I don't normally make these kind of threads, but as I frequently write a Minecraft blog - I thought I'd try. For his journal is going to be a survival Hexxit journal and not only will it be about my adventures with your suggestions and ideas it will be very interactive as well! I have played Hexxit quite a lot before, but never really got the hang of what to so with stuff once I get it, so that is where you come in! You can help me with my goals, and direct me.
Main Goal
This is the idea I had last night, and that was to build a mansion out of a battle tower! I have in the past conquered a battle tower and begun renovating it after it's destruction - to live there, but never got far on the building side. The idea is this - once conquered I will do a partial renovation and restore the ruins, then on either side of the battle tower I will build the sides of the mansion out so the front of the house will return a half-curve of half the battle tower sticking out! Eventually that part will be rendered in new building material.
Beyond that it's your idea to help and guide me and give me ideas!
Day #1
So i spawned here:
Pretty nice huh? And there's a jungle near buy as well which is useful! I didn't fancy trying to hack an entire jungle tree down yet however, so I started looking for a smaller oak tree to make the basics, all I could find however was a stumpy jungle tree but that would do! As I travelled along the edge of the mountain however my gaze was drawn to a building in the distance!:
Before this I noticed some that stone in the side of the mountain, which is why I headed that way. I had already just made a crafting bench and wooden pick, the only items I make to then get stone tools. Standard protocol of mine on any world - modded or vanilla. I would get the stone on the way to this wonderous building, when I went to dig hoever, it wasn't just stone there!:
Of course with a newly acquired wood pick and a stone pick I'm about to make I obviously can't get it yet! I carry on towards the building after making my basic stone equipment - again standard for me in any world - vanilla and Modded. Now I have a stone - pick, axe, sword, shovel and hoe as well as a furnace. On my way I encounter more ores:
Lapis! Oh and Gold I suppose..
I still need Iron though!
More ores, especially diamonds!:
Still need Iron though!
I hopped onto a tree to look for a visible cave, but saw none. As I get nearer the building, I remember seeing these in Hexxit before. I don't feel quite ready to take it on yet, not until I've at least got an Iron sword. There is another smaller building though. (I actually forgot these were the upside-down ones that go down) and decided I could take that on first! night was drawing in so I needed shelter but when I went inside - bad news. As well as skeleton and zombie spawners there was also a cave spider spawner (My pet hate!) and blazes!
I died trying to get out to regain health and recover. I must've died just on the edge or in the window hole as when I went back my sword was just lying outside - which was handy! Things got worse however. Not only was I shot by a skeleton - I was shot and the knock-back sent me through a hole in the floor to the next level down, the last place I wanted to be! You think it can't get worse? it did. I then fell through a hole next to me on that floor to even further down! I tried to scrambled up the stairs but died - again. Upon my return it was already turning to day...
Day #2
As the sun came up, thoughts turned to just getting my sword and "Calling it quits" - not quitting I mean, I mean leaving the rest of the stuff in the other grave. I had wasted the night in repeatedly trying to get my stuff back.and should just being happy that I could still get my sword more than anything, everything else was replaceable.
A blaze was lingering outside as well as skeletons everywhere. I also passed to closely to the other larger buildings and the guards spawned, oops. I stayed away enough not to attract their attention. As the sun rose I needed my sword but the mobs were everywhere! I went travelling in another direction, only to a nearby spot as the sun rose more fully. There was a ruin of another building nearby:
This would be a good temporary home for the night. I made a new set of tools and managed to rush in and destroy the blaze spawner at least, but was then killed by a cave spider, poisoned to death! Upon my return I managed to retrieve my sword from the dungeon and begun wandering towards the temporary building, There was a palm tree near by do I grabbed some logs, bush (Might be strawberry or Raspberries?) and also some Gyshal greens as I want a chocobo in the future. My inventory at the end of the day:
After this picture was taken I wandered outside a noticed a small hole in the ground with some visible stone and coal ore just by the water's edge, so as the sun went down I dug for more cobble for new tools and retrieved some coal so at least I has some light whilst I wait for the next day. It's pretty noisy outside with a few rhino's around but I am safe at least, blocking up some of the walls and making them higher with some sand I had acquired as I waited for the next day...
Session #3
Session #3
Emerging from my home I went down the small cave and found something I didn't realise was there. There was a very long drop down and I thought it might lead to a ravine, but no, instead what I got was even better.
When I got to the bottom I found cobble - and it wasn't placed by me. I thought it might be a dungeon, but instead the hole I made in the wall led to a series of rooms. Each darkened room had chests - some had spawners some didn't. I heard a high pitch squealing and thought it was Enederman, but instead it was some wierd ghostly knight in chain mail.
The following pictures sow the rooms and my inventory with the finds, they may or may not be in the right order though:
This is the guy, and there were lots of them!:
My inventory to be unloaded into chests at my "Temporary home":
There is a battle tower on the surface near my temporary home, unfortunately it's right in the middle of the ocean - so is not a good location for the Battle tower ownage & renovation into a mansion. I will go across and tackle it though.
The search for the perfect battle tower location continues!

Instead of doing it by "days" I will do it by sessions. So entry/session #3 is now up! I think this one was a two hour session at least! Just done another big one to day - so lots of exciting stuff to post next time!

Day #2 is up to try and stir some interest, it's a bit short as it's a continuation of the previous day, but day #3 will be adventurous I'm sure.
