Now, finale usually indicates a climactic ending filled with suspense and awesome, and while I can provide awesome, it's more of a satisfying "sweet" finale. I have established a base a good ways away from my spawn point, I traveled through the nether and successfully secured a safe path between the portals, and I've even turned to decorations and other neat things.
My base looks awesome at night.
I cleared out the dirt to make a flat courtyard; I found a small tunnel behind the back wall to use as an escape route; I hung my first picture on the wall; and my best achievement is an actual mini-port.
Half-blocks prevent water flow, yet allow me to exit the boat easily.
I spent several days spelunking with plenty of success, mining plenty of gold, diamond, and redstone. I started a small farm and was pleased by how easy it was to build off just one seed.
Mmmm... Wheat!
But best of everything was just wandering this new region, with amazing mountain formations and huge forests; it's truly breathtaking to stand on top of a mountain with the fog set to normal. It makes everything look so much bigger than reality, which is what I appreciated most of all.
Awww... too bad it's over, huh?
I have had such a great time playing through on hard, and while I still prefer the risk-free settings available, it has allowed me to have the full experience of Minecraft. I have a new appreciation for all the various materials and objects available in the Minecraft world, where diamond and TNT was once the only tools I used.
While this story has reached a conclusion, my time in Minecraft is just beginning. The next project I am working on is a special with one of the best and most awesome-filled sandbox games available: Just Cause 2.
More gaming goodness to come!
