Cooking at 451//700. I'll go for a jaunt around in the dark to find lava.
Lava pool found at 638//411! And a ruined portal on the trip there! Now I have a gold block and gold pants. All set for nether, first night.
Nether location of portal is 90/42/45.
I almost ruined my lava pool with water overflow. I think it was a glitch - when I placed the water a second time, it didn't overflow.
Nether: -41,70,-25 from here I can see a fortress straight to the neg z. also a high number of piglins, so I'm going to get my gold and trade it in on the way to the fortress.
Got the gold. I'm set with gold ingots to barter, cobble blocks to build/shelter, diamond sword for blazes, lava bucket for brutes if needed, wood, and steak.
For tomorrow.
Next day:
Fortress entry at 5,64,-85. Not much food. I can't burn the nether trees, but if you make them into sticks, they burn.
Shoot. I got one fire res from trading. using it fighting blazes. Doing ok. Then killed by wither skeleton while fighting them! Don't know how I'll get my stuff.
107,,223 there's a bastion of some kind. I got fed up with trying to get my stuff at the fortress and wandered the other way. I'll check what kind of bastion, and save it for tomorrow.
Stables bastion. I'll need a piece of gold armor, a lava bucket, and blocks. and a boat.
Next day. I stocked up on some stuff. I'm in the bastion, killed 3 brutes already. found 2 chests. Traded some gold to the piglins here. tomorrow I'll try exploring some more and try not to die again.
Sunday: I think I'll stash my valuables in the visible chest in the back here, then explore a bit. I'll keep a lava bucket, a boat, some blocks, and some food, a pickaxe. and an axe.
-31//314 I found another fortress. This one is not crawling with exposed blazes. I think I may be able to get in there and have them in a more controlled environment. I did get one fire res. from bartering. This will be my way to the end. Although, I have no ender pearls yet. I made a small base at the bottom of the fortress pillar with a chest and crafting table.
I left myself standing in the lava well room. I'm exploring the halls to my left hand, and marking with cobblestone and gravel where there is a dead end. I'm facing to the new area (partly explored to the left). I think I'll shoot blazes, until I kill 10, then use fire res to collect blaze rods and kill a few more.
I got 9 blaze rods just swinging the sword with 1 fire res!
Now to find ender pearls. Pearls before swine, as they say. I've got blocks, food, sword and axe, boat. I'll go hunting for endermen in the nether. If that's not productive, I'll start traveling to the stronghold and hope for a village to trade at and get pearls from the cleric. Maybe arrows too.
I'll have to grab some glowstone dust to multiply my meager arrow supply.
Ender eye (i had just one) pointed me toward -107 degrees. I'll head that way and hope to find a village for trading.
I'm working the village for emeralds. Going to hire a cleric to get pearls.
Wow this village sucks. Or I the village patron/guardian suck. My fletcher and cleric combo got zombified because I stayed up too late. My new fletcher and cleric don't restock very often. I have only 3 pearls so far.
I built another portal. I guess I'll have to go enderguy hunting again and hope for a warped forest. But, that's a story for another day.
Village is at 2881,,-854. in case I get lost or something.
367,,-105 is my new portal's nether coords.
That worked pretty well. Found a warped forest near the new portal. Got 9 more pearls for a total of 12. Stocked my inventory for stronghold and end. Next day I'll travel, find the stronghold, search for the end portal, tower up to smash a beacon, put up some barriers so I can stand there and shoot other ones, test the bed exploding idea, blow myself up more than likely, and have fun.
37.6 degrees to stronghold. But i forgot to grab a bed.
2404,,-107 is where the eyes took me. I lost about 3 eyes while looking. Hope 9 is enough! Need to get some water for my bucket!
Done it!
18 deaths, 12.48 hours. btw when you take more than 12 hours, the statistics are given in days. ie 0.52 days in this case.
I went back in and blew up one bed to see what it felt like. Pretty dramatic actually. blows up a good hole in the end stone. I used one crying obsidian to block the blast and that stayed put. I think it would be good to place the bed on one as well, so the platform would stay there for a second blast if I survived the first.
Also, I waffled between towering straight up to get up the pillars and making a spiral staircase. Probably more effective to tower, and then pearl down or use water. or a boat. and if needed, I could tower back up to collect my inventory like I did today once. And if I use end stone to make little mini pillars at the top, it's hard for endy to end me.
