My First Night Back In Minecraft

I never realized I could forget how to play such a simple game.  I forgot almost every crafting recipe in the game.  I had to watch a Youtube tutorial to refresh my memory.  I have to say it was great to be back in Minecraft letting my imagination go wild.  No pressure, or stress, but lots of self satisfaction every time you accomplish something in the game.

Last night I had this crazy idea to go explore the island I could barely see across the water from my house.  I jump into the water, and I start seeing this blurp, blurp, blurp, and my hearts going down.  I kept trying to go up for air, but had no idea how.  I tried to turn back around, but it was too late.  My first death in Minecraft.

It put me at my respawn point with nothing.  It has been months, and I had no idea which direction to go.  I thought I built pretty close to my respawn, but I couldn't find my house anywhere.  I just started walking along the water line, and still nothing.  I saw more land on the other side of the water so I figured out how to swim, and made my way over.  I watched My Minecraft House After Two Weeks to see which way the clouds moved, which side the sun rose, and the moon to get a bearing on my direction.   I ended up spending about two hours finding my house again.

I was so close to just starting over in a new area.  I saw some really cool spots to build.   I realized that the world is huge, and it could take years to completely build just one world map in Minecraft by yourself.  I have lots of ideas so I can't wait to start digging again.  The first thing on my list is to finish my house, or at least try to.
