Porkchops and Pickaxes

Sheep keep wandering onto my road… a lot of them were trapped in foliage until I cut the trees down.

I don’t mind shearing them but gosh guys please stop getting in the way of me building stuff!!

I finished the road!!

I mean. I still have to make it pretty. But I can get from one village to another super easy now!!

Gosh. I feel so accomplished.

So I’ve been working on that road connecting the villages!

It’s been taking forever, gosh…

It’s a lot of hard work… there was a mountain in the way, so I had to tunnel through it.

Here’s the view looking out from the entrance of the mountain tunnel, looking at the road I’d laid down already.

Gosh… I felt like this tunnel would never end.

But I got through it!!

I’m not done yet, but look!! I can see the church in the distance! I’m almost there!

I’ve been doing this road in dirt, as it’s been plentiful, and at first I thought I’d replace it with cobblestone later but, hmm… I kind of like the nice grassy look. I may just put cobblestone walls along the side and leave the dirt as it is.

Ah I’ll be so glad to be done with this project though!!

Okay so every time I walked between these villages, I’d get lost in the jungle so I didn’t know what sort of path I’d have to build…

But I just mapped it out and it’s pretty much a straight line!!

How convenient!

I guess I should get to work!!

Building bridges is kind of fun, hehe.

I’m thinking about building a path cutting through the jungle separating my village and the abandoned one. It’ll make it easier for me to get back to the swamp village, since I have to pass through there to get there… the jungle is really hard to pass through without getting lost!!

I’ll have to make a new map though… my current one doesn’t show the whole jungle, and I’ll need to be able to see what I’m doing to make sure I make a good path… hmm.

It’d be especially cool to make a bridge across the ocean, with a powered rail along it! But that might be too ambitious a project…

That feeling when you find a ravine with a mineshaft intersecting it, get really excited, but then the mineshaft doesn’t go anywhere and the ravine is pretty boring too and you don’t get to have an adventure.

Sigh. The desert doesn’t have very good cave systems under it.

I’ve been spending the last couple of days at the old swamp village, since I wanted to drop off an Ender Chest and grab some things I left here.

The best part of coming back has been getting to play with Mister Wuggles again!

Gosh Mister Wuggles I wish I could put you in the Ender Chest… I still don’t want to risk crossing the ocean with you…

But it’s just a legend.

I found a kitty!!

Okay!! Lights are in place, western gate is built (I’ll add other gates later, but having one is okay for now!!), I think I’m good!

Now to see whether this keeps monsters out…
