Minecraft : The Troubles of Building a House

So, from my starting position I explored the surrounding area. I was in a large sand clearing surrounded by a forest. This was a pretty much perfect area to start in. I made my way to a nearby cliff side, butchering trees as I went, which is made easier by the Treecapitator Mod by DaftPVF, letting you chop at the base of a tree and harvest it all, and was greeted by this beautiful site.

You might notice several things. One, I have half the starting life you would normally have, this is due to a Mod called More Health by Nohero, which you can set preferences for, and find Heart Pieces and Heart Containers, like in Zelda. Eventually you can get double the normal maximum health, which is pretty cool. Second, you may note the Score in the top left, which is also pretty cool, and self explanatory, also by DaftPVF. Thirdly you might notice Sharks and Dolphins in the water, which are deadly and which you can tame respectively. These are part of Mo' Creatures by DrZhark.

So, after clearing the area next to my cliff side view, I put up a basic wood shack and set up a bed and crafting bench so I could have a base camp. It was getting dark, so I decided to call it a night and use the Somnia mod by MALfunction84, which allows you to sleep whenever, and wake up at any point, but also simulates the world while you do it, so you can smelt and grow crops.

In the morning, I awoke and went on a treck nearby, where I saw a cliff with some coal. When I got there, I found a little more than I bargained for. Big cats and birds were around, from Mo' Creatures by DrZhark and on the cliff side was some Iron, Randomite (by Scokeev9) and what looked like Verdite from Axebane's Mystic Ores and Stones, part of his fantastic Mystic Mod Pack. Also, this adorable little guy.

He's from the Baby Animals Mod by Cocoavalley, and you can raise and tame them :3

Anyway, after I cleared the ore from the cliff side, getting a stack of Coal, some Iron and some Gold from the Randomite, it was once again getting dark. So I made my way back to my humble abode to make some torches...and that's where it started to go wrong. After blocking up my house and accessing my crafting bench, I noticed light coming from where my bed was.... Odd, I thought, so I turned round.

OH CRAPPING HELL WHAT THE FU-

And then I exploded. Along with all of my stuff, and most of my house. After punching the Ogre to death (which took a while), I surveyed the damage (whilst beset by Creepers, Skeletons and a Werewolf) This was not good, I had very little of my house left, and very, very little possessions. And it was night-time. So, after defeating all of the enemies around me, I decided to call it a day. Who knows, Maybe tomorrow will hold better fortune? 

Ogres and Werewolves are also part of the Mo' Creatures Mod by DrZhark, and all Mods mentioned are part of the Wonderful Yogbox (Which, at the time of writing) has JUST been updated to include Mod Updates and Elemental Creepers. Sounds fun, and Painful. Like paintballing, only with explosions and horrible death.

One last thing, I recently made a new Character Skin, and was wondering what you guys thought of it? It's my first attempt at a character skin, and I think it's not too shabby.

Till Next Time,

Have Fun
