You could use your bucket to place lava on one side of the portal, then place something flamable on the other side. (Like in skyblock.) When the flammable thing catches on fire from the lava, the portal should activate.

or just get an iron from a zombie and a flint from a village road...
Edit: Also rakisuta I'm totally jelly of your iron swords and chest plate.
It is impossible, you can only get snowballs from shovels, which require a crafting table. You also can't make a Nether Portal as it would be very hard to find a 5 deep lava pool, then get water from the surface there, all the while not sing picks. Maybe it isn't impossible, but it'd be boring as hell.
Edit: Since when did zombies drop shovels?
I got one in an smp map once

A wise man once said, that nothing really dies, it just comes back in another form, then he died. So next time you see an ant, it could be him!

Yeah now I have some gear for when I find a mineshaft to raid, I'd recomend combing all nearby plains and deserts in search of villages! Could even save you a few blocks when making a nether portal..
And after several tries I FINALLY got the portal to light!
Also, can someone find an easy-to-remember (not a bunch of numbers) seed that spawns you near or in an npc village? Or even better, inside a village house?
Dang it. I need to find a village with a pickaxe.... Anyway Episode the third:
So can I suggest another achievement? It'll be called "Like a boss" it's where you play the whole challenge without dying.
And how about difficulty multipliers? For example if you play on easy multiply your final score 1.5X normal might get you 2X and hard 2.5X. Just suggestions. If you use them you can modify them in any way you like.
I quit counting days. I've wandered at least 15-20 days. Using bones I have aquired a dog who both makes life easier and more difficult at the same time. Havent encountered another village since the backwater slum that didn't have the decency to have a blacksmith shop or a single street light. I crave civilization, I'm tired of living off of raw beef and fearing for my life huddled in a makeshift shelter night after night. Oddly enough, having peered into at least 6 ravines I have yet to spot an abandoned mineshaft intersecting one. My quest continues.
this is a shitty challenge. 1, it doesnt make sense, if you find a village with a pickaxe it beats the point of the game, +im not going to live off apples and rotten flesh. farms make no fckin sense becaue you cant crafft bread. the dont craft a furnaqce challenge was though out better.
Well first you have to find a village with a pickaxe. Which can oft times be near impossible. Also, when the pick breaks? Furthermore you can't use it to get obsidian, getting iron is useless if you don't have a furnace, even then you can only make shears. Lapis is completely useless, redstone is very limited as you cannot make pistons or repeaters, creepers can still blow up stone/cobble, I don't even have to mention gold... And diamond you need a crafting table to use it for anything. So coal is pretty much the only thing you're going to want to get.
You don't have to live off of apples and rotten flesh, you can get raw beef, pork and chicken. If you are lucky enough to find a dungeon you can get bread there. Farms are used so that you can breed animals so that you have food. All of the raw meat can be cooked in a blacksmith's furnace.
The challenge is not possible. Reason: You need obsidian, which you need diamonds. You need iron to get the diamonds. You have to smelt the iron ore, which you need a furnace. To craft a furnace, YOU NEED A CRAFTING TABLE. To get the iron, you need stone. To get the stone, YOU NEED A PICKAXE. And to get a pickaxe, YOU NEED A CRAFTING TABLE.

READ THE DAMN THREAD. Furnaces can be found in the village blacksmith. Obisdian can be placed by using a bucket to get lava, make a dirt form, pour lava in, fill bucket with water and pour so it runs over the lava. Also obsidain blocks can be found in blacksmith chest.
Basically this whole challenge is about scavenging off of villages, rare mob drops, and abandoned mineshaft/stronghold chests.
So can I suggest another achievement? It'll be called "Like a boss" it's where you play the whole challenge without dying.

Thanks, I'll add these to the achievements and score system.
This time, I actually did die, but not by a creeper.
I managed to escape from the creeper, despite the fact that it was right in front the the door. First, there was only one, it just kept moving between the door and the window. (That new AI is scary!) I knew I had to act fast, because the villager inside with me could open the door and let the creeper in any moment. So, I broke a block off the ceiling above the chest, then used my two dirt to jump up there. As soon as I escaped the house, the villager opened the door. When I looked around from the ceiling, I realized there was only one creeper. I replaced the block from the ceiling, then sprinted off the house and ran to the ocean. The creeper followed me, and I managed to defeat it with my bare hands. Unfortunately, no gunpowder dropped, and in the heat of combat, I did not take any pictures. When I returned to the village I noticed two things: the only villager I could see was the librarian that spent the night with me, and it was already sunset. So, I went back to my house. During the night, I saw this:
This would cause a lot of trouble later. The librarian was in a house next door, and I noticed a zombie in front of his door. When daytime came, that villager opened the door! He was immediately killed by the zombie, and I realized what happened to all the other villagers, and why the zombies the day before came after me when night ended. The zombie and skeleton left in search of shade, so I went outside. Unfortunately, two skeletons were waiting, protected by a roof and a house, and I barely managed to escape.
I went outside again, and immediately died.
When I returned to the village, the monsters had despawned, so I spent the rest of the day building a hole, luring pigs with wheat from the farm, then pushing the pigs into the hole.
The next day, there were curiously no monsters. I spent that day gathering wood, cooking them in the blacksmith to get charcoal, then making torches. I scattered 16 torches around the village.
This is my current inventory:
Sorry I haven't been able to post my progress of this challenge in a while. I've been busy (read my location), plus I'm working on a map, a mod, and a story, in addition to me repeating the same thing every minecraft day of this challenge. But finally, I've made enough progress worthy of another post.
I dug underneath my house to attack any monsters, inspired by Shindokaku's first video of this challenge. I never see any more monsters in the village, however, ever since I placed torches everywhere. But just a precaution...
I killed another creeper, and this time, it dropped two gunpowder! The gunpowder is useless, though, until I get blaze powder for fire charges.
I got lucky enough to get two apples from one tree.
No! It's raining! I'll be staying in my house for the entire day, I guess.
This is pretty much what I do every day. Harvest wood, cook some of it, turn the rest into wooden planks. I made a lot more torches, and scattered even more throughout the village. I'm using the wooden planks to improve my farm.
This is my improved farm. I'm not even close to finishing it.
This is my inventory. Now, time to wait the rain away.
Didn't think about this, will try! Thanks.

That seed broke with the 1.2 update (new jungle biome = all seeds broke).
So can I suggest another achievement? It'll be called "Like a boss" it's where you play the whole challenge without dying.

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..

No wonder I couldn't find the village! Until now, I always thought the dash in most seeds is not important. Thanks!
