I have a lot of time tomorrow, and less time on Sunday. I'm in GMT. I also have free time most evenings (after 15:30 - ~01:00)
I hear snowballs are the thing for the crystals
I have a mix of copper and iron armor, a stone sword and a bow. Let's see how that works out!

That actually sounds quite interesting. Does it come with templates? (goes to look)

Oh thanks for the spider farm by the way. I found it eventually. Tunnelled there all the way from my mountain base. And built a big ass-staircase right over the door. Got me some strings!

The gestures are so good, that my "toe in the water" machine, an M1 Air, convinced me I couldn't live without gestures on my desktop.
That, and the fact that I was starting to get wrist pain from mousing, so I went trackpad on the Mac Mini M4 and never looked back.
Well, until I tried to run Minecraft. Which doesn't work for toffee on a trackpad. But for all my day to day? Track pad it is. Especially flipping between full screen apps on a monitor is great with gestures.

trim Link ParentThere is no single player, so I won't be playing it. Minecraft on Tildes is the closest I'll get to multiplayer and others on the server know I'll usually hermit on that and play on my own mostly.There is no single player, so I won't be playing it.

I have a lot of regret to work through, but here's not the place. I might post something in life at some point.
The instruments are strange as they are such fine quality I'm terrified to play them. I should though. Maybe once a year, in memoriam.

My harp for example, and also several guitars, one of which was played by Tommy Emmanuel, and I have a parlour sized one that he made. Many ukuleles. Also boxes, chessboards, and lots of other things. Not furniture though, always smaller stuff.

It's just how I like to play :) And this is the only multiplay server I've ever used but I made some rules and I'm going to stick to them.
Actually I do this on my solo worlds too. I stress about iron, in particular, so I will not build iron gear until I have an infinite supply of iron.
Reminds me I need to make a cobble gen too.

-599, 388
I have 3 villages to, er, get resources from?(!) around and I've built a little stairway over the mountain to the rear towards two of them.
Ultimately I want to kidnap, er, persuade, a couple of villagers over to live a happy life in a villager breeder, with a view to creating an iron farm at some stage.
I have a policy of not using degradable iron things until I'm self sufficient in iron (made an exception for some shears so I could make a bed).
Anyway, if anyone's plundering, er, trading(?) these villages can you leave enough of them behind please so I can kidnap them. Er. Persuade them into my employ. I usually try and make a couple new villagers before I transport some out.
It's gonna take me a while as I have no rails, and no leads so I'm going to have to tempt them over with bread, and it's a long way, lol
I have small wheat, potato and carrot farms, please feel free to take and replant if you need some.

I think I'll take the opposite approach, go pure vanilla then add in lithium, sodium and xaero maps
Edit: Sodium Extra Settings, and turn on Mac mode to get the game to not render at stupid resolution if you have a "retina" (or any hidpi screen), and instant massive frame boost.

My food source is berries. I have stone.
Running the Fabulously Optimised modpack. Might have to do some research into if I can make this work actually well.
Seems like a decent start :)
Oh the little guys from Monster Hunter World. Cool. Yeah
