Lime Monster

Apologies to those who read Snell-Pym as this is mostly a re-post.

Initially I was very bad at Minecraft, I could not even work out how to look up let alone move and as for fighting the monsters of this almost eden-esk world – that was impossible. But after being attacked by a spider, a skeleton and a zombie, being stuck in a whole, being suspended in the air and drowning…. I finally seemed to master basic movements.

Being me I skipped the tutorial and refused to play in creative as I like there to be a challenge. Anyway I finally after a week of playing managed to construct a one room house. It started off in mud and then I mined cobble stone which I clad the outside and then mined the mud away from the inside.

The idea is that you mine and farm things and make stuff. I started off by making a crafting table, then a chest to keep things in. I was on the hunt for stuff for torches and a bed – but this proved tricky and so I found myself hiding in a dark corner of my house – it had a door I’d made on the crafting table but no light as I need to make charcoal or find coal.

Fortunately no monsters spawns in there with me – this was why it was all still earth – a monster called a creeper did blow my house up from the out side though which hacked me off! (I may have said a rude word).

Eventually I found the resources to make my torches – I had to build a furnace. So now I have light, food (due to killing poor unsuspecting cows and cooking them in the furnace), shelter, a crafting table and a double sized chest but still no bed! This means I can not sleep during the games nighttime which is annoying.

The game is made of large pixels and I can only play a bit at a time as the motion on the screen gives me motion sickness!

I also keep accidentally hitting the left hand toggle as a button instead, this changes the perspective of the little avatar – not helpful when you are fighting zombies!
