重庆的天气

我们星期五坐火车去重庆，我们的火车不太脏。我们休息一点。当君君睡觉，我看书。四小时以后我们到了。重庆的火车站有多人。君君不喜欢看太多人说他们很大声，做地方很脏。我喜欢很多人，因为我在德国常常没有多人。君君买莲花的根。我们坐地铁到重庆中心看摩天楼。然后我们看一点，重庆的天气开始成不好。我们有毛毛雨，以后有小雨，以后有大雨。我们去一个饭店吃饭。我们高兴我们现在干，可是然后我们要去找我们的宾馆。我们的衣服有太多水，我很高兴我没有我的电脑，因为我的抱抱也有水里面。我们在宾馆去淋浴，然后去打台球。当我们看一个电影，我们见新朋友。这个英国人很好告诉我们他们去很多国家。我们跟他们打台球喝酒。下个天我们早上见去吃火锅，可是我们找不到。因为昨天有雨，重庆有蓝色的天空，也很热。我们然后找火锅饭店也吃咖喱。君君跟我然后要回家。我们喜欢我们去重庆见新朋友。

你在哪里

今天一天了到现在我一直没有看到虎步上线。我肯定他家的网没有好。他今天应该在学校，但是他有很多的数学难题要解决，因此他没有时间上网了。我和他就没有时间聊天，我也看不到他了。我希望他在不忙的时候想起我，想象他和我在成都想做什么。

今天我看到了成都的一个小酒馆在八月十一十二号有演出，一个是postrock乐队，一个是中国的很厉害的吉他大师的表演，我想和他一起去看。肯定会很精彩。我希望八月的时候，有很多优秀的乐队来成都的酒馆演出，我就可以带他去看演出了。因为我可能是个很闷的人，我害怕他会感到无聊。

现在最希望的是哈尼的网很快地好。我太想他了。

Angry Cat

what makes my cat so angry very often? Because she has a very judu heart all the time.

等你的网好

今天很无聊也很热。我一直在床上躺着，不想做其他事情。没有人和我说话，或者和我说话人的让我感觉更无聊。我睡了一下午，希望今天快点结束。因为下个星期虎步就有网了，耶！
今天还有个好事情是那个twat没有打电话或者是发短信骚扰我了。希望他再也不骚扰我了。我要睡觉，拜拜哈尼。

你乖不乖

这个周末虎步没有网络，因此我和他不能聊天了，我也不能看他了。他不能看他最喜欢的视频也看不了我的新写的博客。我希望他在家乖乖地学习数学，在电脑上打我的世界。没有我的严格的监视了，他很自由啦。但是他会不会乖呢？哈哈哈

我周末没有网

因为我们还有很慢网我的爸爸买了新网。我们的网星期五结束，我们在星期一收新网。我们从星期五到星期天没有网。我也不会看我的哈尼。我希望我在星期一收很快网。因为我有更快网我跟我的笑猫能打我的世界。我以为我在我的周末想我的女朋友，他也想我。当我的网结束了我们不能聊天。我在周末可能去大学有网看她。如果我不去我在家学习数学打我的世界看电视。当我不收更快的网，我很气疯。因为我等更快网，所以我想有更快网。我也想你有更快网，可是我以为你不有快网到你有一个新家。
我们的天气今天很闷热。我不喜欢闷热的天气。我很累，只想休息想喝冰可乐。我希望我明天打我的世界一点。我可能在我的世界做新东西。我想有一个好世界我们住。我以为我的今天的世界有太高的森林。因为我们不只想有森林，我们要一个世界有多的东西。我们的未来世界要有小的森林。

我的女朋友不知道给我什么礼物

我的哈尼今天告诉我他不知道给我什么礼物。因为她想给我世界的最好东西，我以为她不知道了给我什么啊。我以为她想找这个完美的礼物，但是她不找这个呀。我以为她不要给我一个完美的东西，但是我只喜欢一个礼物她给我因为他爱我。我的哈尼知道了我喜欢什么东西，有什么爱好。我相信她知道什么礼物很好。当我在飞机场看她，我很高兴。我只想抱她，亲她。我不要收一个完美的礼物。因为我以为她开始了哭幸福的泪珠，我也想看他看我的礼物。我不是一个好礼物找人，可是这个次我以为我有一个萌礼物。我觉得我的礼物是我的最好意思。我买这个礼物，他们给我这个礼物，可是我还等他们给我一个东西，我想给笑猫我的礼物在一个东西里面。我也有一个小礼物，可是我不以为当我给她太高兴。这是一个小小礼物。我今天给她一个新博客的绘画。我在她的博客不做多的东西，但是我以为她喜欢我做。我想告诉一个小故事。我不写多的东西，可是我画六个绘画。我只想她看我爱她很多。

Snapshot Rant

So in the new minecraft version they actually made options to change spawners and everything, but yet they still did not add different spawners in the creative menu. They added a feature that is not possible to obtain without hacking or modding the game at all. So this is not really a feature at all, just a gimmick, because regular players will not be able to use it, only map makers. There still is the option that they will change this in the future, but i think it will not change before 1.3 is released if at all.

我在火车上第二次写给你

我希望我下个周有新的网，更快的网。当你在你的新房子我希望你也有更快的网。如果你有呀，我们能打游戏，我们也能说英语，汉语，德语。当我们的网更好我们会做多东西。我跟你想打我的世界看你建造一个房子，一个农场，你的世界。我的旅行很近，我们马上见，亲，抱。因为你要工作，我以为我要做饭当你回家。我以为你每个天很累，可是你晚上很高兴看我等你。当你在工作我可能很闷。我去成都市中心买东西。你要告诉我看什么东西，去哪里做什么。我也想做照片。我写汉语的博客，给我的爸爸，妈妈，朋友明信片。我们在周末做多的东西。我想去电影院看电影。我也想去饭店有很好的吃饭。我们能去动物园看熊猫。如果你回家晚上，所以我以为你没有多的睡觉。我们不去睡觉很早，可是我想睡觉很晚太晚。我早上做早饭起来你去斑。我是你的宝贝给你我全的爱。

Spawner Update?

So minecraft will release a new snapshot today instead of tomorrow to probably release 1.3 by tomorrow, which may be a bit early considering the mob glitches i still have in the newest snapshot. Last weekend there were lots of rumors about what Dinnerbone and Vechs talked about and apparently Spawners got an update, which made me so excited for the next update. I really hope they are changed into the vanilla game and not only internally for players who create maps with outside programs. Today i will see. Yesterday i even build a little arena to test it all on, but badly i got stuck in a wall had to kill myself and spawned somewhere else and was not able to find the arena again x( which was a big bummer.

Change in plans

So originally i was going to fly to beijing, stay there for a week, go to Chengdu and fly back from Shanghai. Because i found a cheaper plane and a better date if i flew back from beijing, the plan changed, and now that Yvonne knows that the apartment will be full in september, beause her roommate comes back from vacation, i thought it might be better to put the beijing trip on the last week instead. Now i will reach beijing on my birthday and will most of the day we will sit in train.

First Exam Passed

So in my second college term i just passed my first test after 2 weeks of studying and two saturdays of staying in college to get these formulas into my head. In the exam itself i was unsure of how i would do and until the evening i was worried that i wouldn't pass and would have to re-do it one year later, since i wouldn't be able to do the retest on vacation when i am in china. The rest of the week will now be time for me to rest and finally have time for Yvonne again. The last weeks i was studying and only saw her when it was late night for her and today i didn't even see her, which made her probably very sad, but maybe she is proud that it was for the greater good since i passed :)

future dreams

studying all days make me think about the near future. before i even go to china i n only a few weeks time i may get FINALLY faster internet and therefor can start to play minecraft together with Yvonne. I planned a lot and really do hope that she can keep up with my speed so that we can have a fair gameplay together with not building a home together but being like neighbors sharing a few things like the nether and experience farms but otherwise trying to build stuff on our own and showing what we can do. as an admin i will also spawn unobtainable items, but not for me, but for Yvonne to give him some riddles and reasons to play and also to make it easier for her to keep up with me. I am sure in the time if we get better internet, i am finally able to show her how to build some mob traps and similar thing. i can't wait to see it happen and really hope that i really get faster internet.

幸福的笑猫

昨天是笑猫幸福的一天。白天上班笑猫很累，但是下午回到家的时候，她妈妈告诉她有一封信。这个消息把她开心死了。她感觉到是虎步给她的信。她兴奋地拿到信后给虎步发了短信，但是虎步的手机坏了，他不知道笑猫给他发了短信。笑猫发了短信就在家时而不时的笑，是傻笑，是幸福的笑。她在等虎步回家和她一起看信。

终于，晚上的时候虎步上线了。笑猫打开了信。信纸上还有一些香水味道，虽然很淡了，但是能够闻得到。里面还有个绿色的小龙，小龙保护这封信安全到达笑猫的家。事实证明，他做到了。信里面的字是用圆珠笔写的，看起来不像个小孩子的字体，除了汉字。哈哈。

虎步的字写得很好的，只是笑猫不太会认。信的内容有满满的四页，有很多英文，有一些中文和德文。笑猫用她的标准的中式英语读信，虎步认真地听。s, l, b 对她来说很难。 不过虎步给她解释了一些。读到第二页的时候，笑猫被感动得哭了。哭得很开心和幸福，这是幸福的泪水。后面读到第四页的时候，笑猫又一次哭了，她太喜欢这封信了，也太深深的被打动了。她很希望虎步就在身边，这样就可以在感动得哭了的时候可以抱住他。但是她哭的时候，虎步在笑她 :P
这是一封很珍贵的信，笑猫非常喜欢它。她希望时间过得快一点，她想快点见到虎步。

Yay for germany

So normally i am not a big fan of soccer and only watch the world championships, but since Yvonne wants to watch with me i think the European Championship is fine this year too. So the game started at 3AM for her and 9PM for me. The game was quite exciting although i wished for more offensive gameplay in the first half of the german team. When germany finally scored i had to hide myself in front of the webcam, because Yvonne's stream was about 2 minutes late, so i knew that germany scored and she was still watching excitingly until she saw the score and jumped up to write me. The group germany is in seems to be pretty hard, but i think germany can make it quite far this time.

12w23b

So today came a new minecraft version, but because the developers moved into a new office there was not much at all added. The game however seems to run faster and some annoying multiplayer bugs were fixed. The boats were also fixed it says, but they still don't really work, they are moved by the arrow keys and additionally by where you look at which is extremely annoying and broken in my opinion. I really hope they change this to a fluently intuitive way again. They also changed enchanting again and made it a bit harder again, they made the XP arc exponential again instead of just rising the level limit and leaving it linear which i liked a lot more. This week really did not satisfy me with the fixes they did and i really hope they will improve the boats and enchanting before making it into 1.3.

My First Skin

So i created my first minecraft skin now and it doesn't look too bad after all. TouTou does not really have many colors, so it was quite difficult to solve some things close to each other like the eyes, but after that was gone it was fairly easy to just color the rest black and white. The shirt was quite tricky, i wanted to write 头 in front but it just did not fit onto the front side. Later i realised that i still have a backside where i could write it on. On the front i made a P for Panda. The mouth cannot be central due to the 8x8 spaces, so that i chose to decentralize it a bit. Now he looks a bit derpy, but very funny. Maybe i choose to remove the mouth completally though.

12w22a

another thursday and another minecraft snapshot. so the enchanting got a lot better. A basic mobfarm will now bring the player to the highest enchanting level in a fast time. The levels are now linear towards each other, which means that from level 50 to 51 there is the same amount of XP needed as from level 0 to 1. Also the highest enchanting level got changed to 30. I was afraid that this also destroyed good enchantments, but apparently all the enchantments are still there just lowered. Mining also yields levels. Levels are now so easy to acquire that the ender dragon yields a bit over 1000 levels, which is simply insane. At least this makes annoying waiting times on a mob grinder a lot less painful. It may be overpowered and too easy to get the highest level, but it is better than standing in front of a grinder for an hour. AND FUCK YES THE PAUSE BUTTON IS BACK!
trading has been improved, but i think that trading will still change a lot in the future. It is just funny to see how it will change in the future.
Jungle Temples are like the pyramids a cool addition, but the traps are easy to destroy and the loot again includes diamonds, but because it is only one chest with diamonds it may be okay since they are rather rare. Also they feature chiseled stone bricks, which were not able to acquire before.
Smelting lava in a furnace doesn't swallow the bucket anymore which is amazing news and it took long to fix that bug. Now the nether can be used as a fuel source pretty much. Tripwire is one of the best features, especially for UHC, now traps are a lot easier to hide. potions in the creative inventory are also quite useful. Block of emerald is a nice addition for buildings. I may use it for future buildings too, since it is finally a green block with a nice texture. Adventure Game Mode is also finally added. As a fan of buildings and surviving it is nothing for me, but this has been promised before and i think it was time that it is finally added to the game (although very buggy and not complete at all). I have heard that zombie pigman can now spawn in the real world by a nether portal, which is a nice little addition for the game. Oh and rain can fill cauldrons which finally gives them a use. I imagine custom maps with no water where these cauldrons can be very important to get water from.

Big Snapshot!

New Item: emerald - it seems to be extremely rare, i just heard that it only spawns in extreme hills and i will test it soon i think.
Trading System - the trading system is quite funny i have to admit and seeing that when you are lucky you can buy diamonds and sell coal, so with patience you can farm diamonds, just by cutting down trees and burning it into charcoal.
New Ore - see emerald
Texture - the gravel texture and the stars indeed look very nice and also gravel is now lower in volume i think.
New Block - It really is the enderchest now. Considering it is quite expensive and it cannot be a big chest i think it is not too powerful, which i was afraid it would. It may be a good addition, because all players share one chest, so if players are far away from each other they can use it as a trading method.
Buckets stackable - This is indeed useful and on my little playthrough it came in handy already.
Better boats - The boats are broken right now, you cannot move them around and the movement is extremely buggy, i think its a bug. They break lilypads, which i dont really care about, but they dont drop boats if tried to be picked up by axe or hand, which is quite sad, so no real improvements here.
Apple of Notch - This item is amazing. It makes you nearly immortal for 30 seconds, because your regeneration is so damn fast. Afterwards you still have 4 and a half minutes with resistence against enemies and invincibility of lava. so a very good addition.

Villages - Villages now consist of sandstone in the desert biome. They look perfectly fitting and i hope more villages in different biomes are about to come.
Pyramids - The pyramids are nice looking structures with chests and a basic TNT trap inside. For my taste they are a bit too overpowered. From my first pyramid i got 7 diamonds and from the second one 3 diamonds. They seem to be not as rare as villages too, so either they should spawn less often or the loot should be changed. I also think dungeons lose its appeal with the additions, dungeons should now feature the new golden apple instead of the cheap one, so that it makes it worth looking for.
Sandstone Stairs - It was about time that they have been added. Yet there is no crafting recipe, which may change next thursday.
Dispenser Update - Lava and water can be controlled by dispensers now which is amazing, i can imagine nice temples with waterfalls on the sides that can be controlled just by one line of redstone behind it instead of pistons that may not look as good.
Bugs - Lightning bugs, misshapen terrain and extreme lags are still common, i hope they can fix it, so that the new version gets better playable. Also pausing the game is still broken and leaving the game in the background eats so much RAM that it melts my computer pretty much, i hope they can fix these problems, the last real version still runs a lot faster. And they seem to have introduced chunk errors in singleplayer. I have never seen these kinds of errors before in single player, it is normally only a multiplayer problem, also there is a weird error that disguises dirt and sand blocks as stone and sandstone blocks and you have to restart the world to fix it, i saw that bug before, but also only in multiplayer. All in all it is a decent update though (not only decent but amazing, it is a lot of stuff added, which can improve gameplay, i just hope the bugs can be fixed so that it actually will improve the gameplay.)

A quite different testrun

Normally on thursdays i either have no time, because i am in college or i do have time to run the snapshot right when it comes out. Then i testrun it in creative, try to find the new things and help editing the Wiki anonymously. This time however it will be different. If i have the time and i can get home earlier today, i will play the new snapshot in Survival mode and play a few minecraft days. I will get full iron armor, get redstone and coal to test if storage blocks for these materials were added. I also get an ender pearl to test the enderchest theory and try to build a laser that was another possible added block and most importantly after i gathered materials i search for a village and take a look at the new trading system. I also will go outside the first night to check how the night will look with the new stars. When i found redstone and it still has the same texture i may be underground for a longer while to see if i can find the new ore.After i did all of these things i will do what i normally do, go to creative and take a look at the things i have missed and look online what else was changed. Oh and i also have to take a boatride and will of course try to stack buckets, maybe even try to stack water buckets and stuff. If I really want to continue playing for a longer time i may even try to find enough gold for the Notch apple, but i think this will not happen, since it needs 72 pieces of gold.

Big Snapshot?

So tomorrow another minecraft snapshot will come and it will have two weeks of new features, since last week we did not get one. I do hope for an overall better performance, since the last snapshots made my game run extremely slow. jeb_ hinted at the new features we are expecting.

New Item: ruby - currency for trading with villagers
Trading System - I really hope that diamonds are possible to buy, so that people can farm things and for that get diamonds, without needing to mindlessly just stripmine, which gets annoying after a while.
New Ore - It looks like a ruby ore, but it may be a re-textured redstone ore. Maybe redstone can be crafted from rubies or the other way around?
Texture - Maybe a new redstone ore texture as said, and additionally a new gravel texture that looks quite promising, maybe they finally added the feature to turn gravel into flint too, who knows. Also the stars in the sky are smaller now and brighter, i hope for some constellations in the night sky.
New Block - A "useful" block that was requested before. i really hope it is not the enderchest, which is a chest that can be opened from everywhere you want with another enderchest, because that is too much into the magic style for me, i would prefer to see a redstone or coal block instead, that would be quite cool, or something else decorative, or maybe even a trap block, but well i shouldn't guess.
Buckets stackable - This is something extremely useful, because empty buckets just fill a whole inventory easily.
Better boats - I actually don't mind that boats get destroyed by lilypads, that's just how minecraft works. However i would love to see that you can pick up boats again.
Apple of Notch - Interesting idea to bring back an uber item. i really hope they give it an ability of an potion effect that is in the game but not used yet.

Yellow Wool = Easy Wool

So i was walking around and there was an industrial looking building. i made a shovel and got some dirt to just look what is on top. First i made a staircase up, but soon had to face lots of blazes, so i went a dirt tower up. I went on top of the building, made a hole in the roof (silverfish spawned but all fell down, so they couldn't attack me). Under the hole there was the wool. I got the wool and went out. I thought maybe i missed something and went inside and light everything up with fighting but that was just a waste of time, i should have just gotten the wool and escaped. Afterwards i head towards a jungle and inside the jungle was a little temple with a similar style of dungeon like the other wool aka a long stairway down with blazes and venomous spiders. I went the clever way down and searched through everything but again did not find the wool yet. I will probably run inside again and light everything up until i find the wool, which just has to be somewhere.

Oh fuck you, pink!

-I made a picture while iron was cooking, in the background the tunnel i made which made everything worse-

-a little cute silverfish <3 yes they were also around-

-That's how basically every room looked, just with more spaces-

-i was amazed that i had a calm moment without any monsters at that part-

So i invited Yvonne for a call and went home through the desert, did some resource management, got some wheat, some wood etc etc and headed onto the island. After quite some ways of walking with stupid lag i saw the victory monument right there in the middle of the island. Next to the VM there was a huge mossy area with water going inside. Instead of going down with the water, i played it clever and destroyed the whole upper layer, so that sunlight goes in and i know what i am facing. Down i saw an entrance and made my way thru the outside to not face mobs. Then came a staircase with poison spiders and ghasts. I didn't know what insanity was about to happen when i made a break there. After a hard time fighting these spiders i had to face the worst, random rooms full of blazes (there were so many blazes that minecraft lost its sounds, a common bug, which can be fatal when you dont hear creepers sizzle). First i played it safe and surrounded the rooms, trapped the blazes and looted the chests, but after i traveled in circles for half an hour or longer i just went inside lit everything up and destroyed all spawners. It was difficult, but i really was lost in that maze. And even when i had everything lit up it didn't help. I didn't see a monster for 5 minutes, but neither saw the fleece-box. I found a lot of iron and even 5 pieces of gold and stacks of coal, but not the fleece-box. It took me long, but at the end i realized that when i was building a safe walkway, i built it exactly over a shaft down directly to the fleece-box. So all these arrows i wasted on the blazes were just because i missed the right way directly in the beginning of the area. I was quite mad at myself for my shability, but in the end it worked out i guess. Now i have the pink wool and full iron armor.

First wool

So it was time for adventure!

I packed my stuff and just walked straight on the island, nothing could go wrong, i had my bed if it turns night i could make it day before monsters make my life hard. I walked over plains and then into a big forest, crossed the forest with a few zombie and spider encounters and the day was nearing its end already, it was a very long walk. After the forest i slept in my bed on the edge of a new desert. After i crossed the desert i saw the ocean, i really just crossed the whole island and did not find anything. I turned around walked a few meters and then i saw it in the distance. A big pyramid!

This was going to be my first adventure! i set up a little base and dig into the pyramid (although there was an entrance). Like a grave robber i just hit myself thru the rock to avoid anything bad that could be triggered by the entrance. I found a little room with some goodies but nothing to fancy and a big stairway down into the abyss. I didn't want any monster to surprise me, so i grabbed my pickaxe and dug myself around the hole to the ground to enter the tomb. I found big rooms all connected by large spaces and all featured chests. After i put down torches in the whole area and looted the chests i realized that it had several layers. There were holes in the ground with the same structure down below. So i went back to the beginning room, and dug a hole in the ground and used a gravel-elevator down after some encounters with some hidden silverfish (fuck yeah easy XP). The room below had no entrance to other rooms and i soon figured that it was on purpose so noone would dug down but instead run into traps. But i had a better idea, instead of using the way directly down, i dug myself a long stairway down to the deepest layer, there i heard something i never wanted to hear: Blazes. So i dug in to see something, but the room was full of blazes already. I put down a basic trap to get a few blazes to die and then looked inside again and there it was: A chest! A room full of blazes with a chest, that must yield something good! So i suffered finding the chest from down below, because my orientation is just bad and after quite a while i got the chest and in it was literally nothing, the best thing inside were chain leggins and i had already iron ones, so i didn't pick it up. Angrily i made my way to the next room, since i did not see the wool monument anywhere, underground i encountered a lot of silverfish. I chose to hit them with my hand instead of my sword for a while to get most of the out at first, since they can only hurt you when they hit your head it was quite an easy task to gain much levels on the way to the wool. The next room was full of zombies, which was perfect since i ran low on food. I trapped some of them got some anti-fresh meat and continued to the next room. Creepers... Ok i turn around and go the other side: A skeleton room... Okay I'm not doing this, i counted the sizes of the rooms and just dug myself to the next wall which was faster than going in anyway. The next room was just crazy, it were fucking ghasts! Since i was on the bottom of the world the void fog made it impossible to see the ghasts. The way to go was up, making a little hole and killing all the ghasts, which was an easy task in such a small room with so many so big monsters. Every shoot was a hit, since there was nothing else then ghasts. After killing them all i dug myself to the spawner, removed it and killed the new ghasts. I entered the room killed all new monsters in there and lit everything up. Then i saw already the fleece box. My first wool was white, which surprised me since it was quite a place far away from my spawn. I grabbed every wool piece since i am in hardcore anyway and made my way back up to the top. I don't know how many days have been passed, but this was a heck of an adventure!

Stranded - Day 3 & 4

Day 3

Day 3 was a rainy day, so i could not do many things, i tried to stay distant to make enemies despawn and then walked carefully to the island. I planted the saplings, dug myself into a hole and gathered a bunch of stone. With the stone i made tools and i used it to make a very little and ugly cobblestone hole. I also built a little chicken-farm on the water and a bamboo farm. I had two eggs, but badly did not get any chickens, yet. When the night came the rain luckily stopped. During the night i tried to get a spider from the land follow me into the water (to kill it and finally get my third piece of string), but i wasn't lucky. I killed two spiders and both gave me no string at all and to get them into the water was extremely difficult. The first time i saw two spiders on the shore, but when i swam near it 7 creepers spawned already. After a few minutes of swimming back and forth i got a spider that dropped 2 strings for my arrow. This world has a lot of gravel, so i am confident that i can soon get a lot of arrows, when i have a chicken-farm going.

I'm not used to live on ugly places without any symmetry, but this has to be enough for now.

Day 4

The day arose after i crafted some more tools and this was going to be a good, but boring day. On the shore were still 5 creepers. One exploded (i took no damage) and the others didn't seem to mind me that much. The trees started growing and it took me nearly half the day to get one big tree completely down. I may not care about the material of my house right now and it all looks like trash, but one thing i cannot stand even in survival is trees floating midair. After i knocked down the tree i replanted the trees. The saplings i gathered i can now burn in a furnace, because i do not want more trees in that farm for now, because i do not want more mobs to spawn. I cooked the tree chunks down into coal and made torches which i all laid down on the shore. Then i gathered some more stone in a hole. killed three sheep for wool made a bed when the night started and i figured that routine now will kick in. Stocking up on all of my resources and living a nice adventurous life, yet i will not rush to start moving onwards to the island before i haven't secured the first part of my shore completely.

Stranded - Day 1 & 2

Day 1

My ship broke and i have nothing on my body except my water-heavy clothes. I see land, but hesitate to go, maybe i should first look for all supplies left in my sunken ship before heading into the unknown. Diving and holding my breath i go town to the body of my ship. I find two chests with a bit of armor and a sword. A bit of food and other supply i may need later. Even a bit of wood and basic tools. I also found a bit of stone i will have to use later. Before it is getting dark i should explore a bit of the land, get a few seeds to start a basic wheat farm, and find some stone. I found a bit of coal on the surface and in a little cave-in under a gravel-trap i dodged, i found even a bit more of coal and stone. While mining stone with a freshly made wooden pickaxe i made from wood i found in my ship and wood i destroyed of my ship (since its sunken i may as well use it) i was attacked by a spider. No problem for the iron sword and i immediately closed up the dark cave the spider came out of. I planted my seeds on the shore and now had to decide where i wanted to live. Yesterday when i thought about this scenario i figured a house that is up a few blocks so monsters can't easily reach it may be a good idea, but now i got a better idea. I headed into the ocean back to my ship. No mobs will spawn in water i thought and started building a platform right over my wooden past. The sun started to kiss the horizon goodbye.

Night 1

It was a peaceful night, i made torches and put it down on my little piece of artificial land i created as a permanent home until i found the monument. I expended the area and then gathered more wood from my ship. I also headed down into my ship to gather a few more things, but i was mislead and used up precious time hunting after a ghost (destroying parts of the ship only to find out that it was the room i already looted). I made a few more tools, started a basic layout of my platform and rested to be ready for the big journey that was to come. While waiting i made the worst mistake of the first day. I ate the only melon i had instead of making seeds out of it, immediately after i ate it i screamed "NOO", but it was too late.

Yvonne, the cow, walked up to me and bumped me with her nose while i took this screenshot of the wizard's tower in the distance.

Day 2

The sun rose and i knew exactly what i had to do. The answer was easy, i needed a steady supply of wood. So i headed inside the land and soon found that the land is filled with animals and i can kill some without having to worry to extinct a species. After walking a few meters i realized that it was a bad idea to run inside the land and get lost, so i changed my plans and ran on the shoreline instead which will later provide me protection to the death that was about to come. After a while of walking i saw a mysterious huge tower, which looked old and forgotten. I was sure that this would not be the last time to see this tower, but for now i had to leave it behind and head further. Not far after i saw the tower i saw a swamp with trees, the perfect way to get some saplings and bring them to my home. After i knocked down one tree with an axe i made the night before i realized that it was a day journey and it was about to get night, so i grabbed all the saplings i could get and headed back home not knowing what horrors the night would bring.

Night 2

The night was scary, i was not attacked by any monster, because i had the chance to keep a distance. The only thing that saved me was the fact that i was near water though. It didn't take long and hordes of monsters started spawning, i tried to walk along the shoreline, but soon had to switch onto swimming to avoid any confrontation. While swimming home i looked on the shore and i never saw so many monsters crowded onto each other like on the tokyo metro. On my way back home i saw two spider jockeys, which is a very rare mob and two in one night is just ridiculous. One time i tried to count what i saw on a third of my screen on a very crowded place and it were 7 creepers, 5 skeletons and 3 spiders. There was no way that they spawned without spawners everywhere in the ground. Reaching my platform i planted some seeds next to my platform, thinking "Screw this, there is no way I'm going out there on the land right now".
