I imagine you'd starve to death rather quickly.

Why?  I mean, the challenge in itself necessitates a nomadic lifestyle ( I suppose ) which means, if you're not in an ocean world seed, you could find cows, pigs and chickens everywhere to punch to death.

And even if those run out, you can hunt zombies with your bare hands.

   Or just punch leaves to be honest. If you starve to death its only because you where not seeking food (or incredibly unlucky) which is why I normally start starving anyway. The biggest thing in a challenge like that though is find an npc village. They have wheat farms which if you protect can continue to provide wheat for a long time to come. That and the torches.

So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.

But you need to craft wheat to make it edible, so that won't work.

*facepalm* right, no crafting, not easy to get ones head around. Anyway torches still in NPC villages and still worth it. Also sometimes chests have watermelon seeds so you could if you got some grow watermelons in a village.

Yeah, I can really only see such a playstyle being viable if minecraft had more wild fruits and vegetables that you could eat.

Need a hoe for tilling. When a watermelon grows off of the stem, the ground underneath goes back to normal dirt. Therefore, you'd quickly run out of growable spaces.

MoM is right, Minecraft would need more wild things you could eat straight off the vine/tree/whatever.

Last I checked, the Watermelons/Pumpkins actually DON'T need to grow onto Tilled Ground anymore...

Yeah the melons where changed to not require tilled soil to grow onto.

Sitting in a village growing melons for all eternity doesn't sound particularly fun though :P
