Before we dive into this article, I must confess something to you. When it comes to video games, there are moments when sheer terror grips me, and beads of cold sweat trickle down my forehead. You can’t imagine what it was like playing Bloodborne…I found myself desperately fleeing, searching for a safe haven. So how did I end up in Minecraft? I came here seeking a tranquil, secure existence. After planting seeds and establishing a vast farm, I decided to take a stroll, and guess what? I got lost!
Imagine my horror when I learned about the Nether update. People told me, “You have to face your fears!” Well, I’m ready. Gathering all my courage, I’ve come here to share my experiences in the Nether!
Explosive Dreams
In the real world, I cherish my sleep. Rest is the most comfortable and secure way to spend a day. However, the developers of Minecraft have a different perspective, which is why they made beds explode. Just imagine: after enduring a dreadful day in the Nether, you finally get to snuggle into bed for some sweet dreams… only for it to blow up on you! I was reassured that a respawn anchor would allow me to safely return in the Nether, so a bed isn’t really necessary. Alright, I’ll just hug the respawn anchor instead. Hopefully, I’ll wake up in a safe spot in the Overworld, and all these horrors will turn out to be just a nightmare.
Widespread Lava
Do you remember playing “the floor is lava” as a child? Well, the Nether in Minecraft Bedrock takes that idea to heart, but with a serious twist. I’m not scared at all. I just quietly sob while constructing a dirt bridge and trying my best not to glance down at those massive lakes of lava that could obliterate me in mere seconds.
Cute yet incredibly dangerous
When I first encountered Piglins and Hoglins, my initial thought was, “How can such beautiful creatures pose a threat to me?” The truth is, it’s quite easy. I’ve heard that Piglins have a fondness for gold, and I could potentially use it to either befriend this charming creature or become its sworn enemy. However, with my 2017 iron armor, I’m not inclined to change for any Piglin. That’s what self-respect looks like. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll just be here, covering myself in dirt and crawling on my stomach to avoid being spotted by the Piglins.
About Resources
A typical scenario: You find yourself surrounded by angry Piglins, and all you have is a stone hoe. In the Nether, resources are hard to come by, and running to the portal can be quite perilous. To prevent such situations, I’ve devised an infallible strategy. Always carry eight diamond swords with you. The first one is for taking out anything that approaches me. The second is in case the first breaks. The remaining six are for soothing my soul when I’m fleeing from something terrifying, knowing I could easily defeat it. I simply prefer to conserve valuable materials rather than waste them on escape.
The Weeping Creature
So, are you satisfied now? I didn’t risk my life for this article, but it was definitely frightening! I know most of you are braver than I am, so I’ll ask you one thing: “Can I hide behind you the next time we go through the portal?”
