My current world plonked me on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean, nothing as far as the eye could see. THANKFULLY there was a Tree on that island, as it was one of the Plains biomes where trees rarely grow. I built a boat and headed West. (Pretty sure it was west) in search for the mainland. I went on and on and on and on, and as night was beginning to fall I saw land. I though WOOT mainland. Then I curved around the bay and took to shore, climbed the small hill and my jaw dropped. It was an Island, largish in fact but still an Island. I was still alone. Only three trees here. I quickly took them down and planted the few saplings they dropped and built a quick shelter from the wood. Then ran around frantically smacking the bushes for seeds as no animals would ever spawn there regularly...
After planting the few seeds I could gather I took a quick yet detailed walk around the island. I heard a tickle near the coast. The sound of falling water. I dove in and found a little cave, inside was coal and a few lumps of iron before it stopped. I was tempted to dig deeper but I was getting hungry. I came to the surface to discover that Night was at its peak. I took to my shelther as I had nearly drowned due to coming up the wrong opening. In the morning I found rotten meat. The only source of food, I gingerly scoffed it down and while feeling sick in my stomach it was better full. I return now to the work in trying to find a more safer entrance to those caves, but it looks like naught. Perhaps I shall need to build a safe entrance...
To work then...
EDIT::
I travel down into the stone. I hear water trickling to the side and the stone was warm *Lit from the other side, normally means magma. I go up a level and dig through. A large open ravine greets me, water spills somewhere from above to the ground turning the lava to obsidian. Regardless I look around. I see Redstone and facepalm myself for forgetting the Iron Pick. I dig out what Iron I can see and continue to look around. Up above I spy wood and an abandoned Mineshaft. Great I think, I can reforge my tools after that. I head up and do so, collecting what Iron and Coal I can see...
I adventure down the shaft finding ore and coal and gold and redstone, Gobbling them up with glee, I stumble across a chest left discarded by the miners who have passed and think to myself the old motto. Finders Keepers... I pry open the chest and twinkling at me are two Diamonds. I couldn't believe it. I carry them for a long time as I make my way through the mineshafts collecting the goods around me. But I get cocky. I finally decide to turn the Diamonds into a Sword, as it would protect me better I thought. I come out into the open and hear a noise of something falling from a height behind me before a Hiss begins. I turn around and wack the thing with my new sword. But it was no good. BOOM....
I held my bleeding arm as I look around me before chewing some bread for a chance to recover. The moment I draw my blade again....
HIIISSSSSSSSSS.... BOOM...........
I return to the living on the small island where I remeber waking before. But this time there is no tree waiting for me. The boat right took a day and it would be weeks before I could return by hand........
I am not swimming....
