[Let's Play] ~ Minecraft
Many moons ago, before I got my new PC and I was gaming on my laptop, I had started a brand new Minecraft world with intent to add to it over time and build it up into a vast world filled with towns, cities, points of interest, everything!
But then... I bought my new PC. So excited I was to finally have a Glorious Machine of Exceptional Capability, I swiftly formatted my laptop and presented it to my son. It was now his.
When I did that I may have inadvertently deleted my Minecraft world. Woops. XD
Over a year later I have the motivation to begin this endeavour once more. I present to you the beginnings of a new Fan'driel. A survival world that I will, once again, build up over time.
And this time not inadvertently send it to the void.
This time, instead of hunting for a decent seed for hours, I decided to google Minecraft seeds and found this interesting looking one where you spawn in a cherry blossom biome that rings around a giant crater.
It looked like a nice enough spot, and so I dove down into the crater and began my mine. The first great steps of this grand new Minecraft world.
First thing's first — well, apart from mining — I performed some basic terraforming. I wanted the inside of the crater all nice and flat and I was going to fill the thing with ponds and waterfalls!
Back-and-forthing from terraforming to mining back to terraforming, I discovered a very conveniently placed mine-shaft in the midst of my tunnels with a very conveniently placed cave spider spawner for XP purposes.
Investigating the mine-shafts, I soon discovered several cave spider spawners! And legged it the hell out of there before they poisoned me to death. I surrounded the first one with torches though and will be back to build an XP farm at a later point.
In the mine-shafts I also found an enchanted golden apple that I'll never eat but gaze upon in wonder - woo!
And then it was back to more aesthetic terraforming and decorating.
My next step for this first little crater is to find a swamp and bring back some lily-pads for those ponds, some vines, some of the tall purple flowers, and I might do some seating around the area too. Maybe a gazebo.
Unfortunately I find myself having to go off and hunt for food more often than I'd like, so my actual next steps are to prepare some farmland.
Outside of the cherry blossom ring are some meadows, rivers, and forests. The immediate area are the meadows and so I build a giant staircase down, down, down the crater-side until I reach where I would like to start doing some more terraforming.
Unfortunately I soon discovered that the area to the left led down to a massive cave system, so I decided to work on the right side first and work out what to do with the cave system later.
I was barely a quarter of the way through my terraforming plans before I groaned and wished I had enchanted diamond tools.
I kept on going on with iron tools for as long as I could though. Food's important after all, so I kept grabbing a bunch of fish and cooking those up whilst continuing my painstaking endeavour.
84 years later.
I'm slowly getting there. xD
I'm going to flatten it all out to the back "wall" in the above screenshot, and extend out the flatness towards the river. Down in this valley will be cows and wheat but I'm going to design the area so they're more free-ranged rather than penned. Well, the cows anyway, not the wheat.
I'll work it out! In about 15 more pickaxes and 30 more shovels. 😵🤣
Either way. This is New Fan'driel! My own personal Minecraft world that I plan to build onto and expand as time goes on. 😊 I will share progress as I continue onwards transforming this place into a proper little virtual world.
Until next time! ⚔️✨
There are sakura trees in Minecraft now?? They sure have added tons of new things while I'm not looking...
The decorated place looks really pretty! The dead pickaxes and shovels would be proud :P
Yes! Cherry blossoms came in the last big update and I've been waiting and waiting for the creators of my texture pack to update for them. xD Finally they did. One of the reasons why I decided to dive into all this Minecrafting now.
They've added heaps of stuff over the past few updates. Archaeology came in with the cherry blossoms, and also a new biome deeeeeeeeep under the ground in the darkness. They revamped biome generation and added in gigantic caves, cute little axolotls too! 😊
Archaeology?? That's interesting... If I go back to Minecraft now, should I play Bedrock or Java?
In general, it is possible to recover deleted Minecraft worlds (there are articles about it), but maybe not after formatting the hard drive/SSD of the laptop. Best to make a backup of it. Especially if you work many hours on it.
Good luck and have fun.

(no space) to get help on Hive. InfoThis game is my son's favorite, he even made structure like windmill with it. If I may ask, what is the learning curve of this game? Is is hard or easy?
It's one of my son's favourite games too! The learning curve is pretty easy. 🙂 The most difficult thing would be learning redstone wiring to create in-game electronics.
I see, thank you for the response, have a nice day ahead.
I'm keen to see your progress build up?!!
What are you planning on putting down, laughs this is much like Rust, just not as good graphics!
I've been looking at upgrade kits on Evetech and I really want to get myself one! The problem is, if I get an upgrade I'm not going to make use of the laptop as much!
There's always use for a laptop even once/if you upgrade to a desktop. 😃
My laptop is a proper gaming one, and I was so used to laptops because I used to take it around wherever I went, to people's houses, etc. But there came a time when I realised... hey! I'm not taking this everywhere anymore? Why not just buy a PC? And yeah, gave the laptop to the kiddo.
beautiful that biome, and be very careful with the caves.
Hi @kaelci, too bad you no longer have that world, but the positive thing is that it is already doing it again, Minecraft updates are getting better and better, I want to play it, but the bad thing is that I have to buy it, but well when I have money I will buy it and maybe I can play with you.

congratulations on your new PC and you really worked hard flattening all that land that was gigantic
The new PC is an old PC now, over a year old. 😅 But thanks! A lot more flattening to go!
I remember when Minecraft first came out and the hype around it. I played it and thought it was just overhyped. In fact, it's the same opinion I still have today, but it's awesome to read about your adventure!
The crater place is very beautiful, I love the new sakura trees, although I am somewhat distant from Minecraft, I took a walk when they implemented them and they are really beautiful, it is hard work to flatten, but I look forward to the constructions of this new world

Very cool spawn, Cherry Blossoms are the best!!! They added them way too late.
Those Cave spider spawners are one of the worst in the early game, they can just get you super quickly.

Yesss. I love all the different tree types and was stoked when cherry blossoms finallllyyy got introduced.
Cave spider spawners are my favourite spawners! I turn them into little XP farms and I'm very happy I found a whole heap of them pretty much straight off the bat. Scared, but happy. XD
