Day 527:
I’ve made some new armor out of the diamonds, as one does. I wasn’t comfortable with how quickly my last chest plate fell to pieces so I’ve made a bunch of those… and I’ve also made some better leg protection, some boots (or rather, diamond things that slide over the boots because purely diamond boots wouldn’t bend and that’s not how human feet work, and an extra helmet.
And I had enough left over to make a couple of shovels.
I actually have a lot more diamond, enough to make some pickaxes and maybe even an axe, but the thing is that I’m running low on storage. So I’m trying to use up some of the older armor that’s mostly damaged in my crate.
I mean, if all I’m going to be doing is fighting the occasional skeleton that raids my garden, I don’t really need the good stuff for that… and if the good stuff breaks near home, that’s not exactly a bad thing either.
It’s weird, the pull between not wanting to throw anything out and wanting things to wear out so badly that I can’t fix them.
