Dammit, this is frustrating! Every time I try I scramble for resources above ground just to be blown to bits in a matter of seconds when I venture underground. There are always a ton of mobs down there!
I was pretty well prepared. Decided to mine an entrance next to some lava I found and I did not look at where I was going. Not even a full minute into the challenge and I'm breathing in molten rocks. Dammit.
I'm gonna go play with wolves in another world now, this map is evil, haha.
@ez, would like to see you try another run :biggrin.gif:
Your avatar reminds me need to update my skin images to use a whitelisted host, have you checked your skin thread recently?

Had an idea that would prevent creature spawning like torches... use half blocks! It would take an insane amount though.
Not worrying about gathering stone-only wood. Stone will be abundant in cave. Saw 4 pigs, killed them all, and chopped down a total of 60 wood before the sun set.
Day 2: In the Caves
After riding the big waterfall, found a pool of lava. Redirected water to form obsidian, then cut off water. Made shelter on that pool. No hostile mobs seen so far.
Day: Exploration
Found lots of lava in my cave, as well as a ride deeper. -PeanutTheMan

hey, just started the 404 and i am wondering before i void my work if i am allowed to make a room bigger, see i found a nice little hole for a base camp with lava light and am wondering if i can make the space a bit more usable.
First, I want to thank Neoxx for providing a great challenge! This map is awesome! (I wonder how it was originally found?)
Anyways, I wanted to give an update on my current game (8th attempt) which I am still alive and kicking (much monster a$$, too!) and looking at the recorded footage (which I may release in the near future for all here to enjoy), I believe I've survived (despite several "ninja creeper" scrapes and one near-fatal lava "wading" incident) at least 5 hours in the 404 cave! I also just made a gate to the Nether and established a simple shelter there and collected my first glowstone! (for my tree farm) Yay for me! ;2D
I'm also reviewing my footage, and shortly I'll post the score I believe I've earned thus far.
I do have a couple questions for Neoxx and the other 404 Challengers here to review and give their input:
1) When you are exploring a cave and you hear water, a mob (possibly splashing in the water), or other strange sound behind a rock wall, is that a valid reason to dig through that wall in the attempt to find the source of that sound?
2) The Nether: Once you create a gate to the Nether, is it OK to make another gate within the Nether back to the Normal World?
{EDIT}
3) If one runs across a dungeon in the 1st Day phase, is it a valid target to exploit?
{EDIT 2}
4) Under "Gathering", can you gather these items after you're in the 404 cave, via farming?
{EDIT 3}
After reviewing about an hour of footage, I think I have scored the following:
Kills: Zombie-2 (+1), Skeleton-1 (+1), Spider-2 (+2), Creeper-4 (+8)
Collection: None (+0)
Crafting: 32 Glass (+5)
Building: None (+0)
Bonus Achievements: None (not activated)
Total Points: 17
I have video of this attempt, and here's the 1st-day portion of it (more to come later):

The Rules are one page 1. You get 10 points for having a farm of wheat and sugercane, Not mention of trees so enjoy growing them.
