For October, we had our 3rd Theme Challenge! It was based on Autumn Season! OhNoWhy toke a more mixed approach of Autumn and Halloween with the Creeper wearing a pumpkin! Also, Steve fighting with Skeleton! It's a masterpiece of what Autumn would look like in Minecraft! Did I tell you that they won the Challenge?

Lets review, one of Minecraft Amino Community's featured posts: 'Cottage in the Plains' by the author Stardust_Lemon.  You should give this attention because you can draw inspiration, or simply enjoy another's creation, to any reason on what brought you here, let's get started.

From what we've been told, I do have to agree about the build "turning out well" and "didn't do that bad" from the mentioned lack of experience and unease to reach the look he/she was going for. Though the build manages to pull off a popping contrast from top to bottom (white concrete and stripped log (oak) to a dark prismarine and dark oak planks), personally (it could be by the lighting or some other reason) it didn't quite reach the real good and obvious contrast of the roof to the base/lower floors that I usually tend to like on the cottage look but that's just me.

How about you? Do you agree with me or are you ready to drown me with replies for having such a distorted taste on architecture? Decide which side you want to lean on by first giving the post a check first by tapping here

The bee update snapshots have been released for the update for 1.15, a lot of players have been buzzing about it! Now we have a lot of awesome art in this update! An example is from the featured feed by the amazing artist HellxDo with their amazing Bee art!

I really like how they did it, and of course the little details on the bee and the grass! Especially they did this in AutoDesk Sketchbook! They said it took approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, so why won't you give them some love because of it?

Bees in Minecraft are very adorable indeed, but when provoked they will attack you and give you a poison effect! So be careful around them! They are cute but dangerous!

Lets review, one of Minecraft Amino Community's featured blogs: Inktober day 3, but its Minecraft by OliveKS. Curious to see how Minecraft and art events work, or just interested in how good and far people are doing with their own journey? Tap here  to check out the artwork!

The artwork is good and worth checking out. It’s monochrome which means no colors were included except white and black. The art style is leaning towards realistic instead of cartoon due to the pig, sheep, player's appearances. The mountains are in the background in bordered (not filled) silhouette. The ground is detailed containing grass, flowers, and rock(s) and shaded and a tree's trunk on the top-right corner with two wooly sheep.

The mentioned art event: Inktober is interesting as its October and artists are already on their on-going work to post daily with new exciting prompts. Art events mixing with Minecraft & MCA is always awesome and fun because it brings out artists like OliveKS to present their work while participating in a fun challenge for everyone.

What if Elsa and Stray got shipped? Well hec no, that isn't happening… but Unsafe Voodoo happened to make a Stray wear Elsa's (from Disney's Frozen) clothes! Isn't that Beautiful! This art is an entry for HereIsATreat Challenge, and it's inspired by icy biomes and she wonders around the glamorous wintry nights! Voodoo's friend called this combo Straylsa, but you decide the ship name for this one, but before you do that, you should check out the post by tapping here

Mineshafts seem a bit bland especially new updates are coming around, so why won't s spice it up a bit?

This build is an entry for the challenge that Sye made recently, the build has an interesting design!

It really shows how abandoned and used it was, and how it would actually look like if it was added in Minecraft. In this post, it showed us a wonderful abandoned mineshaft tour. It expanded rather than having the 3x3 hallways in vanilla Minecraft.

Mumbo Jumbo did one of these kinds of videos, and I gotta it that mine shafts need an upgrade.

The mineshaft was really well built by the , Cat Army! Check the post over here!

Lets review, one of Minecraft Amino Community's featured posts: Iron Golem :rose: by the artist Honey'nMilk. This art has a unique art style, check it out and see if you can adapt/find your own style or replicate this one to shake things up on your art skills.

The art itself is really great! The art style of the drawing of the Iron Golem really made it less of an intimidating pile of iron but into a clueless and precious baby big boy. The material variation on the colors works and compliments each other which only pop and coordinate with the other colors, from markers to watercolor paint with no ease. Even though the coloring of the art piece can be better (as it goes off the side a bit and etc), that is a minor and something that doesn't really put down the image of the art way too much, just when you're looking for it (like me).

Why not check the post out yourself? Take some tap here to check it out!

Modern houses have always been something that intrigued and was fascinated by because of how limited and plain-looking the structure and color scheme is. I never thought I-d see a post making jokes about it. It's also generally just some opinions about the style itself so why not just check it out, even though you don't build in that style or just curious into what the heck I'm talking about.

Our amazing building committee build one amazing city! Over 8 Robots… I mean Humans built this gigantic city. Riley, Boefin, DatOneGuy, MAX, Matub, Captain and Sheep 83… and of course, I didn't forget about the Building Committee's epic leader Weird Unicorn who lead the project which has taken an undefined amount of time because even they don't know!

The build has neon and sci-fi buildings which span over 400 blocks! It even has vehicles and flying objects. They worked 24/7 (kinda) to give inspiration to builders big and small, and hence you should definitely check it out by tapping here

Lets review, one of Minecraft Amino Community's featured blogs: Cruise ship by TripledogMLG. Feeling a little stationery or need to get that grasp of what your build project or whatever you're working that’s considered big. Take a peek on what TripledogMLG's been doing for some time for just a second by tapping here

The effort put into this really shows as he states that he has "been working on this for a very long time". Due to the size and the personal opinion of liking how turned out shows how ambitious and thought-through this build was. As much as it might seem finished, it is revealed that the outside was not entirely done and the interior being done is the next big objective. The things he announces that are done are: "the theatre and one deck of rooms. the main dining room, the promenade, and the laser tag, yes laser tag, are started and I’ve marked out most of the sections like the casino, the ice skating rink, all the clubs, and bars, etc.". Lastly, the official measurements are: 371 blocks, 73 wide, 100 (max) high and were aimed/is to 1:1 scale, though that one is open for us to think.

The blog is definitely something worth checking out and really represents the extent of creativity and dedication people really pour into things like this and its not always negative. Well, these types of blogs can have flaws in them but so can everything!

The Minecraft Nether Update has been announced at Minecon 2019 and people were pretty excited! I mean, who wouldn't be? The Nether deserved some new additions!

One of those additions is the Piglin! A new mob that hates both the player (unless they're bling-ed out in gold) and wither skeletons. Out there is one amazing fan art of this new mob that just made it that much scarier!

The artwork, made by Nevvu Ender, just captures the scary aura of the Piglin! The lifeless eyes, bloodstains on the sword, it shows that they're not here to joke around. If you want to check out the full post, tap here and show the artist some well-deserved love!

For the MCAdvent series of posts, Octo made a challenge to revamp the witch huts into whatever you want. Like making it more extravagant or more daunting. Ashtin's entry is an interesting take on the challenge (even though it doesn't really count as an entry since the challenge ended a while ago) but that doesn't stop ideas to still be shared and loved.

What are your opinions on it? Check out the post by tapping here for yourself and comment in there on what your thoughts are.

The collection of Important Links for MCA was amazing! But in 2019 it has become old and it needed to be changed! One by one, the Leaders are changing the look and feel of MCA and making it better!

Rumors have spread about a new exciting thing coming to MCA! A thing which was introduced in 2019's Summer but was never implemented because of Team Amino problems… but they probably fixed it and it's ready to roll!

We got a glimpse of its branding, a golden MCA logo… and what they have in store for us is exciting! They are planning to release it sometime in November! So stay tuned as even I don't know what it is? But I know there are some exciting features coming with it! :0

When Honey Blocks came to Minecraft, Redstone Engineers found that they sure slow down items when they fall down, but they stick to Slime Blocks!!?

After making a ton of attention by suggesting on Minecraft Forums, YouTube and even change.org! over thousands of views, votes and petition sign in later... Mojang removed the property of Honey Blocks sticking to Slime Blocks. Just wait and watch how many new Redstone and parkour designs are going to flood the internet! Mumbo is going to go nuts XD
