Welcome to our second Halloween, themed episode.

Where I will be covering all that you will need to know about the ghasts. I have many theories to read to you all. Sent in from the Minecraft community.

I will be linking the ghast with a very spooky place on Earth,

The Paris Catacombs. Where, there lays 6 million skeletons. But, how did the skeletons make it to the catacombs? It is quite a disgusting and horrible story from the 18th century.

So, if you are interested in the macabre, and in ghasts, hit that play button and let's start the show!

Welcome to the Badlands! With your host, The Dark Lord. The host who puts "Real in Realm, and expands, you mind one block at a time!" This is a real exciting episode that wraps up a trilogy of harsh biomes. I will be covering the badlands in the game of Minecraft and comparing that to the real life Badlands found in South Dakota. I will describe the block called terracotta, which once was called hardened clay. I will delve into the sub-biomes and describe to you the Hoodoos that can be found in Eroded Badlands Sub-Biome. It is an exciting episode that was so exciting that I had to create an extra, complimentary episode to accompany it called Realm News Clip covering the Armadillo in the upcoming 1.21 update and comments from minecrafters on what they build in the badlands. That can be found alongside this episode. Go check that out as well. Hope you all enjoy! Email Me: realmnews247@gmail.com Find me here too: https://biolink.website/RealmNews247 Sources: 1.)

Welcome to Realm News a Minecraft podcast. This episode is titled aptly the cloaks cleric where I will explain why the creeper is a biological weapon made by the ancients. I’ll tell you a story of my encounter of the cleric. I’ll go into a bit of history from a fascinating article I found online [time stamp: 12:30],(National Catholic Register from a blog by Kevin Di Camillo (http://www.ncregister.com/blog) July, 2022) that explains clerics in our world. Such as the choir regalia, or the Tyrion Purple [Time Stamp 16:45], (https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20231122-tyrion-purple-the-lost-ancient-pigment-that-was-mo re-valuable-than-gold article by Zaria Gorvett Title:Tyrian Purple: The lost ancient pigment that was more valuable than gold, November 24th, 2023) that was used to stain the cloaks. I will point out in detail the significance of the cleric and why they worship this creature we deam a monster even though I speculate it was in fact a peaceful animal revered by the ancients until the ancients plugged tnt inside its body cavity [Time Stamp: 24:10], (Minecraft Mobestiary by Mojang Pg. 52 Written by Alex Wiltshore, Illustrated by Anton Stenvall Copyright 2017 by Mojang AB and Mojang Synergies AB) and turned it into a cyborg, kamikaze, cyborg programmed to blow up and take out the zombie hordes that they were trying to quell but ended up failing. If zombies, Ancient builders, creepers, clerics and Minecraft theory fascinates you then you came to the right spot. Welcome to Realm News. Sit back and enjoy!!

Welcome to another episode of Realm News! With your host The Dark Lord. In this episode we are covering the Mooshroom Island biomes in the game of Minecraft in the Overworld. These isolated biomes are a place of mystere. We are going to be covering a whole bunch of topics and I am throwing in some polls that I put on Reddit and read those results to you and also read a part of a description from a fellow Minecraft enthusiast mesmerfriend(Time Stamp:46:00). We will be talking about the mycelium block and its attributes from an article I found here by, (Guitierrez, Luis Joshua, et al. “Mycelium -Minecraft Guide.” IGN, 3 June 2012, www.ign.com/wikis/minecraft/Mycelium.) And how to obtain the mycelium block by using “Silk Touch” (Time Stamp:17:00) Reference: (“Silk Touch.” Minecraft Wiki, Minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Silk_Touch). We will delve into real life mycelium with an article by Johnston,Eddie, and Grace Brewer. (“Mycelium:Exploring the Hidden Dimension of Fungi-Kew.”Www.kew.org, 11 Mar. 2023), and the descriptions of the Mooshroom and their function (Wiltshire, Alex, et Al. Mobeastiary. New York, Del Rey, 2017. Pgs.16-17, then onto fly agaric and the land of Beringuia (Time Stamp: 37:30) that I found online by (Mitton, Jeff. “Fly Agaric and Related Death Cap Mushrooms Synthesize Dangerous Chemicals.” Colorado Arts and Sciences Magazine, 31 Aug. 2021) , mushroom affects in game from (Minecraft.fandom.com, Time Stamp: 43:19) and an amazingly creepy video by National Geographic that went alongside an amazingly written piece by Lu, Jennifer. “How a parasitic Fungus Turns Ants into Zombies.” National Geographic, 18 April. 2019). We are tying together this theory of the Mooshroom biome to real world article listed above. I believe that the Mooshroom biome is responsible for the zombie apocalypse as we know it today in the Overworld. Again, this is a theory but I back it with science and research and provide you fun facts and facts and functionality of blocks and mobs! Take a seat and let me read to you a Realm News!!!

Today, I have a very peculiar episode for you. It was an impromptu episode that I had to make due to a cancellation from a guest.

But, it turned out to be a great episode. In this, I read my very first theory that I made over Minecraft. Which was posted on Reddit a year ago.

This first theory helped encourage me to start Realm News. It is my personal theory over the Mushroom Field Biome, and how it led to the zombie apocalypse on the Overworld.

I will then read a few comments from fellow Minecraftians who made posts to my theory.

I hope you all enjoy it!

Hello Minecraft! Welcome to the copper episode! Copper may sound boring to you, but you would not think so if you knew that you could collect mob heads using copper. Or that you could combine that with amethyst shards to make a spyglass to see long distances. Or how about the upcoming 1.21 update that will be introducing copper bulbs and a whole other assortment of copper crafts? I will tell you all you need to know about copper and its uses. I will also tell you how it had a major impact on human history in a period of time called the Chalcolithic Period that pulled us out of the Stone age and into the bronze. Listen in and learn more.
