Hello Everyone! Welcome to my very first survival journal! I know there are plenty of these already, but I plan to stick to this one (unlike a lot I've seen). So yes, another vanilla survival journal, but I promise it will be interesting. That goes especially when I get deep into the game. As you have seen, my thread's name has the words "Massive Redstone Projects" in it. So of course, that means mob farms, iron farms, gold farms, huge unnecessary automatic melon farms, automatic potion brewing systems, crazy piston doors, you name it. yes I know, some of you don't like that stuff and prefer "legit" vanilla survival. What can I say? I actually did play legit vanilla survival once on my very first (PC) serious world. But now I prefer using redstone and "pushing the game to it's limits" so-to-speak (Which I still consider legit). So there you go.
Here are some goals for the world:
1.Craft 100 beacons
2.Get to Level 1000
3.Craft a stack of Enchanted Golden Apples
4.Craft a stack of Diamond blocks
5.Obtain a stack of name tags
6.Tame a super good horse, name it Henry, and give it diamond horse armor
7.Obtain the dragon egg
8.Obtain all music discs
9. Obtain creeper, skeleton, and zombie heads
10. Get all achievements
NOTE: I will be sticking to 1.8 for this world. While I do like 1.9, there aren't as many farm designs for it a there are 1.8 (obviously). Also, there are many 1.8 builds I would like to try. And if I were to start 1.9 and build some cool farm, months later a much better one would come out and I would have to do another farm of the same type (1.8 farms are STILL being created and expanded on). By the way, if you are looking for a fun 1.10+ server to play on, check if we are still accepting members here:
Happy reading!

Update 1: Here you'll see my temporary farm set up. This seed also has at least 50 horses at spawn. Seriously, it's crazy. So far I've set up a small base, cow and rabbit farm, enchantment table, and have gone mining. I also have an extra 39 diamonds I took to my base to add on to those three stacks you see. So I'd say These first 4 or 5 days playing in this world have been pretty successful:

I made an infinitely AFK obsidian farm. You don't have to go as extreme as I did, but using withers can get you tons of obsidian quickly even if you have to keep an eye on the wither until your satisfied with the amount.

This iron farm is great for those who want an iron farm that they can hide in spawn chunks without disturbing the aesthetics of Spawn!
