SO… I got lost.

As I mentioned in an earlier post I went a wondering into the islands out the front of my house in Minecraft and promptly got completely and utterly lost. I panicked and tore about and realised it was getting dark so hurriedly chopped down some tree, sheared some sheep that happened to be around and constructed an emergency house as the sun was setting.

I constructed the outer walls first – using a natural recess to reduce the amount of building, I turned the wood into planks and then a crafting table so I could make a door, bunged that on and went inside to put the roof on. Once that was done I made myself a bed, chest and furnace.

The next morning there was a strange sound sort of whomp whomp and lo! An Enderman was there just outside my house – I didn’t know about endermen at the time so I attacked him and he hit me and then disappeared. I liked the purple sparkliness of him but his elongated figure and the suddeness of movements were very unsettling.

I then decided that I would explore until I found my own home but that I would do in a sensible and systematic way. So I made a load of torches which I used to make a trail. This way at least I wouldn’t loose the new house.

I managed to find my first house and dubbed the new one The Bothy – a bothy being a little hut with a few supplies left in remote regions incase you need it. I believe it is a Scottish word, last time I stayed in one there was a pinemartin, a stag and some snow. Anyway my plan is to explore the world using this torch and bothy system. I will take basic supplies to build myself a house and lay a trail of torches as I go.

Here are the torches leading back to my first house from The Bothy.
