Well, I'm gonna' post a minecraft diary. I'm not new to the game, but I'm not hardcore either. Soooo... here we go! Oh, and by the way, I'm using a British date system. Just clears that up for all our non-British users.
Date: 24/2/11
So, just build a simple shelter and I'm holing out for the night. I don't have an escape route, so if a creeper comes along, I'm screwed. Don't you just hate it when you make a shelter near some cave, and all you can hear is zombie groans? So, All thats left is to let the sun rise so I can crawl out of this pathetic shelter and work on something more impressive.
