I spent the seventeenth and eighteenth days collecting wood and expanding the treehouse. It became abundantly clear I needed a stable food source, so I cleared a space for farms at the base of the treehouse. On the nineteenth morning, I finished adding a room coming off the staircase. I went over to the clearing I had made and begun working on my farms. I started by making a cocoa bean farm.

I found a wandering trader while I was working and took this as an opportunity. I killed both his llamas because I needed leads for catching animals. If you read the other weeks so far, you’d know I don’t really care about wandering traders. I caught a chicken, thinking I could farm chickens, and was about to make a pen for it when I heard a zombie. I didn’t think it was that dark out, but it was raining, so I couldn’t really tell. I ran up the stairs without even turning to look at what I assumed was a zombie. I rushed over to my bed and slept through the night.

On day twenty, I made a pen for the chicken. I also made a fire pit and some seats. I foraged for watermelons with the hope it would last until my farms were done. I went to bed and the next morning I visited the dripstone cave. I collected nearly two stacks of cobblestone and some coal before my pickaxe broke. It was dark out by then, but luckily not too many monsters bothered me before I got to my base and fell asleep.

On the twenty-second day, I started building a hut by the pond. It took me all day and all the next morning to finish it. I spent the afternoon building a storage hut over by the clearing. When I finished the hut, I decided to check in on my chicken. I walked over to the chicken pen only to find that an ocelot had eaten my chicken.

The next day, after taming some parrots, I headed out into the woods to find some sheep to replace my chicken. Why sheep, you ask? I couldn’t replace my chicken with another chicken because it would just be killed again. To be honest with you, I wanted cows, but I found sheep first and figured it would do.

I realized there was no avoiding making a wheat field if I wanted to breed animals, so I dug through my chest before realizing I had used all my seeds on taming parrots. I headed down to the clearing and collected seeds from the grass. I didn’t really have any other choice but planting the seeds by the fishing pond, considering I don’t have any buckets, so that’s what I did. I crafted hoe and tilled a small patch of land near the pond.

As was planting the seeds, I heard a noise that sounded sort of like a creeper. I looked around. I must have been hearing things. I heard it again. It sounded like a parrot was imitating a creeper. I looked around again, looking for a parrot this time. Nothing. I planted another seed. There it was again. I heard the noise again and realized what was happening. There was a parrot on my shoulder.

I ignored my annoying parrot and finished the wheat and melon patch. I had done it! I finally had finished enough farms to actually start farming! It was almost sundown though, so I climbed up the treehouse and checked in on Reuben. I sorted out my messy inventory into my chests and watched the sunset before climbing into bed and falling asleep. To be continued…

Make sure to check out the previous weeks if you haven’t already. I play on bedrock edition. The seed is -4855815448293228302. If I’m not mistaken, last week I said I would choose a name for my dog this week. So, without further ado, I have decided on… drumroll please… Thingy. All I’m going to say about next time is that there will be plenty of exploring. And with that, make sure to leave a like before you go and stay tuned for the next chapter!
