“Floating Book Table”

“The good news is that it has a bed for my few minutes of sleep each night, a Magic Table for making sticks, and a stone-box thingy (for doing whatever it is that the stone-box thingy does).”

“Would it poop on me? Heh. Just kidding. There isn’t poop in Minecraft. (Is there?)”

“Yikes! I love dogs but I’m not sure what I’ll be in for if I go there.”

“Today I was looking forward to an Indiana Jones day at the temple near the village—only without the spiders, snakes,”

“It was a chicken. He had flown through the hole in the ceiling, and was flapping down. But he didn’t stop at my floor. He went straight through the hole where the blue block had been. He kept on falling and flapping, all the way down into the treasure room. It looked like my test dummy had found me. He landed gently on the gray square.     Nothing happened. I exhaled with relief.   And then…KABOOM!  Yep, I guess I was right after all. It WAS a booby trap. I thanked my lucky stars that I hadn’t tried it out myself. But then I felt kind of bad for the chicken. That brave (and bird-brained) chicken had saved my life! I will forever remember that chicken as Buster, my crash-test dummy. (I think “dummy” may be an especially accurate description in this case.)   Sadly, the chests didn’t make it. There was only a giant crater where they used to be. So long riches and possibly cookies. That’s the way the cookie crumbles. *sigh*   Monday   Good News: I have five emeralds. Bad News: I think another librarian doesn’t like me.   Whew! My pack mule days are finally done. Over the past couple of days, I gathered the last ten blocks of wool I needed to trade for a saddle, and dragged them back to the village. Then, one-by-one I grabbed the blocks of wool from the library, and gave them to the farmer. I don’t think the librarian was too pleased with me. She strung together about nine “Hurrrs” while I removed my blocks of wool. I’ve never heard villagers speak so much. In my experience, that’s usually not a good thing. (Think: Mr. Rimoldi.)   Anyway, it was totally worth it. My wooly trade with the farmer went down without a hitch. Tomorrow I get a saddle!”

“Back at the village, I couldn’t find the woolly farmer (it’s kind of hard because they all look the same), so I stacked the blocks up in the library for safe keeping. I hope the villagers don’t want to read any books for a while.”

“Good News: I found wool. Bad News: There isn’t cotton candy in Minecraft.”
― Minecrafty Family, Wimpy Steve Book 2: Horsing Around! (An Unofficial Minecraft Diary Book)

“another villager strolling my way. I tapped him on the shoulder and his speech box showed the trade, 20 fluffy blocks for one emerald. What are fluffy blocks? Cotton? Cotton candy? Wool? And if it’s wool, how would I get some? I hadn’t seen any sheep. And even if I had, how would you sheer sheep in Minecraft? Punch them like a tree? I will NOT punch a sheep!”

“And then I realized something. I’d traded the farmer for emeralds with wheat from his OWN gardens. But then I thought maybe the farmer didn’t want to harvest the wheat himself. Maybe he wanted to pay someone else to do it. The way I see it, he got his wheat harvested, and I got four emeralds. I think that’s what Mom calls a “win-win situation.”

“I headed back to the village today to “talk” (more like “tap”) to more villagers.”

“Good News: I have four emeralds! Bad News: I’m still one short.”

“Good News: I have a donkey. (Hmm…actually, I’m not sure if having Buck is good news or bad news.) Bad News: No saddle.”
― Minecrafty Family, Wimpy Steve Book 2: Horsing Around! (An Unofficial Minecraft Diary Book)

“This is Buck in a nutshell. He either has no clue what I’m saying, or he has a really warped sense of humor. I’ve tried, and failed at, everything I know to get him to follow directions.  Mostly he just wanders around ignoring me, like I’m not even on his back. But sometimes he does the exact OPPOSITE of what I say. Some examples include: “Whoa!” means “Run!” and “Giddyup!” means “Stop now!” (I may have flown off once or twice).”

“Are you kidding me? I’d spent all afternoon trying to tame a DONKEY?”

“This time that ornery creature full-out belly laughed at me. But to my surprise, instead of “Neigh!” it came out as a loud “Hee-haw!”

“My second attempt ended just as quickly as the first, only this time I was thrown into a tree. It wasn’t pretty. The horse smirked at me (I’m positive this time!) and then trotted off. I followed after him. I didn’t want to spend another whole day searching for another horse.   After a while he stopped at a pond to get a drink. I’m sure playing catapult can make a horse very thirsty. Then I had a great idea. I’d climb on while he was busy drinking.”
― Minecrafty Family, Wimpy Steve Book 2: Horsing Around! (An Unofficial Minecraft Diary Book)

“I approached the horse just like they do in the movies. I walked slowly toward it, talking in a calm, soothing voice. It didn’t immediately run off, which I took as a good sign. I gently patted him a couple of times, and suddenly I was sitting on his back. That was easy, I thought.   And then the next thing I knew, BAM! I was down! Ouch! Onto a cactus!”

“Some concerns that immediately popped into my head included: 1) Was it tame? 2) Would it kick me? 3) Would it bite me? 4) Would it poop on me? Heh. Just kidding. There isn’t poop in Minecraft. (Is there?)”
