Adventure!

Last time we were here, I mentioned I had built a portal in the basement of my beach-front house. "What's that portal for and where does it go?"  I'm glad you asked. It goes to a terrifying alternate world where the screams of zombie pigmen fill the air and giant floating marshmallows shoot fiery death.

"Okay, that totally makes sense. Why would you ever go there?" Well. When you're in this alternate world you're able to cover ground much faster. 8x faster in fact! That makes it easier to go on adventures. For example, I came out of the Nether a long way from home and consulted my compass on how to get back. On my way I found adventure like potential cave-ins!

It looked like it would be pretty epic, and I was pretty sure I was under the ocean so I triggered a cave-in for fun. Hundreds of pounds of virtual sand fell, followed by the ocean. I tried to swim out and couldn't. I almost drowned hundreds of miles from home before realizing I was trapped under ice.

I eventually made it out and came back for a better picture of the place I almost died. Ice is not your friend.

After my long day of adventure I built a boat and sailed home. That's my fire-glass tower in the distance welcoming me home.
