OMG I died

So… I died.
I was building at my base and ran out of jungle wood. I had nothing growing, so I decided to go over to a jungle biome nearby. The spiders shouldn’t be a problem…, unless they kick you of the top of a tree I guess. I fell all the way down (and I don’t have feather falling yet).
So I died, really didn’t see that coming. My base is so safe, I kind of forgot this is also a survival game. And then, the gravity of the situation hit me.
I’m gonna be out there. Out there. The fucking wild. With wolves, and slimes, and (more) spiders and all kinds of hell. And it’s going to be dark. And there’s not going to be (readymade) food, or shelter.
And I won’t have my enchanted diamond armor, my tools, my sword, my composite bow. Oh god, I won’t have bow and arrows! No more potions. And no more big fat walls, that separate order and chaos.
So yeah the gravity of situation hit me.
I have been playing this world on and off over the past three years. Haven’t made it to SFS yet. Didn’t even start villager trading yet. However, my world is quite developed I think, with a few connected (but self-sufficient) bases.
But I hadn’t respawned yet under the “new system”. I was just about to start renovating my main base, when the new updates started rolling out. I didn’t want to suicide, so I just made a new world and played around with that for a few weeks, but in the end I did turn back to my original world.
Sometimes I would watch lets plays and see people sitting in a hole in the ground, starving, with a skelly shooting at them and their campfire would go out. And I would just think to myself: my walls are three blocks thick. I ain’t going out there. That shit looks scary. And now it’s my turn. HAHA
It’s really amazing how this game keeps on giving. I don’t know when I can go back to actually renovating my main base. It will be a while. But that’s okay. I’m really looking forward to the struggle that is ahead. I’m really happy that, although I have to start all over again, I can just keep playing in the same world.
I just needed to share that, just wanted to praise BTW’s combination of survival game, building game and unique respawn mechanic.
