Nov 23 Testing out MC 1.16.1

 Everyone mainly speedruns 1.16.1.  I'm going to give it a go.

Found lava pool in the desert at about 813,,750.

There's also a village in sight northeast of here.

NETHER portal location 112,53,103 (over:813,,750)

Wow.  1.16.1 is so easy compared to 1.21.  I went into the bastion nearby and once I had some gold armor, it was a little walk in the park.  I traded and got 18 pearls in one round.  And 5 fire res!  

I now need to find a fortress and pick off some blazes.  tomorrow.

I did it! I did it! 

I tried E-raying for the fortress but that seemed useless.  So I aim for -200,,200, just to be in the middle of a quadrant (not the bastion one).  and lo and behold there was a fortress.  I used the fire res to get 6 blaze rods from strays, then threw a splash potion away and didn't get any.  arg.  I wish I would pay more attention to the bottle.  anyway I killed a couple more strays and found my way back!

funny thing on the way.  I found a ruined portal in the nether, and had enough obsidian to light it up.  I appeared in midair about 10 blocks above the middle of an ocean.  about 2000 blocks from my target!  So I went back through the portal and it only took a couple of minutes nether travel.  

tomorrow, find the stronghold and attack!

26.7 degrees from portal.

.7 diff between throws.  is about 1500 blocks away.  Aiming for Z coord of about 1775, then recheck.

got killed in a desert temple at 72,,1692.  arg.

im in stronghold at 97,,2143

end portal at 65,23,2139

but I ran out of blaze powder and it was a zero eye!

got blaze rods, took the goofy portal back.  it's at -1366,,1843.  so it might not save any time.
