    We use Pandoc at my workplace to convert old Word documents to Asciidoc. It's not perfect, but gets you 80% of the way there. Having to install and run it locally was always a hurdle for the less technical people, so this is a pretty nice development. :)

    Similarly, but not the same:
    Furnaces:

    • Hoppers on top load things to smelt
    • Hoppers on the side(s) load fuel (coal, sticks, wood, lava buckets, etc)
    • Hoppers on the bottom pull out results of smelting (including empty buckets produced from feeding in lava as fuel!)

    I was minding my own business at the top of my tower this evening, when a new friend stopped by to say hello.

    This is one of the biggest selling points for me TBH. Thanks tea for making it happen! "Tildes: Come for the conversation, stay for the Minecraft!" (tagline probably needs some work)

    My oldest kid made the same connection when he was watching over my shoulder last night. Looks even more atmospheric with your complimentary shaders.

    Another option if you really don't want a glass ceiling is to just light up a larger radius around your base. IIRC zombies have a max detection range of 40 blocks, so with enough of a non-spawnable buffer they would sit far outside the detection range and never come near. Moats and rivers are also good options, depending on geography and preferred aesthetics.

    The guardian farm is awesome BTW. I had to re-enchant some gear last night (series of unfortunate events) and it was so quick for gaining lots of levels.

    I think someone else mentioned that it's so refreshing to see someone experiencing the game with fresh eyes, and that's how I feel too. I love reading about your discoveries about aspects of the game that I have sort of taken for granted. It allows me to remember what made me fall in love with the game years ago. :)

    Do we have a hoglin farm yet? I found that pretty handy last season for getting leather and porkchops.

    A hoglin farm might also be useful for pork chops and leather.
