Day Thirty-three Dying a lot is a bad thing

It is time to fight the enderdragon! However, dying repeatedly was not part of the plan.

I had to watch the sky constantly for the dragon, and when I died the first time from an enderman, I lost all my stuff and I was naked. Well, my good armor was gone. I had little protection on when fighting it, so I died a lot. Fortunately, I was able to get my stuff back a few times. 

Well, dying got to a point where I had to dig a tunnel from my base to the portal to save time. Well, once I dug it I didn't really need it for the fight. The orbs that were high was particularly annoying.

I didn't think it went as smoothly as I intended.

I got a silk touch pick and a fortune III pick, so I went caving with the silk touch and came home to use fortune III on the ores. I won't be worrying about coal for a while.

My villagers are breeding like crazy. It seems my mega spawner is working.

It is time to upgrade to an endermen farm. It'll provide better rates and a bit more exp.

Each level of this farm has 44 spawning space, which is a lot considering we are anyway from the main island in The End. Each floor has the next floor as a two high ceiling so the enderman can't spawn there and it serves as a guide for the enderman to fall down within the area. There is a layer of vines on the 44th level so no matter how high they fall, I'll be able to one-shot them.

I decided I'm building one part cobble and the other snow. I've always liked the cobble-snow design.

Here's what it looks like.

So far, I've only have three floors completed and the spawn and experience rates practically match the blaze farm. It's worth it, considering I fell off three times making this so far.

Day Twenty-eight Everything

Perhaps I should upload more often so my posts won't have to be so long. Whatever.

After a bit of caving, I was in search of cats and dogs. The cats were a pain to capture, it kept running away from me. It's probably because I'm a dog person.

The jungle I found them in is across a mountain so I had to use my tunnel from the beach to get them through.

After a few days, it became apparent that theses guys aren't breeding. I had to take things into my own hands.

A twenty-five door mega-breeder. This will get the villagers to breed.

Within seconds, they started mating. Although their population steady increase, I'm unsure if they'll pass the limit of 100 doors.

It seems I'll have to deal with walkers after all. They spawned in some of the apartment units too. Lucky I was there, if they had spawned at any other time, they would've all been killed.

I finally got a paper trade. It's also a low paper count for the trade, which is good. It's also the villager I trapped in the mega-breeder so I can access him anytime.

What sugar cane problem? The way the water is placed is 100% efficient with the amount of water there is. All the water blocks have a lily pad so I won't fall in and they also have light from jack-o-lanterns. This is in front of my house, I planned to make this a dock, but there's no point now.

In about three harvests, I get enough for about 200 emeralds. I'm practically rich now.

I made diamonds a renewable resource. I have unlimited diamond tools and armor.

While enchanting my new diamond stuff, I went AFK in front of my blaze farm. I got to about 200 blaze, lagged like hell, then I broke the glass from all the lag. I should have stopped at 100.

Nothing to say here.

How did I find this stronghold with only two Eye of Enders? Algebra. I'm going to college in three weeks so I just refreshed myself. It has something to do with the laws of sin and trigonometry. Through my calculations, I came up with the coordinates, x: -50, z: 742. I dug underneath and I found some stronghold area. 

I had to wonder a bit because my numbers are only an estimate, but I found it. It was actually pure luck that I did have to throw another eye.

It's not like I'll ever use it anyway. I think I need to give you a tour of my world.
