WanderingInDigitalWorlds, I’ve begun the digging project underneath my base in earnest as I dug to -15 deep into the mountain! I found plenty of diamonds and other rare resources by surveying and lighting up the area. I gathered quite a few blocks but not enough to truly build seriously!
This Minecraft project will require many stacks of various stones, wood, and glass! I stopped digging tonight and will resume my mining in the morning. Going to bed early tonight.
