Did you buy Minecraft through Mojang before Microsoft forced account migrations?

Some folks are working on a class action lawsuit against Microsoft because of people being locked out of playing the game they paid for, just because they didn't migrate their account in time. And because of constant updates to the terms and services without proper notice given to customers.

Whether or not you lost access to play Minecraft which you paid for, please consider adding your info to their surveys:

It is done \o/

This is a goodbye present for my friend and colleague, who will resign her job next week. She is a huge #Minecraft fan, so I made her an #axolotl out of epoxy resin, put it in a fancy resin cube and lit the whole thing up with addressable LEDs. I would have used simple fairy lights, but I didn't have any 🙈 ... So I used what I found in my cupboard, which was WS2812B's and an Arduino Nano.

Making the axolotl was a bit of an experimental adventure, but it worked well.

I call it cute-alotl, because it turned out way too cute 🙈

It has two USB ports at the back, one for programming the Arduino and the other for power. Unfortunately the Arduino cannot power the required 1.5A for the LEDs.

It also has glow in the dark powder mixed into two back walls, so it will continue to glow when powered off.

I promise there's lots of shiny stuff and glitter in there, but the camera doesn't catch it well 🙈

And a video for good measure

the camera pans over the cube in the dark from various angles. it is lit up from below by a matrix of blue and pink LEDs the axolotl looks like a dark silhouette. when the cube is powered off, two back walls continue to glow in the dark in a faint green

This is what the bottom looks like. I tried to make the resin as pigmented as possible to hide the electronics. When lit up and looked at in the dark, the electronics become somewhat visible as a silhouette.

top down view of the upside down cube. the bottom of the cube shows dark strips of LEDs in the background, while some cables and the Arduino are visible as a black silhouette in the foreground. behind all this is blue LED light shining from below. the surroundings are dark.

Here's what the back looks like with the glow in the dark walls.
