Days 6 & 18 for my Buildtober: Fallen Leaves & Labyrinth

Spooky Season is upon us yet again, minecrafters! This year I’m running another Buildtober with the usual 31 prompts, each representing a day in October. Like last time, these prompts are meant to act as inspiration for builds, so here are some guidelines:

Build something in Minecraft inspired by the prompt for that day, but...

See a prompt you like, even if the date has passed? Build something for it!

See multiple prompts that would be cool combined? Build something for them together!

Don’t like a prompt or can’t come up with anything? Skip it!

Want to start early or late? Start whenever you want, and most importantly, have fun!

In every monthly building challenge I've done, I've taken prompts out of order, started them early or late, combined them, and I have always had a blast! Allowing myself flexibility in these challenges gives me room to get creative. That being said, always do what works best for you!

If you participate, I’d love to check out and reblog your work, so make sure to use the tag #othersides buildtober 2025 - you can even tag me @otherside-wanderer in your posts if you want, too!

Questions? Send me an ask - I don’t bite! 🧛

Below the cut is the list of prompts:

Yahoo!!! No more FANDOM wiki!!! Find the new minecraft wiki at minecraft.wiki!!

I thought it would be good to make a little PSA post with summarised information on why they moved from FANDOM!

Why did they move?

FANDOM is notoriously a bad wiki for both readers and editors alike. This is due to the insane amount of ads, the site layout, the lag, the fact that FANDOM can just take your wiki from you, etc has made the minecraft wiki decide to move

Because of the lack of agency the minecraft wiki has over its own wiki, they had a long discussion and vote with the community on what wiki platform to move towards. You can view both discussions here and here

By moving to a more independent wiki, they can provide a much better and friendlier service.

What's improved with the new wiki?

New site look, lacking the ugly FANDOM yellow sidebar and removing all other unnecessary bloat! This also includes a dark mode option and other custom settings.

Faster load times! I have incredibly good internet, and even I notice the STARK difference between the load times of FANDOM and the official wiki!

Less ads! At the moment they have no ads, but they do intend to have at least one. The placement of which will be discussed with the community to ensure minimal disruption to the user.

Better search functionality! FANDOM's search is notoriously bad at giving you the answers you need. Now they can have a more robust search function that more accurately brings users to what they are looking for.

No age popups- Unlike FANDOM this wiki does not need to know if you're a child or adult.

Anonymous editing has returned! Users can now once again anonymously contribute to the site!

HOWEVER. THE MINECRAFT WIKI NEEDS YOUR HELP!

FANDOM refuses to close old wiki's that have moved away, and so they will continue to show up in search domains. The old domains such as minecraft.gamepedia.com and minecraftwiki.net are also permanently attached to the FANDOM wiki.

In order to help the new wiki be successful, you can help out in the following way:

Spread the word!

Don't interact with FANDOM links. The less people interact with FANDOM, the more google knows that people are looking for the official wiki and not the FANDOM one!

Dont use the old links, again for the same reason as above!

I AM NO LONGER HOMELESS. BUT I'M GETTING FUCKED OVER BY THE GOVERNMENT AND HAVE UNTIL THE 1ST TO MAKE £300 TOWARDS RENT

SO REMINDER THAT MY COMMS ARE OPEN.

SO OPEN. SLUTTILY OPEN. THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE OPEN. SO OPEN THAT THEY'RE GONNA GET DONE FOR PUBLIC INDECENCY!

I HAVE A KOFI.

YOU CAN ORDER COMMS OFF ME THERE, OR YOU CAN MESSAGE ME HERE IF YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING THAT REQUIRES MORE DISCUSSION. YOU COULD ALSO BE VERY LOVELY AND JUST BUY ME A KOFI<3

Ok I'm done yelling, here's my comms sheet, please share, love you and take care🖤🖤🖤

Will you take his eyeblossom?

Here's a big project I've been working on for a few weeks: a phylogenetic tree of everything in Minecraft! It would take ages to explain everything here, so if you want an explaination of any inclusions, exclusions, categorisations or Latin names PLEASE PLEASE PUHLEASE ask me I would love to answer any questions :3

Here's the slides I used to make it since i'm aware the text on the image there is pretty much unreadable.
