Exploits and Metaconfusion

New world, new day, new week, new build, old texture pack.

Like otters at play.

I spawned in a swamp again. This tends to happen a distressingly large amount. Like Minecraft is suggesting that I should move to New Orleans, or Florida. Maybe even Wall St. Someplace underwater.

Oooh, BURN!

What's that in the distance though, it looks nice.

That is nice.

Inside that mountain to the right was a vertical hole at least 7x7 blocks. I decided to build my home there.

It's... nice.

Why should I hollow out a rock when I can just box one in?

Now that everything is sealed up it's time to do what I tried to do last time, and failed at. Build an empire! And empires need wood, and sugar, and mushrooms!

I will never have to leave this plantation again!

Look at that, it's working already! Soon the world will be mine! They will never suspect the only sentient living creature in the world who lives inside a mountain to try that! Ha ha!

However, I need stone, and iron! And a chariot of fire! Wait, no, the chariot can wait.

And probably shouldn't be made of fire.

So when digging I found some coal, some iron, and a hole.

Yep, that's a hole.

Then I fell in.

You idiot. I just told you that was a hole!

And I was immediately mobbed by... nothing?

Odd.

Oh well.

I fell directly next to a chasm, which went straight down to a huge lava river.

Hmmm, river of lava joke... Give me a sec.

So I did the only illogical thing and what would probably get me killed. Climbed down to it to explore the other side.

Ooh, redstone! I'm still not surprised.

After gathering some iron, coal, and lapiz, I went back upstairs and ate some chicken I had laying about.

And now I'm hungry.

It's nice to have timers on the status now. Now if only I knew what it did.

After going back down, I decided to mine out the redstone and anything I could find near the river easily. Of course, the easiest way to get across would be to put down some water, but that would require me to put down torches.

I have a better solution. Use wood as a bridge.

This river is just like you, FLAMING, HA! I knew I could get it!

Shut up, snide, yet sometimes insightful comments.

Hey, did you notice that gold when you first took the picture?

No...

That' what I thought. Now take a look at the picture of your inventory.

Wait, how did I get in here?

It's odd that I haven't encountered a single enemy, I did create a hardcore game yes?

HELP, HELP! I'm trapped in the picture comments! Also, yes that's hardcore mode.

Odd, I should have encountered enemies right now... WAIT.

Oh, honestly? Notch. Did this happen?

Yes, it happened. Exploit located. If you play a hardcore game right after a normal one on which you set the difficulty to peaceful, it is dumb and prevents monsters from spawning.

 So, now that I figured that out, let's go stab something!

Good work, you killed a creeper with a wooden sword. After exploding the first one. We can see your health.

Sssssssss.

He's angry because I was killing his friends.

...

Apparently I built my house next to a creeper nest.

Oh my.

Then it started raining.

Thankfully, this picture will keep me dry.

Thankfully, this armor will keep me dry.

Tch. Too bad it only provides 7.5 armor now, wise guy.

Now I'm in a desert!

Stop jumpcutting on the readers!

I was gathering sand to make glass, and maybe some TNT. This is probably sufficient, I expended two iron shovels to get this lot.

Pretty waterfall though.

It is nice, isn't it.

Have a sunset

That is NICE.

And now a cactus farm.

Just because you CAN grow everything, doesn't mean you SHOULD.

That's okay, I've entered the industrial age of minecraft!

Pfft, 7 furnaces? Come back when you have 16.

I'm distracting you with pretty pictures!

Ooh, pretty.

While changing my roof out for glass, I started spawning arrows around me.

Are you sure it's you? Maybe it's me.

Oh, no, it's note me.

Well, now he's dead. Cool bory, sto.

I don't know what you're talking about so have some Scootaloos.

That's a lot of eggs.

Sheep!

 Finally! I've looked for them long enough! Finally, I've teched up to beds!

...Wait.

Shut up and go to sleep.

That's it for today, folks! It's already a long and boring post, and I didn't even die at the end. Hopefully I'll be able to find some diamonds soon and actually create an enchanting table.

Bah-bye!
