The Long Fall

Some people would call my love of lighting torch spam.  I call it justified illumination against nasty things that go boom in the night.  Like this guy.

Somehow a Creeper managed to spawn on one of the six available solid blocks on this level of a shelf pine.  I could hear it walking around outside, the unnatural crunching of leaves without any other sound. I think I'm actually getting accustomed to the zombie and skeleton noises - at least it means there probably aren't as many scary exploding green things outside.

Tunneling out the remainder of the tree seemed like a far better idea than going toe-to-toe with a Creeper 100m up in the air, standing on nothing but leaf blocks, and as it turns out, gravity took care of the problem for me. 

I wasn't getting low on wood, but some patches of the forest floor were far darker than I would like.  One area, near the the Shadowheart was being shaded by this (relatively) small patch of Skyvine.  I was going to chop it down!

First I had to get over there.  A simple wooden bridge did the trick, spammed with torches for nocturnal safety.  Once inside the Skyvine, it was pretty dark - but I found some more mushrooms, both red and brown.  This was excellent, I could make an endless supply of stew once a farm was set up.

Unfortunately... I was not as careful as I should have been.  I thought I was logging the trunk back down to a safe altitude.  It turned out to only be a branch, and I had a second or two to stare stupidly at the upwards rushing ground before splattering my inventory on the forest floor. 

Worse, I have no idea where that was.  Well... looks like it's back to resource farming.
