Day 1: Deforestation

Wood: Arguably the most useful resource in Minecraft and of course, it comes from trees.
I figured the best thing to start on was to gather plenty of wood for A) The ability to make tools and such, and B) To get rid of those Pesky trees blocking up the landscape.

So, I did exactly that. I made myself a few axes and went to chop down some trees.
Unfortunately, there were no trees where I had put my shelter, so I had to go back to my spawn area to find them. Once I had cut down enough tree's I'd gotten lost and took a while to find my way back home, but I eventually got there near sunset. I should probably make a landmark or something to know when I'm near.
Or I could just know where I'm going. That might also help.

I also took the liberty to flatten a small island not too far off shore from my home base. A man's got to start somewhere, right?

Also also, I had a run-in with a giant spider this morning I found frolicking on my roof. Nothing too serious. I ate some pigs to make up for the lost health.

Tomorrow I'll get started on some actual flattening.

A decent days takings. I've made my first chest and put it in my roof.

I'm so proud.
