Today's game was Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition. I went ahead and built a farm for my Jungle Tree House. We have Potatoes and Wheat growing. I went and ransacked the local village looking for Carrots but they didn't have any sadly. I'll have to look around for some to complete my farm. I also need Melons and Pumpkins. Both of which should be a little easier to get. Carrots i think Zombies can drop and Dungeons.

On my way back from the village there was a ravine i found. There was a cow and sheep standing on the edge which i pushed in to gather drops (and save durability) and going down i found a good 12 pieces of iron (I used it to make a second bucket and an iron hoe for my farm to make life easier)

I also made plans to explore a cave right outside my house, but the moment i stepped foot in there a skeleton fired an arrow and i backed out. I thought it would be pretty safe because it's surface level but i guess not. I'll have to make some armor and torches and head into the cave to light it up so this doesn't bite me in the ass later. Because i totally could see it doing so.

I ended up winding down for the evening by redecorating the treehouse. I rearranged the vines a little bit because they were starting to overgrow. I left one streak just covering the front of the window specifically though. It was a relaxing way to relax for the evening. Just redecorate the house. Honestly old minecraft is just a relaxing way to chill. Modern Minecraft has a little to much going on where i feel like there are now constant threats. It's not a bad thing, it just changes the context i play in. Being able to kick back and say "Okay, i have 10 minutes to do the creative stuff, then i can sleep or do the combat if i want too" is really chill.

the three rows of water hurt a little when the farm is exactly as large as a single block of water could handle, but I know it's for aesthetics

Not even for aesthetics lol. It was just out of habit from being younger and playing minecraft

As the one in my family who always does the farming while the others ignore it and explore it hurts me. I need things efficient, or I will never escape!

Xbox360 Minecraft is on Java version 1.13.2 isn’t it? That’s the version where they added underwater temples and those fish mini bosses. Must’ve been around 2019, that’s shortly before i stopped playing after I started in 2011.

They added guardians in 1.8, 1.13 is fast swimming, tridents, drowned

I think so, yeah. I'm not playing the latest version so i can't say for sure but I know PS3 edition goes up that high though so i'd have to assume 360 does too

Solid farm. Makes me we want to boot up my old world.
