If I were to design/create an update for Minecraft I would make it so you are able to ride the dragons, this will allow players to get around their Minecraft world in a more swift way and also attack mobs when riding at night. Although there are mods that allow this to happen, I would like to make it an actual thing in the game so everyone is able to do it since younger children may not know how to get mods for Minecraft. Along with this idea, i would add different types of dragons such as: Fire dragons, Water dragons, Lighting dragons, Ice dragons, Earth dragons. They will spawn in certain biomes for example the fire dragons would spawn near lava, Lightning dragons will spawn in stormy weather  etc. To actually ride the dragons, you will need to of course tame them first and then create a mount to then ride them. Once you are able to ride the dragon, you can then perform their attack by pressing a certain button depending on what device you are playing on. Although you are no...

Minecraft is a survival based game where the player must survive against the monsters that spawn each night. Building a home for yourself anywhere in the world you have entered, the player now has to venture far and wide to survive and conquer unknown lands, travelling to different biomes and encountering different mobs along the way. Minecraft is a game where in you can do about anything from living in a survival to a creative world of just building anything you like, you can even join other players in multiple servers that host minigames and much more. Game Controls The game mechanics of Minecraft is fairly easy for ages all around. With its basic arrow keys to move and its single button to jump along with its touch screen feature that allows players to directly place blocks and attack in the exact location they want. However these controls can be customized to fit the players needs. Controls for those who are playing on consoles or PC are still fairly easy and can still be adjus...

Character model Here is a 3D model of  my character I made in blender. I started off by getting a cube and making it into more of a rectangular shape to form the body of the character. I then started to create buttons and put the into place. Most of them were pretty easy to make since they were circular however I did use a reference image for the D pad button just to make it more precise and easier to model. Here is a close up of the hands i modelled. I followed a YouTube tutorial on how to create the fingers. I firstly got a cube and scaled it down to a more rectangular shape. After that i then used the loop cut tool twice which then split it into 3. I then extruded the individual faces out a bit and used the subdivision surface modifier which then made the fingers. Once I was happy with the model I then went on to add colour to it Here is my character with colour. I decided to go with the red colour scheme but change the button arrangements. I used blender to add colour...

  Here is a small mood board of my first ideas for a character. I would have made a character inspired by one of these characters.  This is a mood board based on the final ideas for my character. I will be making a character inspired by BMO from adventure time. I will be changing things such as the colour and button arrangements to make it look different from the original  BMO.

 Shot List  Here is my shot list. This gives information on what order the shots will be filmed in and things such as shot types, angles, shot length and shot description. Like the story board, this will be useful to follow when recording and will give that extra guidance for everyone involved if needed. A shot list is essentially a check list filled with details that will give the film a sense of direction.
