Sammy's Minecraft adventures

This page is about all the crazy things that have happened in my 1st Minecraft world.

Finding my home-

I decided to live in a village, and found a blacksmith to call my own nearby. It was right next to a desert I would eventually plunder, a tundra, and many other villages. I made a nether portal and went through to find myself right in front of a fortress.(pre 1.16) I found several diamonds there, which made most of my early diamonds. My swords 1st use was against an Enderman intruding on my lawn. I later found a random Ender Pearl next to a small lava pool in the Nether, which must have come from a very unfortunate Enderman out on a walk.

Finding the stronghold-

After many days I finally got enough Eyes of Ender to find the stronghold. I swam across an entire ocean and found it under another village. I made many tunnels to the portal room before I just made a staircase to the surface. I didn't plan on killing the Enderdragon on my first trip, so I just took some iron armor and tools. I made a bridge out of cobblestone to the main island, and got knocked off by the dragon. Somehow, I landed on the edge of the island and survived. I was constantly getting mugged by Endermen, and didn't have a great plan to destroy the crystals. I would build up, get knocked off several times, destroy the crystal while standing right next to it, jump to my doom, and come back to get my stuff. After that, I realized the Bedrock Enderdragon regains all its health when you die. I realized that around 20 times. Eventually I got tired of constantly dying, coming back, and finding all the damage gone. I decided to come back with full netherite gear later.(This was before I realized how uncivilized netherite was to try taking diamond's title of best material.)

Defeating The Wither-

I spent some time trying to get wither skeleton skulls, and briefly thought of using charged creepers, but gave up on that idea. I eventually got all the skulls, and made a tunnel under the stronghold to fight The Wither. Only problem was The Wither wouldn't follow me and kept spinning in place. Eventually I just released it on the now empty stronghold village. The Wither was surprisingly easy, and I already had a full pyramid of iron for the beacon, which I had been building since I started the world. Once I had full netherite, and the best enchantments I could get, I returned for a rematch with the Enderdragon.

Slaying The Enderdragon-

Even though I had full netherite, and Protection IV, just 2 seconds in the pools of Dragon Breath took a quarter of my health. The Endermen still wouldn't leave me alone, but I eventually killed the Enderdragon, and celebrated. But as hard as my heart was pounding, the End islands put it to shame.

My closest call-

The End islands were where I would find the Elytra, but I had to bridge hundreds of blocks to find it. If I fell, I would lose the items I had worked so many months to get. Miraculously, I didn't fall. The End cities were easy to deal with, and after many hours of near heart attacks, I finally got the Elytra and went home.

From a simple town to a fortress-

My home village started as a normal town, but over the months I turned it into a city. Once I accidentally opened my door with a bucket of lava, burned it down, and died. I didn't lose anything, and rebuilt the house with stone brick. I made a quartz storage area at the back, and decorated the outside in pillager banners. I "borrowed" some villagers from a nearby town since mine was empty, and dedicated 2 spare houses to store them. When I started raids, I sealed the houses with fence gates, and piston doors to keep the villagers safe. There were many times the last pillagers were hiding, and once I got stuck in a cave with a ravager. I lived, somehow. I eventually changed my house again to nether bricks and the red kind. After raiding an ocean monument, I built a prismarine tower on my storage tower. I walled off the city to keep the mobs out, and built a throne room under my house. While I was still using iron items, I had some armor stands holding, well, armor so I didn't have to craft a new set every time my old one broke. There was also a room built out of blue ice, a brewing room, a second nether wart farm, and a place to fill water bottles. I built my throne out of gold, emerald, diamond, and a netherite block for the seat. I also had an ancient debris, netherite scrap, netherite ingot, and a second netherite block in a chest just so I could say I have every netherite item. After finding several Hearts of the Sea, I decided to build 3 conduits next to my sugar cane farm as a show of wealth. There was also a bamboo farm, a kelp farm, a very slow mob farm, and a floating island, covered with crimson and warped nylium as grass, and on top I built a castle out of blackstone bricks with gilded blackstone from a bastion I raided. There was a railway into a ravine with a second ravine inside, and a mineshaft, but I looted the entire place by the time I finished the railway. I also made a small crimson and warped wood farm, and a chorus plant farm. And I had several horses, dogs, and cats. I named one of the cats Stripes, after the one I have at home. I even found a fossil in the desert I plundered for glass, and made a pillar so I could visit it. I even made a ship out of polished basalt, and mounted a dragon head on the front. And since the tops of quartz, basalt, and ancient debris look similar, I thought that maybe basalt is old quartz, and ancient debris is very old basalt, so I named the ship "The Ship of The Ancients." Get it? Ancients? Ancient debris?

The weird things-

Many strange things have happened in my world. Like the time gravel tried to drop me into lava, but stacked up high enough so it failed. If there was just 1 less gravel block, I would have died. Inside the stronghold, I was mugged by 40 silverfish. While travelling 20,000 blocks to a woodland mansion, I swam past an ocean monument, which I later looted. My horses somehow kept escaping and reappearing outside my wall. I once drowned right outside my town, and was knocked into lava inside a ravine by a creeper.
