DAY 1
I type in the seed “flatland” and create a new world.
And I spawn in a forest.
But as I take a couple steps, it soon become apparent that I am on the fringe of a vast plain, some uncountable area of tall grass and relatively flat land.
For now, back to punching wood.
When I have satisfied my tree-murdering impulses, I devote my efforts into procuring a minimal supply of food. A cow wanders by and I punch it; instantly, it makes a run! I had forgotten animals flee now. Not good. Rapidly rethinking my strategy, I make a wood shovel and pick and start scooping out earth. With the first pieces of cobble, I make a proper stone pickaxe, and later, a sword, axe, hoe, and shovel. Then, yes! After just mining for a minute I have found a decent sized coal vein which gets me 16 torches and still 10 pieces coal left to smelt important assets. I’m lucky today, so I punch out some flat grass in the shape of a four-leaf clover to celebrate. It’s past noon, so I head out into the flat plains, looking for a good place to start my settlement…but then out of the corner of my left eye, I see something; it’s an npc village! On my hurry, I have to remind myself not to sprint; I don’t have any reliable food source. I do punch a few cows on the way though, for a delicious dinner, and I kill enough sheep for a bed. Arriving at the village, I spot a welcome array of over 10 wheat farms! Although there is evidence of trampling, this wheat will deter famine for quite a while. Night rapidly falls and I must find shelter or fall prey to those malicious mobs; it is clearly too late to build my shelter so I duck inside the towns watch-tower, it should be the most secure, and on the second floor, place a crafting table and a bed.
DAY 2
Yawning, I climb downstairs without incident, I feat I consider to be worthy of a Olympic medal: climbed down 3 meters of ladder while half asleep in just 4.2 seconds! Breakfast shall have to wait because I’m not particularly hungry and I need wood. I pull out an axe and resume a faster version of yesterday’s tree-murdering. A minute and 20 or so wood later, I start the short journey back to the village. My 3x4 living space, I decide, needs some renovation. The villagers must’ve been ravine explorers because one of the roads lead directly into a small 4 block deep ravine, where I quickly mine out another half-stack of cobble I will need. The west wall of the watch-tower needs to go, I decide as I expand my room to over twice its current size and move my bed to a more optimal position. It is almost sunset now, but I have just enough time to plant the 10 or so saplings that have dropped from trees.
DAY 3
Today, I’m gathering supplies, what for, I have no idea. I cook my food in the forge for a hasty breakfast while I pillage the farms of wheat. This takes the better part of my day, unexpectedly, as the ancient wheat farms are numerous. The lava beside the forge will be very useful, I decide, but I cannot carry it without a bucket. I mine a bit more in the miniature ravine, but to no avail. Frustrated, I take my cobble and make a random 2 high wall. The start of a booming metropolis I think to myself. Population: 1. Or perhaps it will be a symbol of some cryptic message: I was here. My trees I planet before are grown now, so I punch two of them down before I remember I have an axe! Minemnesia I call it. Chopping down the rest with axes is certainly more efficient I decide. I circle the npc village to make sure I have harvested all the wheat and then suddenly, I see the fenced-off livestock storage! What a beautiful sight; cows and sheep a plentiful. Blood splatters all over me as I slaughter them one by one with my sword. I particularly like the chickens; I can kill them instantly so they don’t have a chance of running. I glance up briefly and catch the last rays of the astonishing sunset before I stroll back to my sanctuary up in the watch-tower. Zzzzz.
