When I awoke, I was on my back looking up at a vast expanse of blue. I sat up and looked around. I was in a clearing about one kilometer in all directions. The clearing was surrounded by a forest. I got to my feet and saw that I was not wearing the same clothes I was yesterday. I was dressed in a blueish-green shirt and jeans, and I was not wearing shoes. I started forward toward the tree line.
Some time in between twenty and thirty minutes, I made it to the edge of the forest. Then I saw some wild sheep grazing beside a clump of wild blueberry shrubs. At the site of food, I then realized just how hungry I was. I got down on my knees and started picking as much as I could, then I shoved them into my mouth. They tasted very sweet, refreshing, and full of flavor.
I went deeper into the forest, and after what seemed like an hour, I came to a little pond. I rushed up to it and plunged my face into it; the water was crystal clear. After quenching my thirst, I looked up and saw that the sun was starting to set, and I needed to build a shelter.
I pulled some thick branches off of some of the trees, two very long and thin branches. Then I found a small tree, a little thinner than my arm, and I bent it at the base, twisted it, and bent it back and forth until it snapped off. I stripped the small tree of its branches and propped one end in a Y-shaped branch of a bigger tree, and did the same to the other side. I took one of the thin branches, tied it to the big tree, and the small one propped on it, and took the second thin branch, did the same to the other side. By now the sun was almost set, and I finished the shelter by adding the other branches to both sides of the shelter to create walls, then I got inside and fell asleep.
Then my eyes shot open; it was a sound that woke me. I peeked out of the fort, and what I saw frightened me to the bone. The greenish four-legged creature was about as tall as a man and stood right outside my shelter. A sense of relief briefly passed by me; the monster had its back turned to me. Then all sense of relief was shattered as the green monster turned around and looked down at me, then it started shaking violently, and it exploded!
The next day, I woke up very sore and very achy. I opened my eyes, and there was my shelter destroyed. The ground around it was turned up. I got to my feet and surveyed the damage. There was a crater about twelve feet by eleven. And in the crater was a slab of mutton and a lump of wool. My only guess was that a sheep had been there. I walked forward, and before I could actually touch them with my hands, they disappeared. I looked around, and I could not find them. At that point, I realized a slight heaviness on my back. I put my right arm behind my back and felt a backpack. I took it off and unzipped it, and there was a lump of wool along with a slab of mutton. That was strange. I felt in the pack to see if there was meat juice, but there wasn't. Then something happened that I would never forget. The mutton turned into a different shape, and the wool turned into a block, but the block of wool was as light as wool even though it looked heavy. I stopped marveling at the contents in my pack and looked around. Everything was blocks, the ground was blocks, the trees were blocks, even the water was block-like, but worst of all, a was made of blocks! My arms were like weird long blocks, my head was just a block with a face, my torso was like my arm but double the width, and my legs were the same size as my arms. I went over to the broken shelter, and there were sticks everywhere. I walked forward, and they disappeared. I guessed that they probably went in my backpack. With a sudden jolt of ????? I realized I was in a game, and not just any game, it was my favorite childhood game MINECRAFT. All the actions and everything came back.
I walked up to a tree and started punching it. After ten seconds, a block of wood broke free. I got nine more wood blocks and made some planks and a crafting table. Then I crafted some sticks and laid out the recipe for a pickaxe. Next, I went up to a hill and dug up one stack of cobblestone, then I went back to my crafting table and made a stone set of tools. I chopped down some more trees and went back to the little cavern that I had started.
After an hour or so (but it was actually less than a minute in the real world), I stumbled across an abandoned mine. I was instantly excited about all the good loot and stuff down here, then I heard a footstep from somewhere inside the mine. It could only mean one thing: hostile mobs. In fear, I instinctively and quickly blocked off the mine, ran to my crafting table, and made a shield. Then I went back to the mine, this time I was ready.
I mined the blocks that were in the way and headed in. At this point, I thought that I was a pro. I realized then just how much of a noob I was. I needed torches. I went back out of the mine and looked around on the outside until I found some coal, then I made torches and went back in, take three. Two zombies came at me at once. I blocked the first and sliced the second, then I did a wide stroke and killed both at the same time. Then I heard a strange sound; it was a Creeper, no doubt. I woke it once and waited. That was foolish; it blew up, but I had blocked just in time. I didn't take damage, but I did get blasted back.
Then, out of the darkness, four more zombies came at me. I blocked, then swiped over and over again, but they just kept coming. Eventually, I couldn't take it anymore, so I sprinted forward until I came to a monster spawner. I destroyed it and looked for more. Thankfully, I came across several more and destroyed them. Now the mobs were spawning less and less. This gave me a good advantage.
I explored more in the mine, and I remembered that in abandoned mines were loot chests. So I went in deeper and deeper until I came across one. It was several more minutes till I found one, but when I opened it, I was rewarded with the chest that had ten iron, five diamonds, eight gold, three emeralds, twenty-four rails, a golden apple, ten Redstone, and fifteen powered rails.
I put the loot into my inventory and continued exploring. On my way around the mine, I came across some Lapis Lazuli. I wanted to mine it with a diamond pick so it could give me more Lapis than if I were to use an iron pick. I took my planks and made a crafting table, then made some sticks, and finally crafted a diamond pick. Next, I went ahead and mined the Lapis.
It was about two hours by the time I finished mining the Lapis, but in real life, I knew that it was only less than two minutes. I took a look at my inventory it was packed full. I had no more space left. I then headed out of the cave. The sun was setting when I came out of the cave, and I had not made a new base.
I quickly got some more wood, turned them into planks, and built a one-man hut with a door. To make it feel more like home. I added a double chest in the corner on the right-hand side and a crafting table on the opposite side. I would have to make a bed at one point.
The next morning, I wandered around to find sheep. I also saw that I was hungry. Not too long later, I found a small herd of sheep and killed all of them. In all, I collected nine wool. I went back home, I made three beds, one for my chest and two for in between the double chest and the crafting table. The hut was really starting to look like home now.
Next, I made two furnaces and cooked the mutton from the sheep. After they were done, I ate two pieces (I was very hungry). My next priority was finding a village. I put the bed from the chest into my inventory (for sleeping on the way). Then emptied my inventory except the necessities such as sword, axe, pick, shovel, etc. Finally, I took down the coardanance of my hut and set off.
I went in one direction for a long time, so long that it came to be night. I placed down my bed and went to sleep. When I woke up, there was a face in my face, well, what do it was a villager. I looked around, then I saw it, the village. I quickly broke my bed and rushed over to it. It was a very big village.
I went over to the first building I saw, which was a blacksmith's house. I went inside and went straight to the loot chest. It wasn't bad, it had one diamond, three obsidian, and two bread. I put them all into my inventory. The next building that I explored was a library, where I broke all the bookshelves and collected the books. Then I headed over to the butcher and killed all the animals that were in the gate.
Some time later, I came across another blacksmith's place. This chest was a lot better; it had a diamond hoe, a gold block, and thirty-five wheat seeds. After examining every single villager hut, I came across five more supply chests. The sun was setting, and I needed to sleep. I went into one of the huts, placed my bed, and fell asleep.
When I woke up, I headed home, put my valuables away, and organized my chests. By then, it was nighttime, and I went to sleep. The next morning, I wanted to go ship hunting. I crafted a boat and headed in one direction. I used a shovel to fertilize the ground as I walked, marking a path so I wouldn't get lost.
Soon I came to the ocean. I chucked down my boat, hopped in, and sped off. After a few minutes, I came across a shipwreck. I simply got out and inspected it. The first chest that I found was a supply chest, it had two pairs of leather boots, twenty-one paper, nine wheat, and five coal. The second chest I found was the treasure chest, and it had three emeralds, two diamonds, ten gold nuggets, eleven iron nuggets, and six lapez. I was feeling good.
Then, finally, I found the chest with the map, or more specifically, the treasure map. This chest also had resources such as eight paper, five rotten flesh, seven carats, one pumpkin, and nine potatoes. I hopped back into my boat and continued exploring.
Not one minute later, I found a full ocean temple. Which can mean basically only one thing, guardians! There are two types of guardians: guardians like normal guardians, and then there are the elder guardians. The big ones that hurt a lot. I was not prepared, so I took down the coordinates of the temple and went hunting for more ships.
Before I found another ship, however, I came across some ocean monuments, which in total had four chests, but all of which had the same loot: wheat, coal, a fishing rod, and some form of leather armor. I wasn't too happy about that, but it could be worse.
After those weird loot chests, I found another, and it was right next to the ocean monuments. This ship had three chests: one was a treasure chest, the second was a resource chest, and the third was the one with the treasure map, which was another resource chest. Now I had two treasure maps that I could check out. So I did.
I checked out the one that was closest to me, which was not very far. It was located on a small island, by estimation, one hundred blocks away. I rowed over to that island and started digging. Two blocks down, I found it. It was basically what you would expect. Lapez, gold, diamond, iron, and nuggets.
After that, I went and found the other chest. The second chest was basically the same loot. Now my inventory was full. So I went home. I put all my valuables in one chest and all the resources in another. Of course, it was nighttime, so I went to sleep.
I woke up and went outside, then I died. A huge group of Creepers had been waiting for me outside, and so I got blown to smithereens. I was pretty angry, but thankfully, I responded not too far from where I died. I collected all my stuff and repaired my house.
It was at this point that I realized that I needed a stronger and bigger house with some sort of defense system. For starters, I destroyed my house and collected all of the resources used to build it. I decided that I would make it a floating base.
I made a dirt pillar going twenty-two blocks up. Then I started on a platform. It was made out of just cobblestone. It was just a huge, huge box with walls four blocks thick. Each side was one hundred blocks tall. The next thing that I did was light the whole place up so that no mobs would start spawning.
Next, I started working on a layout for a proper house. It was overall a big house. The bottom floor itself was forty by forty blocks, with a corner taken out of one of the corners. It was a mostly wooden house with birch wood planks for the walls, oak wood planks for the floor, the corners were cobblestone, and the roof was made of dark oak slabs and stairs. The house stood thirty blocks tall from the floor of the floating cube.
After I finished building and furnishing the entire house. I wanted the floor of the cube to look natural and lively, so I replaced the whole floor with dirt blocks (the grass would grow over them). After all the grass had grown over, I started on a garden. A huge garden, one section was for pumpkins, one was for melons, one was for wheat, one was for carrots, one was for beets, and one was for potatoes. I set water in different spaces around the garden to keep the ground wet and water the plants.
After basically the whole interior of the cube was complete, I got rid of the dirt pillar and replaced it with two water streams. On the bottom of one of them was a sole sand block, and under the other one was a magma block. The sole sand made bubbles that would shoot me up, and the magma block made a stream of bubbles that would suck me down. I was feeling quite happy with my base, and I decided to go mining.
I started with a two-wide staircase going down. After getting to diamond level, which is seventeen blocks above bedrock or lower. I started mining a strip mine, which is a whole bunch of tunnels branching off of one another. Before long, I found diamonds, Lots of diamonds. There were twelve total in the entire vine. By now, I had lots of diamonds, so I made a full set of diamond tools and a full suit of diamond armor.
After that, I decided that it was time to go to the Nether. I got some obsidian and a flint and steel. I built the portal and headed in. I had a very lucky spawn, believe it or not, I spawned right by a Nether fortress. I was ready, so I charged right in.
The first thing that met me was a Wither skeleton. I killed it with ease. I thought this was easier than I thought at first, but I was really wrong. At least ten Blazes came at me all at once. I could not fight them all. I fluttered, five attacked me from behind, and five in front. Just to make things worse, two more Wither skeletons joined in. They were poisoning me. I had to eat. I ate some cooked chicken, but it wasn't enough. I was going to die. They kept coming; I had one heart left. Then half a heart, and finally, I died.
I was very upset. I spawned by my bed in my house. I needed to go back to the Nether to get my stuff back. I wasn't too upset about my stuff; mainly, I was upset about my levels. I had lots, and I lost them all. I found most of my stuff, and out of nearly one hundred, I got ten back, which was pretty bad.
After I recovered, I went back home. I wanted to go to the end and kill the Ender Dragon. Thankfully, I had gotten lots of Blaze rods. So I turned them into Blaze powder. The next thing I needed to do was get a whole bunch of Ender eyes. I already had five, so I needed at least ten more in case of a break.
I went out at night and killed every Enderman in sight. In the end, I was able to get twenty Ender pearls, which would make twenty more Ender eyes. I did a little bit more preparation. I packed to tnt, forty ladders, lots and lots of arrows, a flame bow, a full set of enchanted armor, a water bucket, etc., everything I need to kill the Ender dragon.
After I was prepared, I threw an Ender eye in the air and followed it. After an hour or so, it stopped leading me. I started digging on the spot where it dropped. I would never do this, but I dug down, and I dropped into the Stronghold. I was relieved that I didn't come across any lava. Except for the lava under the portal. Yes, portal, I was lucky and found the portal room first.
I put the eyes in and jumped through. I had a very lucky spawn, the obsidian platform generated right over the main island. The first thing that I needed to do was destroy all of the healing thingies. I started with the two hardest ones, the caged ones. I climbed up one using ladders. I broke one side of the cage, put down a TNT, and a Redstone torch beside it. Then I quickly climbed down. It exploded, destroying the healing thinking. I did the same to the other tower.
Then I simply destroyed the other eight tower healing things by shooting them with my flame bow. Now I was ready to kill the Ender dragon. It flew over the top of the return portal, and I took my chance. I hit it as much as I could with my enchanted diamond sword before it flew up again. When it did, I shot it as much as I could until it went over the portal, and that's when I hit it over and over again.
Finally, after many rounds of doing this, it died, and it rained ex the total amount of ex that I got in the end was sixty-six, and I was happy. The end return portal was activated, and I went home. I put my valuables in a chest and went back to explore the end cities.
It didn't take long to find one. But the one that I did find was absolutely enormous. It had eight loot rooms in total, including two Ender chest rooms. Plus, it had two sky boats, which means two Elytra. Of course, I started with the loot rooms. I took them down one at a time. It took a while, but I conquered all the rooms. I got two Ender chests, stacks and stacks of Shulker shells, tons and tons of loot, and some really good tools.
The last thing that I had to do was take down the boats, which actually wouldn't be as hard. I got to the tallest point of the city and waited till a Shulker hit me. One did, and I started levitating. It stayed active for about twenty seconds, then it started to run out. I was going to fall and take a lot of fall damage. I wasn't going to die because I had Feather Falling five, but as I said, I was going to take a lot of fall damage.
The course of levitating was out. I threw an Ender pearl at the edge of the boat it teleported me. I was safe for the moment. I was standing on a ledge one block thick. I had to be careful. So broke my way in. It was awesome, I ended up in the Elytra room, I killed the Shulker, and took the main article. I also looted the chests.
After I had taken down the first boat, I headed to the second one. This time, it would be way easier if I had an Elytra. The second boat had relatively good loot and, of course, a second Elytra. My inventory was full, two Ender chests were full, and several Shulker boxes were full. I had a very successful End-raiding session. So I went home and stored all my loot and tools, and did some organizing. I was feeling very confident and ready to take on anything.
So my next goal was to defeat the Wither. I looked through my chest and got three Wither skeleton heads and four bits of sole sand. I put the sand in a T formation and put the heads on top, then the Wither spawned. It created a huge explosion. Bigger than that of a Creeper. But the explosion did nothing to the five-by-five area of obsidian, which was four blocks tall; I was fighting at a big advantage.
So I shot it several times with my Infinity and Power Five bow; it took some damage, but it was stronger than the Ender dragon. It may be stronger, but I didn't need to spend extra time destroying the healing stations because there were none. So it went relatively as long to defeat it as it did for the Ender dragon. But in the end, I was the victor. To kill it, I used a total of only forty-three arrows.
After my fight, I put the Nether star it dropped into the crafting table, as well as tree obsidian, five glass, and I made a beacon. I put it right on top of my base. I also put a bit of red glass on top to change the color to red. I realized that I had basically and practically won the game. I did not know what was next. I remembered that I used to be a real human. Like one not just inside the game, I wanted to go home. I did not know what to do; I did not even know what the real world looked like anymore. The only thing I could think of was to go to the Nether.
So I did. I got there, and nothing was unusual. I went exploring for a while, and then I came across another Nether portal. I went over to it. I could not imagine who or what made it, and I do not know what made me do it, but I stepped through. I came out into a plain surrounded by a forest. I went straight ahead, but something was not right. The grass looked so real, even though I didn't know what real was. But somehow I just knew.
As I walked, something seemed very similar, but I couldn't place it. I got to the edge of the forest, and I saw a beam of red light stretching into the sky for miles. I realized I was back home in a game; nothing was pixelated, it wasn't Minecraft. It was Minecraft turned into the real world, and just then, I started flying or floating, but I was not controlling it. I flew over my base and everything that I had created, and last but not least, I had a tour of my house, and then I woke up. I was in a lab of some kind.
"And hello," a voice said. I instantly felt so weird because I hadn't heard a voice in over five years. Or five Minecraft years. But it was just so strange. Then they said, "How are you?"
"Good?" I said.
"How did it go?"
"Good," I said again.
"Great," he said, and I knew I was home.
