This is my first time journaling a Minecraft hardcore world, my son Wyatt is also documenting his journey in a survival world on wyattbubbylee.com.

Day 0

minecraft-doc-day-0

I logged into a brand new hardcore world. I was welcomed by a great Acacia biome spawn full of resources. I quickly cut my first tree, crafted an axe and set out to find my first sheep. I was able to find enough sheep for a bed, several cows and pigs.

I crafted a set of wooden tools, and farmed out a wheat farm till my wooden hoed died at the shore of a nearby stream. I found a small stone outcropping in the side of a hill and harvested nearly a full stack of cobblestone from my first wooden pick.

I ended the first day by sleeping in my bed safe from mobs.
