Create a new world... random seed...
Generating a new world...
For some reason, I'm nervous but also excited at the same time.
It's almost done...
I am alive.. in Minecraft!
I spawned in the #taiga biome, similar to my trial. I think the taiga biome is the most common Minecraft biome? Having learned from my trial, I proceeded with the textbook guidelines and my greatest achievement of the day is…
TA-DAAA! Here you go, my first house!
Uh... what? A dirt house? No, it’s partially dirt.
…
Okay, fine, it’s a dirt house. To my defence, though, a dirt house is the first house built by every first-time Minecrafters. At least I have some space to walk around after placing my bed, crafting table, furnace and chest!
As you can see, I build the house below a tree. "Inspired" by PewDiePie, yes, it’s a clever way to save some dirt blocks for a roof.
Now that my house is done, it’s time for extensive mining. What’s my luck with diamonds in this proper gameplay, I wonder?
For some reason, I decided not to mine close to my house and wandered around instead. I think I walked for about 200 blocks when I spotted something…
Civilisation... is that a village?
I may have taken most some of their souvenirs for my own keeping.
My. First. Minecraft. VILLAGE! What a lovely place to visit *and plenty of resources to loot*!
The village spawned at typography with such drastic changes that it looked like two complete villages:
Look at the screenshot above. It felt like the cottage at the top is the dwelling sanctuary of the guru in a typical superhero movie. And what would that be, you wonder?
Well. Every superhero starts with a defeat by his/her nemesis. The superhero is then forced to retreat and recuperate/re-learn/reflect from a guru.
And where does the guru live? On top of a secluded mountain, completely cut off from any civilisation. Doesn’t this view look exactly like it? :P
I spent my night there. Next morning, I paid every villager a visit.

*coughs in Minecraft*
What's next on my Minecraft bucket list? Treasure hunting, of course! So I crafted a boat—and bon voyage!
As expected, I found some wrecked ships containing treasure maps. Rowing to the “X marks the point” isn’t hard. The main challenge lies in digging: how am I supposed to pinpoint an exact block when I don’t know any of the coordinates?
In fact, I found the X rather ambiguous. I even tried locating myself directly at its middle, i.e. when I cannot even see my location anymore under the X.
Then I started digging.
What. A. Pain.
Nevertheless, I found the chest. My estimation is so imprecise that I actually “overdigged” it. I opened the chest… and wow! My first set of TNTs!!
Enough of treasure hunting, I returned to my sanctuary. Yes, sanctuary.
On my way back, however, I somehow ended up on ice mountain... I'm in a snow biome, perhaps? Can’t say this is an unfortunate turn. Look how beautiful the scenery was!
Then I came across my second village, which is at the snow biome. I love their outfits—they definitely look very cosy.
Before wrapping up this article, below are other screenshots that worth sharing (not in chronological order):
That’s the first few days of my Minecraft journey—I am concluding this as Phase II: First Spawn. If you’re wondering what Phase III will bring, then keep tabs on this blog or updates on my social media accounts. See you!
