InDarkestNight Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I've gotten better at the game, built myself a mansion, have a nice farm, and plenty of supplies. However, I've hit a roadblock and need resources from the nether to continue. So I finally broke down and built a portal, after getting myself a full set of diamond gear just to be safe. I tried to enchant it, but without villagers I couldn't get much of anything. I think I may have gotten a bad spawn. I found myself in a basalt biome w/e its called. Navigating through it was hard. Found a platform of netherrack, and discovered my surroundings. The area is dominated by this gigantic lava lake that's so large I can't see the other side. Worse yet, the entire area seems to just be small floating islands, making it even more difficulty to navigate around. Only meaningly things I did was kill a few magma cubes and traded with a piglin, that's it. I simply couldn't figure out how to get anywhere. I ended up leaving empty-handed. No potions or brewing stand for me it seems. I'm really at a loss as to what I can do. My nether doesn't look like anything I can find on youtube. Everyone has plenty of solid land they can traverse, I do not. I really don't know what I could do about this. I thought about building a new portal hoping to get a better spawn, but obviously I would have to travel super far away for that. I don't like travelling far from home either, because I keep getting lost. Its why I have no cactus to make green dye, f*#@ my life. I just don't want to travel out far to find it. On a side note, the nether was actually rather scary and atmospheric. Youtube just gave me the wrong impression of this game. Its more vast than I ever could've imagined watching others play. The music and atmosphere is nothing like I expected. I didn't know nearly as much about the mechanics as I thought I did watching all the manhunt videos, and both seasons of empires. I've never seen someone with a nether like I have. I really don't know what to do. I actually had to retreat out of the nether once just to get more blocks to build bridges. Yes, I didn't even have enough blocks to mine to build bridges in the nether. There's nothing there, just this gigantic void with magma at the bottom. What am I supposed to do about this? This like the worst nether a noob like me could possibly get. If anyone can offer help, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm at a loss right now as to what to do. Guess I'll get to building that village so I can have merchants at least. I can't make a brewing stand though, but I have stations for everything else. Besides, it'll probably take me a while anyway.

InDarkestNight Posted August 15 Author Share Posted August 15 Well, aren't I lucky? Decided to go try to trade with the farmer in that village near my base, so I could at least have some emeralds for the wandering trader for once. I do have plenty of leather now, more than I know what to do with. However, upon entering the village, I found it was almost completely deserted! Every house was empty save for one where a single villager was somehow stuck in a corner. The farmer was gone, along with the iron golem that was there. I'm on an offline server btw. The only thing I can figure that went wrong was that I set up my mine in that village. This was before I built my house. As a consequence, I was going near the village a lot. This must have meant monsters were spawning there and killing all my villagers. Funny story, there used to be two iron golems there, but I saw one get killed by mobs. So now, I only have one villager nearby. Funny story though, I did find another village not too far away while I was trying to find cactus. It had two brewing stands, lucky me. I did try to transfer a villager from there, but as expected as soon as night fell he made a bee line back to his own village, running straight through my village filled with empty beds. So now I've set up a bunch of boats under trees hoping to catch some zombified villagers. No luck so far, though that may be due to me spending most of my time in the nether rather than near my base. I did re-enter the nether and just mined through a wall to find some area that could be traversed. I got hopelessly lost, found half a dozen new biomes, and still no fortress in sight. I ended up having to use f3 to find my way back to my portal. I did, and found I was apparently on the opposite side of it. I literally dug in the same direction! Yeah, I was really badly lost. I had somehow gone in a circle and ended up on the opposite side of my portal from where I started. All I have to show for that trip is some mushrooms and soul sand. Guess now I can make my lanterns, still no blaze rods though. Worse yet, I need those to cure zombie villagers so I can have my own village again. Fml. Can nothing go right?

InDarkestNight Posted August 15 Author Share Posted August 15 Found a nether fortress, turned out it was on the opposite side of that lava lake. I struggled for over an hour to find a spawner. When I did find one, it was blocked by lava. I managed to get past it, but I couldn't block it with the stupid blazes spawning and attacking me. I managed to get 2 blaze rods, despite killing over a dozen blazes. Then I realized; my shield was broken, and I didn't have the means to craft another. With no way to defend myself, I ran. As soon as I got past the lava though, i ran into a wither skeleton of all things. Why do those things have such a high spawn rate? I couldn't enter a room because there was over a dozen of them in there. I ran from that, but ran into a dead end hall way, forcing me to run past it. In my struggles to run, it knocked me into the lava below. I lost everything. My diamond armor and weapon, my blaze rods, and all my diamonds which I was keeping on me so I could craft replacement tools. I now have nothing. I couldn't handle the damned fortress even with diamond gear. I have no way to get more. That playthrough is now dead. All that work, a bloody mansion I never finished, and for what? I regret buying this game now. i don't see how I could ever make money playing this. How can I when I can't handle the game? AND I AM BEYOND SICK OF BEING IGNORED ON HERE. NO CONSOLATION, NOTHING????????? THERE IS NO OTHER PLACE ON THE ENTIRE INTERNET TO POST. IS THE INTERNET DEAD? IS THERE ANY POINT IN USING IT? This game is nothing but heartbreak for me. All those hours building and grinding, and for what? I have nothing now and no way to progress. I was wishing I knew a command so I could just delete the entire world, but I do not BECAUSE I'M A NOOB AND CAN'T FIND HELP ON THE ENTIRE INTERNET FOR ALL THE PROBLEMS I'M HAVING WHO THE HELL LIKES BEING IGNORED? HOW OFTEN DO I EVEN POST HERE? EVEN IF ON THE FREAK OCCASIONS MY EXISTENCE GETS ACKNOWLEDGED, I JUST GET TROLLED. THE INTERNET IS USELSS. I'M TRYING TO MAKE MONEY TO SAVE MY f*#@ING LIFE AND I CAN'T EVEN DO THAT. f*#@ THIS GAME f*#@ THIS SITE f*#@ YOU ALL WHITE SUPREMACISTS ON HERE f*#@ YOU ALL TROLLS I GENUINELY HOPE THERE'S A HELL SO THERE IS AT LEAST SOME JUSTICE IN THIS BULLSHIT WORLD f*#@ YOU ALL TO HELL AND f*#@ MY HOPELESS LIFE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted156886133 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 (edited) Seriously? Why all the grief? I really don't give a shite but that was entirely unfair to others on this site. It's not all about you, man. Now, assumingly, you're playing Minecraft. Have you tried other walkthrough formats besides YouTube videos? A simple search brought up one such game guide that appears fairly comprehensive. Start here with general tips and such, then at the bottom of the page there's a link for the guide. Or if you're impatient, this will take you directly there. And in the event you have me on ignore, then I just wasted time typing. Cheers...
