Adventures in Minecraft - Part 2

The continuation of my minecraft adventure, I've been exploring in this part. There are number of great natural formations and it does seem like an incredibly promising seed so far! I'm enjoying the water and lava flows out of the mountains.

In the next part I plan on moving to a rooftop home and then off I'll go caving, I really don't expect to find some diamonds but I would like to come back with some arrows/string to make a bow and a load of iron to help me on my way.

A new morning breaks in the world of minecraft

Scary creatures haunt the hills

An awesome looking cliff edge with lava and water flowing down

A look out into the distance, I spot a cave.

Another amazing water flow down the side of the mountain

A close look at the lava flow

A deep pit with some precious resources inside

Night sets in on my second day

My haul for the day

Anyway onwards to the screenshots now!

Adventures in Minecraft - Part 1

Here it is, the start of my new Minecraft adventure. I can't remember the name of the seed I used, I plucked it out of the air and it happened to generate quite an interesting world which you'll see in the coming days.

This post will just cover my first night in Minecraft, I start by finding a place to set up camp for the night, finding basic resources and protecting myself from enemies. I thought it would be cool to go out and get some red wool to make a carpet too so there's a bit of that in there. The first night is just the standard setup but you can begin to see what I hope to do in the coming days as I keep updating.

Anyway here are a few screenshots of the first night just to get the ball rolling, hope you guys enjoy it.

The view from my spawn

A promising Island to explore

Looks pretty good! I have some wood so lets begin

A temporary shelter

Some coal I found on the way to light up the place

The shelter is made, I'll show you inside soon

I ground up some flowers to make red dye.. Red Wool

I've sheared some sheep and have a fair bit of wool now

A cave I found as I was making my way back home for the night

Night time, and my home has some carpet.

It's not much but it will do for now! The next day I go out exploring and see what's happening in the cave, you'll see that in my next update, but that's all for now people.

Minecraft 1.4 and my plans

Well Minecraft 1.4 has made it out into live, Loving the wolves! I've just started a new world and will start posting my sole journey in the world of Minecraft, I'm trying to make a fun and exciting world and really be creative so any suggestions would be welcome.

Hopefully I'll have a new post up tomorrow detailing what I've done so far as I've already started crafting my world and hollowing out a mountain base but I want to expand and truly be 'epic'.

Anyway here is a list of the latest patch notes, the achievements and statistics coming soon do look promising:

* Added tameable wolves
* Added cookies
* Sleeping in a bed now resets your spawn position
* New Minecraft logo
* Holding shift while climbing will hang on to the ladder
* Spiders will no longer trample crops
* Lots and lots of infrastructure for Statistics lists and Achievements
