So I recently started a world on Minecraft where I'm roleplaying as if I was playing Dwarf Fortress. Basically, I'm just playing like a dwarf (building directly into a mountain, using axes rather than swords, trying to use as little wood as possible) and recording a journal of events. AND IT IS AWESOME.
This is the mountain I dug into. So far I only have a port carved out of the little coveish part of the bottom right but it has a lot of potential.
This was the inside of this massive gash in the mountain range not too far from my base. I expected it to be all rocky and boring inside but got some badass druid's grove instead. SWEET.
This is part of the mountain range my base is attached to. It's really high near the coast for the most part, and everything inland is just this really big series of rather unremarkable valleys and stuff. There was a really interesting segment of the coast (above-ground lava fall in an open-air cove on the beach) that I really wanna find again, but chances of that are slim without using a mapping program and that just ruins the mysticality of it.
I found this when I got lost (FOR THREE (in-game) DAYS) one time looking for my dead body's stuff. I didn't explore it because I had tons of good loot and I didn't want to lose it because monsters, but I still took a photo because it looked ballin'.
