I've been a player since the Beta update, and have had lots of fun since. I remember my 5x5x3 hut, the first tree i punched down, and most importantly, my first night. I heard lots of zombies and skeletons. Morning struck the next few minutes, and I was glad. The baddies burned in the light. I was safe. Or so I thought. I walked out of my house, and heard footsteps. I thought it was a pig.

I was wrong.

I heard a sizzle. I turned to see a tall green thing. It blew up, killed me, and took a chunk out of my little hut. I was puzzled. I thought to myself: What could survive daylight? I looked in the minecraft wiki, and searched through the mobs page. I found a picture of the creature's face. "A creeper?" I said. I learned about this "Creeper". I was also thinking: "I might as well look at other stuff," so, I did. I looked under ores.

The search for diamond was on.

I found iron about 10 to 15 minutes later. I kept looking. I started mining under me. Golden rule #1 was broken. I fell into a cavern. It was a massive, roomy one. More iron and coal. I kept looking. I heard some zombies, but I wasn't worried. Until I saw skeletons. 3 of them. Arrows were flying. Damage being taken. I killed them off. Half a heart. I forgot to stock up on porkchops. I saw something in the dark. Something green.

Creeper.

It started chasing me. I ran. I hit it one or two times. I punched him into a deep part of the cave. I killed my first creeper! I dug deeper into this cave. i found some red stuff. Redstone. I was excited. I still went deeper. I hit bedrock. i dug into the wall, kind of strip mining. it was probably and hour, maybe longer. I found more redstone. more cobblestone. I dug in more. Iron. Behind it,

My first diamond.
