Late-Game Minecraft 236 :: Rooted Dirt Delivery
6Today, we receive a delivery of rooted dirt on the roof! For some reason, a wandering trader has decided to spawn up there and risk the life of its llamas. We store away some of the items that we collected in the abandoned mineshaft and make some improvements to the area around our base!
First, we sort through some of the items in the double chest! We have placed everything that we had collected from the mineshafts here without any attempt to organise it. We pick up some tuff blocks before cutting down the sugar canes by the stream of axolotls!
We use the tuff blocks to build some columns. We are taking a look at the design from afar when we hear the sounds of a wandering trader! Strange, we only see a trader llama but not the trader himself! Eventually we look up and see that the trader has appeared on the roof of our base!
We build a tower of scaffolding to get up and trade with him. He has some rooted dirt, a new block that we have not discovered yet! We could get some by growing our azaleas into trees, but that is quite troublesome to do! We gladly buy out his entire stock, even the junk like spruce saplings!
After storing the items in our chests, we craft a new iron hoe and a barrel for our tiny farm by the coast! We replace the sand with dirt so we can plant some melons and pumpkins. As the sun sets, we lay down our bed to sleep. We also use the barrel to store the other crops like carrots and potatoes!
In the morning, we pack some items into the chests before shearing our sheep! We see a brown llama hanging from a lead and feel a little worried for it. Picking up some dirt and spruce planks, we fill up the small hole near our base to rescue the grey horse that has fallen inside!
Near our sheep pen, we also dig away some dirt to make the terrain look smoother! We try to keep the tall grass blocks at the same positions so the land still looks like it was randomly generated. Then, we test out our new rooted dirt blocks!
We apply some bone meal to the rooted dirt which causes hanging roots to grow! It seems we cannot use these hanging roots to craft more rooted dirt though. I guess these blocks would be mostly used for decoration! As our chests are filling up, we craft another more barrel for the storage of sugar canes.
We place the barrel of sugar canes next to the stream of axolotls, beside the entrance to our base! Noticing how many torches we have in the area, we replace them with lanterns which look better! If we run out of lanterns, we can always get more from our mountain base.
We see that our cactus has grown so we plant down another one. Once we are done with the lanterns, it is already night! We place down our bed for a quick nap. In the morning, we store all our music discs in the same chest before gathering honeycomb and wool!
Yet another barrel gets crafted, this time for storing our honeycomb! We place this barrel on the beach before replacing a few more torches near the birch trees that we missed. We see that the brown trader llama has disappeared! It had probably taken too much damage and passed away as a result.
The white trader llama seems to be stuck on our wall! We try using some wheat to lure it out, but that does not work so we use a lead instead. Then, we tame it and bring it into the sheep pen! Afterwards, we get up to the balcony of our partially-completed house.
We look around for any leads or leather to see where the brown llama had died, but I guess the items had already despawned! Oh well. We pick up some andesite and diorite from our chests and start working on extending the balcony to the back pillar!
Above the columns of tuff, we hang lanterns on some polished diorite! We craft some spruce fences for the balcony before flying up with our rockets. Looking at the existing section of balcony, we see that we need polished andesite stairs so we go back down to craft them at our stonecutter!
Observing the curve that we had laid out on the ground carefully, we place down the stairs to match the curve! After sleeping, we continue with our balcony. We are still not sure what the wall design below will look like, but building the balcony may give us some ideas!
Crossing the stream of axolotls, we step back to observe what we have built! So far, it looks alright, but we cannot tell for sure until the first floor is done. We notice the name tag in our inventory is not named, and quickly rename it in the anvil in case we want to stop any mobs from despawning!
We shear our sheep and cut out some honeycomb from the bee hives before ending the episode! It seems like we cannot count, as we keep looking around in the forest for honeycomb before we realise we already have all of it! We can't possibly get more than 15 honeycomb items from just 5 bee hives!
