To get villagers to breed and make baby villagers you need beds, which we already have, and food. I gave my guys some food and they started making baby villagers immediately, crisis averted as we start to get the first few fresh full health villagers on the server.

I just made it past 100% in my main hollow knight run, so now I will allow myself to get silksong when it comes out. I did this with a little bit of YT guidance, but mostly just figuring it out. I only just discovered the ⭐ ReznoRMichael hollow-knight-completion-check which got me an extra 2% for a few items I must have got and not saved on, because I was sure I had them.

Hollow Knight is a game that can be played with keyboard or controller, You can use analog stick for movements, but they just translate to dpad, there really are no analog moves in the game. This makes it ripe for playing on pure keyboard. I really favor controller when there are more than one analog (throttle, brake, steering for example).

On controller I’ve switched to only using d-pad as I feel like it gives me the most crisp of controls. It is really easy to miss a pogo on analog by hitting slightly left or right.

Previously THPS 1 Skate Park Gaps

Previously THPS 1 Mall Gaps Next THPS 1 Downtown Gaps

On the road to Gap Master achievement I got all School Gaps in THPS1. This is a super fun level, I’ll have to admit that I had to look up at least a quarter of them, and could not find them myself, mostly due to the naming, all of the rail tricks were actually ledges and I was looking for big rails. None of the warehouse gaps were manuals so I had no idea that the downhill and accross the gym would be manual tricks.

Previously THPS 1 Warehouse Gaps next THPS 1 Mall Gaps

This is one of the most memorable levels for me in THPS1 from when I had originally played it. Surprisingly there aren’t as many gaps in it as I thought there would be, there are definitely a lot that you can make up on your own. Anyways here’s my playthrough of all the mall gaps in THPS1 on my way to gap master.

Previously THPS 1 School Gaps Next THPS 1 Skate Park Gaps

On the road to Gap Master achievement I got all Warehouse Gaps in THPS1. This is this classic warehouse level that everyone thinks of when THPS is mentioned. Such a good level, compact, easy to play, with some fun gaps that might take a few tries to hit.

Next up THPS 1 School Gaps

Wyatt is also documenting his run, while we aren’t playing in the same world we are playing together.

I always select the character Woodie. He comes with an axe called Lucy she has some dark humor (but not too dark), I like her. She also does not wear out so you always have a weapon and way to chop wood with you.

Tonight my son and I played rounds, I pulled clips of all the final rounds of each set of rounds. We play hardly any games with guns in them, this is one of the few exceptions, it feels quite whimsical, fun, and strategic, and not at all realistic or first person. The strategy part really brings me back to the fps games I would play with friends in my teens.

I thought I had him on this one. I had this rare power up that allows me to shot through walls. It came down to the very last round and he had too much firepowerfor me.

The final round of round 2 was Super fast. I felt like I nerfed my homing power up by adding fastball to it and it didn’t really home in anymore. What made it so quick, I think he had glass cannon and I laid down two well placed shots.

My son and I are starting a new Minecraft server today called wondercraft.

We are running a few mods on this server notably FTB Ultimine for less grindy resource gathering, Sodium for shaders, and Universal Shops.

We are runninng on Minecraft 1.20.1, I think this is because it was the latest supported by Universal Shops, its at least one major release old at this point.
