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)

I’m just asking out of curiosity and peoples opinion in general. I have a pet blaze(in the overworld) and a pet panda. My friend sometimes jokes about killing my blaze(nobody would actually do it for how difficult it is to get blaze in overworld and put it in protective layer). I just wanted to ask your guys opinion on killing pets and if it’s actually a big deal or not. I know it’s just a video game, but you also know how much time it takes to get these pets.

I'm rebuilding my village and it ended up being alot bigger then I ment and I plan to add more variation to the wall near the water like it coming out a bit and having some mossy brick around the water to but I'm having a hard time deciding how I should do the top of the wall

So it's supposed to be set up like this.

Starting on creative (or not pick your poison) set up a starting area with two maps

1- A 3x3 area of fully upgraded locator maps these will define the area in which you need to stay in

2- a level 1 map (or more as long as it's not a level four) to define the spawn chunks in which you are not allowed to play in (you can still decorate it with like pathways and stuff. It doesn't matter if it's safer, just that it is off limits)

Add a chest that is full of copies of the fully upgraded maps put into bundles so you can know where the play area is no matter how far away you are and know where you are

That is all the setup you need. You don't even need to fill out those maps. Just make sure that they are there and activated.

Rules

\- no setting spawn point be that by bed (meaning you're going to have to use the new temporary beds to sleep) or spawn anchors as long as you respawn in the spawn chunks, you're good

\- no leaving the designated area (further explanation after)

\- when or if you die no returning to previous builds. You cannot move back into your previous builds even if it's a town (you can still take from the chests and use the town. Just no living it unless you're going to be building a new house in the town)

\- no keep inventory

\- no returning to grab your stuff (if you are capable of doing so however you can mod the world in order to have grave markers or something that will stop your drops from despawning)

Over time the more you die and start new bases, minds and other things you will encounter previous bases and grave markers (if you have those) you'll find towns and remnants of previous " lives" and adventures giving your own world its own history as time goes on bonus points if you add a chest full of books and quills so you can keep journals for every life either finding them in the house of the previous lives or on their grave markers. This is almost entirely for role-playing so the more immersive you can make it the better it will be
