Adventures in Minecraft Episode 1

     What's up audience.  Today we are going to go on an EPIC adventure through Minecraft ......... We have finally spawned in our new world. First thing we must do is gather wood.  So we have now exited the snow biome and we are going to go gather some spruce wood.  I am walking through the woods looking for spruce trees.  This is particularly dangerous since it is night time.  Suddenly, I am attacked by a spider.  It is very hard for me to kill him without a sword.  After a couple of minutes, I finally manage to kill the dang thing.  I continue through the forest in my mission to find some spruce trees, when I hear the sound of a creeper behind me.  I started to run as fast as I could, but it was still following me.  Luckily, there was a cave and I was able to hide from the creeper.  Unfortunately, when I turned around, there was a zombie right in front of me.  It tried to attack me, but I super punched its FACE in.  When I looked at the sky , it was day to my relief.   Then in the distance, I see it.  A big grove of spruce trees.  I chopped down the whole grove.  The next thing on my to do list was to make house.  YEAH!  I plan to make it four blocks high, with a fancy roof.  And the floor won't just be dirt, it will be wood.  I think I will make my house on a beach, that way, I will never run out of water.
     Now that I have my house finished, I need to craft a crafting table.  To do that, I need to place four wood planks in a square.  Now that  I have that out of the way, I need to craft tools.  I will need a pickaxe, shovel, axe, and a sword.  Crafted those, now let's go mining.  Once I have some cobble, I can make some cobble tools instead of these wooden ones.  The cobble tools are a bit stronger than the wooden tools.  I go back into my mine and started mining, when a little ways in, I found a bunch of iron.  I immediately mine it and go home and smelt it in my furnace.  I then craft iron tools and go out hunting for sheep.  I gathered enough wool to make a bed, so I can finally sleep through the night.  I decided to go kill some spiders to craft a bow.  I go out, and by the time I get home, it's night time.  I craft a bow, and store the extras in a chest.  And it's not one of those pansy small chests, it's a large chest.  I go to bed, but in the middle of the night, I am attacked by a zombie.
     I am forced to get up and kill the zombie.  Luckily I was holding my sword when I went to bed.  Awesome!  He dropped FOUR pieces of rotten flesh.  I picked it up , put it in my chest, and went to bed.  I fall asleep, then I'm shot by a skeleton that somehow got into the house.  I kill it easily, then I eat a midnight snack.  I go back to sleep, and this time I make it till morning.  I go into the mine and I found , HOLY DIAMONDS!  I mine them immediately, and I got ten diamonds.  I go home, make a pick and sword, and go out to collect some sand.  Because I really need some windows in my house.  I get about ten sand, and smelt six of it into glass blocks.  The other four I made into a sandstone block.  I go into my bedroom and put two windows in there.  Then I go down the hall to the living room and put two there.  I then go into the bathroom and put one there.  The last one, I put in the wall separating the two rooms in the basement.   I know what you're probably saying too yourself.  "How did he do this in such a short time"?  I didn't.  It took me hours to do this.  I just didn't want to bore your brains out by going through EVERY little detail, like some other Minecraft blogs.  I like to entertain you with the REALLY exciting stuff.
     Now,  the house only took me about half an hour to build.  But the the extra rooms and floors were about an hour.  At least now I have a very nice house.  It even has a working toilet and sink in the bathroom.  It was very hard to build.  And you have to go down ten blocks on a ladder to get to the basement.  All the rooms in the house are pretty big.  I had to chop down two extra spruce groves just to finish the house.  The basement is mainly cobble, except for a few parts.  Like the storage closet, and the washer and dryer, and the bed.  But other than that, it's made of cobble.  And the upstairs has the master bedroom, a bathroom, and, A RESTERAUNT.  There even tables and and menus.  You can even sit at the counter or the high, fancy tables.  You can order lots of different food and drink items.  Like lemonade and soda and bacon.  There's even daily specials and appetizers.  There things like golden apples and pumpkin pie too.  It is open seven days a week, from dawn to dusk.
     Hey guys, hope you enjoyed this episode of  Epic Minecraft Adventures.  Hope you, the audience, are in suspense for the next episode.

My character

Ok. So this is the story of my character.  First off, the least important part.  The story of my skin.
     The first part:  The Attack
     So the first thing you need to know is about shrines for Herobrine, and Herobrine himself.  Herobrine is supposedly the dead half brother of Notch, the creator of Minecraft.  Though his player is dead, R.I.P, he still lives on.  He will pop into single player worlds and kill the player.  If you see him, he will either be carrying nothing, or a diamond sword.  He has the default skin except his eyes are blank, or even just completely white.
     Now that you know who Herobrine is,  I'll explain the shrines, and what they are and what they do.
     It is said that if you build a shrine to Herobrine, he will come to you, or it will attract him.  Let's learn how to build one.  So first, you have to build a small pyramid out of gold blocks.  And at the top, place 1-2 blocks of netherack and lite it with flint and steel.  You may also surround it with glass if you like.  What the glass does is if it is broken, that means Herobrine has been there and destroyed the glass blocks that are broken.  It also helps to attract him if your holding as many gold things as you can.
     The next thing you need to know, is that I have been attacked by him.  I was playing in a LAN world with two of my friends,  we all built AWESOME shrines with statues and everything.  We turned it to hard, set our render distance to tiny, and he came.  We got really scared and turned it to peaceful and he was spawning mobs on us.  Next, he took over my friend Jared's character.  I know this because he took his hands away from the keyboard, and he was still moving on screen.  And the final thing that Herobrine did, was teleport my friends out of the world.  Then my friend Quentin closed the world.  And after that, I changed my skin to Herobrine so I would NEVER forget that day.
    Next for my goal.  My goal in Minecraft is to build an end portal and fight the ender dragon.  I will need good armor, tools, and weapons.  I will need more than 1, even 2 stacks of arrows.  I don't know how to build an end frame, but I'm sure I'll learn.  Plus, there is a specific way to place the ender eyes.  Once you're there,  you will have to destroy the ender dragons healing cubes.  Again, you need a bow and lots of arrows to destroy them.  If you just try to kill it straight up, you will fail.  You need to destroy the healing cubes, or the dragon will just continually heal itself.
     There are also LOADS of endermen in the end.  Don't look directly into their eyes, or they will attack you.  Also,  endermen can teleport and pick up certain blocks.  I don't think they can pick up end stone, which is what the end is made of.  Oh, I almost forgot to explain what the end is.  The end is basically a giant floating island in outer space.  There is bedrock if you try to dig to the bottom.
     There is also the nether.  The nether is basically the hell of Minecraft.  There is lava and fire everywhere.  And if you're not in peaceful, there are ghasts and zombie pigmen.  All you need are 12 pieces of obsidian and flint and steel.  You light the portal with flint and steel, and it should fill with a glowing purple substance like water.  Once you step into the portal, you screen should glow wavy purple, then it will teleport you to the nether if you just wait.  Then you should be in the nether and you can go mine soul sand, netherack, and glowstone.
     That is just about it.  Next time I will right about new adventures and possibly throw in a couple crafting recipes.  Till next time, goodbye.
