Day 1

I spawned on a swamp island. I quickly made my way to the main land and acquired wood as well as pigs. I found a cave that went down to about ten blocks below the surface and found enough iron for some armor, a pick, a bucket, and a sword. It was nighttime so i proceeded to dig down toward the y coordinate of 11. When I got there i found enough iron for full armor as well as more picks. I went back up and found it was daytime. I collected some sugarcane and killed more pigs. I then returned to mining and found a cave. In that cave I found twelve diamonds as well as some gold. At this point I had hit level 20 so I decided the next order of business was to make bookshelves and an enchanting table. Cows were nowhere to be found. I walked 1000 blocks until I hit ocean and found about 10 cows along the way. During the night a couple of creepers almost blew me up. The sun rose and the hour was up.

Day 2:

I spent the first day walking back to by base. Finally, I made it back.
When I got back I mined enough obsidian for a portal and an enchanting table. After this, I was still short on leather so I walked 2000 blocks in another direction. On the way I encountered a cluster of mountain cows.

Even after this sighting I was short. Horses became tempting sources of leather.

I eventually got the 46 leather needed for the required number of bookshelves. During this excursion, I fought an endermen and got an enderpearl. Also, I encountered some of the new snapshot biomes

The last cow needed was in one of these new biomes.

The rest of the time was spent backtracking to my base. When I got back I had a mob infestation. I was very low on hunger so it required so tricky footing to get inside the small hut.

Also, I found some sugarcane along the way. Here's my items at the end of two hours of play.

Day 3:

The hour started off at the end of a night.

Enderpearls will become a limiting factor quickly, so I decided to try to gather some. I found one, its hard to see in the picture, but its there.

I ended up chasing the jumpy thing through the day getting one hit in at a time before another teleport. I got a couple of hundred blocks away from my base.

I did get a pearl.

With some daylight already gone, the cane farm was more pressing than ever. I need 135 pieces of cane to make 15 bookshelves with is a little more than two stacks. I plant the forty I have so they only have to grow two or three times.

Unloaded chunks are never a thing of the past...

I got some wood ad decided to start on a house. When nightfall came the walls were unfinished making it a rather unsafe place. The ceiling and floor also weren't finished but that isn't really important.

Decided to go mob hunting again.

I found a skeleton wearing full chain mail. Chain mail is hard to find, always damaged, not really good, and hard to know if it is being spelled correctly. But it is rare, and that's all that matters.

Got two pieces off of the skeleton. That was lucky.

I also got another enderpearl.

I killed four other endermen that night and chased one into the day. No pearls means wasted time.

I almost died at one point too, but fortunately I was near a source of water that the endermen couldn't touch.

Harvested my cane farm.

Worked on my makeshift house during the rest of the day.

My wall one block up does not work for all mobs.

After having a creeper spawn in my base that I wasn't prepared to take a screenshot of and enduring other mobs my house looked incomplete, but intact.

Got some sand for some glass.

Started the roof.

Since I was already at level 30, and just needed a few more pieces of sugarcane to get a level 30 enchant, I did not want to risk fighting mobs all night for one of two enderpearls. I instead slept.

My half-done house after the hour.

My items after the are really the same as last time with a lot more mob drops.

Day 4:

The first order of business was collected the final pieces of sugarcane needed for the fifteen bookshelves.

Wood was of course my limiting resource causing my crafting of the shelves to go late into the night.

I decided to put my enchanting room in a hole. It seemed appropiate.

Finally, an enchant.

Fortune 3 was lucky. Lucky enough that I'll probably lose it. I decide to spend the rest of the night hunting enders. No endermen until the crack of dawn as usual.

I managed to back myself into a corner while after slaying the endermen.

I did get a pearl though.

I wonder how this happened.

The house is starting to look a little weird after a day of building. It is intended to be a small outpost, but it looks more like a dog with no face.

1 pearl.

1 creeper.

1 creeper I didn't see.

The endermen always show up in the daytime. Its starting to get annoying. I'm supposed to be hunting monsters at night, and then I spend half the day chasing the teleporting beanstalk.

After another day of building my outpost looks slightly better. It also looks more infested though.

My armor is broken and I'm out of iron.

I decide to sleep it off.

I build for one more day and am satisfied with the outcome. I don't really have much more time for building this week if I want to beat the enderdragon. Here is a tour!

-The Outside from a Slightly Different Angle-

-The Inside-

WIth the last minute a made a nether portal.

Here are my items after the fourth hour of play.
