Welcome to Oak Coast

Part 1 ~ 7 June 2025

Played: 12 March 2025

You know the drill. Punch a tree, make planks, crafting table, sticks, pickaxe, punch through the dirt til you hit stone, and mine til you can make stone tools. And then take your axe and level a dozen trees in seconds. Wait, what?

A Minecraft player stands in front of a forest. In their hotbar is a stack of 227 logs.

Okay, this might be a bit overpowered. But tell me, do you want to stand around chopping trees for an hour, or do you want to build your starter house? That's what I thought. I'm having FUN right now.

I got halfway through the starter house before, in classic Minecraft fashion, I yearned for the mines. Sooo down I went, with a kajillion charcoal torches. Broke into a big cave at the upper deepslate layer and immediately found diamonds and a tuff/iron vein. WORTH. Over a few trips I mined out the branch for its treasures, which included my first spawner dungeon.

A chest inventory containing ores and dungeon loot, including 10 diamonds.

Back to work on the – just kidding, I got sidetracked again and built a chicken trap to collect eggs lmao. I figured it'd be a fun demonstration of the stacking mechanic, plus once entity cramming kicks in it gives feathers and food. And I have a plan for those hundreds of eggs in the far future...

A small glass holding cell containing several chickens standing on a hopper.

OKAY FINE I'LL BUILD THE HOUSE

A two-storey house. Upstairs is carpeted in the colours of the aroace pride flag.

Look, it's got the aroace flag on the carpet! And a purple awning to match my hair! :D The interior is a bit empty and likely will remain so until I get some later-game stuff.

A fenced area enclosing sheep of various colours.

And finally for now, I marked my world spawn with a little compass! It's at -128/-64 because 0/0 is in the sea. I'll put a monument at 0/0 someday!

A tiled floor resembling a Minecraft compass. Lightning strikes in the background.
