Hello Everyone! You guys probably know me by my minecraft journals. I recently tried starting one, but I have played vanilla so much that it got boring. Same stuff all the time, mine, build, impress, repeat. I am playing a modded survival in which I don't know much about any of the mods, only some. I have many cool mods for more building materials, interior design, challenge, etc. Enjoy.

Update 1: Land Generation is Beautiful
So, with Biomes o' Plenty, I spawned in a dunes biome, This isn't the best biome to build in, but it is the most beautiful land I have ever seen.
Just mining some Stone for a start
I went exploring a little bit to see what I can find and I found this generation glitch. A tiny village spawned in a dunes biome. Eventually that house became my temporary house.
Some more Amazing world generation
Found this bamboo forest thankfully there is some wood there, I also got some oak saplings.
My first night and this is what I get, this is not going to be the nicest world.
My view when I look up from my temporary house. I am really loving this world, I better use some of the explorercraft stuff soon.
Finally, caving is way more interesting when you don't know all of the metallurgy ores, and what they do. I was caving and I got zombie sieged, and escaped with one heart. I am going to live another day.
Thank you for viewing my Journal! If you can, please comment below on what you liked/disliked, how I can improve, and what mods I should add. Thanks!
I like your world, the luck of finding that village in the middle of the dunes like that is incredible. If I may make a suggestion, though, perhaps you should include some more text in-between pictures? I can't really get a feel for how you're thinking as you play the world as it is.
One of the Metallurgy ores I see is copper, which is very useful for making a crusher. Nice looking world!
Yes, I did make a crusher from that copper, and I knew about the crusher because of your journal, but I didn't understand much of the metallurgy stuff, but I remembered the crusher

Thanks for the suggestion, I found out that the rest of the village is on top of the dune but that will be in the next update
I was getting a little bored of living in a villager house, rather than my own. And the terrain wasn't the best for building, so I went exploring and found an outback biome, which is fairly flat, and decided to live there. (Pics later) I wanted to know what was past the outback, so I traveled through a tropical rainforest and came across a desert biome, not knowing that quicksand was in the game, and that it could kill me, I wandered on. I found this creeper, slowly killing himself using a cactus.
I also fell into quicksand, and with almost full steel armor, I died. I was devastated. I almost gave up on the journal, but I forced myself to play, and I am so glad I did. I packed up all the stuff that I had, and moved out to the outback, where I will stay. When I lived in the villager hut, I heard a big boom, and come to find out it was a meteor that hit the ground, it hit in the bamboo forest, so not much of a crater.
I also found a meteor crater by my new base.
At my new base, I started mining, I was hoping that I wouldn't hit any caves so that I could start a clean strip mine, but I got lucky/unlucky, however you see it, and mined straight into an abandoned mineshaft, it took me 5 minutes of mining to get my inventory full of all of the metallurgy ores, but it is a good spot for quick ores, eventually I did get down to level 11 and got 4 diamonds.
I encountered this zombie, and he suffocated eventually, he was really tough to hit because of the blindness.
One thing that mo' creatures adds is zombies riding skeleton horses apparently.
I had enough gold to make a lucky block, and I got lucky/unlucky, however you see it. The lucky block spawned in a super-charged creeper, which is normal, but this creeper also was an infernal mob, so it had some perks to it, which is really rare, I never got a picture of the creeper, because right when it spawned, I got a glance at it and then my minecraft crashed, but I was really happy, because of the rarity of it. Here is the before.
And after.
Finally, i'm starting on my permanent house, the base, which is only 1 block high, is going to be black granite brick.
The House itself is going to be 2 stories high, and i'm going to use carpenter's blocks for the roof. I'm going to use Acacia wood for the walls, and bibliocraft/furniture mod for the interior, finally, here is the first floor outline.
Thank you for viewing my journal, and like always, comment what you like/dislike about it and what mod I should add/remove.
Nice start on the house! Seems like it's going to turn out really nice looking. That biome is also interesting, looks like a good place to settle down. Keep up the great work! :D

Thank you! That mod is not my type, I don't like everything that it adds in, but thanks for the suggestion

Yeah, I wanted a little change in the journal, but once this is done, i'll do another vanilla
Geographicraft (formerly Climate Control) - Control climate, ocean, and land sizes; stop chunk walls; put modded biomes into Default worlds, and more!
RTG plus - All the beautiful terrain of RTG, plus varied and beautiful trees and forests.
