Sunday Slowrun

 Lava at -600,,52 (-69,,6)

hEADING ssw 19 chunks 

heading for -401,,-225

found bastion, found fortress, in two hours.  AND.

I saw lots of mobs at night when I wanted to throw first pearls, so I crafted a bed to sleep through the night quickly ................. in the nether.

Blown up!  Intentional game design got me on a good run!

died to a piglin 

 

new world

-6,71, 88 nether

aiming for 440z for fort

AIMING for 121,,453 for fort

-107.8   -108.6

crud.  

I didn't sleep in my safety bed!!!! I did so good finding a bastion and a fortress despite my pie ray not really working.  Got to the end, stronghold was way farther than I thought.  Shooting the last crystal, I got knocked into the sky and misplaced my mlg bucket.  I woke up... in the village I found near first spawn...  booooohooooo

I even made a safety bed and put it in the portal room!  sheesh.

I was at 2.32 hours.  I would have beat my pb.

another relaxing evening

 got a village quick, with lava to the east.

portal at -173,,-374 (-28,64,-32)

bastion e-raying: entity distance to 500%, add M and C, compare to the entity fraction at the top of the screen.  There would be about 30 more entities per bastion in the loaded area.  Then narrow the fov to get a heading.

I got a glitch and there were no blocks dropping when I mined gold or blocks in the bastion.  Now the game isn't saving so I bet I have to reset.

too bad!

wow.  I got the game working again.  found fortress, but not with the help of the pie chart.  that thing is still a mystery to me.

Died in the spawner room!  I'm one hour in.  If I plan and go there carefully, I can get a pb probably.  

I went straight west from the treasure bastion, just into the basalt delta area, followed some bridges and down one set of stairs.  Good luck future me.

next day: 

Collected everything a few times.  Threw it all into a lava sea.  end of story.


New world:

portal (34,,18)

nearest bastion was about 25 chunks away on bad terrain.  

died in basalt delta of course.


new world:

166,,-37

done.  2.43 hours.

pb and late night.

used e-ray AND pie-ray!  I even used pie-ray in the stronghold and it told me the spawner was close.

phew.

feels like an accomplishment.

evening relaxation

 I have an evening without too many commitments.  

Therefore, the search for lava is on.

-296,,107 portal in nether

Then I used e-raying successfully to find a stables bastion.  died there.  

Came back, used e-raying again to find a treasure bastion.  Haven't died there yet.  Need food!

dead

this is getting so easy!

 I bet I can beat minecraft in under 2 hours if I don't screw up.

lava pool -249,,419 (-33,75,56)

FORTRESS VISIBLE SOUTH OF -323,42,237 (so about -330,,350)

another fortress visible north of -237,,-316.  

I'm walking past a fortress at     -73,,-297.  A different one?

and another one!! at 177,,-260.  maybe same one?  big one?

i'M IN a housing bastion at 269,,327.  Supplied up and ready to go to a fort, but I'm out of time.  in a few days when I come back?  

I'll head north 500 blocks.

FAIL


New try

portal in nether -250,,-100 (basalt delta)

FAIL


New try

Portal in nether  -84,,-984

found a bastion, treasure.  raided it twice by necessity.

ran for miles to find a fortress.  I'm in position to run to the spawner.  I have the juice and maybe I should make a new axe first.  Have blocks handy for wither skeletons.

got blaze rods!

Maybe I should just portal from here, not worry about finding my previous one.  Not much stashed there anyway.

ack! 

I portalled to the overworld, at night in a lightning storm.  Got zapped and beaten by zombies.  respawned at my other portal, and I don't remember which way I went to find the fort!!!

174.7, 173.8

125 blocks

156, 158.5

stronghold at 2465,,-11720

running south to buy another blaze rod.  must find previous portal... again.

5.34 hours.  A pb for me.
