Starting my journey in my forever world! I started in a larger village, and made some materials, including a fishing rod, and getting some basic iron gear. I honestly don't know much about like, late game minecraft, because I have never beaten it on my own. I've never made a villager trading hall, or anything. Speaking of, I may have accidentally murdered most of the villagers making them all zombie villagers in the same spot- instead of seperating them- and trying to cure them all at the same time.. which went as well as you can expect. I'm taking the early game quite slow. I raided a shipwreck and got some loot, tamed a nautilus, and a horse. I have some diamonds, but I'm not using them. I want to go to the nether and maybe get one of the new baby ghasts? I do dream of 'perfect' armor- mending and netherite on everything, but I may get mending manually instead of trying to do it with a trading hall,.. it's too finicky for my liking.
Well, uh... It turns out my forever world did not last forever :')) It takes me a lot of effort to get over the early game- I'm really not interested in Minecraft's progression, I just like the end game where I can make huge projects with fully enchanted tools- but, that is not always something I have the will to get to. BUT, I have been playing in a modded world for probably about 5 months now with some friends, and have established gear and established builds/projects I'm working on!!! So I might give some updates on that
