Also, I ended up dying in lava.... falling prey to ignoring my own rules and being careless. Just because you are in a Nether Fortress, does not mean you are safe from lava. I probably fell 50 levels into an ocean of lava. I almost made it out, but not quick enough.
Nope. I would never. I mean, seriously, what does it do for you? XP? OK, go enchant your weapons or something. And you just risk everything for it. Plus, it's more of "y'know, I've been playing for a while now, and I have the hugest base, all the diamonds that ever spawned in chunks, etc." once you kill it, the drive goes away. You played it for that final moment, and I'd rather not use that moment right now, nor ever.
You only risk anything if it is Hardcore. And what is life without risk? Also, in Minecraft the "drive" never goes away.... it may take a break, but only comes back 10x stronger. Kill the Dragon.... and live!
This is an great guide and it is proven through your success! I will totally use this if I ever play hardcore mode. I prefer building pretty things over surviving crazy game modes
haha I am doing ok, but I wouldn't call it success yet! And building pretty things is perfectly awesome as well.
Great guide and close to what I do although I probably don't hunt as much. I prefer to build some "farms" in my first base. I'd recommend that you do some enchanting early and not save up all your XP for 1 big one which could end up sucking big time... Just using 1 XP on a sword should give you sharpness I, using 1 on a pickaxe, shovel, axe should give you efficiency I. Those will give you a slight edge for all your early fighting and spelunking.
yeah I can see the value of doing that, but I like high level enchantments better
