Chapter 14: Sand, Gold, and Redstone
"Glass! Glass! "I shouted slogans while digging sand by the river. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It's the morning of the fourth day, and it's sunny and square clouds as always. Akai went to the mines to mine stones, and I was digging for sand by the river. At present, the effect of sand is only to burn glass to make windows, although I can also make a simple window with a wooden stick, but it is not as beautiful as a glass window.
So I started looking for sand by the river in the morning and dug all the way down the river until noon. Because of my obsessive-compulsive nature, every time I dig up sand, I have to fill in the potholes with dirt.
Minecraft Facts: Sand is a natural block that can be used to make glass. It is composed of a single material, and the material is the same on all six sides. A notable phenomenon is that when there are no other blocks under the sand, the sand will fall until there are other blocks underneath it. Sand is one of four gravity-affected blocks (the other three are gravel, water, and lava) that can be found in large areas, especially deserts. Sand can be harvested directly by hand, but it can be faster with a shovel. Sand can be used with any tool to drop sand resources. The durability of sand blocks is particularly low. However, when the sand falls under the influence of gravity, the falling sand will cause suffocation when it falls onto the head of the creature, and unless the sand can be successfully removed or left, it will cause suffocation.
A block of sand can be smelted into a glass block. Four sand blocks and five gunpowder together can be combined to craft TNT explosives. Four pieces of sand can also be used to make sand and gravel.
As for glass, after firing glass from sand, six pieces of glass can be made into sixteen thin glass plates, that is, glass windows.
By noon, I had returned home with a set of sand, put it in the stove to fire, and then sorted out the clutter. When Akai comes out, we can build the ceiling on the roof the next day, although this is only the first floor, and when there are more resources later, I can build the second floor, and then build a staircase at home.
As for the layout of the home, according to my assumption, the most suitable for us to live in must be a three-story building, as for why, because no matter which version of the game, the layout of the home I usually build is similar except for the difference in the appearance of the beautification. But that's not to say that I'm only going to build this way, it's just that this kind of three-story building is very practical. For example, the first floor is the living room plus the kitchen; The second floor is the bedroom; The third floor is the attic, this layout.
Then open the back door or side door of the house, and then go straight to the field. That's what I've always been proud of.
How fast and easy to save, that's how meow~
Well, the sand is already burning, and the price is that I've explored all the rivers near my house.
"Eun, there are still two sets of wood, which were dug yesterday, the bow and arrow are in Akai's, and there are two gunpowder in the box, which are falling from the creepers, and the zombies are not dropping anything."
In addition to these more important things, there are some miscellaneous items left, such as some remaining stone bricks for construction, and a sand area that Akai dug up when he was mining stones, and we dug all of them home, ready to polish these sand shimmers into flint, but because they are very busy these days, we haven't done it yet.
As for the use of flint, in addition to being used as the head of an arrow, it can also be used as a flintstone. The head of each arrow shot is made of flint, but the tip of the head of the arrow is sharp after the flint is polished, but it is also easy to be damaged, so although the feathers at the end of the arrow can be removed and reused, the broken flint cannot be used.
I was busy for a while, until the sand shimmer was all burned into glass, and the time had already gone to the afternoon, and it was close to evening, and in two hours, the sun would go down.
I have to sigh at how fast time flies when I am busy.
"Asha! I've dug up something good! Akai came out of the mine not far away, shouting at me as he trotted, and the cheerful tone made me wonder what I had dug up.
"Look." Akai placed a golden-mottled block on the grass in front of his house.
"This is? Gold mine? "After careful identification, the dark golden mottled should be the gold mine." It's really you, you actually dug up a gold mine! "Together, I admired, although the gold mine is not in much demand and has no substantial use, but the gold mine can be used to make a very important thing āāāā clock!
In Minecraft, the clock, as the name suggests, is used to show the time, but it shows the time in a slightly different way, it does not show the time from one o'clock to twelve o'clock, but a circle, half inlaid with a golden sun, and a white chassis; The other half is a black floor with a milky moon. It is then half-covered, and the time is shown by the slow rotation of the sun and moon on the clock.
In other words, it can't show the exact time, but we can use the clock to know what phase the sun and moon have risen and where in the sky.
Needless to say, the clock is more important to us than the compass, because in my world, more than half of the time is spent mining underground, and it's very important to know the time and how long you've been digging.
"How much gold have you dug up?" I crouched down in front of the gold cube in front of me and asked Akai.
"Hehe~ a total of five gold mines, a normal proportion." Akai walked to the grass in front of his house, and then said with a smile. "Five dollars, it's enough to make a clock."
The compass and the clock, these two things seem inconspicuous, but they are really things that must be made. To make a compass, you need four iron ingots, supplemented by a redstone; The clock, on the other hand, requires four gold ingots, followed by the same redstone. There is no subsequent synthesis of the clock, but there is a subsequent synthesis of the compass, and the advanced synthesis of the compass is the map, which requires the use of paper, but it is still a little far away.
"Anyway, it's always good to be able to dig gold, and we're going to celebrate!" Standing up, his hands on his hips, "Next time I'll go to the cavern with you, this time we'll dig a little deeper and see if we can find redstone so we can make a clock and a compass." ā
"Okay, what now, let's rest?" Akai stood up and asked.
"Well, it's hard work, you go and rest, I just rested, a set of glass was burned here, and now I'm going to the river to fetch water, and the water is not enough." Open the backpack and give the glass burned from the stove to Akai, "I was busy digging sand during the day and didn't go to fetch water, you help me install the window first, by the way, make the whole glass into a glass plate first, otherwise it will be wasted." ā
"Got it, I still know how the glass panes are synthesized, you go and go back quickly, and then we can build the ceiling." Akai waved his hand and walked into the house. I took the bucket out of my backpack and headed towards the river.
The bucket was so big that it could almost fit a person into it, and if it weren't for this backpack, I wouldn't have been able to bring it back if it weren't for this backpack. It is better to boil water directly with an iron bucket than to boil water with a wooden bowl, not to mention the quantity, just to change the wooden bowl to replace it I feel quite troublesome, now it's okay, as long as I expand the campfire, that is, make a big bonfire, and then put the iron bucket full of clear drinking water on it.
By the way, I made the campfire outside the house, and I couldn't have made this kind of thing inside the house, and I wouldn't make this common sense mistake. It's not good if you burn your home down.
Filled with water, I went back to the house, and Akai had already installed all the windows.
"There's still some water at home, I'll put this bucket here and wait for tomorrow to boil it." Placing the bucket in a corner, "What happened to the stones you dug up?" ā
"It's all burned into stone bricks, and I've made two more stoves, otherwise it's not enough." Akai threw 2 sets of stone bricks at me. "Well, it's not dark yet, there's still some time, we can get the roof out quickly, and a home with a ceiling or roof can be considered a complete home." With that, I started building the ceiling.
"I'll start from the other side." Akai ran to the other side.
Minecraft Commonwealth: Building materials such as stone are not affected by gravity except for adjacent blocks.
