	Slioch Croft is the homestead ~~residence for me,~~ {{Player\|Donmn}}. It ~~features~~ a relatively low profile on the surface: a small log cabin and some simple farms but ~~opens~~ up underground with extensive mining, farming, storage and trading areas. It is named after a beautiful mountain in the Scottish Highlands. ~~Recently it~~ came under attack by a large dragon following a rash attempt by locals to steal one of its eggs.		Slioch Croft was the homestead of {{Player\|Donmn}}. It featured a relatively low profile on the surface: a small log cabin and some simple farms, but opened up underground with extensive mining, farming, storage and trading areas. It was named after a beautiful mountain in the Scottish Highlands. Further into the bases construction, Slioch Croft came under attack by a large dragon, following a rash attempt by locals to steal one of its eggs.

	===A simple start===		===A simple start===
	Following a rather frantic first few days on Beagle (including my first death to a trident wielding drowned, 15 blocks out of Camp Beagle), I eventually discovered ~~the beautiful~~ cove that was to become Slioch Croft. Previously unknown to the Beagle population, it was tranquil place where the bees roamed freely, the turtles and dolphins played and pirate treasure was unlooted. The log cabin went up first ~~(my goto Keralis design)~~, followed by crops and a bit of mining.

Previously unknown to the Beagle population, it was a tranquil place where the bees roamed freely, the turtles and dolphins played and pirate treasure was unlooted. The log cabin, a design by {{Player\|Keralis}}, went up first, followed by crops and a bit of mining.

	===Home sweet home===		===Home sweet home===
	My needs ~~are~~ simple ~~but~~ over time the area ~~has grown~~ into a productive plot ~~where the emphasis is~~ function over beauty. A simple 9x9 crop field built on the first day still ~~provides~~ all the wheat, carrots and potatoes for the croft. Small enclosures for sheep, cows, chickens and rabbits ~~ensure you always feel you are on~~ a farm. A small turtle aquarium ~~provides~~ turtle eggs. Chance discoveries from around Beagle and the Mall ~~see~~ all tree types and chorus growing around and about. The first automated farm was a pumpkin and melon farm ~~recently joined~~ by wool and honey equivalents. Underground, following some significant mining activities, a villager trading hall, iron farm, kelp farm, mob farm, storage room ~~have been setup~~ around a lucky slime chunk. A cave spider spawner ~~is the only spawner that has been discovered which has been~~ turned into a grinder for string and wither roses.		While ''Donmn'''s needs were simple, over time the area grew into a productive plot which emphasised function over beauty. A simple 9x9 crop field built on the first day still provided all the wheat, carrots and potatoes for the croft. Small enclosures for sheep, cows, chickens and rabbits ensured a farm-like feeling. A small turtle aquarium supplied turtle eggs. Chance discoveries from around Beagle and the Mall provided all tree types and chorus plants which growing around and about. The first automated farm was a pumpkin and melon farm, followed later by wool and honey equivalents. Underground, following some significant mining activities, a villager trading hall, iron farm, kelp farm, mob farm, storage room were set up around a lucky slime chunk. A cave spider spawner was turned into a grinder for string and wither roses.

	In ~~Dec~~ 2020, in the midst of a COVID lockdown, I made the decision to start an Omega challenge and the Dragon project was born. Fascinated by 3D modelling ~~I started down the road of learning~~ how to get a 3D model into Minecraft. ~~I started~~ with a DAZ3D dragon model~~, then~~ with the help of WorldEdit, BinVox, Litematica, hours ~~of browsing~~ Reddit and ~~YouTube~~, a large stone dragon loomed ~~out of my~~ creative world. Unfortunately despite its size, roughly 256x256x170, the ~~models~~ wings were too ~~thin~~ to voxelise and had to be filled in by eye. With a basic body and wings in place, I started the ~~process of transposing it~~ to Beagle, block by block. ~~I mean how hard could it be?~~		In December 2020, in the midst of a COVID lockdown, ''Donmn'' made the decision to start an Omega challenge and the Dragon project was born. Fascinated by 3D modelling, they began to learn how to get a 3D model into Minecraft. The start was made with a DAZ3D dragon model and with the help of WorldEdit, BinVox, Litematica and hours spent on Reddit and Youtube, a large stone dragon loomed over their creative world. Unfortunately, despite its size (roughly 256x256x170), the model's wings were too thing to voxelise and had to be filled in by eye. With a basic body and wings in place, ''Donmn'' started transposing the build to Beagle, block by block.

	~~Oh Boy! What an undertaking. Just it’s~~ sheer size, the resources required and challenges provided by survival made it overwhelming ~~at first~~ which was ~~then compounded~~ by a decision to change it from a simple sculpture to trying to make it look ~~alive… However~~, following ~~some~~ long resource gathering and working out ~~some~~ techniques ~~to build it~~ in survival, the beast started to take shape. In ~~Feb~~ 2021 the main body of the ~~Dragon~~ was completed in ~~Netherrack~~ with a pair of fully textured wings.		The sheer size of the structure, the resources required and the challenges provided by playing in survival made this undertaking and overwhelming task, which was elevated by the decision to change it from a simple sculpture to trying to make it look alive. But eventually, following long resource gathering sessions and working out the best techniques for building the dragon in survival, the beast started to take shape. In February 2021 the main body of the dragon was completed in netherrack, with a pair of fully textured wings done as well.

	The next steps ~~are to fully texture~~ the body~~. A~~ lighter belly, some claws, texturing the skin and tackling the head (teeth, eyes, fire ~~etc~~). ~~After that, building~~ it into the landscape ~~with~~ a story around ~~it of destruction~~ and ~~power… Watch this space!~~		The next steps were the full texturing of the body, which included a lighter belly, some claws, texturing the skin and tackling the head (teeth, eyes, fire). This process was followed by terraforming around the structure to fit it into the landscape and drafting a story around the dragons power and destructive might.
