I have a problem. Every time I make a survival world, I get bored after I do the basic things(Get diamonds, kill dragon, full enchanting table, etc.). I was thinking about how to fix my "problem", and decided to start a "journal" of a survival world. But this isn't any normal survival world journal, because they are tons of those, this is going to be The Ultra-Hardcore Journal.
It's a survival world, with natural health regeneration turned off. My goal is to have a normal survival world, while staying alive. Every time I die, I'll increase the number of deaths by one, and add a picture of me dieing, or what happened after I died. I'll also keep a counter of all the golden apples I eat, and potions I drink. I'm going to try and post pictures of everything important that I do, or anything that "pops" out to me.
So, without further ado, I present The Ultra-Hardcore Journal.
Death Counter
Death #1:
I was doing a little caving, and got attacked by cave spiders. I dug up to get out, and gravel fell on me. I was hoping to go down in glory for my first death, but this is just sad. Killed by gravel.
Journal Entries
Update #1: Beginnings & Something That Starts With B
Starting up the world, I'm pumped!Pretty good starter chest, an axe would've been nice too.I guess this is a good place to settle, tons of trees nearby, lots o' pigs, and a good view.Made a ladder down to bedrock. I think I'll try and get full iron armor from shaft mining, so I won't have to worry about losing lots of health while caving.It's killing me not being able to mine these ores yet, gotta get some iron first.Aw yeah! No damage taken yet, probably because I've only fought one hostile mob. I'm already having a lot of fun doing this, this should help my "problem".
Update #2: Farmin' And Shaftin'
I decided to do a little caving, and found iron right off the bat. Now I can mine those ores!Diamonds! Six from 1 vein, pretty good.More diamonds! Wow, I'm getting lucky! 5 from that vein.Great shaft mining run!I went ahead and set up some basic farms, a tree farm for a project I have in mind, wheat for for breeding, and a sugercane farm for bookshelves.I had a great success shaft mining, and with the diamonds I'll be able to set an enchanting table. I have an idea for a building, but it'll use tons of wood, thats what the farms for. Kind of a short update, but better then nothing I guess
Update #3: Enchanting & Mooving?
Now that freaked me out, can you see it?Time to make a enchanting table! I need to collect some obsidian, then I can make it.Oooo, I think I just found a new location to live.Goodbye old base! You served me well!Setting up a cow farm at my new base.Before I mowed the lawn After I mowed the lawn All the seeds/flowers I collected from "mowing my lawn"Gathered some more stuff for my "Secret Project"Anyone care to guess what the "Secret Project" is? Also, I prefer the grass/flowers being gone, but I might change it back. Also, I enchanted all my armor/tools. Be back with more soon! Feedback is welcome!
Update #4: Good & Bad Caving
I realized I didn't have hardly any ores, so I decided to do a little caving. I wish I hadn't.
Wow, four creepers, and that's not even counting the other 5 that walked up.
Just saying, the rest of these picture bring up bad memories.
Dang it. It's from cave spiders. Dang it.
This is the most humiliating way to die. Half a heart left, digging up to the surface, And guess what block decided to fall on me. Gravel, I hate you.
Yes! I found my stuff! At least I didn't lose my items.
Getting ambushed by zombies on my way out.
Ahhhh, sunlight. But I have no idea where I am.
Look! It's a Vllage & Desert Temple! Hopefully I'll find some gold...
Am I the only one who thinks they added villiger noises so people wouldn't make villiger farms?
Now that is some good loot.
Found my home just in time, no zombies will be killing me tonight(or gravel).
After caving, +gold, +iron, +exp, + 1 death.
Almost all the damage I took was from skeletons and gravel. Because I did two updates in one day, I'll wait a little while before I release another. But It'll be a large one
Update #5: Business & Building
First golden apples!
There goes 2 apples...
I set up a full enchanting table by using the bookshelves from the village.
Doing a little farming, so I can breed the cows.
Went back to my old base to get some cobblestone for the "Secret Project"
I used pistens to push the fences in one block, so I don't have to jump in the pen to get the loot that falls in the center.
Time to begin my "Secret Project"! First I need to blow this up.
I love using TnT in survival
That looks good, time to start building.
And that's the secret project, or a small fraction of it I should say.
The secret project is going to be building a village at my new base, It's going to have tons of building, farms, and whatever I think of. Not much of a secret project, but it'll be worth it when I finish. I'm going to finish the wall later, have some other things to do for now. Thanks goes to Voxels for his building guide, I used some of his tips.
Update #6:Potions & Planing(Special!)
I'm going to be going to the nether today, so I'm healing up with 2 apples
I'm going to the nether becuase I really need to get potions, and they are way cheaper to make then golden apples.
Nice safe spawn.
Oooo, found a fortress right off away.
First blaze.
Awwww yeaaaah! Now I just need netherwart.
Oh, I forgot chests spawn in fortresses, sweet
That's some good loot, too bad I don't have a horse.
Wow, I shot a ghast above lava, and the tear barely made it. I'll use it for regeneration potions.
I set up a small netherwart farm, so I can brew potions.
I brewed some regeneration 2 potions with the ghast tear, I'll brew some instant health later.
Well, that special sucked. Sorry everyone, but I didn't have much time to make this. I'll do some more work on the village next update, and probably make a tunnel down to bedrock for a shaft mine. I'm almost to level 30, then I can enchant a diamond pickaxe and hopefully get fortune. I'm going to remove the golden apple counter, seeing as I won't use apples anymore. Thanks so much everyone, I'm having a great time doing this, and it's making survival a lot more fun. Maybe next special will actully be good...
Update #7: Spawners & Skeletons
I started making a walkway down to y 12, so I can start a shaft mine.
It doesn't go very far down yet.
Made a little melon farm so I can brew instant health potions.
First health potions!
This is normal Ultra-Hardcore caving.
Skeleton spawner! Yes! Now I can have infinate bones and arrows!
Ah, good. A saddle from the chest. Now I can find and tame a horse, maybe I'll do that later.
Setting up a exp farm.
It's working! It's working!
Dang, mobs have envaded my home.
First potion!
Great! Just what I wanted
Time to look for horses.
Back at the village and temple.
Ooo, that's really cool. I keep finding places I want to build at.
I didn't find any horses
Wow! 1000 views. Thanks for the support everyone! What diamond tool/item should I enchnat next time? I'm thinking a sword or pick.
Update #8: Being & Back
Time to get some xp!
Come on...
YESOHYEA- oh, wait. never mind.
Zombie pigmen be sneaking up on me.
30 lvl bow, pretty good.
Digging out a area for the skeleton spawner.
This is taking longer then I thought it would.
Time to do another pick, so I won't have to use my fortune 3 one.
eh. pretty lame.
Thats about 300 skeletons.
45 levels. Pretty awesome
I'm sooooooooo sorry for not putting any updates out, I've been extremely busy. I should be able to put more updates out now that I have more free time. I've also decided to take out the potion counter, it was becoming a hassle. See you people later!
Thanks to Voxels, for inspiring me to do this! See his journal here.
Playing with health regen disabled makes the game a lot more interesting and challnging, I hope to see more of what you do on your world. Hopefully you have better luck than me though, I constantly run into skeletons and I've used 2 golden apples already because of them.

Thanks! I will definitely be posting more of my world! I'm going to have to hurry and get potions, so I won't be wasting tons of gold for apples.

Nice idea, are you going to be making a new post on this thread every time, or only updating the OP? If you haven't decided, please do the former because then I'll get a notification every time you update this, which would be awesome

Seems like your new home is nice and flat, should make it easier to build a large project there. I prefer the grass and flowers to be gne too, sometimes after I build a few buildings depending on the theme of the area I might plant some gardens but most of the time I just leave all of the plants removed. As for the secret project I have no idea what it could be, I wonder if it will be bigger than what I'm planning to built.
Update #4 Is Out! Wow, 2 updates in one day! Thanks for the support everyone
Seems like you had the same luck as me with skeletons. I didn't have any trouble with caves spiders in my mineshaft though, I only ran into one cave spider spawner but quickly managed to block it up before any could spawn. Too bad about you're first death, it's good that you managed to find your items though. Hopefully I don't get my first death until I atleast beat the enderdragon. I also hope your trip to the nether goes well when you do it.

I was trying to not die until I killed the Enderdragon, but things didn't work out as I planned. I'm going to go to the nether in a few updates(hopefully).

Hopefully you don't take as long as I did to find nether wart, took me fifteen minutes to find a nether fortress but it had no nether wart, took another twenty minutes to find a nether fortress that had nether wart and another twenty minutes to get back to my portal. Also got myself a pet zombie pigman after one of my trips when I was mining for quartz.

That stinks. Hopefully I'll find some right away, would hate to have another death
