I've never been one for extreme Dungeoneering but I found that until I can get mods, I need to craft things the old hard way. I need TNT to hallow out a mountain and for that I need sulfur. Also, I need string for fishing rods and bows. I'm starting to go out at night, let the monsters spawn, go to sleep, and in the day hunt. But now I have hit a dead end. The last monster I killed was a spider and I haven't seen anything in a long time. I have the difficulty on Hard because I'm reassured now.
It may have been from my own doing, before I wasn't into Hunting, I had an X-ray Texture Pack to see minerals and dungeons. And before that I Dungeoneered old school. There weren't that much dungeons to begin with though. This was starting to be a little annoying, I regret all those times while spider-jockeys and creepers waltzed around my cobble-stone wall.

If you have any tips or advice, I would much appreciate it.

Also I would be happy if you did anything in ways of rating on my post(s) (except for flag please!)
