If you want to know what this is all about, read Chapter Six! I'm going to end this poll on Saturday the 13th of May. Whatever option has the most votes is what I will stick with!
Chapter Fifteen- Butterflies, Desert Temples and Hippocamps!
Today, I am kinda in the mood for adventuring. But I'm also kinda in the mood to build something. Except, I cannot think of anything I really need to build at the moment.... Wait, just kidding I know what I need. A Nether Wart Farm. Just noticed, I don't have one of those and I kinda need one, because I only have a stack of 40 or so Nether Wart in my Potion area and that probably won't last long.
We went underground for this build! There aren't any progress shots... Mainly because there weren't really that many to take. It's a pretty quick and simple build. I decided to put it underground, because lets face it... Nether Wart and Soul Sand are pretty darn ugly, and I don't want them showing on the surface... So I dug down a little bit and dug out a square room, big enough to make a decent sized Nether Wart Farm. If I find myself needing a lot more of it in the future, there is always expansion. I put this underground Farm in my Potion area, just because I felt like that made a lot of sense. I placed the trapdoor over it, to make it look a little better. Oh, I thought I would also go all out with it all and stick to a 'Nether' theme, so I went and stole some Nether Bricks from the Temple near my Portal and used them for the walls.
It's time for a little taste of adventure! I have equipped my inventory with everything I think I am going to need. I have plenty of food, my tools and my sword are still in pretty good shape, and I am prepared for Butterfly catching with some Jars and my Net.
So, as you can clearly tell by the pictures, this Adventure just turned out to be me finding a whole lot of Desert Temples. The first one I found, was sitting next to a Village, which I was quite happy about. The Village didn't have a BlackSmith unfortunately, but I did run around to a few of the Villagers to see what kind of trades they were doing. Also, let's just take note of that insane looking Savanna M Biome in the background of the Village. I didn't end up getting any proper pictures of it, but it looked really cool from a distance!
The second Desert Temple I found, was in a completely different Desert that I found after wandering North for a little bit. And the third and final one, I came across at that same Desert, but it was located on the very edge, as you can see. Now, you are probably wondering... so what kind of cool loot did you get from these three Temples? Pffttt, cool loot my bum bum. All three of them were pretty much a disappointment. The only semi-exciting thing that I found was a Saddle... and that's not even that exciting. I also got a bunch of gold ingots and a dashing new Iron Horse Armour... But other than that... Nada.
You already know that I went Butterfly hunting while I was on my adventure. It was worth it too, because I caught four new ones! None of them need to be killed to make the Encyclopedia. So, I'm going to set them all free in my Dome! I think the one that I like the most out of all of them, is the Acmon Blue (Male), just because it's such a gorgeous colour!
Now this is probably my favourite part of the whole adventure. Well actually, it kinda happened once my adventure had ended and I had returned home. I had teleported to a Spruce Forest not far from my Home that I had a waypoint set too, because I wanted to gather more Spruce wood for future builds. This ended up been a rather exciting wood cutting trip... Because, I found myself a Hippocamp!! These amazing creatures come from the Ultimate Unicorns Mod, and although they have a really strange name, they are such pretty looking creatures! They are part Mermaid or Dolphin or something and I love it! I had to pop back home and grab some golden carrots to tame it, a Saddle and a Lead. He was been a little stubborn at first, but I got him to be mine in the end, and I'm in love. I will just say though, it was a bit of a tedious journey home.. These creatures are not very fast on land.
His name is Hydra. Why? Because I just felt like that name suited him really well.
You are staring at the area that I have decided to build Hydra's enclosure in. I had this spontaneous idea to build him a home in water! Since he is a water creature, it just makes a lot of sense. I have got some ideas of how I want this to look, but I will need to do a bit of brainstorming and gather some more supplies. So until I have built his watery enclosure, right now he is chilling out at the front of my house, tied up to a fence post. I have promised him, he won't be there long. I'm going to try and get his home built super quick. I could put him in with Luna and Celestia... But we will see. Might have to, if his enclosure takes a little too long.
This Chapter was a bit random, and I did indeed get myself a new Pet, because you cannot stop me once I have started Thanks for stopping by!
I know, I'm a slacker! But I have a brand new Chapter finally here for you. Also, I have added yet another Mod to my list of Mods! I decided to finally add in Inventory Pets, because it has always been one of my personal favourite Mods! But anyway, welcome to Chapter Sixteen!
Chapter Sixteen- Hydra's Enclosure is Complete!
I have been working my butt off to get Hydra's enclosure done, and I think it's finally complete!
Here are a couple of progress shots that I took. I know, it's a bit of an odd shape, but I was trying to go for something different. I have the tendancy to make most of my builds look quite similar.
After a couple of days of chopping away the entire forest and smelting a lot of sand, the enclosure is complete! Not going to lie, it looks a little funky from the outside... I wanted to make the back half of the roof out of glass, because for some reason that's what I love to do for my pets. But then I didn't want to make the entire roof from glass, because that would have looked a little bit crazy, so I went half wood and half glass... If you just look at it from the front, it looks pretty good. And I reallllyyyy like the way the glass roof looks from the inside!
I don't have a picture of Hydra in his brand new home. But I can assure you, he really seems to like it in there. He particularly loves splashing in that little pond I made for him.
Aside from completing Hydra's enclosure and feeling very accomplished, I thought it was about time I got a serious Armour upgrade. I wasn't going to bother until the iron stuff that I am wearing broke, but come on... We are sixteen chapters into this now... I think it's time for an upgrade. I have been collecting quite a few diamonds whenever I go on mining trips, and have managed to collect enough for a full set of diamond armour. I'm very excited for this upgrade
Do I look OK? I'm going to be honest, I don't really like the armour in this texture pack, and I am thinking of changing it. But I have no time for that right now, so I'm just going to have to deal with what I've got.
While we are on the subject of upgrades, my enchanted diamond Pick finally broke. I was quite upset because I really liked that Pick. But I wasted no time in making a new one and putting it straight into my enchantment table since I was already level 30. Came out with just efficiency IV this time. Which I'm still really happy with, because at least I can still mine super quick!
Jumping quickly to the Butterfly Mania situation, I finally caught another Butterfly that I need to craft the Encylopedia! The Common Brimstone (Male) completes 5/6 Butterflies that I need. Just one more to get! I believe the last one is the Northern Brown Argus Butterfly. Not sure where you find him, but I will keep my eyes peeled.
Added the poor little Common Brimstone to my shelf with the other Butterflies that are...dead. Most of these are for the Encyclopedia, then there are a couple that I have accidentally killed, or already have fluttering around in my Dome, so I killed them for Research.
Since this Chapter seems to be mainly be about Animals, thought I would also mention, that I have obtained some Snake Eggs from Mo Creatures! I was out adventuring really far away from home, and I found a couple of Snakes roaming around in a Swamp. I felt really bad, but I had to kill them to get eggs. Ended up with 3 in total! Further into the future, when I feel like it, I will build a Snake enclosure of some kind and hatch these eggs.
Don't know if that was very interesting to read, but at least I have a new Chapter done. I'm going to try and make the next Chapter more exciting! Thanks for stopping by!
Brand spanking new Chapter! And guess what? I have added yet another mod to my modpack! Holy moly, I am on a mod-adding frenzy, somebody stop me. But I really wanted to add this Mod, because I have missed it so much! I forgot how awesome and convenient it is. I have added Adventure Backpacks! Such an amazing mod, and I feel as if it should be a staple in every modpack! Welcome to Chapter Seventeen!
Chapter Seventeen- Backpacks, Butterflies and Dolphin?
I am actually really quite excited to finally have Backpacks in my life. Backpack mods are truly beautiful and I think we should worship them more. I'm sorry, that was weird. I am in a crazy mood today. But seriously, I love Adventure Backpacks so I am not mucking around. No sir. Let's get crafting!
I somehow still remember how to craft the Standard Adventure Backpack, without having to look in Craftguide. It's really quite simple, just a little annoying to gather all the materials. Now do you really think I am going to just stop at a boring old standard backpack? Well if you did think that, you thought very very wrong...
I present to you my new Rainbow Nyan Cat Backpack! My personal favourite backpack in the mod! It takes quite a few different dyes, and you need a Music Disc. Luckily, I happened to have a couple from looting Mob Spawner Dungeons. But it's totally worth it. Look how fabulous it looks on me Now, when I go off adventuring, inventory space won't be such an issue!
Speaking of adventures, I have been on a couple recently. I really need to start taking more pictures of my adventures so I can share them with you better, but I am terrible and keep forgetting. Anyway, the first adventure I went on the other day... ended up been really random and extremely spontaneous... I of course collected some more Butterflies.
Looooook! I finally caught the Northern Brown Argus! The one I need to craft that darn Encyclopedia! I was beyond happy.... Well that was until I realized that I actually still don't have all six Butterflies that I need... Turns out, after careful inspection that I am still missing the Jutta Artic Butterfly. Shoot..darn it...bbeeeeepppppppp.... That was me trying not to swear...I did a quick bit of googling, and found out that the Jutta Artic spawns in Taiga Biomes... So pretty soon, I shall be going out to a Taiga Biome and not leaving until I have a Jutta Artic in my pocket.
As for the other two that you see in the picture, they are happily fluttering around my Butterfly Dome :3.
Now that was not the random/spontaneous part of this adventure. It was more towards the end of said adventure, and I was about ready to head home. I had an inventory full of new goodies and new Butterflies, and my food supply was starting to get low. So I was about to call it quits and teleport home... When I saw the most majestic looking creature swimming around in a Ocean I was standing near. After I got a bit closer... I discovered that it was a....
IT WAS A DOLPHIN! From Mo Creatures! As you can clearly tell from the picture, I tamed him so bloody quickly. It's really easy to tame Dolphins, you just have to keep getting on their backs until you see the love hearts. This guy was been really stubborn, but I got him to love me in the end <3. Do not ask about his name... Ralph is his name... You see when I was taming this Dolphin, I had one of my friends over. I was having troubles deciding what to call him so I asked my friend to say the first name that comes to her head (boy or girl)... And she said Ralph. So Ralph the Dolphin it is! As you can see, Ralph has been enclosed in this weird area that I sectioned off using dirt. Ralph is actually not close enough to my house that I can just easily ride him home, so I am in a bit of a pickle. I have no idea how I am getting Ralph home yet... But I will figure something out. So for now, he is chilling here and I have set a waypoint to him, so I can come and visit him frequently.
A couple of days later, I decided it was time for another adventure... This time round I had my Nyan Cat Backpack, so I was pretty excited. I set off North, hoping to come across a new Village. The other Village I had set a waypoint to, that I found yonks ago, is lacking something... Potatoes. I have just now decided that I want to finally add potatoes to my Farm. So... I need to you know... burrow some from the Villagers. While I was walking along, it was a nice surprise to come across my first Mesa Biome in this world! I have set a waypoint to it, so I can come back if I ever need a ridiculous amount of clay.
JACKPOT! After, I think it was something like 2 Minecraft days of adventuring, and camping out under the stars using the handy dandy sleeping bag that my adventure backpack comes with, I finally found a new Village! Located in a really pretty Savannah Biome. I set a waypoint to it, and decided it was going to be my new Village. This Village has potatoes!! So of course I took as many as I could. But even better, one of the Villagers is doing a trade for the Villager Backpack! The one that you cannot craft, so the only way to get it, is by trading with a Villager. This guy wants 10 emeralds and a standard backpack for it. Which I can easily give him next time I'm around here. I have got a nice little collection of emeralds going back at home.
And what would one of my adventures be without some Butterfly hunting. Caught some good ones this time! While I was at the Village, I found some really cool ones! The one that I like the most is the Orange Tiger. Thought it was really pretty! Managed to catch two, one for the Dome and one that is unfortunately dead for research. Also found a Common White Glider (Female) which I have released to my Butterfly Dome. I also got an Aura which I killed for research because I already have a live one, and I got a White Checkered Female, which is also dead for researching.
So all in all, I think my Butterfly catching has been pretty good this week
As soon as I got back from that second adventure, I went ahead and planted my potatoes. I got rid of two rows of carrots, because I really didn't need that many, and replaced them with potatoes. Now I can start eating something other than steak and bread!
This Chapter is loooongggg. But hopefully still readable! Thanks for stopping by!
May I suggest adding Extra Utilities, if just for the Golden Lasso (which tends to duplicate animals, if I remember correctly), or the Pokeball mod? It may help with moving animals around.
Chapter Eighteen- I got the Butterfly Encyclopedia!
I finally have it! Have what? Read the title! I finally have the Butterfly Encyclopedia! The other day, I went on a massive mission to find the last Butterfly I needed to craft it, which was the Jutta Artic Butterfly that spawns in Spruce Biomes. I went with many jars, my net and my determination. Looks like the determination paid off, because I caught one! Got a little too excited, and teleported home immediately to kill the poor thing and get this darn thing crafted.
It feels bloody good to have this book! I can finally actually see what Butterflies I do and don't have, can read up on all of them, and find out if the ones I have caught are common, uncommon, rare etc. I think, if I ever do catch any rares, I will be making a separate Dome for them. They deserve royalty! Also, could probably start doing research on the ones I do have already that I have killed and are waiting for me on my shelf. Once I have done research on them, I am going to put them into something called a trophy to display. Sounds kinda terrible I know, turning a dead Butterfly into a trophy... But hey, that's just the way it is.
In other news, I have FINALLY managed to get little Ralph the Dolphin home safe and sound! Before I did bring him home though, I had to decide where I wanted to put him. It took me an awfully long time to figure it out, because I'm really indecisive, and I have never had a pet Dolphin from this mod, so I was really struggling. After about 10 years of arguing with myself, the idea hit me! I could put him in the little lake that Hydra is chilling in! All I had to do was make sure the area was completely enclosed, and did the painful task of mining out a couple of layers under the water, so that it was a little deeper for Ralph to swim in. Easy peasy, and practically no building required!
While we are on the subject of Mo Creatures and pets... I may have obtained two new furry friends... Yes, I seem to be taming pets every single Chapter now, but someone try and stop me . I absolutely love the Bunnies from Mo Creatures, so I decided I needed some in my life. They are super easy to tame as well. Just right click on them, give them a name and boom! All yours. They even sit on your head, which makes getting them home 1000 times easier! I found my first Bunny roaming in a Dark Oak Forest. Tamed her and named her Liquorice :3 Quickly popped home and left Liqourice hopping around my house, while I went out and found her a friend- Peppa! A cute little black and white bunbun.
Figured my brand new bunnies need a place to stay. My house is not exactly suitable. So I built them this! It's quite big, because I do plan on taming a lot more Bunnies in the future. I really like it, and I think Liqourice and Peppa do too! They are already in there happily bouncing about. You can't tell all that well in this picture, but I have decorated their enclosure more. I added some Decocraft stuff and bonemealed the ground to add some pretty flowers!
The last topic of today's Journal, is quite an exciting one. Pretty much, the main reason I installed Inventory Pets, was so that I could obtain the Cloud Pet. You see the Cloud Pet, is pretty much the best Pet in the mod because it allows you to FLY! I know I have Celestia, my beautiful Pegasus. But I don't exactly want to be taking her places like the Nether or into cave systems to fly high away from the scary monsters. So I went on a mad mission to try and get the Cloud Pet. It took me a very long time, but as you can see I have succeeded in my mission!
After I had obtained my Cloud Pet, I decided it might be a good idea to craft a Feed Bag from this mod. It allows you to store any food that you need for your Inventory Pets inside it. Quite convenient! It saves me from cluttering up my inventory or Backpack with Nether Quartz, which is what I need to feed my Cloud Pet! So yes, unfortunately, I will have to make frequent trips to the Nether to get food for my Cloud Pet, but it's totally worth it!
There was actually more that I was going to add to this Chapter, but decided to save it for the next one. Keep you guys on edge... just kidding, it's really nothing exciting. Thanks for stopping by!
Looking good! I swear you have such a nice base. Do you have any tips for building?
Another mod suggestion! Growable Ore Reeds! Sure, the growing blocks themselves are really expensive for 8 (unless you use a custom recipe for it, like I do), but you can grow literally any ore with it. I'd also suggest Aether 2!

*also your new icon is super cute!*
Thank you!!! I have been writing down all of the suggestions people give me for mods, so I will add those two to the list!
I really don't think my building is anything special, but thanks! I don't really know what tips to give, I never thought anyone would ask me for them! XD
Posting another Chapter today, because I did something exciting. I know I said that this Chapter wasn't going to be very exciting, but now it kind of is. Sooo welcome!
Chapter Nineteen- A twilight Forest Adventure and More Backpacks!
I'm in the mood for an adventure. But not an adventure here in the Overworld or in the Nether. No, I'm talking about somewhere brand new. Somewhere quite magical. Let's go to the Twilight Forest! I have been wanting to go for a while now, but I had other things I wanted to get out of the way first. But today, feels like a good day to go. I was going to work on Thaumcraft, but that can wait. But, before we head off, I need to make the actual Portal and I am also in the mood for a new Backpack....
I present to you the Wolf Backpack! Another favourite of mine from this mod. This, from now on is going to be the Backpack I carry around with me everywhere. It's so damn cute. Makes me want to find and tame an actual Wolf. That is on my list of Pets that I would like to get... Hopefully soon!
One more thing, while we are on the topic of Backpacks. I have made a little extension onto my house, because I thought I should probably have somewhere to store all these Backpacks... So here it is! This room is connected to my little Potion area, and it is where my Backpack collection shall be stored. It took me a while to figure out what kind of way I wanted to use to display the Backpacks, but ended up sticking with using upside down stairs as shelves. I used the stairs from Carpenters Blocks so that I could make them different colours of the Rainbow using wool! Thought it looked pretty and who doesn't love rainbows?
You may notice that I have two new Backpacks sitting on those shelves that you have not seen before. The Mushroom one I crafted randomly, just because I wanted something to be sitting on one of the shelves. But I do really like that Backpack!
I also went ahead and teleported back to my new Village to finally get the Villager Backpack! I made a Standard Backpack and grabbed 10 of my Emeralds to trade. Luckily, the Villager that was doing this trade was still alive and hadn't been slaughtered by Zombies. This Backpack looks great as part of my collection and I do plan on using it soon!
OK, now it's time for the fun part of this Chapter, let's go to the Twilight Forest!
First thing is first, gotta actually make the Portal. I am making it right next to my house. Just so it's easy to get too, and honestly I don't know where else I want to put it. I have made an infinite water source and surrounded it with Vanilla flowers. Added the diamond and bammm! The Twilight Forest Portal is made! I'm excited, alright before we just go jumping in, do I have everything? Food, weapons/tools, water bucket, Cloud Pet/Feed Bag, Potions in case of emergencies... Yep should be good to go. OK, jumping in!
PFFTTTT, look where I ended up spawning!!! My Portal is sitting on a tiny floating island in the middle of the ocean! This is the first time I have had a spawn like this in the Twilight Forest. It's OK though, because there is land not far from me, so it's not like it's miles away from anywhere. I have plans to maybe expand this island a little bit, and possibly build a cute little Base for when I come here? We shall see. I have set a waypoint so I don't lose the Portal, now lets go!
Firstly, let's take a look at the area near my Portal. Ohhhh, so pretty!! And, I have spawned not far from one of the Towers that a Boss is in! If I am not mistaken, I believe that is the Lich King's house! That would make an interesting Chapter if I decide to fight him... I have never done it before, so we will see.
Travelled a little further North and found one of my all time favourite Biomes in the Twilight Forest, it's a Mushroom Forest!! Ahh, just thinking about it now, my house back in the Overworld would have looked super cute in this Biome.
I have found the Enchanted Forest Biome with the gorgeous Rainbow Treeeeees!!!! Holy it's so darn beautiful! I think this is probably my second or third ever time finding this Biome. Amazing. Must set a waypoint to this place! I also managed to find the area where the Quest Ram lives!! Will have to come back to him at a later date too.
Decided, that since I have this awesome Cloud Pet that allows me to easily fly everywhere, I would go and check out the tops of those extremely tall trees because they usually have Dungeons with Spider Spawners and Loot inside them! I managed to locate two, by listening out for the Spider sounds while standing on top of the trees. This is the Loot that I got from the two Dungeons. I think the most exciting thing out of all of it for me, are the Canopy Tree saplings!!! 100% going to be planting those in near my home when I go back. Also, Fireflies!!! I really love those things!
After exploring those tall trees, I flew back down a little closer to the ground, and spotted a Maze!! Decided, why not go into it and see what kind of loot it contains.
Those bloody scary little Spiders are a pain in the butt. So glad I have my Cloud Pet to get away from them. Also, the angry Wolves. They don't scare me, I just really hate killing them D:
After the Maze and the Dungeons in the trees, here is what I have got in my Inventory! I'm going to shove it all in my Backpack to keep it safe. Pretty lucky to find a Golden Apple in one of the chests in the Maze. Also kinda excited that I found so much Pumpkin Pie. I have been meaning to make some, but never got around to it. Now I don't need to!
I think that is enough excitment and exploration for one day. Going to head home with all my loot and go around, placing those Fireflies everywhere because they are so pretty and give off great light. I think the next time I come into the Twilight Forest, I will turn that little floating island that my Portal is on, into a proper little home that I can camp in when I'm here. Would be useful for when I want to do Boss Fights!
Exciting enough? I thought so! The Twilight Forest Mod has to be one of my favourites! Thanks for stopping by!
Nice update...I love the Twilight Forest. Not sure if you know how to make giant Oaks, but take one of those rainbow saplings and replant it in the overworld. Immediately after planting, put two glass cubes right next to it. Any blocks will work, but for some reason glass seems to work the best. Throw some bonemeal on there and !Poof! you should get a giant rainbow Oak tree. This is the same technique for regular giant oaks, but it works well for the rainbow oaks too. I had one world/house that I probably had like 30 of those things surrounding it...looked amazing.

Holy moly... I'm now 20 Chapters into this Journal!! That is little crazy to me, because I wasn't expecting to keep this Journal going this long... I'm really terrible at it. But I guess my love for this one is keeping me going a lot longer! Anywayyyy, welcome!!!
Chapter Twenty- Preparation for the ENDER DRAGON and Inventory Pets!
Yes, you read the title of this Chapter correctly. Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with your eyesight. But there might be something seriously wrong with me for doing this.... Yes, I have decided that I am going to woman up and fight the Ender Dragon! This will be my first time EVER doing this, which is why I'm kinda scared, kinda peeing a little bit.. Not sure if this is going to be a good idea. I'm not going to do any practice rounds in new Worlds or anything like that. Just going to straight up go in there for the first time, and try and beat the Dragon.
Now, the actual fight is still a while away yet. I still have a bit of prepping do... and not just gathering supplies... I mean mentally as well.
I have kind of put everything else on hold to prepare for this Ender Dragon fight. I have made a Chest in my upstairs room that is called The END Chest! And it's where I am storing everything I shall be taking with me for battle. Here is what I have so far:
A diamond Sword which will get enchanted closer to the time.
A bow which will get enchanted closer to the time.
2 Ender Pearls to use for teleporting if I end up not spawning on the center Island. (Is two enough??!!)
21 Ender Eyes for finding the End and activating the Portal. I am working on gathering more though, just to be safe. (All of those are legit. I did not spawn any in, I promise!).
2 Golden Apples. I know I will need more, but for now that's what I have.
2 Potions of Swiftness- I don't know if I will end up using them, but they are there again as a 'just in case' thing.
2 Potions of Instant Health II- I will 100% be needing these. Thinking maybe I should make more.
2 Potions of Strength- Purely because they are amazing Potions and I tested fighting an Enderman with one and it was a 2 hit kill. Come in handy if I make any angry any off while fighting the Dragon.
2 Potions of Harming with Instant Damage II- Again might be useful for the Endermen, not sure if I will use them though.
Things I need to add:
A brand new set of enchanted diamond armour. That will take a while, but that is the plan. If any of you have recommendations for what kind of enchantments I should be going for on my armour, that would be a great help.
Ender Chests- Probably will come in handy. That's the other reason I am still working on collecting more Ender Eyes.
I will be taking my Cloud Pet- Not sure if this is counted as cheating? I was planning on using it to fly up to the Pillars to make it easier to destroy the crystals.. But if it sounds too cheaty, I won't bother.
Quiver Pet- I have yet to craft it, but it gives you infinite arrows, which I think might come in handy. Will only bring it though if I don't end up with a Infinity enchantment on my new bow.
If there is anything else at all you guys think I should bring, or if you have any tips for the nervous noob who has never done this, it would all be really appreciated!
Aside from running around like a mad chicken with it's head cut off, I have been crafting some new Inventory Pets! Mainly because I am too lazy to actually go on an adventure to find them...
The first Pet I wanted to craft was the Magma Cube Pet! Thought this would be great for Nether Trips. It gives you constant Fire Resistance and I can walk on Lava?! I need to find out if this is true, hold on let me jump into my Nether Portal real quick...
IT WORKS! I promise I am not pressing space bar to hold myself up. This is sooo cool! Been in the Nether seems a lot less scary now... The Magma Cube Pet feeds on Nether Quartz, which is pretty handy because I already keep a crap ton of that in my Feed Bag for my Cloud Pet.
The other Pet I wanted to craft was the Wolf Pet! It lets you Summon a Wolf! And since I have really been wanting a pet Wolf, I thought this would be the perfect tool to get one quickly.
Yay!!! I finally have a Wolf. I have been wanting a little furry companion to follow me around my house for a while now. I couldn't for the life of me decide what to call him, so i just called him Boo...
Thought I would show you all some pictures of what I have been going through to try and obtain Ender Pearls to make Ender Eyes... I basically get attacked by hoards of Mobs everytime I attack one Enderman. Look at that army of Creepers!! That is pretty scary, thank goodness I have my Cloud Pet to get away from them. Also, that pain in the butt Orge, coming in and destroying things, making this task just a tad more difficult than it already is. But he was also kind of helpful, because he was killing off all the other pesky mobs for me while I was trying to fight the Enderman.
Last thing I wanted to say, is that I have moved my Nether Portal. I was getting tired of having to run over to it everytime I needed to go to the Nether. So I have moved it down to where I keep my Nether Wart Farm. Decorated the area with some spooky skeletons and spiders from Decocraft. Also, moving the Portal didn't change where I spawn when I get into the Nether! So I still have that Nether Fortress right next to me, which I was really quite happy about. I am now working on building a Base in the Nether. Then I have plans to build some kind of bridge from my Base over to the Nether Fortress.... I'm really bad at bridge building, so we shall see how that turns out...
So it's out there now... I will be attempting to fight the Ender Dragon in the near future. Like I mentioned in the Chapter, any tips you have that I might find useful for staying alive in there would be really helpful and appreciated! Thanks for stopping by!
Planning for your Dragon fight already?! Holy crap, you're getting far! I spend far too much time building and farming, so I still haven't gotten that far on mine. XD
I really wish you luck on that fight! I'd suggest another mod, but I think you've got flight figured out already. XD

I have already got farming and stuff out of the way, so I thought why not try fighting the Ender Dragon? XD It is still a while away yet though, and thank you!
Today's Chapter is kinda short, but that's only because I haven't been able to play as much as I would like to recently. I still hope it's enjoyable!
Chapter Twenty One- Exploring my first Hollow Hill!
Today, I am kind of in the mood to go back to the Twilight Forest. Not to do any crazy boss fights or anything like that. I'm going to wait until after I have fought the Ender Dragon before I go and fight anything huge in the Twilight Forest. I'm just the mood for a bit of adventuring around the place. Hopefully finding some cool stuff to bring back home along the way!
But, before we go I would just like to introduce you to the newest Bunny member in Missy Hollow! It had been a while since I had tamed any Bunnies to add to my little Bunny Enclosure, so I went on a bit of a mission to find a new fluffy bun to tame. Ended up coming across this little cutie after quite some time. I decided to name her Lilo from Lilo and Stitch because I'm a big child. I thought it suited her too!
OK, now I just need to prepare for my adventure into the Twilight Forest. My Backpack is currently full of all sorts of stuff, because I went on a little bit of a mining trip just before. Going to empty everything out and just take the esstenials. Side Note- Do you guys want to see when I go mining? I never really post any mining trips in here, because I don't feel like they are that interesting. But if you wanna see them, I can start taking screenshots!
I jumped into my Twilight Forest Portal, and the first thing I decided I wanted to do was go and loot the chests inside those massive trees. There are so many of them everywhere, that it's hard to resist. The only cool things I really found were two new Saplings! I have no idea what either of these trees do, but I shall do some research and find out! I wanna research a little before I just go planting them in my World... I don't want anything bad to happen And you know that I grabbed those Fireflies. I have an obsession with those things and I put them everywhere.
While I was exploring around, looting more massive trees and taking all the Fireflies, I came across another Boss Arena! This one is for the Naga I believe. I have never fought any of the Bosses in the Twilight Forest, but I have watched people fight them on Youtube. In my opinion, the Naga looks the easiest to fight out of all of them. So maybe this guy will be the first Boss I fight in here!
Ohhhhh! I have just stumbled across a Hollow Hill! These Hills have massive Caves inside them with sooo many different ores to mine, a ton of dangerous and scary Mobs and also awesome loot! I have never been into one, and I kinda really want to go into this one. I'm a little nervous though... Hold on, let me just eat and make sure I have enough arrows, food and life left in my Sword....
And were in! It's really dark and scary in here. I have used up almost all my torches trying to light this place up a bit. There are Mobs and Spawners everywhereeeeee. Also, there are CREEPER spawners in here! I didn't manage to get a screenshot of one, but that's kinda crazy! I hate Creepers enough already, I don't need Creeper Spawners thank you very much.
I decided it would be a good idea to run and around and destory any Spawners I could find before I tried to loot any chests. That way, I hopefully won't get interrupted too much. There are SO many ores in here, but honestly I don't really feel like mining. I can always come back and collect some at a later date though. For now, I'm just focused on what is inside these chests.
JACKPOT!!! I have found some Transformation Powder!! Heard this stuff is pretty darn cool. I think you can transform Cows into those really pretty Deer that live here, and Sheep into the colorful Sheep! I am 100% going to have to use this on some of my animals.
Made it out of that Hollow Hill alive (somehow). Not going to lie, I didn't think I was going to last long, and end up dying a couple of times. But that didn't happen! Here's all the awesome loot I have got out of this adventure! I think the Transformation Powder is my favourite thing that I found. Also found some Naga Scales, which I believe you can use to make really cool looking armour! I only have 4 though. I want to make the Chestplate, so I'm going to have to come back here soon and try and collect 4 more. This isn't really everything that I got out of this adventure, there is also all the stuff that I got from killing Mobs, but let's be honest that is not very exciting!
Going to head home now, and put all this awesome stuff away. Overall, I am really happy with how that adventure went, but until next time Twilight Forest!
Once I was back in the safety of my own home, I randomly decided I wanted to add a new Backpack to my collection. I thought this Squid one was way to cute to say no to, so that's what I ended up crafting. Will most likely be using this one after I get bored of the Wolf one!
K, maybe it wasn't such a short Chapter...Thanks for stopping by!
Long time, no talk! I want to say I have a decent excuse for not posting, but the truth is I just haven't been all that interested in playing Minecraft for the past week or so. Don't know what it was, but I just went off the game completely for a bit. But, no need to fear! This Journal is still going, and I am back into the swing of things So welcome to a new Chapter!
Chapter Twenty Two- I may as well live in Noah's Ark!
Well, I may as well be living on Noah's Ark! Why you ask?? Because I seem to be accumulating quite the Zoo here. I have Animals and special Enclosures for them left, right and center. The Animal taming is nowhere near done though... Because I have gone and tamed a new furry friend, who I just couldn't resist while out adventuring one day...
I mean, who could resist a cute little Ginger Kitty? I introduce to you, Puss in Boots!!! He's from Mo Creatures. I was going to try and stay away from taming Cats from this Mod, because they are quite the pain the butt to look after. But when I ran into this little fella, I couldn't say no. Luckily, he is another animal that you can carry on your head/shoulders. So getting home wasn't too hard... It was just a really long journey, because I found him really far away from my house.
If you were wondering how I tempted little Puss in Boots to be mine forever, I had to craft a Medallion for him to wear, and then cook some fish and throw it at him so he can eat it. That is another slight downside to these Cats. They love the darn fish, and I really...truly...with a passion hate fishing (in Minecraft and in real life).
Here are all the things I had to craft in order to keep this Ginger Feline happy. Pet Food (which is made using fish and porkchop..FISSH WHYYY?), a Litter Box and a Kitty Bed. The food and the Litter Box need to be checked on regularly, so it's kinda like having a real life Cat. I didn't want to make Puss in Boots wait around too long for his home to be built, so I got straight to work with it, once I returned from carrying him 50 million miles home.
Going to be honest, I'm a little Jealous of Puss in Boot's new home. It's super cute and cosy and even has it's own garden, because I'm a crazy animal person, so even in a game I like to spoil them. I really hope Puss in Boots is going to like this... It took me a stupid and embarassing amount of time to build and make look pretty...
As you can see, I think this little Kitty is very happy with his new home. Notice that he wanted to be in every shot I took of the inside of the house? He's such a little model. Also extremely spoiled... Who gives their Minecraft Cat a whole couch to themselves? Apparently I do...
Moving on, let's give some attention to the wonderful Hippocamp creatures that exist in my world. I felt as if Hydra has been by himself for a little two long. So I went on a little mission to find him a friend. So I am happy to introduce Caspian! I found him, not to far away from where I live which was extremely convenient. He was also really easy to tame. His name came to me randomly, while I was trying to think of a name for him and I was thinking of that Prince Caspian book/movie by C.S Lewis. Honestly, I really like it!
Moving away from all things four-legged and furry, I have been doing some work on getting my current armour enchanted. Then I can finally start working on crafting and enchanting the armour I shall be using when I fight the Ender Dragon. Got some pretty awesome enchantments here! I have managed to obtain Magic Resistance? Should probably research what that's about, and Fire Protection IV on my Chestplate. For Boots, I got Protection and Unbreaking III and Feather Falling IV! Although, Feather Falling is kinda useless for me, since I have my wonderful Cloud Pet, which not only gives you the ability to fly, but also you don;t take any fall damage at all. I could fall from one of those super tall trees in the Twlight Forest and no damage would come to me... It's pretty amazing.
And then of course, I have to go and find this enchanted book in a loot chest under a Thaumcraft Greatwood Tree! What do you know, Feather Falling IV! And Luck of the Sea II? Again, might need to research what that does.
Bouncing back to animals real quick, I decided to extend my Cow and Sheep Farm! It was getting a little cramped, and I was feeling a little bad so I gave them some extra room. The other reason I did this, is because I'm considering adding Pigs to this farm since I now need Porkchop for Puss in Boots and any other Kitties I may tame.The things I do for my Animals....
Tried to make this Chapter long to make up for me ditching you all for almost a week! Thanks for stopping by!
Fun story! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
That was lit momo!!
I feel bad for being late onto reading this gaaaah :((( anyways i'll keep my eye on this thread.
I hope you have a nice day and good luck on those future chapters <3
Aww thank you!! Glad you like it
Hey Hey!
Welcome to today's Chapter!
Chapter Fifteen- Butterflies, Desert Temples and Hippocamps!
Today, I am kinda in the mood for adventuring. But I'm also kinda in the mood to build something. Except, I cannot think of anything I really need to build at the moment.... Wait, just kidding I know what I need. A Nether Wart Farm. Just noticed, I don't have one of those and I kinda need one, because I only have a stack of 40 or so Nether Wart in my Potion area and that probably won't last long.
We went underground for this build! There aren't any progress shots... Mainly because there weren't really that many to take. It's a pretty quick and simple build. I decided to put it underground, because lets face it... Nether Wart and Soul Sand are pretty darn ugly, and I don't want them showing on the surface... So I dug down a little bit and dug out a square room, big enough to make a decent sized Nether Wart Farm. If I find myself needing a lot more of it in the future, there is always expansion. I put this underground Farm in my Potion area, just because I felt like that made a lot of sense. I placed the trapdoor over it, to make it look a little better. Oh, I thought I would also go all out with it all and stick to a 'Nether' theme, so I went and stole some Nether Bricks from the Temple near my Portal and used them for the walls.
It's time for a little taste of adventure! I have equipped my inventory with everything I think I am going to need. I have plenty of food, my tools and my sword are still in pretty good shape, and I am prepared for Butterfly catching with some Jars and my Net.
So, as you can clearly tell by the pictures, this Adventure just turned out to be me finding a whole lot of Desert Temples. The first one I found, was sitting next to a Village, which I was quite happy about. The Village didn't have a BlackSmith unfortunately, but I did run around to a few of the Villagers to see what kind of trades they were doing. Also, let's just take note of that insane looking Savanna M Biome in the background of the Village. I didn't end up getting any proper pictures of it, but it looked really cool from a distance!
The second Desert Temple I found, was in a completely different Desert that I found after wandering North for a little bit. And the third and final one, I came across at that same Desert, but it was located on the very edge, as you can see. Now, you are probably wondering... so what kind of cool loot did you get from these three Temples? Pffttt, cool loot my bum bum. All three of them were pretty much a disappointment. The only semi-exciting thing that I found was a Saddle... and that's not even that exciting. I also got a bunch of gold ingots and a dashing new Iron Horse Armour... But other than that... Nada.
You already know that I went Butterfly hunting while I was on my adventure. It was worth it too, because I caught four new ones! None of them need to be killed to make the Encyclopedia. So, I'm going to set them all free in my Dome! I think the one that I like the most out of all of them, is the Acmon Blue (Male), just because it's such a gorgeous colour!
Now this is probably my favourite part of the whole adventure. Well actually, it kinda happened once my adventure had ended and I had returned home. I had teleported to a Spruce Forest not far from my Home that I had a waypoint set too, because I wanted to gather more Spruce wood for future builds. This ended up been a rather exciting wood cutting trip... Because, I found myself a Hippocamp!! These amazing creatures come from the Ultimate Unicorns Mod, and although they have a really strange name, they are such pretty looking creatures! They are part Mermaid or Dolphin or something and I love it! I had to pop back home and grab some golden carrots to tame it, a Saddle and a Lead. He was been a little stubborn at first, but I got him to be mine in the end, and I'm in love. I will just say though, it was a bit of a tedious journey home.. These creatures are not very fast on land.
His name is Hydra. Why? Because I just felt like that name suited him really well.
You are staring at the area that I have decided to build Hydra's enclosure in. I had this spontaneous idea to build him a home in water! Since he is a water creature, it just makes a lot of sense. I have got some ideas of how I want this to look, but I will need to do a bit of brainstorming and gather some more supplies. So until I have built his watery enclosure, right now he is chilling out at the front of my house, tied up to a fence post. I have promised him, he won't be there long. I'm going to try and get his home built super quick. I could put him in with Luna and Celestia... But we will see. Might have to, if his enclosure takes a little too long.
This Chapter was a bit random, and I did indeed get myself a new Pet, because you cannot stop me once I have started Thanks for stopping by!

Hello There!
I know, I'm a slacker! But I have a brand new Chapter finally here for you. Also, I have added yet another Mod to my list of Mods! I decided to finally add in Inventory Pets, because it has always been one of my personal favourite Mods! But anyway, welcome to Chapter Sixteen!
Chapter Sixteen- Hydra's Enclosure is Complete!
I have been working my butt off to get Hydra's enclosure done, and I think it's finally complete!
Here are a couple of progress shots that I took. I know, it's a bit of an odd shape, but I was trying to go for something different. I have the tendancy to make most of my builds look quite similar.
After a couple of days of chopping away the entire forest and smelting a lot of sand, the enclosure is complete! Not going to lie, it looks a little funky from the outside... I wanted to make the back half of the roof out of glass, because for some reason that's what I love to do for my pets. But then I didn't want to make the entire roof from glass, because that would have looked a little bit crazy, so I went half wood and half glass... If you just look at it from the front, it looks pretty good. And I reallllyyyy like the way the glass roof looks from the inside!
I don't have a picture of Hydra in his brand new home. But I can assure you, he really seems to like it in there. He particularly loves splashing in that little pond I made for him.
Aside from completing Hydra's enclosure and feeling very accomplished, I thought it was about time I got a serious Armour upgrade. I wasn't going to bother until the iron stuff that I am wearing broke, but come on... We are sixteen chapters into this now... I think it's time for an upgrade. I have been collecting quite a few diamonds whenever I go on mining trips, and have managed to collect enough for a full set of diamond armour. I'm very excited for this upgrade
Do I look OK? I'm going to be honest, I don't really like the armour in this texture pack, and I am thinking of changing it. But I have no time for that right now, so I'm just going to have to deal with what I've got.
While we are on the subject of upgrades, my enchanted diamond Pick finally broke. I was quite upset because I really liked that Pick. But I wasted no time in making a new one and putting it straight into my enchantment table since I was already level 30. Came out with just efficiency IV this time. Which I'm still really happy with, because at least I can still mine super quick!
Jumping quickly to the Butterfly Mania situation, I finally caught another Butterfly that I need to craft the Encylopedia! The Common Brimstone (Male) completes 5/6 Butterflies that I need. Just one more to get! I believe the last one is the Northern Brown Argus Butterfly. Not sure where you find him, but I will keep my eyes peeled.
Added the poor little Common Brimstone to my shelf with the other Butterflies that are...dead. Most of these are for the Encyclopedia, then there are a couple that I have accidentally killed, or already have fluttering around in my Dome, so I killed them for Research.
Since this Chapter seems to be mainly be about Animals, thought I would also mention, that I have obtained some Snake Eggs from Mo Creatures! I was out adventuring really far away from home, and I found a couple of Snakes roaming around in a Swamp. I felt really bad, but I had to kill them to get eggs. Ended up with 3 in total! Further into the future, when I feel like it, I will build a Snake enclosure of some kind and hatch these eggs.
Don't know if that was very interesting to read, but at least I have a new Chapter done. I'm going to try and make the next Chapter more exciting! Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Hi!
Brand spanking new Chapter! And guess what? I have added yet another mod to my modpack! Holy moly, I am on a mod-adding frenzy, somebody stop me. But I really wanted to add this Mod, because I have missed it so much! I forgot how awesome and convenient it is. I have added Adventure Backpacks! Such an amazing mod, and I feel as if it should be a staple in every modpack! Welcome to Chapter Seventeen!
Chapter Seventeen- Backpacks, Butterflies and Dolphin?
I am actually really quite excited to finally have Backpacks in my life. Backpack mods are truly beautiful and I think we should worship them more. I'm sorry, that was weird. I am in a crazy mood today. But seriously, I love Adventure Backpacks so I am not mucking around. No sir. Let's get crafting!
I somehow still remember how to craft the Standard Adventure Backpack, without having to look in Craftguide. It's really quite simple, just a little annoying to gather all the materials. Now do you really think I am going to just stop at a boring old standard backpack? Well if you did think that, you thought very very wrong...
I present to you my new Rainbow Nyan Cat Backpack! My personal favourite backpack in the mod! It takes quite a few different dyes, and you need a Music Disc. Luckily, I happened to have a couple from looting Mob Spawner Dungeons. But it's totally worth it. Look how fabulous it looks on me Now, when I go off adventuring, inventory space won't be such an issue!
Speaking of adventures, I have been on a couple recently. I really need to start taking more pictures of my adventures so I can share them with you better, but I am terrible and keep forgetting. Anyway, the first adventure I went on the other day... ended up been really random and extremely spontaneous... I of course collected some more Butterflies.
Looooook! I finally caught the Northern Brown Argus! The one I need to craft that darn Encyclopedia! I was beyond happy.... Well that was until I realized that I actually still don't have all six Butterflies that I need... Turns out, after careful inspection that I am still missing the Jutta Artic Butterfly. Shoot..darn it...bbeeeeepppppppp.... That was me trying not to swear...I did a quick bit of googling, and found out that the Jutta Artic spawns in Taiga Biomes... So pretty soon, I shall be going out to a Taiga Biome and not leaving until I have a Jutta Artic in my pocket.
As for the other two that you see in the picture, they are happily fluttering around my Butterfly Dome :3.
Now that was not the random/spontaneous part of this adventure. It was more towards the end of said adventure, and I was about ready to head home. I had an inventory full of new goodies and new Butterflies, and my food supply was starting to get low. So I was about to call it quits and teleport home... When I saw the most majestic looking creature swimming around in a Ocean I was standing near. After I got a bit closer... I discovered that it was a....
IT WAS A DOLPHIN! From Mo Creatures! As you can clearly tell from the picture, I tamed him so bloody quickly. It's really easy to tame Dolphins, you just have to keep getting on their backs until you see the love hearts. This guy was been really stubborn, but I got him to love me in the end <3. Do not ask about his name... Ralph is his name... You see when I was taming this Dolphin, I had one of my friends over. I was having troubles deciding what to call him so I asked my friend to say the first name that comes to her head (boy or girl)... And she said Ralph. So Ralph the Dolphin it is! As you can see, Ralph has been enclosed in this weird area that I sectioned off using dirt. Ralph is actually not close enough to my house that I can just easily ride him home, so I am in a bit of a pickle. I have no idea how I am getting Ralph home yet... But I will figure something out. So for now, he is chilling here and I have set a waypoint to him, so I can come and visit him frequently.
A couple of days later, I decided it was time for another adventure... This time round I had my Nyan Cat Backpack, so I was pretty excited. I set off North, hoping to come across a new Village. The other Village I had set a waypoint to, that I found yonks ago, is lacking something... Potatoes. I have just now decided that I want to finally add potatoes to my Farm. So... I need to you know... burrow some from the Villagers. While I was walking along, it was a nice surprise to come across my first Mesa Biome in this world! I have set a waypoint to it, so I can come back if I ever need a ridiculous amount of clay.
JACKPOT! After, I think it was something like 2 Minecraft days of adventuring, and camping out under the stars using the handy dandy sleeping bag that my adventure backpack comes with, I finally found a new Village! Located in a really pretty Savannah Biome. I set a waypoint to it, and decided it was going to be my new Village. This Village has potatoes!! So of course I took as many as I could. But even better, one of the Villagers is doing a trade for the Villager Backpack! The one that you cannot craft, so the only way to get it, is by trading with a Villager. This guy wants 10 emeralds and a standard backpack for it. Which I can easily give him next time I'm around here. I have got a nice little collection of emeralds going back at home.
And what would one of my adventures be without some Butterfly hunting. Caught some good ones this time! While I was at the Village, I found some really cool ones! The one that I like the most is the Orange Tiger. Thought it was really pretty! Managed to catch two, one for the Dome and one that is unfortunately dead for research. Also found a Common White Glider (Female) which I have released to my Butterfly Dome. I also got an Aura which I killed for research because I already have a live one, and I got a White Checkered Female, which is also dead for researching.
So all in all, I think my Butterfly catching has been pretty good this week
As soon as I got back from that second adventure, I went ahead and planted my potatoes. I got rid of two rows of carrots, because I really didn't need that many, and replaced them with potatoes. Now I can start eating something other than steak and bread!
This Chapter is loooongggg. But hopefully still readable! Thanks for stopping by!
Missymomo <3
Liking the choice in backpack.
May I suggest adding Extra Utilities, if just for the Golden Lasso (which tends to duplicate animals, if I remember correctly), or the Pokeball mod? It may help with moving animals around.

Hellooo!
Welcome to a new Chapter!
Chapter Eighteen- I got the Butterfly Encyclopedia!
I finally have it! Have what? Read the title! I finally have the Butterfly Encyclopedia! The other day, I went on a massive mission to find the last Butterfly I needed to craft it, which was the Jutta Artic Butterfly that spawns in Spruce Biomes. I went with many jars, my net and my determination. Looks like the determination paid off, because I caught one! Got a little too excited, and teleported home immediately to kill the poor thing and get this darn thing crafted.
It feels bloody good to have this book! I can finally actually see what Butterflies I do and don't have, can read up on all of them, and find out if the ones I have caught are common, uncommon, rare etc. I think, if I ever do catch any rares, I will be making a separate Dome for them. They deserve royalty! Also, could probably start doing research on the ones I do have already that I have killed and are waiting for me on my shelf. Once I have done research on them, I am going to put them into something called a trophy to display. Sounds kinda terrible I know, turning a dead Butterfly into a trophy... But hey, that's just the way it is.
In other news, I have FINALLY managed to get little Ralph the Dolphin home safe and sound! Before I did bring him home though, I had to decide where I wanted to put him. It took me an awfully long time to figure it out, because I'm really indecisive, and I have never had a pet Dolphin from this mod, so I was really struggling. After about 10 years of arguing with myself, the idea hit me! I could put him in the little lake that Hydra is chilling in! All I had to do was make sure the area was completely enclosed, and did the painful task of mining out a couple of layers under the water, so that it was a little deeper for Ralph to swim in. Easy peasy, and practically no building required!
While we are on the subject of Mo Creatures and pets... I may have obtained two new furry friends... Yes, I seem to be taming pets every single Chapter now, but someone try and stop me . I absolutely love the Bunnies from Mo Creatures, so I decided I needed some in my life. They are super easy to tame as well. Just right click on them, give them a name and boom! All yours. They even sit on your head, which makes getting them home 1000 times easier! I found my first Bunny roaming in a Dark Oak Forest. Tamed her and named her Liquorice :3 Quickly popped home and left Liqourice hopping around my house, while I went out and found her a friend- Peppa! A cute little black and white bunbun.
Figured my brand new bunnies need a place to stay. My house is not exactly suitable. So I built them this! It's quite big, because I do plan on taming a lot more Bunnies in the future. I really like it, and I think Liqourice and Peppa do too! They are already in there happily bouncing about. You can't tell all that well in this picture, but I have decorated their enclosure more. I added some Decocraft stuff and bonemealed the ground to add some pretty flowers!
The last topic of today's Journal, is quite an exciting one. Pretty much, the main reason I installed Inventory Pets, was so that I could obtain the Cloud Pet. You see the Cloud Pet, is pretty much the best Pet in the mod because it allows you to FLY! I know I have Celestia, my beautiful Pegasus. But I don't exactly want to be taking her places like the Nether or into cave systems to fly high away from the scary monsters. So I went on a mad mission to try and get the Cloud Pet. It took me a very long time, but as you can see I have succeeded in my mission!
After I had obtained my Cloud Pet, I decided it might be a good idea to craft a Feed Bag from this mod. It allows you to store any food that you need for your Inventory Pets inside it. Quite convenient! It saves me from cluttering up my inventory or Backpack with Nether Quartz, which is what I need to feed my Cloud Pet! So yes, unfortunately, I will have to make frequent trips to the Nether to get food for my Cloud Pet, but it's totally worth it!
There was actually more that I was going to add to this Chapter, but decided to save it for the next one. Keep you guys on edge... just kidding, it's really nothing exciting. Thanks for stopping by!
Missymomo <3
Looking good! I swear you have such a nice base. Do you have any tips for building?
Another mod suggestion! Growable Ore Reeds! Sure, the growing blocks themselves are really expensive for 8 (unless you use a custom recipe for it, like I do), but you can grow literally any ore with it. I'd also suggest Aether 2!
*also your new icon is super cute!*

Check out my survival world, Springfall!
Thank you!!! I have been writing down all of the suggestions people give me for mods, so I will add those two to the list!
I really don't think my building is anything special, but thanks! I don't really know what tips to give, I never thought anyone would ask me for them! XD
Hello There!
Posting another Chapter today, because I did something exciting. I know I said that this Chapter wasn't going to be very exciting, but now it kind of is. Sooo welcome!
Chapter Nineteen- A twilight Forest Adventure and More Backpacks!
I'm in the mood for an adventure. But not an adventure here in the Overworld or in the Nether. No, I'm talking about somewhere brand new. Somewhere quite magical. Let's go to the Twilight Forest! I have been wanting to go for a while now, but I had other things I wanted to get out of the way first. But today, feels like a good day to go. I was going to work on Thaumcraft, but that can wait. But, before we head off, I need to make the actual Portal and I am also in the mood for a new Backpack....
I present to you the Wolf Backpack! Another favourite of mine from this mod. This, from now on is going to be the Backpack I carry around with me everywhere. It's so damn cute. Makes me want to find and tame an actual Wolf. That is on my list of Pets that I would like to get... Hopefully soon!
One more thing, while we are on the topic of Backpacks. I have made a little extension onto my house, because I thought I should probably have somewhere to store all these Backpacks... So here it is! This room is connected to my little Potion area, and it is where my Backpack collection shall be stored. It took me a while to figure out what kind of way I wanted to use to display the Backpacks, but ended up sticking with using upside down stairs as shelves. I used the stairs from Carpenters Blocks so that I could make them different colours of the Rainbow using wool! Thought it looked pretty and who doesn't love rainbows?
You may notice that I have two new Backpacks sitting on those shelves that you have not seen before. The Mushroom one I crafted randomly, just because I wanted something to be sitting on one of the shelves. But I do really like that Backpack!
I also went ahead and teleported back to my new Village to finally get the Villager Backpack! I made a Standard Backpack and grabbed 10 of my Emeralds to trade. Luckily, the Villager that was doing this trade was still alive and hadn't been slaughtered by Zombies. This Backpack looks great as part of my collection and I do plan on using it soon!
OK, now it's time for the fun part of this Chapter, let's go to the Twilight Forest!
First thing is first, gotta actually make the Portal. I am making it right next to my house. Just so it's easy to get too, and honestly I don't know where else I want to put it. I have made an infinite water source and surrounded it with Vanilla flowers. Added the diamond and bammm! The Twilight Forest Portal is made! I'm excited, alright before we just go jumping in, do I have everything? Food, weapons/tools, water bucket, Cloud Pet/Feed Bag, Potions in case of emergencies... Yep should be good to go. OK, jumping in!
PFFTTTT, look where I ended up spawning!!! My Portal is sitting on a tiny floating island in the middle of the ocean! This is the first time I have had a spawn like this in the Twilight Forest. It's OK though, because there is land not far from me, so it's not like it's miles away from anywhere. I have plans to maybe expand this island a little bit, and possibly build a cute little Base for when I come here? We shall see. I have set a waypoint so I don't lose the Portal, now lets go!
Firstly, let's take a look at the area near my Portal. Ohhhh, so pretty!! And, I have spawned not far from one of the Towers that a Boss is in! If I am not mistaken, I believe that is the Lich King's house! That would make an interesting Chapter if I decide to fight him... I have never done it before, so we will see.
Travelled a little further North and found one of my all time favourite Biomes in the Twilight Forest, it's a Mushroom Forest!! Ahh, just thinking about it now, my house back in the Overworld would have looked super cute in this Biome.
I have found the Enchanted Forest Biome with the gorgeous Rainbow Treeeeees!!!! Holy it's so darn beautiful! I think this is probably my second or third ever time finding this Biome. Amazing. Must set a waypoint to this place! I also managed to find the area where the Quest Ram lives!! Will have to come back to him at a later date too.
Decided, that since I have this awesome Cloud Pet that allows me to easily fly everywhere, I would go and check out the tops of those extremely tall trees because they usually have Dungeons with Spider Spawners and Loot inside them! I managed to locate two, by listening out for the Spider sounds while standing on top of the trees. This is the Loot that I got from the two Dungeons. I think the most exciting thing out of all of it for me, are the Canopy Tree saplings!!! 100% going to be planting those in near my home when I go back. Also, Fireflies!!! I really love those things!
After exploring those tall trees, I flew back down a little closer to the ground, and spotted a Maze!! Decided, why not go into it and see what kind of loot it contains.
Those bloody scary little Spiders are a pain in the butt. So glad I have my Cloud Pet to get away from them. Also, the angry Wolves. They don't scare me, I just really hate killing them D:
After the Maze and the Dungeons in the trees, here is what I have got in my Inventory! I'm going to shove it all in my Backpack to keep it safe. Pretty lucky to find a Golden Apple in one of the chests in the Maze. Also kinda excited that I found so much Pumpkin Pie. I have been meaning to make some, but never got around to it. Now I don't need to!
I think that is enough excitment and exploration for one day. Going to head home with all my loot and go around, placing those Fireflies everywhere because they are so pretty and give off great light. I think the next time I come into the Twilight Forest, I will turn that little floating island that my Portal is on, into a proper little home that I can camp in when I'm here. Would be useful for when I want to do Boss Fights!
Exciting enough? I thought so! The Twilight Forest Mod has to be one of my favourites! Thanks for stopping by!

Nice update...I love the Twilight Forest. Not sure if you know how to make giant Oaks, but take one of those rainbow saplings and replant it in the overworld. Immediately after planting, put two glass cubes right next to it. Any blocks will work, but for some reason glass seems to work the best. Throw some bonemeal on there and !Poof! you should get a giant rainbow Oak tree. This is the same technique for regular giant oaks, but it works well for the rainbow oaks too. I had one world/house that I probably had like 30 of those things surrounding it...looked amazing.
Keep up the fun adventure!
Ohhh, cool thank you for the tip!
Hey Hey!!
Holy moly... I'm now 20 Chapters into this Journal!! That is little crazy to me, because I wasn't expecting to keep this Journal going this long... I'm really terrible at it. But I guess my love for this one is keeping me going a lot longer! Anywayyyy, welcome!!!
Chapter Twenty- Preparation for the ENDER DRAGON and Inventory Pets!
Yes, you read the title of this Chapter correctly. Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with your eyesight. But there might be something seriously wrong with me for doing this.... Yes, I have decided that I am going to woman up and fight the Ender Dragon! This will be my first time EVER doing this, which is why I'm kinda scared, kinda peeing a little bit.. Not sure if this is going to be a good idea. I'm not going to do any practice rounds in new Worlds or anything like that. Just going to straight up go in there for the first time, and try and beat the Dragon.
Now, the actual fight is still a while away yet. I still have a bit of prepping do... and not just gathering supplies... I mean mentally as well.
I have kind of put everything else on hold to prepare for this Ender Dragon fight. I have made a Chest in my upstairs room that is called The END Chest! And it's where I am storing everything I shall be taking with me for battle. Here is what I have so far:
Things I need to add:
If there is anything else at all you guys think I should bring, or if you have any tips for the nervous noob who has never done this, it would all be really appreciated!
Aside from running around like a mad chicken with it's head cut off, I have been crafting some new Inventory Pets! Mainly because I am too lazy to actually go on an adventure to find them...
The first Pet I wanted to craft was the Magma Cube Pet! Thought this would be great for Nether Trips. It gives you constant Fire Resistance and I can walk on Lava?! I need to find out if this is true, hold on let me jump into my Nether Portal real quick...
IT WORKS! I promise I am not pressing space bar to hold myself up. This is sooo cool! Been in the Nether seems a lot less scary now... The Magma Cube Pet feeds on Nether Quartz, which is pretty handy because I already keep a crap ton of that in my Feed Bag for my Cloud Pet.
The other Pet I wanted to craft was the Wolf Pet! It lets you Summon a Wolf! And since I have really been wanting a pet Wolf, I thought this would be the perfect tool to get one quickly.
Yay!!! I finally have a Wolf. I have been wanting a little furry companion to follow me around my house for a while now. I couldn't for the life of me decide what to call him, so i just called him Boo...
Thought I would show you all some pictures of what I have been going through to try and obtain Ender Pearls to make Ender Eyes... I basically get attacked by hoards of Mobs everytime I attack one Enderman. Look at that army of Creepers!! That is pretty scary, thank goodness I have my Cloud Pet to get away from them. Also, that pain in the butt Orge, coming in and destroying things, making this task just a tad more difficult than it already is. But he was also kind of helpful, because he was killing off all the other pesky mobs for me while I was trying to fight the Enderman.
Last thing I wanted to say, is that I have moved my Nether Portal. I was getting tired of having to run over to it everytime I needed to go to the Nether. So I have moved it down to where I keep my Nether Wart Farm. Decorated the area with some spooky skeletons and spiders from Decocraft. Also, moving the Portal didn't change where I spawn when I get into the Nether! So I still have that Nether Fortress right next to me, which I was really quite happy about. I am now working on building a Base in the Nether. Then I have plans to build some kind of bridge from my Base over to the Nether Fortress.... I'm really bad at bridge building, so we shall see how that turns out...
So it's out there now... I will be attempting to fight the Ender Dragon in the near future. Like I mentioned in the Chapter, any tips you have that I might find useful for staying alive in there would be really helpful and appreciated! Thanks for stopping by!

Planning for your Dragon fight already?! Holy crap, you're getting far! I spend far too much time building and farming, so I still haven't gotten that far on mine. XD
I really wish you luck on that fight! I'd suggest another mod, but I think you've got flight figured out already. XD

Check out my survival world, Springfall!
I have already got farming and stuff out of the way, so I thought why not try fighting the Ender Dragon? XD It is still a while away yet though, and thank you!
Hi!
Today's Chapter is kinda short, but that's only because I haven't been able to play as much as I would like to recently. I still hope it's enjoyable!
Chapter Twenty One- Exploring my first Hollow Hill!
Today, I am kind of in the mood to go back to the Twilight Forest. Not to do any crazy boss fights or anything like that. I'm going to wait until after I have fought the Ender Dragon before I go and fight anything huge in the Twilight Forest. I'm just the mood for a bit of adventuring around the place. Hopefully finding some cool stuff to bring back home along the way!
But, before we go I would just like to introduce you to the newest Bunny member in Missy Hollow! It had been a while since I had tamed any Bunnies to add to my little Bunny Enclosure, so I went on a bit of a mission to find a new fluffy bun to tame. Ended up coming across this little cutie after quite some time. I decided to name her Lilo from Lilo and Stitch because I'm a big child. I thought it suited her too!
OK, now I just need to prepare for my adventure into the Twilight Forest. My Backpack is currently full of all sorts of stuff, because I went on a little bit of a mining trip just before. Going to empty everything out and just take the esstenials. Side Note- Do you guys want to see when I go mining? I never really post any mining trips in here, because I don't feel like they are that interesting. But if you wanna see them, I can start taking screenshots!
I jumped into my Twilight Forest Portal, and the first thing I decided I wanted to do was go and loot the chests inside those massive trees. There are so many of them everywhere, that it's hard to resist. The only cool things I really found were two new Saplings! I have no idea what either of these trees do, but I shall do some research and find out! I wanna research a little before I just go planting them in my World... I don't want anything bad to happen And you know that I grabbed those Fireflies. I have an obsession with those things and I put them everywhere.
While I was exploring around, looting more massive trees and taking all the Fireflies, I came across another Boss Arena! This one is for the Naga I believe. I have never fought any of the Bosses in the Twilight Forest, but I have watched people fight them on Youtube. In my opinion, the Naga looks the easiest to fight out of all of them. So maybe this guy will be the first Boss I fight in here!
Ohhhhh! I have just stumbled across a Hollow Hill! These Hills have massive Caves inside them with sooo many different ores to mine, a ton of dangerous and scary Mobs and also awesome loot! I have never been into one, and I kinda really want to go into this one. I'm a little nervous though... Hold on, let me just eat and make sure I have enough arrows, food and life left in my Sword....
And were in! It's really dark and scary in here. I have used up almost all my torches trying to light this place up a bit. There are Mobs and Spawners everywhereeeeee. Also, there are CREEPER spawners in here! I didn't manage to get a screenshot of one, but that's kinda crazy! I hate Creepers enough already, I don't need Creeper Spawners thank you very much.
I decided it would be a good idea to run and around and destory any Spawners I could find before I tried to loot any chests. That way, I hopefully won't get interrupted too much. There are SO many ores in here, but honestly I don't really feel like mining. I can always come back and collect some at a later date though. For now, I'm just focused on what is inside these chests.
JACKPOT!!! I have found some Transformation Powder!! Heard this stuff is pretty darn cool. I think you can transform Cows into those really pretty Deer that live here, and Sheep into the colorful Sheep! I am 100% going to have to use this on some of my animals.
Made it out of that Hollow Hill alive (somehow). Not going to lie, I didn't think I was going to last long, and end up dying a couple of times. But that didn't happen! Here's all the awesome loot I have got out of this adventure! I think the Transformation Powder is my favourite thing that I found. Also found some Naga Scales, which I believe you can use to make really cool looking armour! I only have 4 though. I want to make the Chestplate, so I'm going to have to come back here soon and try and collect 4 more. This isn't really everything that I got out of this adventure, there is also all the stuff that I got from killing Mobs, but let's be honest that is not very exciting!
Going to head home now, and put all this awesome stuff away. Overall, I am really happy with how that adventure went, but until next time Twilight Forest!
Once I was back in the safety of my own home, I randomly decided I wanted to add a new Backpack to my collection. I thought this Squid one was way to cute to say no to, so that's what I ended up crafting. Will most likely be using this one after I get bored of the Wolf one!
K, maybe it wasn't such a short Chapter...Thanks for stopping by!
Missymomo <3
Transformation powder is awesome. It changes cows to deer, sheep to rams, pigs to wild boars and...the best one...chickens to penguins!
What saplings did you get? If you got a miner's tree sapling, you can plant it and pull ores up from the ground...pretty fun.
As far as fighting the Naga, they're not bad...a good powerful bow will be your best friend. Just keep shooting them in the head.
Now a Hydra...that's a whole 'nother story...they can be tough.
Hello!
Long time, no talk! I want to say I have a decent excuse for not posting, but the truth is I just haven't been all that interested in playing Minecraft for the past week or so. Don't know what it was, but I just went off the game completely for a bit. But, no need to fear! This Journal is still going, and I am back into the swing of things So welcome to a new Chapter!
Chapter Twenty Two- I may as well live in Noah's Ark!
Well, I may as well be living on Noah's Ark! Why you ask?? Because I seem to be accumulating quite the Zoo here. I have Animals and special Enclosures for them left, right and center. The Animal taming is nowhere near done though... Because I have gone and tamed a new furry friend, who I just couldn't resist while out adventuring one day...
I mean, who could resist a cute little Ginger Kitty? I introduce to you, Puss in Boots!!! He's from Mo Creatures. I was going to try and stay away from taming Cats from this Mod, because they are quite the pain the butt to look after. But when I ran into this little fella, I couldn't say no. Luckily, he is another animal that you can carry on your head/shoulders. So getting home wasn't too hard... It was just a really long journey, because I found him really far away from my house.
If you were wondering how I tempted little Puss in Boots to be mine forever, I had to craft a Medallion for him to wear, and then cook some fish and throw it at him so he can eat it. That is another slight downside to these Cats. They love the darn fish, and I really...truly...with a passion hate fishing (in Minecraft and in real life).
Here are all the things I had to craft in order to keep this Ginger Feline happy. Pet Food (which is made using fish and porkchop..FISSH WHYYY?), a Litter Box and a Kitty Bed. The food and the Litter Box need to be checked on regularly, so it's kinda like having a real life Cat. I didn't want to make Puss in Boots wait around too long for his home to be built, so I got straight to work with it, once I returned from carrying him 50 million miles home.
Going to be honest, I'm a little Jealous of Puss in Boot's new home. It's super cute and cosy and even has it's own garden, because I'm a crazy animal person, so even in a game I like to spoil them. I really hope Puss in Boots is going to like this... It took me a stupid and embarassing amount of time to build and make look pretty...
As you can see, I think this little Kitty is very happy with his new home. Notice that he wanted to be in every shot I took of the inside of the house? He's such a little model. Also extremely spoiled... Who gives their Minecraft Cat a whole couch to themselves? Apparently I do...
Moving on, let's give some attention to the wonderful Hippocamp creatures that exist in my world. I felt as if Hydra has been by himself for a little two long. So I went on a little mission to find him a friend. So I am happy to introduce Caspian! I found him, not to far away from where I live which was extremely convenient. He was also really easy to tame. His name came to me randomly, while I was trying to think of a name for him and I was thinking of that Prince Caspian book/movie by C.S Lewis. Honestly, I really like it!
Moving away from all things four-legged and furry, I have been doing some work on getting my current armour enchanted. Then I can finally start working on crafting and enchanting the armour I shall be using when I fight the Ender Dragon. Got some pretty awesome enchantments here! I have managed to obtain Magic Resistance? Should probably research what that's about, and Fire Protection IV on my Chestplate. For Boots, I got Protection and Unbreaking III and Feather Falling IV! Although, Feather Falling is kinda useless for me, since I have my wonderful Cloud Pet, which not only gives you the ability to fly, but also you don;t take any fall damage at all. I could fall from one of those super tall trees in the Twlight Forest and no damage would come to me... It's pretty amazing.
And then of course, I have to go and find this enchanted book in a loot chest under a Thaumcraft Greatwood Tree! What do you know, Feather Falling IV! And Luck of the Sea II? Again, might need to research what that does.
Bouncing back to animals real quick, I decided to extend my Cow and Sheep Farm! It was getting a little cramped, and I was feeling a little bad so I gave them some extra room. The other reason I did this, is because I'm considering adding Pigs to this farm since I now need Porkchop for Puss in Boots and any other Kitties I may tame.The things I do for my Animals....
Tried to make this Chapter long to make up for me ditching you all for almost a week! Thanks for stopping by!
