Halfway to 1000 Days
Part 38 ~ 15 June 2025
Posted: 1 March 2026
Clickbait title aside, the real milestone here is that this also marked THREE MONTHS IRL since I started the world on 10 March!
As with the one month post, here's a run down of the stats!
- World stats
- In-game day: 298 -> 500. Ela has become an insomniac in recent times, using the full 20 minutes of most Minecraft days and taking only the occasional cat nap. So while it's true that I haven't played as much in month 3 as I did in month 1, the difference isn't nearly as drastic as the in game day count would suggest!
- Save file size: 1.42GB -> 1.77GB. Just a bit of new generation, mainly in the east (Alex's Mangrove), northwest (Emerald Hill), and some random flights across the centre north.
- Farthest generated (overworld):
- West: X -2944 -> -2992 (+48)
- East: X 2463 -> 2687 (+224)
- North: Z -2640 -> -2832 (+192)
- South: X 1423 -> 1471 (+48)
- Biggest stacks
- Eggs (13,818 -> 25,855). Wait, didn't I say I was gonna do something with all those eggs someday?
- Netherrack (14,950 -> 17,128). A couple more nether tunnels added to the the pile.
- Iron ingots (10,871 -> 10,512). I've made a net LOSS of iron LMAO. Crafting 500 cauldrons for powder snow will do that.
- Honorary mention: Dried kelp blocks (1,853) which equates to almost 17,000 kelp pieces! I planted a kelp field at the village, and I've phased out coal as my furnace fuel of choice :)
- Player stats
- Distance travelled: est. 550km -> 1200km. Have wings, will travel.
- Damage dealt: 20,447 -> 38,715 (+18,268). Bringing light to the kingdom is a surprisingly violent endeavor...
- Damage taken: 1,009 -> 1,596 (+587). My ratio of damage dealt to taken is over 30 since the last update! Before that it was 20. I'd just upgraded to netherite. That probably helps.
- Damage shielded: 802 -> 1,513 (+711). I've shielded more damage than I've taken this time! I like to think it's all skill, but it's probably the netherite.
- Deaths: Still zero :) Long live Sovereign Ela!
- Item stats
- Most mined: Stone (17,815). With the stone generator at Ghost Lake, this has overtaken netherrack (14,130).
- Most crafted: Dried kelp (37,481). Okay, so items taken from the furnace count as "crafted" too. This stuff has been smoking away basically non-stop while I worked on Elaville House!
- Most used: Diamond Pickaxe (28,500 -> 42,132). I've made a liar of my past self who said they wouldn't use a diamond pickaxe again – I bought burner picks to use on the stone generator! The netherite pickaxe is 2nd at 17,903.
- Excluding tools: Dirt block (4,731 -> 7,986, 6th overall). Still getting my hands dirty!
- Most picked up - Kelp (43,207). I can't kelp myself.
- Mob stats
- Most killed mob: Slime (313 -> 687). Another productive two nights hunting at Mitosis Swamp :D. Zombies are still second (226 -> 532); truly the "trash mobs" of Minecraft :P
- Total kills: 1,596 -> 3,144 (Hostile mobs: 1,229 -> 2,712)
- Villager trades: 2,911 -> 5,066. Sell high (iron), buy low (glass).
- Villager population (working): 25 -> 25. There's been a hiring freeze in Elaville XD
- Wandering trader spawns: 5 -> 12? I may have let some of them escape with their leads and thus lost count...
- Animals bred: 257 -> 270. My "Horse Racing Tests" are on hold for now lol. I bred some cool colourful frogs though!
- Advancement progress (still not targeting these!)
- Adventuring Time: 34 -> 42/52. I know there's some cold mountain biomes yet to be explored. Also mushroom islands.
- Monsters Hunted: 21 -> 28/34. We're basically down to the most cursed monsters at this point.
- A Balanced Diet: 10 -> 13/40. I tried chorus fruit. It was a moving experience.
- Two by Two: 5 -> 7/22. I've added turtles and frogs since the last count.
Map Update
Here's a little before and after of the home area between days 300 and 500.
And here's a refresh of the complete world map. Tagging all the locations was a royal pain last time, so I've just labeled the ones that are newly discovered or updated since the day 300 post. I may have to find a better mapping solution for future updates...
Onward to day 1,000 where the REAL clickbait prize awaits!
