Day 669: better stuff than I thought

Sometimes you need a project that’s just for, y’know, goofing around. This is the ongoing saga of my Minecraft character. For lack of a better title, we’re going with “One Among the Dead”. 

Day 669:

So far my mapping and road expedition has revealed that I have a lot more resources in my local area than I realized. The river that’s nearby is full of sand and clay that I can mine out for more glass and bricks. There’s another large forest to my east, toward the town that I swear I’m going to get to someday, but not close enough for me to drop in for a visit. And for some reason the oak-like trees drop apples if you cut enough of them down.

I was worried for a while that I was deforesting this planetesimal faster than its   environment would be able to react to, but so far all I’m seeing are forests and more forests. At this rate it doesn’t seem like I can do much damage, though I do worry that my mining might be destabilizing the core.

And then I remember that I’m one human with a pick axe she made from hand, not an entire mining corp with laser mining tools, and I go back to chopping wood and carrying water.
