Activity Type: #1 Rideout
Duration: Around 90 minutes
Participants: @blizzard | @BurakO | @Velo | @Yoko | @Latinoo | @mystic | @Shadow | @Killer | @Niklaus
Information about the activity: This was our first ever activity that we've made. We started off the cruise at LS docks where our meeting point was. Cruised thru LV and eventually got onto the SF Bridge where we had a drag race. After that was done, we headed back to the docks thru Whetstone.

First ever car meet and ride has been done! We honestly expected less people to show up but instead there were quite a bit, at least 8-10 cars at some point! We will start doing these more frequently and not to mention, we're still accepting people into the group so if you're interested, become one of us as apply thru our discord.
Don’t be scared off from Minecraft! Immersion in the world of Minecraft can have wonderful, meaningful benefits for kids. Here are 7 key skills that can be developed by playing Minecraft:
Creativity
Minecraft is basically a massive blank canvas for your imagination. You can explore colossal interconnected caves, take on crazy challenges, or build mind-bending works of architectural genius. Anything is possible — seriously.
Problem-solving
To start building in Minecraft, you have to overcome all kinds of environmental challenges — finding resources, figuring out how to craft tools, gathering food, constructing shelter from enemies in the night. And the process of building presents all sorts of logistical and creative challenges as well.
Math and engineering
Building structures in Minecraft, no matter how crazy they are, teaches basic lessons in architecture, engineering, and geometry. Advanced Minecrafters can even practice electrical and computer engineering with the element redstone.
Focus
Realizing your grand ambitions in Minecraft takes dedication and focus. The bigger the build, the longer you need to keep at it and work step-by-step. Some projects can take hours or days to complete.
Planning
In Minecraft, you start with nothing, which means you need to plan ahead in order to build toward something bigger. Minecrafters have to carefully set goals, watch tutorials, collect and manage resources, craft tools, and build step-by-step.
Teamwork
There is a huge society of Minecrafters online, with multiplayer servers and maps and enormous Twitch and Reddit communities. Part of playing Minecraft can mean hanging out with these fellow players and collaborating on modifications, maps, artwork, and more.
Confidence
Minecraft drops you into the wilderness without instructions, then leaves you to explore on your own. There are threats and challenges, but there’s also a great sense of freedom and experimentation. Kids (and adults) can make mistakes, then learn and grow from them.
Like in real life, hunger is a critical factor for survivability in the game of Minecraft. Players can satisfy their hunger through finding items to eat (like apples) or by crafting simple foods like bread, cakes, or even cookies. Baking wheat-based food items are a common route taken by most players as collecting wheat is an activity any player can take on, even with little resources. Like flour in real life, bread, cake, and cookies items all require wheat as a main ingredient.
Getting Wheat for Baking Goods
Many Minecraft players begin a wheat farm on their first or second day. As on most farms, growing wheat can be time-consuming, and can require automation using recipes, like a hopper for automatically harvesting wheat into a chest. Wheat is also extremely useful in breeding cows and mooshrooms, as well as other animals in the game, which supply a significant amount of food. This is a recommended strategy as wheat is a useful resource in Minecraft.
Seeds are abundant in most biomes, and seeds can be obtained by breaking weeds you find throughout the biome. However, you need a light source — simply the sun supplemented with torches. Also as in real life, wheat grows best when given bonemeal to act as a fertilizer.
Now that you know how to collect the main ingredient of cakes, cookies, and bread in Minecraft, it’s time to explore the individual recipes and crafting process for each food item.
Making bread
Bread is a food item that can be eaten by players in Minecraft to restore hunger points and saturation. It is one of the easiest and most common food sources that is created early in the game because the recipe to make bread only requires 3 wheat stalks.
While acquiring the wheat ingredients requires farming, which can be tedious, it also ensures that the player is less vulnerable to the other dangers of the environment in early game-play. For example, it’s much safer for new players to build wheat farms and craft bread as their main food source until they become more powerful to explore the realm.
The other great thing about crafting bread is that no furnace or fuel is required to “bake” the bread. All you need is the 3×3 crafting grid which is made available in your inventory after you have successfully made a crafting table.
To make bread in Minecraft, place 3 wheat stalks in your crafting grid. These items must be placed in a horizontal row as seen below.
increasingly, players are turning to mushrooms (turned into stew) and carrots as a food source rather than bread and using wheat in other ways. But, if you have a wheat farm setup for recurring harvests, make as much bread as you want. Also, bread can be found in chests or can be obtained by trading with village farmers.
How to Make a Cake
Unlike other food items that are consumed when held, cake is a block that is eaten when placed. Each cake consists of six slices, which can be consumed by a single player or a group (as in a real-life celebration). If a single player eats only part of the cake, that player cannot pick up the remaining cake but can return to eat it later.
Because cake has multiple slices, it can restore up to 6 Hunger bars (1 bar per slice) but has a low saturation score (so you become hungry again quickly). Cake can also be used as mounting for a TNT cannon.
The biggest drawback to making cake is the complexity of the recipe. Before you can make a cake, you need to gather all of the ingredients including:
Craft 3 milk buckets.
Craft sugar.
Collect wheat and an egg.
To make a cake in Minecraft, place 3 buckets of milk placed on the top row, a sugar-egg-sugar configuration for the second row, and 3 wheat stalks on the bottom row as seen below. After you complete the recipe, the buckets return to the inventory.
How to Bake Cookies
Cookies require cocoa beans, which can be found in dungeon chests, which, in turn, are most commonly found in the jungle biomes, or on jungle trees. In a jungle biome, harvesting cocoa beans is easy, and crafting cookies is more advantageous than bread.
The total hunger points for cookies is higher (per number of wheat stalks used), but because the saturation is lower, you need to eat more often. Many players consider cookies to be more of a rare treat and a novelty item than a long-term food source.
Cocoa beans can also be farmed, and mass-produced like other crops using jungle logs as the “soil.”
To make cookies in Minecraft, place 2 stalks of wheat on either side of a cocoa bean in a horizontal row resulting in wheat – cocoa bean – what configuration. With the following cookie recipe in place, a player will receive a total of 8 cookies, which can be stacked in your inventory.
