Minecraft: loading new world

I woke up from the best sleep that I had in my entire life, I even felt the fatigue that I didn't even know leaving my body. I then walked into the living room and sat on the chair that I improvised with a staircase block. I took out an apple from my inventory eat it for breakfast.

"Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to celebrate by eating all the bread that I had, but now I'm back to eating apples. "

I looked around the house to see how much of a mess I made yesterday. Some swords were lying here and there, and some mini cobblestones were right beside the crafting table, it wasn't that bad overall. In my crafting frenzy, I started to find out some things, like when you dropped a block from your inventory it shrunk to a fourth of its size, and if you dropped another block, it started to absorb it without changing its shape, but surprisingly when I dropped a sword it didn't change its size, it was as I had it in my hand. That made me think that I could use a dispenser to shoot swords at my enemies instead of arrows since it still did damage even if I didn't hold it in my hand.

I also found out that my inventory and the chest inventory stopped time when I put things in it, so when I took a load of bread out it was still warm which surprised me the first time I did that. I also left an apple out in the open to see if this world had the concept of rotting organic matter, and even though it wasn't rotten yet, it did show color changes.

After breakfast was done, I started to do some cleanup, putting stuff in the chest and sorting what I had in the chest already, while I was doing that I also started to think what can I do with all those swords, I had to change my original plan or start to get rid of the excess.

"Maybe when I'll find some lava I'll bring a bucket up here to burn it. Speaking about exploring, I should start crafting some iron tools so I can do that. "

I took my 21 iron ingots and crafted a sword, a pickaxe, an axe, a bucket, a helmet, and lastly the most powerful item in the game, the shield. I equipped what I could and took some other items that I thought would help me on this exploration, I then opened my status screen to see what changed:

________________________________________

STATUS

Name:???????

Health: 20/20

Attack: 6

Defense: 3

Speed: 5.6 blocks/sec

________________________________________

"So the iron sword gives me 6 attack damage and the helmet only 3 defense, but I guess it's better than nothing. "

I then finally stepped outside to be greeted by a graveyard. What do I mean by that? It just so happens that 5 skeletons were lying down in my yard, they didn't move since daytime so that wasn't a worry for me.

"I know I didn't replace the blown-out torches, but I didn't expect this to happen. Maybe they spawned here at night, but couldn't run to cover since they were blocked by the wall. Well some free bones for me then! "

I quickly collected everything and walked outside my walls. I wanted to explore the source of the river and maybe take it with me, so I surrounded my house where I could see the water only to make me stop and raise my shield in a defense position.

At the entrance of the canal to my yard, a tall spider was trying to get in with not much success. I carefully walked closer to it only to see that it didn't try to get in, instead, it was just floating and hitting its head into the wall.

"How did it die? It doesn't look injured in any way. Are spiders, perhaps not good with water? "

I got it outside the water to see it more closely, its body was black except for the 8 red empty eyes, it was hairy all over with the back side being the biggest over the whole body, that's where the string was most likely. I easily cut through it with my sword, and as I expected there was a string in it.

"So I have to butcher the monsters to get their items. I'm not looking forward to when I have to get ender pearls."

I put the string in my inventory and buried the corpse just in case. Then, I finally started my exploration trip towards the source of the river.

The trip was a long one but not a boring one, I found some sugar cane that I immediately took, and I also found a flock of chickens that I would most likely try to catch when I get back, but the most important thing that I found was an actual cow calmly drinking some water,

" Finally I can drink something else besides just water!

But the cow wasn't my goal for this journey, and on top of that I didn't even have wheat on me where I could bait it, so I continued on my journey until I arrived at the entrance of a cave where the water came out. As I got closer to the cave, I noticed that the surrounding area was covered in spider webs, which wasn't a good sign. I cautiously walked forward, making sure to keep my shield up at all times.

As I got closer, I noticed that the spider webs were denser and denser, making it difficult to see what was ahead. Suddenly, a spider jumped out at me from behind a nearby wall. I quickly raised my sword and shield, ready to fight.

The spider was bigger than the one I had encountered earlier, and it seemed more aggressive. It lunged at me, trying to sink its fangs into me. I dodged to the side and swung my sword at it, hitting it in the abdomen. The spider let out a hiss, and I could see fury in its eyes.

I knew I had to be careful. I kept my shield up, waiting for the spider to attack again. It lunged at me, but this time I was ready. I swung my sword, cutting off one of its legs. The spider let out a cry of pain and tried to back away, but I pursued it.

The fight was intense, but I managed to defeat the spider. I collected the string it had but didn't bother to bury this one, and continued on my journey. As I got closer to the source of the river, I encountered more spiders. Some were smaller and easier to defeat, while others were larger and more aggressive. I fought them all, determined to get to the source of the river.

Finally, after what felt like hours, I arrived at the source of the river. It was a beautiful sight. The water was crystal clear and sparkled in the sunlight that came from an opening from the ceiling. I filled my bucket with the source water, and it felt different, when I was at home I tried to fill it with just running water, and even though it worked when I put it out it was just like normal water spreading and disappearing in the grass. I looked at the filled bucket in my hands thinking about how useful it would be to have a steady supply of water at home.

I looked around some more to see some coal and iron here and there, but what got my attention was a block of wood.

"Is that... is that a mineshaft!?"

I couldn't believe my luck with this trip, I switched my sword with a torch but kept my shield up in case of any attack.

As I walked through it I found a lot of spiderwebs but no spiders, but there were a lot of mine carts with chests in them, and the loot wasn't bad at all.

- 32 torches

- 56 rails

- 15 glow berry

- 5 loaves of bread

- 6 melon seeds

- 3 pumpkin seeds

- 13 iron ingots

- 1 golden apple

I didn't expect to have a golden apple so soon, it looked about the same size as the normal one but it had a golden color. Now I finally had a secret weapon in case I was getting too hurt and I needed to heal quickly.

I was very happy with this trip, I got so much loot and a lot of information as well.

But then I realized that I had to make my way back home, and the spiders were still there, waiting for me. I took a deep breath and started my journey back. The spiders were just as aggressive as before, and I had to fight my way through them, but fortunately, I didn't need to use the golden apple, and of course, I didn't forget to take as much string as I could.

It was exhausting, but I finally made it back home. I was covered in spiderwebs and dirt, but I had accomplished what I set out to do. I had found the source of the river, I had defeated the spiders, and got a lot of loot. As I sat in my chair, eating an apple with bread and resting, I couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. I had survived another day in this strange world, and I was ready for whatever came next.
