Dead. Survived <1 Day
Dead. Survived 1 minute.
Frustrated. I started near some water and NO JUNGLES! There was a deep cave nearby alongside a shallow ravine that had iron and coal so this looked like the best chance to survive. I learned from my previous mistakes and built my workbench, got my wooden pickaxes, made an Axe, harvested like crazy and as night began to near, had a small stockpile of stone pickaxes. I realized that food would be a good idea so i quickly ran around and punched the life out of several animals. Noticed that nearby there was a 2 block high pit that seems to have captured several animals. Jumped in, killed a bunch of animals and acquired a small pile of food. Night was now upon me and i realized i hadn't found shelter. I quickly managed to find a dirt wall 3 blocks high so i punched my way in, and walled myself in with the minimal piles of dirt i had. I spent the night digging, making a furnace, a new workbench and prepared for the next day.
Day 2
Day broke and i punched a hole to see a creeper and a skeleton awaiting. I managed to punch them both to death when i realized "Hey, this consumes a lot of hunger". After devouring a significant portion of my limited food stock, decided it would be best to use an axe next time. I returned to the surface to find something to eat when i sadly could not find anything. The whole area was void of all animal life after 1 day. Disheartened, i decided to try and fortify myself a bit. I collected some dirt and created a roof layer in the small ravine to protect myself. I was near a dessert so i collected some sand and cactus with the plan to make a cactus barrier around the entrance to my little hovel. Maybe some mobs will wander in and i can get some zombie flesh or bones. I created a door, a little cactus barrier and when night fell, retreated to my small hovel and continued mining the scant amounts of iron and coal to make more torches.
Day 3
Hunger had really set in. A few mobs did wander by the cacti, but didn't die or drop anything. I desperately looked at the surface and again, no animals. The trees i chopped down didn't yield any fruit either. I heard some zombie moaning from within the cave. Decided it was my best chance and went down. I got to the bottom of the pit and discovered a plentiful supply of iron. What joy, except that i was now famished, out of torches and no dirt to get back up. A small river ran by that led into the darkness. With no hope of survival and no zombies to eat, i jumped down the hole and drowned.
Dead. Survived 3 days.
I Spawned near a village. I knew there would be nothing of value, but the shelter was nothing to spit at. Unfortunately, this village was a 40sec walk between a mountain and forest. I worked away collecting wood, then making 5 wood pickaxes for A stone Pick and Axe. I then harvested trees, made some fresh kills, and collected enough stone for 2 pickaxes. I noticed that it was getting close to nightfall. I depserately walked back to the village, made some pickaxes, back to the mountain, collected more stone and coal and made it back just in time. I moved into the Smithy as the furnaces are invaluable. I walled the door in with dirt, punched a hole so i could reach the furnace and cooked what meat i had collected. The skeletons clattered desperately outside. Thankfully, the smithy was a block higher than normal so from the ground level they couldn't see in though the window.
Day 2
I broke out and ran. Looked behind me to see two creepers in hot pursuit. Once i lsot them, i looked around for food. Yet again, nothing. I went for an explore and still... nothing. Maybe i can have some luck mining for iron. If i can just find 18 iron ore blocks, i can get a hoe and survive! I continue my work mining for stone and coal so at least i can light up my area and stop hostiles from spawning. Dusk approaches and i return to the village to find that some skeletons have spawned (or remained) in some of the other abandoned houses, even the one with the free Workbench. I ditch it and return to the smithy. With a fresh supply of stone, coal and wood i build a new workbench and prepare for the next day.
Day 3
I zip outside. Luckily, no monsters today but again, no wildlife to be seen. Food supplies are scarce.
