Day 7Damn, getting out of this maze is gonna be a challenge.
These bubble columns were a lifesaver both on the way in and on the way out.
I SEE THE LIGHT
Wood in hand, the next task was to return to that cave. I opted for the much easier method of using doors to refill oxygen underwater this time.
Anyway, after a day of failing at that I gave up and went home.
Luckily I didn't emerge that far from where I went in, and found the village easily enough.
Day 8: Mining except I do it properlyLemme take a look at that monument thing I see
Fun. I'm guessing I add my own block to the pole once I'm done with my turn.
Since there was some daylight left, I went ahead and crafted buckets, shears, and an iron sword, then built a proper farm.
The pain of having EXACTLY ONE FENCE POST left after fencing it off...
Incidentally, it functions as an excellently defensible position against zombies, even this yellow guy, who dropped his helmet
I ran into the mine a bit hastily.
I AM A DWARF AND I'M DIGGING A HOLEDIGGY DIGGY HOLE
DIGGY DIGGY HOLE
I found into another cave
As well as a few more unwelcome guests
Day 9Eventually I had to turn around because I ran out of torches. Interesting that I have plenty of iron but ran out of coal, it's usually the reverse. Maybe it's the new ore generation?
On the way up I realized that I had committed a slight error with digging the shaft
Ah well, lowering the floor makes it easier to install stairs later. I found some coal on the way up:
And thus I was able to start mining downwards first, this time touching deepslate
That is... quite a far drop
I decided to explore the cave I found earlier before getting water to descend into the lower one. The caves turned out to be winding but fairly easy to navigate.
I was a bit shocked to find lapis here though
y=24, so I guess it isn't that high up, but again, ore distribution must have changed.
Day 10The crops have begun to grow
After some replanting, it's full of potatos
The totem pole has fully oxidized, and is now a vibrant shade of green. The number of times I've mistaken it for a creeper on the horizon...
I ended up making the mine entrance this thing. Someone else can make it look nice, I guess.
It was getting dark, so I decided to build a house. Unfortunately phantoms started to spawn, and thus I had to build the roof as quickly as possible. I managed it just in time.
Opened a door into the mineshaft too. The door on the mineshaft is currently the only door into the house.
Time to descend into the deep
I walled off a small area around the bottom of the waterfall. This place is HUGE and warrants exploration later.
Finally, I went and put my name on the totem pole.
I did misread the clock and went to noon of day 11... we could correct that, or just leave the turn breaks at noon from now on.
This concludes my turn! Progress made:
- Found a lot more iron. I think we have almost a full stack now.
- Created farm
- Dug a mineshaft all the way down to deepslate
- Discovered a large cavern in the deepslate layer
- Trapped two chickens
- Built a terrible house
Possibilities for next player:
- Explore the massive cavern at the bottom of the mineshaft.
- I have a hopper in my inventory and a few chickens in the pen, maybe make an egg farm?
