I actually rather appreciated the challenge of it. It was on FTB, so I had that map over in the top corner. I had to be very careful with my tree management, had to dig the dirt layers down to expand my tree-growing operation.
So many apples, once I got it going. Dug down below the seafloor, and then I drove a path hard to the north. Some ~1K blocks out was a desert mainland. Few minor islands before then. Out of curiosity, I then turned on godmode and flew until I was heading south of my origin. Beautiful forest but 250-400 blocks away. I kicked myself in real life.
Quote:I'm glad they added charcoal, where you can cook raw wood, but I'm not sure why they decided to make it a different item. I realize it's not exactly the same, but it's not like Minecraft is trying to be as close to real life as possible. Still, I like that coal isn't one of those thing you need to hunt down anymore.
Yeah, charcoal is much more sustainable. I tend to use it until I can get nuclear or wind/solar running everywhere... and even still: automating the process of treegrowing/shredding/cooking as much as I can still works out adequately for the start to quarries.

A nice 3x3 mountain pass or something, you can even ride a boat or horse through with ease. It's just that getting a lot of gunpowder isn't something I've been able to do easily.
Certainly
But... I prefer the mining laser, once I can get a reasonable charging center
It's not too hard, really... just gotta find a creeper-spawner (a little tricky initially), and set her up such that it drops the creepers down slowly at the push of a button (into a containment cell), from which you have them butchered en-masse. Turn them off, take lootz.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
