There i was at the plateau, digging a stairway to the depths of the earth. Wondering what goodies I might come upon. Digging downwards I found only a lot of rock and a few peices of coal. When my last pick ran out i walked up the staircse that I had been working on. When i looked outside it was dark, and many bad mobs littered the land, seeing another zombie with an iron shovel. I made plans to steal the shovel from the zombie, I created a bow and collected the few arrows that i had gathered. When I was armed and ready i went out, I made my way down to the last known position of the zombie. But alas he had gone, when I felt it nessissary to move back to base i encountered a few creepers, when I neared the plateau and rounded a corner there he was
I ran back to the plateu and scrambled up the entrance, blocking all access off the zombie glared at me. I started swinging just as the sun came up. When the beating was done I went down to collect my prize. Getting bored of all the mining I moved on, it was daylight and my foodsupply was growing smaller. I decided that it would be wise for me to go out hunting for a more sustainable food source. I knew that if i wanted to have a good source of food (mainly meat) then i would need to have some sort of crop to feed the livestock with. I remembered about the pumpkin seeds that I found the other day, while adventuring over the hill, that would have to do. I could farm chickens and live a somewhat comfortable life as I tried to establish myself. Grabbing a few seeds and moving away from saftey I scouted the land for chickens, all over the land there were webs, but no chickens. I reached a tiaga biome at one point and there were sheep for days,
so I went around and collected my fill. Loosing sunlight and hope I started back for home, then I came across a chicken! Holding seeds in my hand I slowly enticed the chicken back to the plateau, digging the chicken a little hole so it could live out its life in peace, without wandering too far. I fed the chicken a seed and watched on as it clucked with glee. The night was upon me as i worked my way up the face of my hill. Once safe inside my plateau i started the mutton cooking and got to work organizing my loot from the previous few days. It did not take long as there was not too many explorations that took place. Looking at my chest i realized that if i wanted to plant the pumpkin seeds i would need more iron. Mining was to be done, rather than going back down the staircase I decided that it would be faster to find an above ground cave and search the walls for the iron that i needed. Preparing with lots of tools, weapons and light i ventured off to the side of my hill and started down a cave.
There were many dangerous guys in the cave, being smart i blocked off the entrance and drew each of them, one at a time to the entrance where they met their death. Once the cave was clear of baddies, I moved along with torches lighting up the dark areas making sure to take careful note of which resources were where. Once there was a branch that was cleared of all resouces I took down my torches and blocked off the entrances to said branch. Once moving downward I realized that this cave was not infact a small one, but a network of caves and giant caverns.
Rather than moving back to base with my resources I decided to spend the night in the mine, digging away what resources it had to offer. Once day came and my pack was satisfyingly full I walked back up to the plateau, throwing the iron that i had into the stove and storing the rest in the chests that i had. There i was, holding my first iron implement, a hoe.
Of all the things to make it was the most satisfying thing that i could have done Moving quickly i ran down to the waters edge and started the works of a basic pumpkin farm. Creating the plots in such a pattern that each stalk had space around it to sprout its fruits.
As night fell I realized that there was not much more to do on the surface, so after reequiping I went back down to the caves and resumed getting resources. Feeling like I had cleared the mouth of the cave well enough I started to venture deeper into the depths of the cave, thats where I was ambushed by a spider and creeper. I was able to beat both off, then more creeers came along, I realized that i could let them do the work for me so i let them scar the land, and i went and picked up what was left after the explosion. When i decided that i went far enough I started to move back to the surface, when i rounded a corner a skelly got a shot into me,
I charged him with a half broken axe in hand. By the time i had gotten to him and i was already at half health, swinging furously with the axe when it shattered, i moved on to using my pick, but by that time I was in a crippled state. One more shot and i was done for, watching through my slowly red-ing vision i watched the skelly laugh with a bony cackle.
When the black receded and i awoke again, I realized it was night and there were mobs around me, working quickly I ran to a tree and started punching for my life, hearing a skelly i looked up and to my horror i saw not one but two spider jockies.
Grabbing the wood that was scattered around the ground i dug a hole and started to get some basic stone tools until i heard the burning of mobs. Digging my way out of the hole I was promptly greeted by a couple spiders, hitting them in the belly with an axe i fought my way out of the hole. When my eyes adjusted to the light i started to run up to the mobs and murder them, moving swiftly i approached the wild cattle and disposed of them within two hits.
Quickly gathering wood and food i set out for a cave, knowing that a compass was the only key home. When the night fell i stumbled into a short cave,
blocking off both sides i started on cooking what meat i had, and dug out more stone for tools. Once again I was in the dark, with a little food and only the cloths on my back (even if you could call them clothes) When I saw the sun was rising I started preparing for the next day, making a surplus of tools. I left a few basic supplies in the cave, just incase I ever come across that place again but I know one thing. If i am to make it back home, I will need to survive.
