Struggle: I really struggled with just collecting things. At first I kept dying and found myself frustrated that every time I respawn I lose all of my materials. On top of that our world seems to be losing resources (where is all the food???). I also find the wiki for the game not very helpful or confusing. Unless I know exactly what I want, the wiki is useless to me. I also am having a lot of trouble finding food. I was basically starving to death and was too impatient to wait for the inevitable, so I let myself drown. Not my finest moment in Minecraft. 

Accomplishment: I finally have a house! It took me a really long time to find all of the materials to build the house and then create it. I ended up taking some other classmate's advice and building it into the side of a mountain so there would be less work. 

Observations: The fact that the resources are dwindling is really interesting and very real world. There is a finite amount of everything making me walk farther to find food or trees to use as wood.
