Patel Plays...

Steve, defender of chickens.

The sun sets on another beautiful day in Minecraft.

Little baby lamb doesn’t seem to mind that I killed his parents and he decides to follow me around. We can be best friends...until I need more wool.

Viewing the world from the top of a dirt pillar in Minecraft. I can survey the breadth of the jungle that I spawned in. If you look just behind me and to the right, you’ll see the roof of my little house in the meadow.

I have the high ground. The zombie stays wet. Glub glub.

A Minecraft phantom flames out.

So maybe it’s time to head back inside until all these mobs get finished off with some epic sunburn.

A phantom swoops down from above just as night comes to an end and the sun rises in the East. I’ve been mining underground so much that I forgot to sleep. Well, that and I haven’t built a bed yet. But Imma gonna get on that soon. Right now though, I have to deal with flying death from above.

It’s night and that means it’s time to defend my house in the meadow from the relentless hordes of Minecraft mobs, like these mean zombies.

Sure, I can fight with skeletons but I can also give them a hug.

Waiting for a skeleton to round the corner. I found him while digging and mining deep in a cavern below my meadow house. I really don’t like skeletons with their nasty bows and arrows.

Mining deep in a cave underneath my meadow house in Minecraft. I found this cavern while looking for coal and iron just underneath the house.

My little meadow house at the end of the afternoon. I’m deep down below, busy mining away for iron and coal, but feeling a little sad.

A creeper watches with interest as I’m chopping down a dark oak tree near my meadow house in Minecraft. He walks a little closer to get a better view...wait, this is not going to end well.

The wind blowing fiercely in front of my tiny little cottage in a meadow. It’s an ok place to live.

I’m feeling a little sad and staring at my shoes. It’s been a long day of mining in the cavern deep below my meadow house and I’m no closer to getting the silk enchant for my pickaxe than I was when I started.

I’m posing in my brand-new set of iron armor while standing in front of my still unfinished meadow house. I mined enough iron to make a complete set of armor and an iron sword. It’s not as sexy as diamond or netherite, but it will keep me alive when fighting mobs. I’ll need it here on the outskirts of the dark oak forest, where lots of creepy things dwell.
