Hello, James.

Hey!
*ALERT ALERT: NEW MODS*
I've been looking through Youtube mod reviews for new mods all week.

Added mods to survival:
MultiPageChest
Dynamic Lights
Ultimate Tools
Secret Rooms
Torch Levers
Obsidian Realm
Lucky Block
Minecraft Comes Alive

Removed mods: 
Pandora's Box

Why did I remove Pandora's Box? I removed Pandora's Box because I got the Lucky Block mod. I have not tried the Lucky Block mod yet but I know Pandora's Box can get very laggy. Lucky Block seems to have more reasonable randomness where as Pandora's Box changes biomes. My computer is slow already. Note that I will not remove mods without a reason.

My Today

The first thing I did was make a CraftGuide. I decided this was the first thing I should do because all of the new mod recipes.

I then went in search of a village to make a friend. The first place I went was the village near my house... the villagers were all dead. I thought, well, the other villagers at the other village must've died. I explored across the desert until I found one. And then I found it.

And then I found him.

I took him home.

I had to make my ladders I wanted him to climb up into stairs. And I had to add double doors because all the zombies were swooning over him.

These were NOT spawned in!

I expanded my house. I want to make it into a mysterious mansion with secret rooms.
Before:

After:

 I made my house non-patchwork on the outside...

But I kind of like how it looks on the inside.
I made more armor.

That's about it. Blog to you next week!

Yo!
I made another backpack and dyed my other one. My yellow one is weapons / tools. My magenta one is for food. I went to the village to collect all of the food in the gardens - and there was lots of it! I then, decided to explore the other direction, and came across a desert... villagers... Another village! I looted the place. It had a very wimpy chest in the blacksmith's place. Two apples. Two breads. But, I got a lot of veggies in the gardens. I grabbed about a stack of quicksand to do some... experiments with.

What? No! I didn't do that! Not this kind of experiment. This is just a natural thing for villagers, I guess.

Way to go, guys. Party in quicksand. Totally smart... If you wanted a swim, you realize there's a pool of water behind you, right?

Anyways, what I mean by experiment is: I'm planning to make some traps around my house and/or make a door to some place that can trap monsters and let me kill them while they're trapped. I tested it in my house and learned more things about quicksand.

Two blocks tall = suffocates, slows, and blinds
One block = slows
One below and one above = slows and no jumping

After this, I needed to mine for more coal and iron. I was too chicken to go out to a dark mine with nine torches and no coal, so I went back in the mine I already had in my house. I almost forgot about it!

I found about twelve iron, and seventeen coal. I was able to cook some of the veggies I found in the towns (what I'm going to call villages because they've been very frequent and big).

I almost cheated but the game wouldn't let me. I'm sorry I was about to. It was part of me being chicken for looking for a cave. I tried to set keep inventory to true... I turned off commands! I planned for that.

Modded Survival

Vanilla survival got boring so I switched into a Modded Survival world.
I don't have many good ones because my computer is laggy as is. These are the mods I got (for 1.7.2):
Biomes O Plenty
Damage Indicators
Mo Villages
Tree Capitator
Pandora's Box
Backpacks

My first goal was to collect food and then make a backpack. This is where I first lived:

After that, I ventured to find my own home. But that didn't happen. I found another village and it was turning night. I stepped in quicksand and nearly killed myself. I found a way out though. Yay, I'm alive! And then I remembered that I dumbly left my bed at my last house.

 And then I found another village. Something must have went wrong when it was generated.

I kept going and finally found a meadow and decided to build there. I killed some sheep and made a bed. I didn't realize it was near another village! At first, I lived in this little room:

 And then I remodeled and made another room:

 Now it has four levels. The entrance you see is the first room I made. The top level is where I hope my saplings will grow.

Sorry, I haven't been on Minecraft!

I've used some invisibility potion... Yeah. That's totally why I haven't been seen on Minecraft in a month.

Shout out to XPUnknown for not playing with me.
(Just kidding.)

So, I have been very bored on Minecraft lately because I only have myself to play with... and schoolwork is a problem... it also may be because I've been using the computer less.

Today, I finally talked myself into trying single player survival again.

Well, I didn't hide in a hole the whole time.
And I went hunting at night!
*gives herself a pat on the back*

It's actually pretty successful... So far.

I'm basically trapped on a island (where I spawned). At least there are trees. It's a decent size island with my house in the center on a hill. I haven't used cheats at all. Not even setting my spawn point (because I spawn there). I almost died of a creeper (when hunting) and then of starvation. I now have a cooked chicken in a chest with a cooked rabbit. Yum.

To do list:
Get more than 2 pieces of food
Get coal
Make torches
Make stone items (already have some stone)
Make bed
Upgrade my terrible looking wood shack
Cut down trees
Replant trees
Explore the ocean blue
Make a book and quil
Write my to do list in there

When I saw the creeper, I nearly screamed.

Why haven't I seen any zombies yet? It's silent - too silent.

Let the Skyfall! *anyrtak sings* Let it crumble! We will stand tall!
Quiet. I'm hunting wabbits.
#randomnessfromanyrtak #dontknowhowtousehashtags #brokenspacebar

So, I'll do my todo list next time on my island. Wish me luck.

========================================================================
Also, today I played Build It. Why don't people who Skype or in the same room together cheat? It isn't fun - especially when everyone leaves because of you.
I lost, I won... I was terrible at building today so sorry for all of the confusing builds!

Words I remember: UFO, snipper, chair, beer, gameboy, reflection, elbow, toe, nose, market, pyramid
That's all I remember.

Anyways...
Peace!
