Well I set out from my lovely home built into a hillside and went for a great adventure to the North, with some good equipment, my diamond sword and my trusty compass. After journeying for a while through some winding valleys and across some sandy lake shores I came across some stunning natural scenery.
An absolutely massive lake, completely frozen over with a great pine forest on its banks, the first time I had ever seen pine trees! I decide to camp there for the night, digging out my usual little shelter with a torch and a wooden door. As the dawn came out I went exploring, and hunted down a few Creepers that were wandering the forests. After exploring a few caves and finding some iron and surface lava, I found a dark passageway from which the sounds of clinking skeletons echoed...
I edged forward, bow at the ready, placing torches down every few blocks. I clambered up a small stone shelf and placed a torch down. The light splashed across the empty gaping face of a Creeper only feet away! Made me jump out of my seat. Seriously, who the fuck isn't scared of Creepers?!
After shoving my diamond sword through its slimy green body I edged forward, still hearing skeletons clinking, and I found myself looking into a dungeon, only the second one I have ever found! Five skeletons fired arrows at me, hitting me three times and breaking my steel armour (which was already badly worn). I got out of there with only a few hearts left and having no food in my inventory. I did, however have a fishing rod, which I used to catch about eight fish, and I hunted down a pig which gave me two pork chops. After hollowing out my tiny shelter a little more to allow a furnace, a crafting table and a small chest, into which I stored all my excess items, before cooking all the fish, crafting some new iron armour and storming the dungeon again. After shooting down a pair of skeletons guarding the entrance and rushing another that was hiding behind the corner, I hastily placed down torches all around the spawner and hacked away at it with my pickaxe. After I had broken the spawner I searched the pair of chests that were in the dungeon (always the most exciting part!!!). It wasn't a very good loot, some iron, bread and string... Thanksss...
But oh well.
Right now I'm just sheltering for the night and recovering before I either keep exploring or make my way home, I haven't quite decided.
I love Minecraft :3
