I had a really great time playing ~5 min of Minecraft last night. I am definitely going to start a new game tonight.
My biggest challenge was building a roof on my hideout. I ran out of time so I walled myself into a cave I dug for the night. If I’m being honest I also wasted time on frivolous things like picking berries and hunting foxes. This tells me Minecraft is realistic. Without society and many support systems I would probably die because it’s winter and i have a bunch of delicious berries but no shelter or warmth.:)
I want to play with my siblings an RPi LAN setup won’t do. I tried a “Free” private server but the catch is you have to renew it every few days. It looks like hosting is cheap and I could get a a 10 player server for around $30 USD per year. There are also free public servers but I’m not sure if they are good for new players.
@derickflorian I just love fishing in Minecraft. Can do that for hours (in real time) and days and days (game time).
@jellycrystals Wow, I have so much to learn. I did built a spruce boat but might build a spruce boat with a chest too. I will have to watch some vids on fishing to see how it works!
@derickflorian Be brave and kill a few spiders for their silk, a stick, and you are on! I only play with my 8 y.o. son, so in no way an expert. 😄
