Minecraft: Haunted Cave City.

I was standing in my house, just a tiny cave with a door, as darkness came, it would be too dangerous to go out at night with my damaged weapons. So, I looked inside my inventory to see which items I had collected, I had an almost destroyed wooden sword, a stone pickaxe slightly worn out and some wooden planks. As the night went by I used my pickaxe to mine some of the ore in my cave, by morning, I had a large supply of coal for torches and some iron smelting in my furnace. I went outside with a newly crafted iron sword and went outside to get some food and wood and get started on a farm. I gathered enough wood for a fence and gate, so I looked over at the nearby lake for some seeds, then I had a surprise, a skeleton was shooting at me from a cave! (Monsters can stay in caves and other dark places in daytime, thato s why torches are so important.) I equipped my iron sword and charged at it, being only a weak opponent against a fairly strong sword, it was defeated easily, it dropped some arrows and more interestingly, bones. These bones could be used to make fertiliser for plants to grow much more quickly. I decided to throw it all over the grass, which made more grow instantly. I looked in all the grass and cut it using just my hand, and eventually got about 14 seeds. I then walked back to my cave and crafted a simple stone hoe to till the earth. I crafted a fence and a gate, and placed them around an area by the pond. I then tilled some earth and planted the seeds, planting them near water increases the growth speed. Its also important to build a fence to make sure monsters and animals dono t trample your crops, gates are also needed to get inside the fence. (Animals and monsters cannot open doors, so a gate is needed for a farm.) It was almost dark, so I decided to start walking back to my cave, but then, a sheep walked right by me, so I instantly sprinted back to my cave and, using the leftover iron, made some shears. (If you kill the sheep you only get one wool, so its always best to be kind and make shears.) I went back out and shaved the sheep, I had three wools doing so. I journeyed back to my cave and, after a long time of figuring out how to craft one, I made a bed. I tried to sleep in it, but instead of my character getting in and closing his eyes, a single message appeared: o You cant sleep now, there are monsters nearby!o I knew this would happen because my cave entrance was in the open, and not inside a higher place. I opened the wooden door only to find a spider and zombie charging right at me! They crashed into my cave, trying to get in, but I had used a genius, although normally used, way of keeping monsters away from your bed, simply put a small wall and a hallway so the doors on the other side of the bed and monsters cano t get to you. I still had to defeat them or I would never get out even if daytime did come, since they are already inside a cave, they would just stay there forever. So, I made a small one-block window in the wall and on the other side, the monsters just stared at me. (Actually just walking strait into the wall so it appeared as though they wereno t moving.) I swung my sword and defeated the zombie in just three strikes, then, attacking the spider and blocking its attacks, I defeated it in four strikes and even got some string for doing so. I went back outside, but what I saw surprised me and made me frown. My farm had been attacked my a creeper which blew up the fence, and then a skeleton, just blocks away from it when it exploded, trampled my crops. Using the string, I went back inside and made: a bow. The skeleton had no idea I was shooting at him, I slowly crept up behind him, then I drew back my bow as far as possible, and landed a critical hit on him. He died instantly from the devastating damage. I started to chop down more trees and turn the wood into planks to rebuild the fence, then I used some bones to make more fertiliser, then I chopped through the grass to find more seeds, this time, I was going to use some smarter things to protect my farmo ¦ I heard an echoing whisper underground, indicating I was just above a cave, I started digging some steps down, (Note: NEVER Dig strait down, you might end up falling into a nice pit of lava AND never dig up! You might get suffocated by some sand or gravel that just happens to be above you, if you want to dig up, stand next to the blocks you want to dig.) I ended up falling into a massive underground waterfall! Surprisingly, there was some clay here, almost as if this was some sort of old temple, which I later discovered it to be. Using just my hand to dig it up, I put the clay in my inventory and then travelled on a path leading around the massive waterfall. What I found next was a small farm-like place, this underground place must be an old city, and this must be its crop. I grabbed a watermelon and some seeds, and continued toward the waterfall. I heard another whispering echo, meaning there was an entrance to another cave. I advanced further towards the waterfall, thinking a skeleton on the other side of the cliff will kill me, but I went on surprisingly with little troubles (the strange thing was, skeletons were spawning in the houses but not outsideo ¦ I had not placed any torches.) I suddenly fell, and died from the fall. but I was sure that the blocks in front of me where solido ¦ suddenly I saw something just as I clicked the spawn buttono ¦ A white eyed player.
