[NO NO NO NO Ah Dang It Why Did I Even Do That!?]

 

So; today's been interesting. Played a ton of Minecraft on my new world to test out some modifications, and got about 15 diamonds today alone(Everywhere I looked seemed to have them; and no, that wasn't part of the mods, that was genuine. =P). So, after doing that and therefore having 19 total, not dying at all in that world, and getting to about level 44-ish, in terms of EXP; I decided to lava mold myself a Nether Gate.

 

All went well; I entered, and immediately heard a ghast and built a base out of the Cobblestone I had brought for bridges. Went outside, tried and failed to play Dead Man's Bluff(Or whatever the name's called) with the ghast ala Zelda, repaired some of the damage to my platform, and eventually decided to enclose my portal. Ran outta cobblestone. Went back to my base in normal world. Grabbed more cobblestone. Ran back into my gate. Heard a ghast. Proceeded to run forward through the portal instead of backwards, running right off the platform into what apparently was lava, but seemed to be an actual platform to me. 0_o So, yeah, first death of the game gets credited to the ghast chasing me, with the assist going to my utter lack of direction. =P

 

So; I respawned, not realizing everything I had had at the time, but shrugging it off since I left the important stuff at home. =P Grabbed more cobble, and dodged the ghasts, as I promptly sealed THAT side off. Because that was just a stupid death. xD So, I then decide that I've already died once, and I might as well keep trying, so I go out into the open, and finally see the ghast that was shooting me(Or, rather, one of them). The problem is that I have to have my settings on tiny so to not crash the game, so I can barely see even the silhouette. So, I see it, track it, and realize how the reflection works. "ACHIEVEMENT GET!" That did the trick. =P

 

After that, I'm feeling even braver, so I go out to get what fell. I ignore the drop, since there was Netherrack, and it wasn't that far. I then proceed to make a bridge out there. So far so good, no ghast's tears, that sorta fun stuff. I explore a bit; but don't see any fortresses, unfortunately. So I gather some Soul Sand, and start to head back. Lo and behold, another ghast. Shooting at me. So, I decide to be tricky; I walk backwards. Bad move, there was fire. And I was starting to get hungry. And the fire was slowly killing me. Somehow I managed to eat and not die. =P So, I try to finish my bridge, since I had jumped when things shot at me earlier. =P

 

Needless to say, that was intriguing, as I was both reflecting the blasts I could get(Killed one of them during that stand, though two more replaced it. =P), and trying to both finish the bridge, and reinforce it with railings so it didn't blast me into lava. Everything surprisingly went well, made a platform at the bottom, and got a two brick high railing on either side of my three-wide bridge(Which turned it into one wide, but I didn't care, as that was the ORIGINAL size, as I was making my way over there. =P). Except, I ran outta cobble halfway through. That was not fun, but somehow I managed to dash(Not literally, of course, thankfully due in part to the third modification I was testing, the first two being Optifine and the Minimap) across to safety, without anything shooting at me. I even scaled the cliff, and got back through the portal, without anything attempting to kill me. I'm a little worried about that, I may wait before going back through next. =P

 

So, earlier in this, I mentioned about the items I lost? Yeah, I remembered my inventory(Or at least the majority of it) after.

 

1-3 Iron Picks(I forget how many)

1-3 Iron Shovels(Same)

Roughly 2 Iron Swords

1 Bow

50-something arrows

Tons of torches

Lots of sticks

Probably a full stack of coal(Not that that mattered, I had like 10 of those. =P)

7 buckets(6 full of milk and one of water)

Full set of Iron Armour, nearly broken

 

I think that's it, since I dashed off the platform before even TRYING to get Netherrack from destroyed things. xD Kinda painful, but I have like 4 full stacks of iron. =P

 

So yeah, that's the summary of my misadventure in the Nether. =P I don't like the layout of it for me. ._.; Too much stuff to kill me. xD I'm just glad I didn't anger any Pigmen, unlike on one multiplayer server I was on a couple months back. =P

No, I'm pretty good at working electronics and circuits 'n stuff like that. Redstone will NEVER make sense. NEVER.

 

What I've seen of it, yeah.

 

Jeeze, just go find an extreme hills biome already. :P

Hmm, I see, okay then. =P Maybe the redstone update will fix that when it breaks everything at the same time? =P

 

Yeah, and it definitely gets better as it goes. And when you consider how old the series(And the game version at that point) is, then it's even more amazing. As you progress, you'll also realize why I got the ideas I've been getting. =P

 

I've been trying, it's not exactly an easy task; I've just found jungles, forests, and plains so far. I think my current base is halfway across the world from where I'd find it. I so want to get to one of those biomes, though, since aside from that, I can start to recreate Emerald Hill Zone and Green Hill Zone. Well, not immediately, since I'd need to do major improvements, but it'd be on my list of things to do. =P

Redstone update? Is that the next one? (Obviously not been paying attention to many updates.)

 

Ahh, so you're just copying everything he did? :P

 

You been making sure to make occasional landmarks to make sure you find your way back?

Yeah, 1.5. It should have a new redstone system and a new rendering system. The latter I'm kinda worried about, since it's apparently going to be based of OpenGL 2.0, and I don't think my laptop can run 2.0. =/

 

Nah, not everything; I just get inspired, since they're some good ideas, like the mineshaft idea. =P

 

Well, the good thing about this world, is that I've been playing with the mod 'Rei's Minimap', which allows you to set waypoints. I've been using those a lot, and that's how I've been able to find my way back so far.

Uh-oh... You might want to keep a copy of this version hidden so that if your laptop can't run it, you can just use the current one.

 

Ahh...

 

Well yeah, but what about when it needs to be updated? You'll be stuck out in the middle of nowhere without any idea where your house is. :P

Oh yes, I definitely plan to save the jar elsewhere. =P

 

But I will admit that some ideas have originated from there, like me wanting to make a sky bridge. =P(The sky castle I want to make comes from a server I was on, though. =P)

 

I'll just look for the base in the jungle near the ravine near the quarry near the house on the hill. =P(All of which, note, are like 1 mile from each other. xD) Alternatively, follow the torches. Eventually I'll find my way back. =P I think Rei's been good at keeping it up to date; hopefully it'll be updated shortly after 1.4.6 releases. It's always a gamble, but eh. =P I'll probably start a world for that nightly series if it takes a little while to update, though; and not rely on the minimap AS much. =P

:P

 

Ahh, sky-castles are awesome. Especially when you realize that they look like the helicarrier when you finish building them. :P

 

Or you could just take a ton of netherrack, the same amount of stone, and a flint&steel and make your own landmarks. :P

I'll probably do that before the 1.4.6 update, too. =P(Once I get wind of it, I'll backup the jar before I log in. =P)

 

Yeah, very true. The only problem is figuring out how to get into it. =P

 

That's true. =P I do have Netherrack currently, after all. And will likely have more later tonight, when I go on my Nether run. =P

Smart.

 

Easy, you build a refueling platform with a large ladder leading up to the main part.

 

I've found that since I can't get my hands on Rei's Minimap that Netherstone beacons work pretty well.

Link to comment
Blessed Blade

That way, I can attempt to keep some not up to date. =P

 

Hmm, true. I'd need tons of glass for the ladder, though, otherwise I'd fly off to my death. xD

 

I want to try the literal beacons eventually, but that requires me to not die in the Nether first. xD

Blessed Blade

And done. =P

 

Actually, that's a good question. I forgot that the castle would already create a skelly haven. xD

 

Good idea. Though the 'killing tons of withers' might be a harder idea. =P

Mad Scientist BioBeast

:P Not to mention most refueling stations' ladders are connected to the ground, so it wouldn't really cause any problems if you made it solid.

 

It's your idea, I was simply telling you what was necessary in order to actually activate the beacons. :P

Blessed Blade

That's true as well.

 

Ah, right, I forgot where that discussion was going for a moment there, I thought you meant you. =P I may have to recruit help for that fight. xD
