Just a quick start
-700.,-1800 is the fletcher's house in teh village I found. I don't really need to trade though since I already have a treasure and shipwreck and a bonch of food.
I'll need to find a lava pool or go digging. I went digging and only found a large cave so far, with no lava pool. I will have to go deeper.
found lava. Portal coords Over: -664,,-1744 Nether: -83,,-218
Surprisingly, there was a fortress under my portal. and a blaze spawner 20 blocks away. I dug a tunnel and killed them in a safe spot. Only one death in there before getting 9 rods. I have done a bit of bartering, but no pearls or spiderwebs yet. I'll have to look for a blue forest. I also have not got enough obsidian to make a portal somewhere else.
But. With this luck I'm going to break a record. 1 death and 1.71 hours so far.
I walked a long way in the nether to find a warped forest. Did not find. I did find a bastion, probably Hoglin Stables, but got thoroughly killed before getting inside. I will not bother going back.
So I'm in the village above ground, trying to trade with stubborn fletchers (three of them now) to get enough emeralds to level up the cleric to sell me pearls. I have him ready now, but the value of sticks has gone down to 41 per emerald!!!
Anyway. Tomorrow's job will be to see if there is clay in the lake. If so, I'll hire a mason and sell him my clay for emeralds. and see if the fletchers ease their prices.
I hired another fletcher and this one seemed to have an unlimited stick appetite. So I traded with him and the cleric to get 13 pearls, and a bunch of arrows. Now i'm set up to head for the stronghold next time I have time.
Meanwhile I'm cooking up enough iron ore to make one set of armor.
47.2 says the first eye. -146 Says the second.
Now i'm in the bottom of a large ocean, throwing pearls back and forth. hm.
I decided just to dig down. Just past the deepslate I broke into a giant cave with lots of lava, water, and greenery. I went in there, planning to throw an eye and dig for the stronghold. So I went into a corner, planning to kill the monsters from a sheltered spot where I wouldn't get shot. But I was overrun by zombies and died there in the corner. and unfortunately respawned at 0!
Using the coordinates in the notes here, i found the village, and using the angle from before, I went on the ocean and noticed the same ocean monument as before. I remembered that I could hear the guardians shooting from in the cave, so I decided to dig close to there. Died by guardian on first attempt.
-1160,,-1335 is the coords of the hole in the bottom of the sea that i'm using for second attempt recovery mission. By the way, the stronghold is there. But not the giant cave where I lost all my ender eyes. :( And, I died at the ocean floor now, when I started to search the area for my previous dig. I think there should be a door sitting there from that time. Or at least nearby. w
I'm trying again at recovery from deep cave: now at -1206,,-1311.
Well, that was it. But, my hard earned stash is absent.
The plan now? Should I quit and start fresh? Or use my blaze factory and find gold in the nether again?
Decided to continue. I got 8 blaze rods already, and one eye. All I need to do is find about 20 endermen to kill, and then I can go where I already know the strong hold is. Tomorrow.
-12,,-308 dead again. I just realized I can hit f3 after dying to locate my position!
Yesterday was bad! I had 3 painful deaths. I searched in -z direction for warped forest. Found a new fortress but no blue trees. Died three times in that area. I collected lots of food twice and lost most of it. I need to find some pearls and get out of there!
1. try going x axis instead of z
2. go overworld along x axis at least 1000 blocks and reenter nether there
3. go onto the flats near my portal (-z) and mine nuggets like crazy, trade until I get pearls
4. use my fletcher/cleric duo again. Now the cleric is levelled up, all i would need is to get about 60 emeralds to buy 12 pearls.
I think option 4 might be most efficient in this case. a bit boring though.
Also, I could go to the stronghold first, find the portal room and count how many eyes will be needed. Maybe I don't need 12 eyes.
I will need 9 eyes.
I got one from a chest, and 2 in a cave. I think there are a couple in the overworld nether portal chest. Also I got a bunch of clay - maybe I can hire a mason to get emeralds.
When I come back - need to mark starter staircase location and go back home.
Done. The stonecutter and fletcher gave me enough emeralds to get eyes. Including ones in the basement I should have more than 9.
I need to buy a bunch of arrows, or trade in nether. Food, then ready to go!
Done!
23 deaths, 0.59 days played=14.16 hours!
Crazy. I had blaze rods within 2 hours. Now, 12 hours later I got my eyes and finished the dragon. It would have been faster if I didn't lose all my eyes of ender in that cave midway through. :)
Other observations:
7 days irl
I used beds on the enderdragon! about 4 of them. They are dramatic! and you can't crouch when you detonate them.
I climbed straight up the towers this time instead of making stairs. Went up three of them and from there could shoot all the rest. I probably could get away with only climbing the caged ones.
