Success is by no means assured.

Tree Mining


Trees are a necessary evil.  While wood is unquestionably vital, leaves shade the ground and make it possible for monsters to spawn.  For that reason, I take every oppertunity to get rid of as many leaves as I can, especially along the beach.  Light means safety.


Unfortunately tree chopping almost always results in tree falling - that is, my inept blocky self plummeting from great heights.

As the skywalk slowly creeps along parallel to the beach and I do my best to avoid falling, I spot another chest - this time mostly in the open.


The first attempted underground plundering doesn't come up exactly where I was aiming.



Try number two though, has much better success!


A bucket!  The stew is nice, but the bucket is the real prize.  Now I can make infinite water streams and expand the wheat farm as much as I want.  No lava that I've seen so far, but based on past experiences that's probably for the best.  I spend a few days puttering around, trying to decide on the next step of exploration.  Crossing a few shelf pines above the skywalk, A huge tree emerges from the fog.


I had my next destination.
