Acer’s Absurd Curved Display Laptop Has a Predictably Humongous Price Tag

Hardcore #38– learned a lesson via /r/Minecraft


Hardcore #38– learned a lesson

For the past year I have been playing only in hardcore mode. I started with a seed of 1 and every time I die I up the seed. Seed 28? Easy access to a great mesa biome. Cave Spider got me.

Yesterday I got the furthest I ever did with seed #38. Desert temples EVERYWHERE. On this one I had taken my time and finally got what I feel is the best weapon, Infinity bow with flame. Had decent farms, a villager "mall" where they were protected, etc… But after I visited the Nether, I saw my watch was spinning and decided to take a nap.

[19:26:32] [Server thread/INFO]: ######## has just earned the achievement [We Need to Go Deeper] [19:41:41] [Server thread/INFO]: ######## blew up 

Do not sleep in the nether.

Oh well, on to #39! — edit Has a nice little village right near spawn. Aww yiss. 🙂
