Day 775: a camera? of sorts?

Sometimes you need a project that’s just for, y’know, goofing around. This is the ongoing saga of my Minecraft character. For lack of a better title, we’re going with “One Among the Dead”. 

Day 775:

I was attacked by one of those odd people with the bald heads and the purple cloaks. They got away, but they dropped a strange rock. It was sort of gem-like, with two facet-like sides that made it look like it would be a decent paperweight for the cave.

(Can I call it “the office” if it’s got a bunch of paperwork-like stuff in it but it’s made of stone and the paper in question is mashed bamboo?)

Anyway, didn’t think anything of it until the sun hit one of the shiny facet surfaces and a light beam shot out of the other faceted side similar to a crystal prism… but this time it etched the view that was coming in the sunny side onto the table.

Which involved a bit of smoke and drama but we’re not going there right now.

So apparently the purple people have cameras? At least they do as long as they also have something to etch the image onto that isn’t, say, a large dark oak table? That now has a picture of a large dark oak table on it?

I aimed it at a different place in my room and here’s what I got.

A photograph of sorts, of one of my chests, a furnace, and a worktable.

So that’s a thing.

It does take a long time, like at least 2 minutes, so it’s not nearly as convenient as actual photography… but still, hey, I can finally include some pictures of this place instead of just descriptions.
