Minecrack

 So I feel like rambling about this game that I recently started playing, Minecraft. Its pretty straight forward, but I will walk you through the experience.

You wake up. Endless trees, sand, grass, dirt, caves, mountains, oceans, lakes, trees and other wilderness.

Your job is to take what this world gives you and make anything you can possibly imagine.

You start by punching the hell out of trees. Destroy as many trees as possible. Once you have punched many trees, punch some more. Once you think you have enough wood, you open your inventory and you use your 2x2 crafting grid and make some logs from the tree trunk pieces. From those logs, craft a crafting workbench, which allows you to now use a 3x3 crafting grid.

From here you make some pickaxes, and gather cobble stone, coal and whatever to make further instruments and other stuff. Once you get done mining, crafting, smelting and what not, you just build, build, build.

I am trying to think of new things that I want to build.

Right now I have built a home, a 1-to-1 scale model of the Tower I work at which took over 7,500 pieces of cobblestone, am currently clearing out an area that is 60x60 and 90 deep to make Evangelion's Geofront. But with just clearing out that area taking so long I get bored and have to make more things. I also made a glass tower with two spiral staircases, one with water and one with lava going down to the base. 



PEOPLE GIVE ME SOME IDEAS! I WILL POST PICTURES!
