Day 002

Entry 4: The Second Day

I survived the night! I had to fight off one of the creatures of the night with my wooden pick axe, but I pulled through! The day is young and this new house needs to be built.



Entry 5: A Hard Days Work

I spent the whole day gathering and placing wood for the foundation of my new home. It's all starting to come together, but sadly I must retreat once again, night is coming quick.

Day 001

Entry 1: The New World


I arrive at the beach of some unknown land with nothing but a sense of adventure to guide me. As I look around I notice that this new land is fertile and great for starting a new life here.

I can't help but sense danger underneath my feet...


Entry 2: Sand is Greater than wood.

I soon realize that wood is the first essential building block i need to start my new life. If memory serves me correctly, wood can be found in trees. With sand block in hand, I attempt to chop down my first tree so that I may gain access to this valuable resource.



Success!! Now that I have wood, I can build a workbench that I can use to create more elaborate tools to help me mine more resources.




My First Tool: The Splintery Wooden Pick axe!


With new tool in hand, I can start creating the foundation for my new settlement, but I must be careful, the day is coming to a close, and I dare not be stuck out in the night with no shelter.



Before the day was over, I was able to plot out where my new house will be. It may not look like much now, But I can see the endless possibilities in my head.


Entry 003: The First Night

I was able to complete a crude shelter out of dirt before night completely fell. It isn't much, but it should keep me safe through the night.


As I stand in my shack (there is only enough room for me to stand and do nothing else), I can hear the noises of creatures all around me. Maybe it is just my imagination. I just hope I can survive the night to live another day.

The World Made of Blocks

This blog was created for the sole purpose of documenting my exploits in a little game called Minecraft. For those who don't know, Minecraft is a game that is widely popular despite it's tiny development team and simple design. It's a little hard to explain what the game is about, but simply put it's about mining and crafting, and fighting zombies. The website does a little better job of explaining it.

So without making this intro too long, Welcome to the World Made of Blocks.
