Day 10 - Create New World

{World Generation Complete}

The server was created, their adventure could begin. Dominic was the first in the game and he went directly to collect the basic resources. Tom and Chris were quick to follow. They had recently become interested in Minecraft and loved the game, they often played it in threes, but this time they had paid for a server so that all their siblings could play with them.

The three young boys were already a good team: Dominic was the warrior of the group, especially in long distance combat, he loved using the bow and crossbow and no one could compete with him. Tom was the team's collector, he was known to be a great miner, this was his playground, he spent most of his time collecting materials, he did the work for the three of them and had the sufficient technique that he had accumulated by watching a lot of videos. As for Chris, he was everyone's guide, at the beginning of each game he explored as much as possible, noting down every coordinate he considered important, his sense of direction was amazing and he never got lost... and if one of his two companions was in trouble, he didn't hesitate to take up weapons and pick a fight to help them and put them in a safe place to protect the resources.

The game had started well, they spawned into a mountain biome, so there was the possibility to have emeralds straight away, which was a blessing for Tommy, Dominic had already made him a wooden pickaxe and one for himself, Chris had lost no time and was already looking for things in the surroundings. The other two had ventured into the caves, both were planning to gather ores but Dominic wanted to find skeletons and spiders so he could play with the bow as soon as possible.

Chris found something to eat, at least for himself, but he had to join the others. There was no traces of structures around, so he collected some wood before joining the others. It was when the three of them were in the caves together that their trio was most formidable, with a miner, a warrior and an explorer, very few things could resist them: Dominic was in charge of defending his brothers, Tommy was the crazy miner who moved at lightning pace and gathered ressources and Chris was the one who looked at every square millimeter of the cave to find something useful.

Once assembled and equipped, they set out in search of minerals, Chris took on the role of the vanguard of the group and showed Tommy the way, Tommy would stop for any minerals he could collect, and Dominic would collect cobblestone while waiting to stumble upon a moped. After a few dozen minutes, the small group had stumbled upon an abandoned mine (which was Chris's favorite structure) so they settled into the cave by digging out of the stone. They didn't have any bed, so they planned to take advantage of the abundance of cobwebs to collect them and make wool from them. Chris had led the way with his axe in hand, Dominic on his left with his sword in hand, and Tommy was on the back as he recovered the abundance of resources and ores they found. In order to have enough to make three beds plus Dominic's bow, they would need about forty cobwebs so they retrieved them as they went along to avoid approaching too close from a mob spawner, because in this very place it meant only one thing: cave spiders which gave a poisonous effect in case of attack.

Dom : Chris wait !

Chr : What ?

Dom : We're going to make shields, we'll be more serene that way.

Chr : No time to cook all the iron just for two shields, we will handle it, don't worry.

Tom: I'll take over if anything goes wrong.

Dom: I'd like to avoid it, I mean you're the one with the resources.

Chr : He'll be fine, don't worry.

Tom : Exactly, don't worry bestie, nobody dies today!

Dom: * sigh* If you say so...

Their gathering continued, they had come across two spawners but from a distance, and Chris had been able to remember the key places in here, they had gone around to collect string, and after an hour and a half of effort they had finally collected everything, Chris had used his incredible memory to bring them back to their makeshift base, they had made a bed and gotten into it to save their point of appearance. But as they were about to embark on the following of their adventure, they were all suddenly caught up by reality as Thoma, Lannion and Don had silently crawled behind their backs, lifted them from their chairs by their waists before pinning them to the ground and tickling them, as it had been lunchtime for about ten minutes and they still weren't answering the call. They finally went eating after begging their brothers to stop.

To be continued.
