mein craft

joined the sparktown.xyz minecraft server after i saw it mentioned on forum.sickos.net. i have not played minecraft in a long time and just re-installed it. never played minecraft since i've switched to linux last year, but it works without issue on Fedora 44!

NOTE: the server seems to require minecraft version 26.1.2 right now (trying to connect with the newest version did not work), but it is easy to install different version with the official minecraft launcher, and i can just select the version i wanna play.

night of the living ded

spawned in some freakin ass swamp. i dug an emergency hole @ 63 / 69 / -122 and survived. it was dark without torches. feel free to use my hole.

then i set out to explore, found some wool to build a bed. i killed the sheep. and some cows. i guess this is not a vegetarian run.

found this weird as heck lava monument! whether it is human made or not, i do not know.

almost got killed by a creeper. rest in peace, creep.

expedition #1

set out to explore. start of expedition #1. went towards the east (i think) and found a mountain.

base building

moutain with waterfall and a terrace like mountain base structure
mountains are good for coal & iron ore

i built a little mountain GOAT base there @ 180 / 96 / 0 and found iron and coal. on the top of the mountain, a weird frog, cows, and an armadillo. Feel free to expand this base!

GOAT base under construction

i wanna find a mountain GOAT.

the freakz come out @ night

this is fun! i am a lonely explorer. it is scary being the only person in a big world, but maybe would be even scarier suddenly not being alone anymore. monsters and villagers scare me. abstract kinda feel. the world is a jungle & anything can happen.

Katamari Damacy - Cherry Blossom Color Season

found a scary looking cave entrance @ 490 65 -146, there was some mineshaft down there i think

right now, i am a lil lost. i'm resting @ 264 64 -175, which means i will have to go to the west to reach the start area again.

other than that: put some cows in a tiny cowpen. god i love animal welfare. but i got hungry and am still waiting for wheat to grow. and found lots of sheep and sheared them with my scissors i had made previously when i had iron.

i also re-visited my starting hole by accident. and made it a bit more homely. even has beds now, and like, torches. you can rest there and take some tools!
