Decided I wanted to give Hardcore another shot after having not played the game for a while. I was playing cautiously and focusing more on building and developing the world. While I had been intentionally doing my mining through strip mines, I happened upon a massive cavern and decided to light it up to prevent mob spawning so I could safely explore it. In that process, a Baby Zombie snuck up behind me and made my skill issue extremely apparent.

Had me on 1 heart, and I was more focused on running than looking for a ledge

Probably the best interior work I've done

I think I've really hit the nail on the head this time. I've reached enlightenment.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.

See this as a game.

Ever since the Nether update.

THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY. (Microsoft Mojang)

Clearly don't.

I am looking to start a hardcore world (java) and was wondering if anyone has any recomendations for mods, and qol things to add to the world before starting. I want the world to be as vanilla as possible. And if anyone has some good seed recomendations for a builder let me know!

so like im sure alot of ppl experience this at least once or twice in their survival or hardcore world. its the point where its just so boring. like you log on and run around but not actually accomplishing anything. its not like im bored of the game or anything, its just that i dont know what to do really. i have goals that i want to achieve but i just dont feel motivated to do it. I have a wip auto storage system in the works, currently just finishing the exterior but its like im not very motivated to do that. i also need to build a trading hall sometime later. sometimes i just log on to my other modpack just to practice pvp but thats around it. help me please thank you all!

Are you not allowed to place ladder while falling?????

The set up seemed pretty good. I was gonna place a ladder all the way down a 1 block hole that goes all the way down to Bedrock.

It was originally a 2 block hole which I filled as I went back up.

There were torches along the way.

Been keeping you guys updated fairly regularly.

I beat the Dragon on Day 270, beat the Wither on Day 346.

I've cleared three Ocean Monuments and have more than a stack of sponges. I've cleared three Bastions and two Nether Fortresses. Cleared my first Woodland Mansion last night.

Today/tonight I spent most of my time setting up connections in the Nether between my favorite spots on the map. Especially between the village I've decided to make my permanent home, some 14000 Blocks from spawn, and the Woodland Mansion I discovered.

So I put one portal on the second floor of the mansion at the end of a dead-end hallway, and the other in a crater at the center of a snow-covered mountain top near the village. Paths I made to reach them require the Elytra, but I made various landing platforms to make it easier.

From here, my goals at this point are:

• Starting construction on my permanent home base later this week. I'll probably start gathering materials tomorrow with a few shulker boxes.
• Massive project I've found a perfect spot for near the Woodland Mansion.
• Start hunting for an Ancient City.
• Considering getting every advancement. I'm very close to getting the "Adventuring Time" and "Monsters Hunted" advancements. Only need to find one more biome for the former, and only five more enemies for the latter. Already found all the biomes in the Nether.

I'm at that point now where I've done all the major challenges the game has to offer.

Dragon, Wither and Elder Guardians are all taken care of. Will probably fight the Dragon at least one more time, and plan on fighting the Wither several more times to get more beacons.

So now I'm just thinking about what I'd like to do in this world now.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Recently started a Minecraft world (100 days in so far) and I’m wanting to make sure I have maximum protection against stupid deaths.

I’ve heard that having 3x protection (helm, chest and boots) and 1x blast protection (legs) is the ‘best’ for survivability. Is the trade off of protection beneficial or worth it for circumstances where you might be caught in a creeper blast where you have an eleytra on? Or is it more worth to just keep rocking full prot IV

Thanks for the help ! :)

World 1: I die because I hit an iron golem and didn't stack blocks high enough because of a miscalculation of one block so I die to an iron golem

World 2: I die because I was landing In a pool of water but was holding a bucket which collected that pool of water so I die to fall damage

World 3: I die because I was in a cave and I was talking to someone and didn't pause the game and zombies killed so I died to carelessness

World 4: I hope I don't die

NOTE: I have not even survived at least 5 days in any of those worlds
