Hello Guys n Girls,So I've been mulling over my idea for the new season of HermitCraft and wanted to run it by you all and get your feedback. Also wanted to pick your collective brains to see if I've missed anything.My idea is to have a museum for "All the things", having in mind the "X all the things" meme as found here http://memegenerator.net/X-All-The-Things. It may even have a pixel art on the mountain side of that little fellow, although I've never made a pixel art in my life!This is how I imagine the museum. Each floor would be dedicated to a certain group of items from Minecraft. Wooden items, Food, Banners, Flora & Fauna, Armour, Weapons, Mobs, etc etc, you get the idea.Anything and everything you can collect, pick up or move in Minecraft 1.8 I want to collect it. Each item or thing would be on a small pedestal (yet to be designed) and each floor or room would have it's own unique theme (yet to be thought of) maybe linked into the items/things it contains.I think this idea would help me to explore and collect, design and build and the final result would be pretty outstanding (I think so anyway!!).I do need to sit down and plan this out some more, size of rooms needed, how to group the items. I may do things like design auto potion machines for each potion (big job), auto breeders for each animal (not too big a job!) rather than just collect them, we will see.So what do you think? Can you foresee any problems or pitfalls or things I need to consider before I head down this course?. I'm really excited for Season 3 of HermitCraft and wanted to try and involve you all too in my planning process as there are so many great builders and Minecraft players here. Once we get going I would be happy to see any designs or ideas you have too.Anyway that's it, this is my idea. Let me know what you think below and thank you for reading!- Biffa :-)

X ALL THE THINGS

Who knew that one of the ways that people would learn algebra is through the use of memes? For a refresher, letters such as X and Y are used to denote numbers that are unknown.

Perhaps a zoo/aquarium as well? The rabbits and the new sea mobs are a big addition.

Just so you know, PaulSoaresJr did this on the Mindcrack servers. He tied a story to it (of course, that's Paul for you) but his goal was to collect everything and leave most of the things in tact. He had donators boxes for items (BDoubleO100 gave him one of each item found in a Jungle Temple, for instance). Now, if it's to collect everything, perhaps you can turn it into a series of achievements? This might take a bit of time, but you could look at collecting at least a stack of each item with a chest/double chest of an item if it doesn't stack. A bit more challenging at first. Thus, a double chest full of speed potions would be an achievement as would a machine that made speed potions. As far as armor (oh, armour for you Brits...heh) and weapons, I would count an enchanted or unenchanted version of the item to be functionally equivalent. However, you should have at least one of each enchantment present. A multi-tiered "museum" would be cool and I'd push for you to build it in as modern a fashion as possible. Each floor could be themed differently but I'd like to see the floors as dioramas of the places you'd find the items in "naturally". So the Nether floor would be built to look like the Nether, complete with glowstone, netherack, lava, etc. Hope that sparks your juices!

Banners would be exceptionally hard, I think, since there's an incredibly large number of possibilities. I think if you got even remotely close to creating all of them, your base would end up lagged out like that time you filled Generikb's base with fenceposts. Another idea would be an armoury exhibit: you could have weapons, armour, and tools with every single kind of enchantment. Of course, you need an art exhibit of all of the paintings with plenty of benches and an espresso bar in the lobby. When I think of museums, I think of the one in Animal Crossing [1]. Lots of different types of rooms, customized to the type of thing it contains. Maybe a greenhouse bio-dome or very ornate sort of building like the Golden Gate Park Conservatory of Flowers [2]. Maybe you could make your auto potion machines and breeding machines part of a sort of guided tour, where each machine is an exhibit, sort of like the Hershey's Chocolate World [3] or an exploratorium. If you go down that road, you might even give away a free potion after your potion machine, for instance, like at the New World of Coke [4] in Atlanta. You could charge lapis as admission to fulfill your enchanting needs. Going back to banners, you might try instead having a banner machine that gives you the dyes and ingredients to make banners. A semi-automated loom, if you will. But one thing that absolutely every single museum needs: a gift shop.

HIYU

It's certainly been done before, but if that's what you want to build? I'd love to see it! ^^

Biffa Plays

They are indeed, this is on my list :-)

Biffa Plays

Some more brilliant ideas, thanks. Will check those links out too :-)

Biffa Plays

Yep, looking forward to getting started on this one and adding my own twist :-)

Leasara

I'd love to see your twist on the museum idea. Personally I think I'd have a bunch of Quartz Column blocks in the entrance hall, each with one of the cheapest blocks on top so it looks like a really simple display. Then in the actual exhibit hall recreate all the biomes, build all the machines, do all the things.

Biffa Plays

Nice idea, can picture that looking pretty nice :-)

HIYU

Ooh I love this idea!

You could use display cases similar to what I have in my Library on the Patreon server. You essentially have a two by three foot print, or 3x3 if you include the back. The centre bottom is a light source, or glass with light underneath it, have inverted steps around that to create a chamfered base, and platform, the middle back block is sold and has an Item frame on it, where you can display the treasure like a nether star, or Fools gold for example, then panes of glass on either side and along the front. Then roof that with stairs the right way up to have the display podule, The beauty is that it can be stretched to either side, by just adding more sections to create display cases, then a sign on the front with the Item Name, desc.

Oh here's a though, in the main side gallery of the Scottish National museum they used to have a full sized Blue whale suspended from the celling, perhaps you could make a replica Mega Guardian (the boss Guardian) and have similar in your animals/anthropology/biology section.
