Day 167: Sand and explosions.

One Among the Dead

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 166:

At least when the giraffe corgi monsters explode behind me while I’m digging up sand, they blow most of the sand onto the beach where it’s easier for me to pick up later.

You know, later, after I’ve regained consciousness.

Been a rough day, is what I’m saying.

Drawing of a simple pocket watch. The face has a moon at the 12 position, a half-risen sun at the 3 position, a full sun at the 6 position, and a half-risen moon at the 9 position. It also only has one hand.

Day 165:

I’ve been cleaning a lot of the brush and doing a bit of rounding out the hills nearby. It seems spurious work, since it doesn’t put ducken on the table or gold in my pocket, but it’s more of a safety thing. I prefer to be able to see the exploding giraffe-corgis before they get to me.

Plus, the dirt’s a handy thing to have around if I need to protect myself from a significant amount of flooding or something like that. Dirt is surprisingly hard to get underground. Rock? No problem. Gravel? By the shipful. Dirt? HA!

Blue sky and a smooth green hill, with a grey path around the hill and some bushes nicely laid out on the ground.
I’m using some fo the gravel to line the muddier paths, and hoping it doesn’t look too out-of-place.

Day 165: Closer than it appears

Day 164:

I went back to my main cave today after spending the morning out in the river gathering sand. I was bored while waiting for the sand to cook down into glass, so I started clearing one of the chambers I’ve been ignoring in my efforts to get to the big mountain.

It was filled with granite, of course.

I’m going to spend tomorrow in the cavern on the way to the big mountain, because that’s my ultimate goal, but it was pretty awesome to find out that there’s something of value still close to home.

Day 165:

Found some more diamonds, some of the weird sparky red rock, and some gold. This would be cause for celebration if I didn’t hear the weird purple people laughing at me from somewhere inside these caves.

Okay, maybe they’re laughing at each other, but since they keep trying to kill me, it feels like they’re laughing at me.

One of the sparky red rocks. I wonder if I can drain the power out somehow?

Day 163: Ceiling Zombies

Day 163:

I’m digging out one of my biggest caverns yet. I’ve found coal, various valuable stones, and lots of zombies. The zombies are climbing down the sides of the ravine I’m in and attacking me from above.

It is not fun to have zombies falling on your head.

I’d rather deal with the duckens from above, to be honest.
