Started a new amplified world, for something else and spawned on a very isolated island!. A freakishly isolated one in the middle of the ocean! It's not going to be a home in a mountain (Again!), I set myself some challenges and new rules. The twist - *I cannot build inside the mountain! *Any rooms I need for this have to be on the mountain or coming off the mountain. That means there may well be platforms built of the sides of the mountain - but no building inside it! I can use the inside for resources - but that's all! *I can also convert the sides of the mountain if I wish - which is an idea, looks completely built on the outside but is really solid mountain inside. Red the full story: Here.

So I went exploring this very small sand island nearby - very nearby and at first I thought it was nothing. There was nothing there except a small hole down into the ground, but, I followed it and it led to a ravine! Unfortunately it was a very boring plain ravine, no abandoned mine. As I explored the off-shoot caves at the bottom however, the more I explored deeper - the more I could hear that ocean monument which I know is of another island a distance from my own one. At one point whilst seeing if I could accidentally tunnel a way in the ghost appeared in front of me and nearly gave me a heart attack! Of course I couldn't do any regular mining for 4 minutes due to miner's fatigue (So I must've been close), and right after I of course found diamonds I couldn't touch! Whilst waiting I ate bread as I was close to starvation then realized I couldn't even axe my work bench up and had to wait more! After waiting I got the gold, diamonds and other stuff, and sure enough it happened again - and still scared me! So I decided to head home. On the boat trip back however, I just noticed this: I always thought there was just one cow of the island! There were in fact two so I dug a few blocks to try and lure the second cow with wheat onto the mountain and up it, where I made a quick pen. (I don't believe in digging hole pits for friendly mobs.) I still had to create a temporary platform in the sea however, just for them to climb up out of the water on to something.
The only trouble is the lack of room, and the new cow pen takes a lot of that near the entrance of the mine. I've also begun creating a new platform on the other side of the mountain lower down, near a cave entrance:
Unlike the storage platform, I've opted for a round one instead of plain box shaped. The line of cobble is the cut-off point as I can't build within the mountain! I've a few ideas for underneath, once I have a proper floor, I can - use the dirt as a support underneath, I could build actual supports using logs so it looks like it's supported of the mountain properly OR one other idea I had. That is to build another platform lower down underneath so the top platform could be an enchantment area, the next down a brewing area and so on. Possibly surrounded by glass? So it's tube like?
These platforms all go towards the ocean monument goal eventually.
