Meet the Players – thatjab

It’s been ages between these, but we’ve got a new submission! If you’re a LC player and want to do one, use the ticket option on the LC Discord.

How long have you been playing Minecraft?

Back in 2016 I begged my parents to get me Minecraft on my iPad, and I’ve been playing ever since!

What made you start playing Minecraft?

Minecraft was actually pretty popular at my school, so I felt like I was missing out. I also watched Minecraft YouTube at the time. Unspeakable Gaming was actually how I learnt to craft basic tools.

What type of Minecraft player are you?

We use the following list – based off Mumbo Jumbo’s video – 20 Different Types of Minecraft Player, with a couple of modifications.

The Gadget Guy (loves making little redstone contraptions around their base to make life easier)
The Resource Hoarder (everything gets stored in piles and piles of chests, even if they don’t need them)
The Monument Builder (they always have to have the biggest build on the server)
The Autofarmer (farms have to have pistons, daylight detectors, the works)
The Explorer (no set base, everything they have is in their inventory. They just walk)
The Subterranean Hermits (their entire base must be underground)
The Artist (all the pixel art!)
The Competitors (minigames is their jam – PvP, Spleef, Parkour, all that)
The Code Wizards (whether it’s command blocks or crazy complex redstone)
The Mod Fans (Vanilla Minecraft? Nah – bring on the mods and plugins)
The Medieval Builders (villages, ships, the lot)
The Modern Architect (modern houses, modern resource packs, lots of concrete)
The Challenge Fan (Skyblock, Survival SuperFlat, Hardcore Mode – bring on the challenges)
The Long Gamers (using the same world since 1.8 or before – such dedication)
The Minimalist (a simple house and a few farms will do fine)

Despite not being a great Minecraft player, I think I’m the Challenge Fan! I love playing game modes like OneBlock and SkyBlock, though I do love regular survival.

Do you start a world the same way every time, or mix it up?

In the early game, I start mostly the same – Getting tools, building a starter base, but in late game, I think its always good to have some variety.

What’s your favourite ever build you’ve created?

My favourite build has got to be the skyscraper I made with my cousin in year 4. It was so tall! It was such a shame when it burned down…

How many times have you beaten the EnderDragon?

To be honest, only once! Beating the dragon seems like such a big challenge to me, so I’m glad I’ve done it before.

What does your LC base look like? What are some of it’s features?

I have two bases in 1.20 – my old cherry blossom cottage, and an underground base.

My cottage has the basic necessities – enchantment room, bedroom, storage room. My underground base is way cooler though, with a big room for storage and smelting! It also has a water elevator that goes straight down to my mine.
