minecraft day 2
Lots of questions and observations today!! First, an accomplishment - I stayed alive for more than 5 minutes (ok, maybe mainly because Thomas turned off the monsters ...), but a great improvement from the first class, I've stayed alive for over an hour! I built my first crafting table. I mined some totally new things, mostly by accident - sandstone, wool, seeds, and doors and ladders from people's houses. I also made a wooden shovel! But totally by accident - I enjoy messing around in my inventory and putting things in the grid and seeing if anything happens. Then I figured I could use the wiki to actually learn these things - they're called recipes and ingredients - fascinating! I think the language the minecraft community (? that's who came up with this, i assume?) has chosen to use for these things is interesting. The wiki is incredible, wow!! So impressed. I enjoy looking up anything I can think of and seeing how it works in MC. A question - are resources limited?? As others have mentioned, too - but I can't seem to find any more wood, all the trees are trunk-less. Does this mean I have to go to another part of the world to find more resources? A struggle - I get bored when I can't keep making 'progress' - when I can't get the resources I need (like wood) and feeling like I am stuck and cant do anything else in the game. I'm sure I could solve that if I spent more time on the wiki or talking with my peers (shout out to Maddy, who teaches me a lot!) - so I'm learning that going it totally solo in this experinece is generative but also more slow-going in some ways than learning from my peers as resources, too. It's interesting to me that we are all absorbed in our own screens but also talking and teaching/learning with one another. Even though I stopped having as much fun when I felt I couldn't get more resources and keep moving forward, I still found it strangely addicting, in that I didn't want to stop roaming around. Interesting ...
