#deep dark biome

[kitkat-the-muffin]

I had a dream last night that the new Pale Garden biome in Minecraft extended through the ground into the Deep Dark and when they merge together they make a Pale Dark biome and it was cool looking as hell and also scary as hell

Made new blocks like rooted stone or something that could be harvested for both wood and stone. Looked a little like that stone forest from Hilda but with more Deep Dark shades of blue and various foilage

Creaking mobs spawned but didn’t attack because their cores were too far away or something. The Warden spawned with tiny Warden babies for some reason (like baby zombies but baby Wardens)

There were letter statues like in Terraria except made out of Copper. That’s about it on the details I remember

Well okay, one other thing about the dream that’s totally unrelated to the post though is there was a giant Enderman about the size of 8 giant zombies stacked atop each other just standing on the beach holding a spyglass for no reason

I can’t be bothered to have a layout for my account tbh

Anyway Warden Jesse

Uhhh so basically the whole warden thing was only a Halloween costume and then @enden-agolor asked if it was an AU so I was like dang that’s a good idea 😭 so now it’s a whole thing. Yahoo!

I’ll add some more info soon but here’s the outfit

Currently 3am in a discord text chat talking a server friend through her first deep dark encounter, since she hasn’t really played minecraft since before the update and doesn’t know much about it.

How it started: “Wow this is like an XP farm, this weird dirt gives me almost a full level when I break it” *cue me explaining the various sculk blocks and mechanics while she also googles them*

How it’s going:

“Ok I can never return to the server. The second I do I’m dead. I alt-F4′d as soon as I saw the arms coming out of the ground” lmao

she logged back on and booked it in the other direction and lived. admin friend has joined the chat to laugh

Update:

she went back to the deep dark biome and triggered another shrieker by accident (not enough time has passed for her warning level to be at 0 yet, oh no)

also i’ve just been nicknamed by both her and the admin friend:

I’m having a great time. I get to info-dump, and experience the text-based reaction of someone encountering the deep dark while knowing very little about it. Incredible time for the oracle turnip. 

also she summoned another warden and ran like hell lol

Update:

oh no

I am still very very tiffed that zombie dungeon spawners will spawn villager zombies on bedrock and not on java. I am. So tiffed. How dare they. I was SO HOPING for zombie villagers. Anyway that half of why I never posted an update on my challenge world, @ageblue​ . The other half of the reason is, after that week of sulking, I just...kept forgetting.

No screenshots cause the ones in the folder don’t look right? Did I accidentally delete them? I don’t know. If I repeat anything, OH WELL. Anyway. I got my enchanting table. I’m thinking about suspending the enchanting area from the farming platform. Iron chains would be ideal but I don’t actually like mining(another reason I wanted VILLAGERS AUGH) so it’ll be hard to make myself buckle down and do it. Especially with the horrible caves. I’ll need an anvil too. I guess. I want the platform to be, like, black. I wish I could make a way up that was invisible but I don’t know how. :/ Make a fucking parkour route...(i suck at parkour lol)

*sigh* The fucking llamas. THE FUCKING LLAMAS. After a bunch of trials and tribulations which involved makeshift pens, accidentally digging into my hovel, finding out that llamas fall through 1 block openings when on a lead(into my hovel), more makeshift pens, frantic fence misplacing, and then tiredly shoving llamas along, I got the llamas separated from the wandering trader and in a pen. A week later, I saw a video wherein the person just got the llamas in a boat and the fucking leads popped right off. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- *muffles self and continues*

The wandering trader then did a bunch of longing staring and wandering about the pen, as if to find a way in. Then he briefly went for a swim. I was...concerned.

Anyway, the llamas. I tamed them and bred them. Yay! The baby grew up. Yay! I tried to breed the llamas again and it didn’t seem to take. Whatever, I’ll figure it out. I come back, there’s only two llamas. I am confused and assume the original llamas, for some reason, are still despawning despite the taming. After all, babies are born tamed so how else could one be gone? I quickly breed the two I have, thinking that at least I’ll still have the two once the other og llama poofs. Later, I have two llamas again. Alrighty, should be fine now. I breed them. And later. I have two llamas. Again. *deep breath* 

Wandering trader llamas, even if tamed, will produce untamed babies. About 5 minutes after they grow up, they will despawn. There was a lot of blank staring at the screen while figuring out what to do, and plan designing and implementing plans and finding out the plans didn’t work and more plan designing and finally settling on a truly annoying setup but I’m not sure what else I could have done. Also AAAAAA THE FUCKING CARAVANS CAN YOU BASTARDS JUST NOT???

I just thought of a potential way but I do not want to have to set that up ALL OVER AGAIN so WHATEVER.

On the bright side I had a fun time describing the situation to my mother(because I don’t know ANYONE WHO PLAYS MINECRAFT IN REAL LIFE(i mean i suppose i know the kids at the minecraft program at the library that i used to run but, uh, no thanks)) and watching her grow more and more dismayed as I explained every problem with my attempts and her suggestions, leaving me with only this hilarious inefficient setup. Yes, Mother, FEEL MY PAIN.

So what have I ended up with? I have 4(6?) pairs of llamas, each in separate small pens so they’re easy to feed(did you know that, contrary to the wiki, llamas(or at least trader llamas) will absolutely keep eating hay bales even when they’re at full health and can’t breed? ahahahahahahaha). There is a fence gate, covered with a fence post so I can put the baby on a lead. I then have to DRAG THE BABY away from their parents while they desperately try to get back to them. I have to wrangle them into another pen. Did you know you can only have 3 leads active at one time? SO helpful. I have to get the other babies into the pen while making sure no others manage to escape. (see, because to feed the adults I have to have a block to get on so I don’t feed the same bastard several times, there’s a way back into the parent’s pen and THE BABES KNOW IT) Then /I/ have to get out of the pen without the others escaping. At the start of this I had to set a fucking timer for when they grow up, because otherwise they will despawn before I get what I want(which at this point is another couple pairs because the agony of wrangling the first two from this setup wasn’t enough, I guess). Once I get the other pairs I want, that’s it. I’ll only get like 8 llamas every 10 minutes(assuming i am right on top of things which YOU SHOULD NEVER ASSUME) but I just. There is no mass creating of llamas here. 

Finally, after finishing everything, I remembered a thought I’d had while setting up my wheat/tree limiting platform. “Man, this might be too big a wheat field. I certainly don’t need 4 fields worth...Oh wait! Llamas need hay bales to breed and I’ll need them for books! And since I’ll just breed the lot of them til I have a bunch and then kill most of them, I’ll need a lot of hay bales. This won’t be too big at all!” *hysterical laughter*

I just thought for a moment that I could try breeding the newly grown llamas real quick and then kill them(all in 5 minutes!) for quicker leather production but you have to tame them to breed them, don’t you... *sigh* That would be way too stressful for me.

Anyway I hate MC llamas now. Going on a research check afterwards and finding out about the villager zombies DIDN’T HELP. Oh my GOSH it didn’t. I’m so fucking sour about that. I was so mad I went back to a 1.16 world, lmao. At least THERE I can have VILLAGERS and not fall into STUPID PITS. Have I used them for anything? ...No...but at least I COULD.

[confetti-critter]

I want to build giant factory in minecraft and also change an entire biome with colourful blocks and also build vast tunnels with scary things in them :) grins

There are so many directions I would've taken the Minecraft movie but instead they made Jack Black Steve. Like there is so much tiny lore within the game even though it's a sandbox.

There is this sense of the world being bigger than you as you explore and you find structures like sunken pirate ships to the deep dark where the treasure is protected by an almost unstoppable Warden.

There is the End where you have a dragon that is protected by these sturdy pillars and crystals that help regain her health, along with all the endermen on the ground that seems to play a part in protecting her as well. And then there are cities that can only be unlocked once you defeat her. There is so much of a story there that could've been told.

There's the nether where there are so many more biomes to explore and there is already an established people in the nether with their own kind of bartering system and way of accepting you into their own. Piglins won't attack you if you seem to have something they want on you (gold) and they have to protect themselves from the hoglins. And there's fortresses you can find anywhere that are protected by withering bones and spirits made of fire. There are reinforced fortress protected by armored piglins and skeletons. There are ENDERMEN in the nether for a reason you don't know!

And even in the overworld, you have the villagers with a different type of people for every biome, and the pillagers along with the woodland mansions with sorcerers and trapped fairies, you have jungle temples and sand temples, you have the water temple that is surrounded by guardians, you have underwater structures that have drowned citizens of the city it once was trying to protect the treasure they still have.

There is so much world to be documented and to tell stories about but instead they did something that isn't even possible in the game cus piglins would turn into zombie piglins if they ever stepped foot through the portals. And whitewashed Steve again. Oh joy

You know what? I'm gonna make a Minecraft movie

This is a plot I banged out over the course of like three hours at work so bear with me.

Movie starts. Main Guy just got fired from his job or something. He goes home to his house, greets his dog, agonizes over how he's going to pay for said dog with this development. Dog comes up wanting to play fetch, has a mcguffin in its mouth. Main Guy takes it and fiddles with it that night.

Mcguffin activates.

Guy winds up in Minecraft world. Spends a day freaking out about everything. Finds a dirt house someone else made and spends the night there to escape the monsters.

There's a map there. Takes that to a village

Meets Alex. She doesn't speak.

Alex is in the middle of saving a village from an Illager raid. Main Guy helps.

It takes a turn into a rescue mission for captured Villagers. The Illagers are hunting for a Trial Chamber with a legendary weapon (the mace).

After that arc is complete, Main Guy has an Allay as a pet and a new friend in a Villager he saved. Gang's all there, all adventures from here on out will be with MG, Alex, Villager, and Allay.

They go to Alex's home base. It's neat, but it's very clear she's not the only one that's lived there.

MG manages to convey to Alex that he needs a way home. And she's got the Ender Dragon egg, but doesn't have the rest of the equipment to get to the End and make the portal home.

Trip into the Deep Dark, ancient city, Warden fight while getting diamonds.

Villager takes the diamonds and makes a pickaxe for them.

They get obsidian and make a Nether Portal. Trip to the Nether to find a fortress and get blaze rods and ender pearls.

While they're in the Nether, they come across the Wither Briar. It's a new biome that's spreading, wither roses everywhere, with a Wither at the center.

They get the supplies they need, but the Wither catches them and attacks. They barely make it out alive; Villager gets zombified.

Rush to a witch to get Villager healed.

It gets revealed that Alex and her friends once took on the Wither, but it turned out too destructive and they lost the battle and several friends. They split up then. The Wither's been terrorizing the local Piglins and spreading the zombie infection ever since.

MG gets up, determined, gearing up and reentering the Nether. Epic battle against the Wither. The Wither Briar dies, the Piglins rejoice.

MG, Alex, and Villager start gearing up to find the Stronghold, with help from the village, Piglins, witch, etc. MG gets a unique armor trim that's not in the game.

Melancholy travel. Alex and Villager are gonna miss MG a LOT, and he's considering whether or not he wants to leave.

Stronghold leads to the End, End City fight for an Elytra.

Final fight with the Ender Dragon, hesitation, then final goodbyes. The group all jumps into the portal together.

MG winds up back home in his bed, in the real world, but he still has his gear and the sword he used to slay the Ender Dragon with.

He gets the mcguffin that sent him to Minecraft in the first place and is about to destroy it. He second-guesses it. Epic montage of him grabbing the things he needs to go.

He puts on a blue shirt and dark jeans. He packs his bag with apples, a slice of cake, and a map. He grabs his dog, a fluffy gray one with a red collar, then he activates the mcguffin again.

End poem plays, followed by the credits rolling.

Post-credits at the end with Minecraft music playing, Steve rolls up to Alex's house as she and Villager are building a beacon out of the Nether Star the Wither dropped. He helps them finish it, the beacon shoots into the sky, then they go into her house.

Alex looks at the map hopefully, waiting for her friends as the sun goes down, but all it shows is hers and Steve's icons on it…then someone else's shows up, just barely at the border. It's one of the other "default" players.

End of movie.

Minecraft Fun Fact!

The deep dark was originally supposed to be like a deep sea biome but without water, complete with bioluminescent blocks, floating jellyfish, and even a completely different color palette!

[minecraft-sideblog-tm]

Love that Grian has decided now is the time to use digging straight down as a mining strat, post-1.19 where it's pretty easy to dig into a huge cavern and then fall 80 blocks to the ground, or survive the fall but be surrounded by mobs, or fall onto an patch of dripstone, or fall into a MASSIVE lava lake, or land in an ancient city/deep dark biome, or-
