I got a lot done on Minecraft today in my Underground-but-with-a-Glass-Roof NPC village.
- Added doors everywhere along the walls and my Villagers bred like mad.
- Eventually got a Farmer offering Melon Slices and I was all over it, since Melons were my ultimate goal for the Village. Now I won't have to resort going on Creative to give myself them.
- While I was trading to ultimately achieve netting myself Melons, I managed to net myself a Diamond Chestplate, Diamond Boots and a Diamond Hoe. I've also got a Blacksmith offering a Diamond Pickaxe.
- Added a chapel made primarily of End Stone and Birch Wood and shoved a priest in it behind a fence as the "owner". My Butchery has a butcher and my Smith has 2 Blacksmiths (both have amazing trades, hence why I have 2).
- Covered the rooves of all my "shops" with torches so Mobs won't spawn on them when I take Peaceful off.
- Made a path made of Gravel connecting each of the more important buildings
- Made a Fountain out of Cobblestone in the shape of an Exit Portal filled with water.
- Made a little hut containing a Furnace, bed, crafting table and an Ender Chest so I don't have to keep leaving the room to craft/smelt/get shit out.
- Finally, added a quick exit route via a huge Jungle Tree and Vines. Before, the only exit was through my house basement which can result in a bit of a trek depending on where I want to go.
Basically my player-made NPC village looks awesome now; still need to add some finishing touches, like the tunnel connecting the Village to the hole-in-the-ground leading to the End Portal.
When I wasn't do any of the above, the rest of my time was spent collecting stuff for trades; mostly Paper, Wheat, Raw Chicken and White Wool. I was very determined to get those Melons; they were the only cultivatable foodstuff/ingrediant I didn't have.
