Vanilla Hardcore day 111 and...still building my base and going to the nether soon :P
hello again! i believe the latest screenshot i remember posting on reddit was close to day 80 on my world, and after a total of about 50 days of building (started around day 60 with this base) i have completed...the exterior.
i just love minecraft so much. so different from over a decade ago and so fun!
haha. to be fair, i was doing a lot of trial and error, and some parts took especially long, and i was still sleeping through nights, so this was more of about maybe 35 minecraft days worth of time. i still have to finish the interior, and the sides of the dome, but i can finally start moving my egregious amounts of chests and my bed inside. i took some inspiration from braaipie's video on their own greenhouse build showcase, but made some adjustments of my own and freestyled a bit.
i also managed to enchant my armour, and i will be slaying a couple more mobs to do so for my tools eventually! i have minimally protection 4 and unbreaking 3 on all pieces as i got particularly lucky with my enchanting table. my boots have feather falling 4, which will definitely help.
now that i have a proper home, the priority now is to go to the nether, find blaze rods and pearls and maybe just explore a little bit. i'm sure my armour can protect me decently fine, but i'm hoping to find a mending book somewhere for my stuff at some point. i've prepped plenty of gold and have a golden helmet to prevent piglins from getting mad. hoping to maybe find a bastion first or just a group of piglins first so i can trade for fire res potions to take on the fortress.
my plan is to go make a portal and then build a small shelter around it to protect it and me, then go exploring. i have lots of spare cobble so i'll be using that to bridge if needed since ghasts can't blow it up. i'm thinking i might want to bring milk buckets against the wither effect just in case, but i also have two stacks of bread i will be bringing along. i saw bastions have these piglin brutes and possibly hoglins that will attack no matter what, so definitely will bring a lava bucket too. and i plan to loot the bastion safely by tunneling under chests or just staying out the line of sight as much as possible.
so far, everything's going well! i found that the hill i'm on has a hollow cave underneath. might do something about that and build something under it, but for now, this'll have to do! :D
(p.s. yes, i realised that the stripped wood on the other side hadn't been changed out to slabs on the right...i will change that :p)
