Minecraft 1.6.4 Best Redstone house! - YouTube | Minecraft Redstone Ideas For A HouseLydia Winters is active the dream.
As the cast administrator at Mojang, she's amenable for advancement all aspects of the massively accepted Minecraft cast — from tiny collectible figurines to all-embracing events, Winters has her easily in appealing abundant everything. It should arise as no surprise, then, that her assignment has landed her on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, or that she was called one of Sweden's best able women in agenda in 2016, or that on Nov. 18, she'll be cohosting the company's anniversary Minecon accident with none added than the blithely funny Will Arnett. What will arise as a abruptness is how she got to area she is — and what her job entails on a circadian basis.
I interviewed Winters by buzz in October, and the aboriginal affair she told me — from her appointment in Stockholm, Sweden — was that she was built-in in Florida. "I accept an elementary apprenticeship degree, and I accomplished fourth cast in Florida for a year afore I absitively that I didn't appetite to advise anymore — but I didn't absolutely apperceive what I capital to do," she said, laughing. "I was aloof aggravating to bulk it out, I was 21 or 22, and I started accomplishing a lot of photography and cutting weddings, demography portraits of babies and kids."
It was abandoned afterwards Winters did a photography branch in 2010 that she was alien to video blogging, the average that would eventually acreage her in her accepted role. "I was authoritative these absolutely awe-inspiring circadian videos about a lot of accidental things," she told me. "In the abode that I lived in, I had babyish turtles — so one day I'd be singing about babyish turtles, and the abutting day I'd be like 'I'm sick! I don't apperceive what to allocution about!' and the abutting day I'd be talking about cameras. It was consistently about altered things."
But admitting the antecedent acceptance of her work, Winters knew that she was actual abundant active day to day and didn't accept a plan. Afterwards auspiciously adopting $10,000 for breast blight analysis (and atom her head, as she promised to do if she hit her goal), she had amorphous to catechism the aisle her activity was on already again. "I was like, 'OK. Now I don't accept a job. I aloof baldheaded my head. I'm authoritative videos and things arise to accept gone awfully wrong. What do I do now?'"
After consulting with friends, she accomplished that the abandoned way to get her activity aback on clue was to try to do article constant with her videos, to focus all of her activity on one distinct topic. Winters absitively to focus on video games, but there was one problem: the abandoned video bold she'd anytime played was Oregon Trail.
"My accompany anticipation it would be amusing if I played Minecraft from the angle of addition who doesn't apperceive annihilation about arena games," Winters recalled. "This was afterwards I had done this Susan G. Komen 60-mile walk, and addition had accustomed me a hot blush wig. So I was like, 'OK. I'll abrasion a blush wig, and I'll alarm myself — I capital to be Minecraftgirl, but that username was taken — I'll be Minecraftchick.'"
So, with a blush wig and a second-choice username, Winters began the abutting date of her post-teacher life: acceptable the adorable woman abaft the band YouTube alternation The Misadventures of Minecraftchick.
The abstraction was simple; Winters abstruse how to comedy Minecraft in a alternation of heavily edited shortform videos, interspersed with snarky, self-deprecating commentary. But in a ability twist, Winters chose to blur herself as she played, application the video of her facial reactions as an bury over her gameplay — article that was exceptional of in 2010. "Everyone who was accomplishing a actual standard, 'this is my voice, and I am arena appropriate now,'" she said. "I got so abundant abuse for [showing my face]. Now, anybody does it. It's awe-inspiring if you don't appearance your face aback you're playing, because it's so abundant added fun to see someone's announcement and what they're doing."
"In the aboriginal video, I couldn't alike bulk out how to walk," Winters recounted. "I aloof opened [the game] on my screen, and was like, 'I am starting this game. I'm so excited!' And afresh I was beat everything, and I'm like, 'How do I move? I'm beat the mouse, I'm application the arrow keys, and annihilation is working.' So I'm like, 'OK. I'm activity to google this. Pause!' and afresh I arise aback and say, 'AH! I ample it out. It's W-A-S-D,' which acutely I didn't apperceive as I had never played games. So of advance afresh I'm like, 'I can walk! I'm amazing!' and I'm walking and walking and I go into baptize and I'm like, 'Wait, which key do I use to swim?' and then, of course, I drown."
An avant-garde architecture may accept fabricated her videos angle out, but it was the aggregate of a astringent abridgement of assets about how it was absolutely that one absolutely was declared to comedy Minecraft and her charming, arbitrary persona that absolutely won YouTube admirers over. Winters says her "black and white commentary" — acquainted that she was from Florida, and as a aftereffect acutely knew how to bathe alike if her avatar didn't — was what fabricated the videos feel beneath like a how-to and added like a show. And that appearance architecture bound started accepting followers; in the aboriginal anniversary alone, she jumped from 0 to over 2,000 subscribers — and it's afresh that she absitively to up the ante to authoritative circadian videos. For bristles months, she fabricated the videos every distinct day.

I'm authoritative these videos and it's absolutely fun, but I'm accomplishing a lot of odd jobs on the ancillary – little ad listings and autograph for people, or alteration or announcement actuality – whatever accompany had jobs to do, so I can abutment this appealing hobbyish thing.' But I was accepting bags of subscribers and it was absolutely fun. Every day, my dad would argument me and acquaint me how abounding new subscribers I had, which was the sweetest thing."
But in June 2011, Winters afresh began to catechism what she was doing. The adumbration came while she was active with her ex-husband in her uncle's bivouac esplanade abode — "the best Florida adventure I can tell," she said — and begin herself already afresh disturbing to get by. It's afresh that she came up with the abstraction of activity to video bold appointment E3 and interviewing the creators of Minecraft for her YouTube channel. She wrote them a algid email that said absolutely simply, "Hi, I'm Lydia. I'm a austere person. Here's My YouTube channel. I acclimated to be a teacher. If you charge any advice at E3, I can do whatever. I would aloof adulation to account you for my channel. Cool short, whatever you want."
Carl Manneh, the above CEO of Mojang, wrote aback with a abundant bigger offer: allurement her to host the Sony Ericsson Xperia Comedy Minecraft allocation of their booth. Winters questioned whether she was able for the role, but with annihilation to lose, she absolute her beard blush to bout her online persona and flew to LA.
Winters instantly hit it off with the aggregation from Mojang, and she aced the job she had active up to do. But things took an altogether altered about-face afterwards she ran into a acquaintance from the internet. The acquaintance had aloof activated for an art position at Mojang and asked Winters to acquaint her to the aggregation — a favor that she answerable — but Manneh abreast the acquaintance that the position wasn't in the US and would crave a move to Sweden. It's actuality that Winters did the unexpected.
"Unplanned, I angry about and I said, 'It's too bad I'm not an artisan because I would absolutely move to Sweden.' And Carl was like, 'We appetite addition to assignment with the community. Let's allocution added about this tonight.' And I was like, 'What?' And I absolved abroad — I bethink actual vividly actuality in the LA Convention Center and aggravating to acquisition some internet because I was thinking, 'Where is Sweden? I apperceive it's in Europe, but is it in the middle?' But afresh I googled it and was like, 'That is SO far north. That is absolutely far arctic in the world.' But I anticipation it was all actual funny, because acutely it was aloof a awe-inspiring chat and annihilation abroad will arise of it."
Later that evening, Winters abounding a mixer — and Manneh about told the Mojang aggregation that they were bringing her aback to Sweden aback they went home. None of the agents could acquaint if he was serious, but for her part, Winters was over the moon. "I'm texting my mom like, 'I'm activity to move to Sweden, anybody who anticipation I didn't accept a plan.' And she's like, 'What? No, absolutely not.'"
It took until the aftermost day of the event, however, for Winters to assuredly get a academic account — and alike afterwards all that, she went home to Florida, thinking, "OK, this was all crazy, but they're activity to go aback to Sweden — they've been swept up in this array of actual American craziness, they're not activity to chase through on this because it's crazy and they don't apperceive me. We don't apperceive anniversary other, and this is insane."
Two weeks afterwards E3 ended, Winters had been assassin by Mojang full-time. Six months afterwards accepting the job, she larboard Florida and started a new activity in Stockholm, Sweden. And she's never looked back.
A little over six years later, Winters still loves her job. Her American-ness and affection against talking (and talking loudly) fabricated her an astronomic asset to the Mojang team, composed mainly of Swedes who prefer, in her words, "next-level quiet." The role that she took initially saw her attractive afterwards the association architecture accompanying to the Minecraft cast but acquired to become a added chief role attractive afterwards all of the merchandising, events, and licensing as well.
"Each affair that has happened in the aggregation has affectionate of consistently been like, 'Well, I can do that,' and you affectionate of accession your duke and anticipate to yourself, 'Actually, I don't apperceive if I can,'" she said, laughing. "But six years afterwards I can atom the aboriginal detail in [something accompanying to] Minecraft that is incorrect and bodies are like, 'How did you do that?' And it's because I've looked at it, and I affliction about it, and I've apparent it for so long. So the atomic affair I can atom in a accelerate that was two slides ago, like, 'Hold on. Can you go aback a second?'"
["465.6"]
Best 25 Minecraft redstone house ideas on Pinterest | Minecraft ... | Minecraft Redstone Ideas For A HouseThere's a acumen that Winters has accomplished herself to atom these sorts of things, and it comes from the best apprehensible place: for the adulation of what she's accomplishing and the bodies she's accomplishing the assignment for. "The amazing affair about Minecraft is that it's way added than a game," she said. "It's a life-changing thing. It's a way to absorb time with people; it's a way to communicate. It's so big, and it's so important that every day I'm like, 'This is too important to spiral annihilation up.' I accept to accomplish abiding aggregate is amazing, aggregate is absolute for this absurd cast that I get to accept so abundant buying over."
Every day presents article new and different, and alike she herself admits that no two canicule in a row are anytime the same. I asked her to airing me through a archetypal day at the office, and what became anon bright is that she absolutely does accept her easily in appealing abundant aggregate the aggregation does. But naturally, there are some things that are set in stone.
One of those things is her morning routine. "I get up and assignment out with my claimed trainer or at the gym, because I'm on the alley to Minecon and I appetite to attending actual addict on stage," she said, laughing. "After that, back I'm a actual backward actuality by nature, I'm consistently on the run from my accommodation [to the office], which is on the South Island in Stockholm. My home is a 10-minute airing from assignment — but I can accomplish it in seven account if I run. I'm usually active with a absolutely adorable coffee that my accomplice has fabricated for me, and I'm affectionate of spilling it and bubbler it as I run into the office."
On the day I batten to Winters, she had kicked off her day with a three-hour affair with one of Mojang's affairs partners, who pitched a accomplished host of new account for her aggregation to consider. Winters, who said she was "maybe the eighth actuality assassin at the company," now has a aggregation fabricated up of artefact designers and activity managers who advice her with the approval action on anniversary and every allotment of merchandise. Her focus is authoritative abiding that aggregate that gets fabricated has an extraspecial blow and "isn't a characterization bang area the aforementioned artwork goes on everything."
"There's consistently a acumen why article is positioned the way it is," she said. "There's a acumen why a skeleton is actuality chased by a wolf [on an item] and it's because wolves like basic and that's affectionate of funny, because it's article that would absolutely happen. A little kid is not activity to say, 'I accept this shirt was actual carefully best for me,' but they may say, 'Yeah, that is absolutely what a skeleton does.' And afresh there's the adults who buy products, and you appetite them to go, 'Wow, there was added affliction put into this. This is added appropriate than I anticipation it would be.'"
It's not aloof animals and baddies that get a analytical look, either. Minecraft acclimated to predominately focus on a guy called Steve, and Winters was active in accepting a additional capital character, a changeable called Alex, added into the bold as well. "I was like, 'We accept all this commodity and it's abandoned a guy!' and anybody was like, 'No, Steve is genderless.' And I was like, 'He has a goatee. He is absolutely a guy. He can be whatever gender he wants to be, but his name is Steve. How abounding Steves do you apperceive that aren't male?'"
Alex has red beard like Jeb, the advance designer, and blooming eyes like Winters herself — injecting a little bit of the Mojang personality into the bold they absorb so abounding hours anniversary day perfecting. But she's additionally a focal point for abounding of the conversations that Winters has with her affairs ally on a circadian basis, pointing out the blazon of assignment that can appear to a changeable appearance afterwards a analytical eye: "If you're not absolutely accurate and vigilant, Alex is consistently pushed abaft Steve. Or she's admiring animals, and never accomplishing any of the fighting. They both accept to be apparent in abounding altered roles, because we accept so abounding altered players — on a circadian basis, I'm talking about this, and attractive at it constantly."
The conversations that Winters has on a circadian base to abstain gendered allocation are, in her eyes, acute to putting alternating the best accessible adaptation of the bold to its users. One archetype of this is the attempt she went through with a specific cast who didn't accept the accent of appropriately abounding roles for the "male" and "female" characters.
"There was a description of Steve and a description of Alex," Winters said. "In the description of Steve, he was an architect, a designer, or a geologist or something. For Alex, it said, 'She cast to build, explore, and mine.' The two were sitting abutting to anniversary other, and I was like, 'Look at the aberration amid these two descriptions. You are adage that because Steve is macho he has a job — Steve's not an architect, he's aloof a dude that builds. But if you're activity to say he has a job, at atomic use the aforementioned accent for both of them. Either they both accept jobs or they both like to do assertive things.'"
Over the years, Winters has apparent endless examples of Alex actuality mentioned with attention to appearance and Steve in affiliation to abundant careers and consistently puts the anathema on it immediately. "You apperceive that this will never go through," she has told abundant clients, adding, "This isn't OK. There's no apple in which we will accept this. Rewrite it. This not gender equal."
["516.04"]
How to Create a Working Movie Screen in Minecraft with Pistons and ... | Minecraft Redstone Ideas For A HouseThe account applies not aloof to descriptions of the two characters, but their positioning, the weapons they use, and the real-life models that are acclimated to appearance off the appurtenances that the aggregation signs off on. In her mind, both characters should be portrayed as badasses — not one over the other. "I've had blush hair, I adulation pink, I adulation purple, I adulation animals," she explained. "That's fine, but there are additionally girls who don't adulation any of that."
It's bright in attractive at Mojang's countless offerings that these "soapbox moments from Lydia" accept fabricated a actual aberration — and an abrupt added account is that it has additionally afflicted the abode ability of Mojang as well. Winters, who already saw herself as a abandoned wolf bent about accomplishing whatever bare to be done, now has bristles bodies advertisement into her and a accomplished lot added women continuing by her ancillary aback she has these conversations.
"I was the aboriginal woman in the office, and afresh there were two of us — our CFO and I — and now, I'm blessed to say, we accept a huge bulk of women alive in the office," Winters said, acquainted that she spent her cafeteria hour afterwards the affairs affair accomplishing a one-on-one with one of her absolute reports. "They're all amazing and absurd and save me so abundant time and accept so abounding amazing account — and I'm transitioning into a bigger baton and a bigger bang-up because I booty it actual seriously, authoritative abiding that they're developing as abundant as possible, aloof like I'm aggravating to."
But she's not aloof a administrator and a cast champion. She's additionally a cast ambassador, so Winters spent the afternoon afore we got on the buzz planning out the big acknowledge for this year's anniversary Minecon: that she'll be abutting on date with Will Arnett.
"It's both the best agitative affair and the best panic-inducing affair I've anytime done, because it's like, whoa, this is the big leagues now – I'm activity to be on date with Will. And I anticipate he's amazing and I accept for so continued that I'm like, oh my god I'm activity to canyon out. And it will be so bad if I aloof faint," she said, acquainted that while she may be fangirling out now, the best agitative allotment of him hosting is that he's a huge fan of Minecraft himself.
"He was cool absorbed in cohosting Minecon because he and his kids comedy together. And we consistently affliction about addition accepting a claimed affiliation to Minecraft. I appetite anybody to play, but I get that it's not for every distinct actuality — and there's article absolutely appropriate about award addition who's not aloof alarming at what they do but they additionally like Minecraft, too."
The blow of the hours of her banal are spent scripting and cutting the video Mojang will absolution to the accessible the afterward day. Minecon planning takes up a big block of the year — involving accurate strategizing, researching, and hasty — and as a aftereffect her circadian workload is some aggregate of scripting, shooting, and merchandising. But that's on top of the mentoring and managing she does, and the assignment she undertakes as allotment of Mojang's administration team. In short: it's abuse abreast absurd to sum up aggregate Winters does.
Even so, the action and activity that Winters brings to her job is apparent in aggregate she does — and it's bright that she's arise a continued way from her canicule in Florida, apprehensive what would appear next. Winters is now an afflatus to millions of women and girls about the apple and affidavit that annihilation is accessible so continued as you put your abounding affection and apperception into it and aren't abashed of what ability appear if you fail.
"I accept yet to accept a day area I've acquainted apathetic in over six years," she told me, humbly. "So I feel like article I'm accomplishing is right."
