New Dad building a story for my daughter

This will be long and involves story telling, I could use some helpful ideas!

I'm new to Minecraft in the sense that I am a PS4 player only. I don't have all the fancy stuff on PC, but this game has occupied my gaming mind since it became available on PS4. It's been about 3 years total (2.5 in survival, .5 in creative) and I've only worked on one seed. I'm sure given really good builders, you can imagine what they could create. Well, I'm not that guy. Since switching my world to creative, and using helpful tutorials from Jeracraft, I have expanded my world into a great little story I feel to introduce my daughter if she expresses interest in the game. If she doesn't, hey it's been fun building! But if she does, the world I still continue to grow can tell her a story and teach her indirectly.

I've since gone back and made a memorial trip to my beginning castle which I thought was awesome, but once I started watching YouTube videos, it's not that impressive. It starts at original spawn and has a lighted path to my first night. A hallowed out cave with a door. From there, a path leading to my first death down a crevice in the earth. But you then get led to my first castle. It's glorious (to a new player), and because it was in survival at that point I think it's not bad for me!

I will then go to a nether portal that will teleport me to a jail, on the other side of my world.

This is when she will turn on her controller and be spawned in a small cell. My plan is to show her what I did, how I was new to a world that was scary … but then I learned through trial and error, how to make it through countless days and nights. And with some time and dedication, can make something pretty cool.

When she enters the world, I will free her from her cell. Where she feels is new, and helpless, but her Dad is there to guide her.

There will be signs for her to go upstairs to the library where she will find hidden books throughout looking for the secret word. The last book is called The Princess (sappy I know) and the password to the world will be her name.

Now, here's where the ideas are needed. I have built a lot of things from Jeracraft. So the library's, to houses, mansions, church, blacksmith etc … with detailed paths and greenery surrounding them. It's big, and nice. These buildings will tell stories about how this world was scary for her father, and but how he progressed as a builder to get this world ready for her, and to make it safe.

The buildings are representative of life lessons. Barracks to learn, and defend herself. A blacksmith to make her tools for survival stronger. A school to educate herself with actual books I will transpose into them. A church, if she chooses to explore, to see and learn. A farm to grow and be self sustaining. And eat healthy! You get the idea!

What other buildings do you think could help me continue my story!?!? Any help is appreciated and sorry for the long post.

TLDR: Sappy new Dad hopes his daughter likes minecraft!
