Howdy, y’all! Joe Hills here writing as I always do in Nashville, TN!
My upcoming Lasertag arena is going to need a ton of coal blocks, so I spent most of tonight’s grind and read stream creating a stack-high wall of coal ore as wide as the shop itself.
Since I’m planning to create a neat time-lapse of placing and harvesting all this coal, I decided to place the wall just above the word “Hello” so I could have that in-frame for my render.
Since the Haste II beacon for the arena dig was at the bottom of the name tag, and the wall was at the top, my work area for the coal harvest turned out to be just out of range.
Moving that beacon underground to improve the look of the bunker entrance and widening it to accommodate additional effects had always been in my queue for this project, but this immediate need bumped it to the top of my queue. I centered myself on the top of the name tag, and dug straight down until I found a perfect spot for it in a tunnel just above the deepslate level.
After that side-track with the beacon, it was a challenge to harvest each column in a predictably-paced manner that I think should make for a most excellent time-lapse in an upcoming episode.
Regarding the reading, I was able to complete those repetitive tasks while reading aloud chapters 73–77 of Moby Dick. The VOD is available below if you’d like to hear:

Until next time, y’all, this is Joe Hills from Nashville, TN.
Keep adventuring!
