All the ones I've seen had swords. Of course that wasn't that many because we took out the Evokers with bows from a distance. Our first mansion was kind of lame. Lots of those sappling rooms. The second one had hidden rooms, one of which had the diamond block surrounded by lava. It also appears to have a room I can only describe as some kind of fight ring with a viewing balcony above. There isn't much loot, but look up high. We found chests up on ledges.
Did a little research. Turns out the illagers spawn at the creation of the mansion and do not despawn or respawn. This would suggest that once defeated, they won't come back.
Anyone who does this, can you tell me if lighting the place up stops the hostile mobs spawning? Or put down more carpet? The first time I saw the mansion, I thought it would be a cool place to take over and set up shop. But first, I'm trying to find some llamas.
Radabon's suggestion really is pretty simple. Your other option is to do what I did. I used sand to separate the water around them temple into manageable sections and drained them using sponges. Then I mined the entire monument and built a farm from cobblestone. I think it took me about a month and a half of play time to finish it. Don't be like me. Of course while I did all that, I did build a small farm to work while I was working. Then I didn't have to worry about food because I had lots of fish.
Describe your personality or attitude: Laid back and contrary to the handle, I'm extremely trustworthy
What do you enjoy the most about minecraft: All the possibilities.
What skills can you bring to the realm: I'm not sure that I have a particular skill set. But I do have a stick-to-it-ness. Draining and tearing down an ocean monument (alone) was mind-numbing work, but I finished it. I do know that I'm terrible with redstone.
Why do you invest time into Minecraft: I find it relaxing. I'm a full time single mom to a 2 and 4 year old and I have about a year left of school to get my BS in accounting. So I don't have a ton of time to play every week, but I am the kind of player that will stick with something for the long haul. I will also kind of binge-play during school breaks. I actually started a Realm last year and envisioned a kind of community collaboration, but I had a really hard time finding players with that mind set. I'm the kind of player who will run out and gather resources for another person's build so they don't have to stop what they're doing. I'm not sure about the shop thing, cause I tend to just share....a lot.
Check inside the buildings for sufficient lighting too. One of the early villages that I built a wall around and lit up got decimated because I forgot to light up the INSIDE one of their buildings. I came to find that instead of villagers in the house, I had a couple zombies. Sad, sad, sad day.
Sharpe 103, I'm not sure how you aren't plagued by these traps. Sister and I get an average of three per thunder storm. We have managed to get a couple good horses, but at this point we have taken to just shooting at the trap from afar so that we don't spring it. And the horses we did keep are very glitchy. They disappear and reappear in places all the time.
Found two zombie spawners that were fairly close together and combined them into one XP farm. However, it seems they aren't close enough to activate both spawners at the same time. It is on a Realm though, so sister and I can probably get both of them going at the same time. Can't wait to try it out.
Yes, I'm fully aware. In another build I had a carpet and seating area in front of a fireplace...While I wasn't looking the carpet caught and then burned half of my sofa type thing.
Today while looting glowstone from the nether I happened upon a fortress we hadn't found before. I also killed a ghast with my sword for the first time ever. He spawned in a spot where he couldn't float away. Poor sucker didn't stand a chance. He even had the courtesy to drop a tear for me.
Been trying out the Elytra I recently obtained fom The End. I decided to build two simple "Launch & Landing" towers, one at my current base, the other just over a 1000 blocks away in a swamp biome where i'm intending to mine clay. Each tower has a launch pad (green, at the top) and a lower down red pad for landing from the other tower. According to the wiki, the Elytra's optimum flight is roughly 10 blocks travel for every 1 descent, so i built the landing pad at y =92 and the launch pad at y=200 (the highest i've ever been) so i could have an uninterrupted flight over any high areas. Worked well apart from the fact I didnt have enough margin of error in my descent calcs (optimum means holding a 0 deg elevation virtually all the way) so in the end I increased the Launch pad to y=210, and now i can make it quite easily. A novel way to get around, but without any climb capabilities, a bit impractical over long distances without some sort of tower network ... powered elytra! Thats what we need!

Went to Minecon. Now I'm tired. So tired.

I also suggest starting with people you know in real life. I play with my sister.

Starting to make some progress on the first floor in terms of decorations. For lighting we are going with FIRE!

Instead of a landing pad, how about a runway?
