WOAH! It has been a LOOONG time since I made one of these blogs. I did mention on several occasions, though, that I was going to continue this series. So, for all of you consistent readers like ItzOrangey, welcome back, and to any new readers, welcome! These blogs are my account of a survival world started in 1.20.1 , where I simply play, and you guys (and girls) can read about it. There is also a world download, for everyone interested, and the texture pack I use in the screenshots is also up for grabs. I hope you enjoy, and let's get right in!

I started playing again, and the nostalgia of my world was amazing. I finished work on the menial tasks of the past, took a moment to take in the sights, and then got to work harvesting my pumpkins. I also bred the cows, sheared the sheep, harvested wheat and worked on carrot farming. Pumpkins are defiantly a useful thing, giving me a lot of emeralds when sold. Farmers will often take 6 pumpkins for 1 emerald, and I enjoy exploiting this mechanic in my loveable villager slave* hall.

*The Villagers work there willingly. They enjoy the work I give them, and do not ever, ever, get punished if not productive.

The next thing I did was travel to the Deep Dark. I wanted to clear this place out a tad bit more and did so using my epic hoe I found in one of its chests. The hoe has efficiency V, Unbreaking III, Mending, and Silk Touch. It is also made of diamond. I found some extra diamonds in the Deep dark, and managed to clear out a shrieker or two... I also managed to evade the dreadful Warden, as well--which is better than what happened last time....

I then decided to visit my pumpkin farm (the automatic one, not the boring hand-harvested one), realising how slow it was, I decided to fix that. I built an expansion, adding in another section for growth. There was one problem. Iron. Iron was a pain in the side, one which I would wish to rectify. I needed to get more so I could finish the hopper system that led the harvested pumpkins to the main collection chest. I dug down to y=-53 and began to mine, and after mining for about half-an-hour, realised that I'd made a mistake. Ever since 1.18 , iron was best found at y=20 . I realised that deeper did not always correlate to more resources and mined at y=21 for only 15 minutes before getting over a stack of raw iron.

I then finished the collection system and decided to fly about with my elytra a bit. I flew but didn't find anything neat besides dual mushroom islands and a stoney beach in the MIDDLE of a bamboo jungle. I might later harvest some bamboo, make a farm for it and get passive bamboo income. Seriously though, a bamboo farm does sound really, really nice right now. I would be able to play around with the recently added bamboo blocks (they aren't recent, are they? They were added about a year ago... is a year relevant? Am I old?).

After that I went searching for pottery sherds in the ocean... I did this for a LONG time, but only found the Blade sherd.

that's about all for this blog. I just got a new mouse, and I can really play MC like a pro. Anyway, I'll see you later, when the next blog gets out S'YA NEXTTIME!!
