Hardcore, not till I hit bedrock

The Minecraft fire has been relit on my laptop, not because I'm in a creative mode, but because I'm looking for a challenge, and Minecraft has both.

I tried Hardcore mode this time around and found it all the more better than the regular one. You die and your world gets deleted. It also sets the difficulty to hard, and it can't be changed, so no sneaky sneaky way out there.

It really is hard the first nights, getting a shelter, and food, you need food now to survive. Yes it's realistic and stuff. At first I thought I'd try to find a village to hide in during the night. I even found a seed (on the internet) which spawns you in a house. I tried it, but it didn't feel right. Why am I trying out the hardcore mode if I'm going to chicken out on the first night in a spawned house? Either I find a village, or I build a house, and the latter it was. With some time consuming waiting of course. Wouldn't dear gather resources during the night.

Now I do have my house finished and I'm trying to dig my way down, this time around I'm using ladders instead of stairs. The work do take a lot of time though since I managed to place my house right on top of a multi level cave, with numerous mobs in it.

Then I have to remember that my guy has a stomach now, that needs feeding. So I have to gather mushrooms and meat as well. It is challenging. Next project is either to make a biiig room down below, or make Snow Golems, or a castle, the castle first, then the snow golems. Or maybe find a monster spawner... Soo much to doo.
