With the completion of my world, I get to do something that I've been waiting all this time for.

In much the same way that we used to use cheats such as Invincibility, unlimited ammo, and all weapons, this is akin to me having just a little fun and more than deserved treat of doing something that goes against the grain. While I would have loved to cover everything, unfortunately there isn't a Creative mode and all inventory edit mods are defunt.

What you see is pretty much my entire supply of TNT I've crafted by hand. Rougly a stack and a half. Could have farmed more, but I think this is more than enough.

Thank you, Notch, for so many wonderful years of entertainment. This isn't the end, only the beginning of the next chapter for me. Now that this is done, I can move on to other versions and other games.

Update post: IT WORKED!!!! I have no idea how, but dear god I'm happy that it does because my other option would have been to scour the entire map blindly looking for dungeons.

I've never been so excited in my life. Sure, I could have done this months ago yet I wanted to wear out my world a bit before doing something drastic. Given I'm just missing the green disk now, my museum will be complete in a few hours assuming that I can get the green disk to drop as well.

Got a functional mob farm going. Needs to have some things worked out like knowing the spawn rates and the like, but it'll do for the time-being. Not the prettiest or most efficient, but once I get what I need, I'll find a guide to make it better. The wool there is for me to be in range for things to spawn, there's a hole for the mobs to look through so they will fall into a water trap that sends them down to near death by falling.

It's neat trying to figure out ways of doing things on my own instead of always running to youtube or here to find something that was probably playtested for hundreds of hours.

Hm, I wonder what they'r building here? Could it be a new megastructure or testing out some fencing ideas? Maybe it will be that warehousing they wanted so they aren't going around trying to find some random item that's buried in one of the dozens of chests lying around.

Whatever it is, hopefully it'll turn out alright design-wise. Since I have a couple of days off, going to be working on some projects and hopefully find those music disks. My current plan is probably making some crude mob farm using a box and some water and just praying for some AI luck.

For the first time ever, I've finally used up a diamond pickaxe in my Alpha SSP. I've always either lost it through dying or made a new world. This is a great day for me because I'm over my fear of wasting items for the most part.

Back in the day, I was so perfectionist that I would constanly start over if anything went wrong even in the slightest. The older I've gotten, the more I accept that failure isn't always the worst and sometimes losing things helps you find others.

Despite that, I'll still be using stone pickaxes in the nether because netherrack will chew through even my 2 stacks of iron block supply in minutes.

Some images of the Tower, don't want to spoil what's at the top in case someone wants to explore it.

It reaches the height limit which always puts the modern game into perspective. Might dig out a chunk (16 x 16 to bedrock) but I have done that before so it is a waste of time and exhausing to do. At this point, I'm going to just work on improving my building and redstone skills since those were a few reasons for going back.

Tower of the Sky is almost done. Just need to add a bit more glass and a chest on top. Will post pictures tomorrow. Found another dozen diamonds or so in my wanderings, have far too much iron, got a bit of gold, and still no luck on music discs.

At this point, I might make a giant arena made of obsidian and hope for the best by luring skeletons and creepers around. Should I use a guide or think it might be a waste? I could just keep caving until I find more dungeons, but I'm getting exhausted blndly going around.

Quick, while we're Site Mods, make all teen skins legal

I know it's tempting but whatever you do, don't press any of the moderation buttons that show up on resource pages! It won't be until Tuesday that we'll be back in the office to look at any of this :(

Even though it's only Alpha, it brings aw to something simple like a tower. This is probably several dozen stacks of cobble to build, make the floor out of smooth, and using the cobble to make the slabs

The plan is to build it to world height and put a chest on top with some goodies. The inner cylinder is going to be a lava tube. Not meant to be a challenge, more of a display of commitment to a dumb project that most people could do in a second with WE or VP.

One day, I'll find those disks. Or make a mob box and hope that I'd get lucky with skeleton creeper tag.

It's been a while, but I'm still playing on my Alpha world. Been finishing up a few projects, started a couple more, and intend on getting the last couple items required for my museum.

Please welcome the newest business to my town, Diggit Co.(off to the right)

I'm going to update the world file either later tonight or tomorrow. I want to get a couple things organized first.

Going to be wiping my account best I can here for a fresh start. I'm debating if I want to delete my content too or leave them up, or collect all of them and post as an archive type thing.. I'm not very concerned about the xp or anything, xp can be remade. Just debating how clean of a fresh start I want and what will achieve the vibes better.

Cleaning up my diamonds and favorites is going to take awhile though.... might not do a total fresh.

After many years of starting and putting down, I've finally decided to play Modern Minecraft (current version 1.20.2) and have thoughts. Might make a blog post about it, have found diamonds in my roughly couple hours of gameplay already, an ametheyst Geode, and my first dungeon.

Will wait until I've pretty much done all the things (ED, Wither, Warden, Elytra) before I give any serious thoughts given my nearly 10k hours of Alpha Minecraft.

Taking a break from carving continents to collect some stuff and maybe find the things I still need for my museum.

So far, found two more dungeons. One was right next to the other. Got more pumpkins, roses, and dandilions for a Halloween-themed project I might do.

Any ideas for alpha builds?

Back on my world for a bit to do some random building with materials in ways I rarely create. Nice two level barn thing with double double doors. Found more diamonds, should try to get the two discs I need for my museum.
