Village of “further beautifying got put on hold cuz we’re messing around in the nether” randomness continues. Found a gorgeous cave way north of town that includes a geode.

Welp, there are exactly zero sources of lava and/or obsidian in my one-chunk challenge, so the question of “does going to the nether break the rules” becomes irrelevant. I did get hit by a rather confused Pillager raid though, and had a visit from an invisible sales-dude. The mobs I was hearing during the previous session turned out to be in a very small tunnel, and amusingly enough I got two enderman eyes out of that. Thanks, I’ll... just... put those in a chest with everything else.

Speaking of chests, I ended up with almost three full chests of cobblestone by the time I finished clearing out the chunk. About all that’s left is floors in between levels designated for various purposes, like the unfinished wheat farm, and two tree-growing levels so I can use the top yard for something else. The room with the nicely patterned ceiling was going to be a portal room but I think now I’ll just turn it into an open floorplan living area. Needs a nicer floor first, though. And the big empty space (last pic) is the section between the bedrock mob-spawn area and upper levels because I don’t know what to do with it but I figured I may as well clear all the blocks out and found a little bit of gold in the process. Whoo clocks!

Bedrock is now a monster spawn area if I ever bother to go down there again. I didn’t want to use anywhere that’d get notably damaged by creepers, and there’s not really anything mobs can drop that I can’t live without in a playthrough as limited as this one. My end goals at this point are decking out the living space level, building an observation tower to peep at the outside world, and... getting one more bucket of water, because a cauldron filled with rainwater earlier so we’re one or two more rainstorms away from eternal water.

The promised ship update, and it’s... a little stubby. The masts are way too short, especially the main ones. That project is on pause for the moment as I tend to other things (like having found the End portal with one immediately-poofing ender eye and a crapton of luck). But as it stands, the interior probably won’t change much so have some shots of the galley, first mate’s cabin, navigator’s cabin, and captain’s cabin.

This is where featured side menu tags go to die, though they still technically work just fine. You can reload my tumblr with only content from each retired tag by clicking its link below:

(tag) -- (reason for retirement)

wuthering waves -- quit the game in July of 2026

honkai star rail -- quit the game in spring of 2026

infinity nikki -- quit the game in December of 2025

I feel like this happens more often than it should. Could be my fault too, for purposefully spawning a portal underwater (okay I assumed it would be floating over the water, but the game had other ideas). Gotta get them compass directions in the nether somehow! :D
