First blog post about one of Kurt's archived livestreams! They're kinda long so I'll make one for each hour.
This is Kurt's debut on 1.8 and on the season 5 server. He spawns near a fountain at night and is welcomed by Baj and Pyro. Pyro later gives Kurt a tour of the mushroomy house he built with a hot tub on the roof and also welcomes him with food.
I always found the MindCrack community fascinating, broadcasting their Minecraft server from all the different perspectives and the Ultra Hardcore competitions are always really exciting!
So they chat for a while and Kurt explores the buildings and structures they've all made so far. Morning comes and Kurt continues exploring and gathering basic resources, even during the rain. He also checks out the area beyond the edge of the map and comes across zombies and one big cluster of creepers! Fortunately, our hero pulls through.
Kurt spends more time getting used to the latest version of Minecraft after a hiatus and focusing on Far Lands or Bust and marvels at the fact that sheep now drop meat. Didn't know that either myself until now, one year later after watching this.
There are other changes too like the faces now appearing on the online list of players. Kurt does a bit of caving, looking for iron before leaving at dawn. He talks about how he doesn't eat breakfast in real life anymore. I usually try to eat breakfast myself. He usually just has coffee but today he had to eat something before the livestream started.
There's an interesting area damned off from water that has some surface iron in the sand that Kurt explores. By this point Pyro and baj log off from doing their own things so it's just Kurt exploring all the curiosities the server has to offer.
He struggles with boats which is pretty entertaining as he's not used to the different way they behave now.
At this stage he wants to find the farm town project the others have been working on so he explores more, going through a jungle along the way. He gets so hungry at one stage he has to eat a spider eye but soon he finds some watermelon. Luckily they're not as rare as he feared! They seem to be common on the jungle edge biome.
Finally he finds the farm town with the... unusually shaped silo and immediately raids (and replenishes!) the potato crop. He gets cosy near the door of the barn, cooking the potatoes and then decides to turn in for the night. Luckily he's the only one on the server!
He collects some eggs from the barn, makes some iron equipment and towards the end of the hour he looks at the chat and is asked about the missing quartz on the door. Maybe it's rare? I dunno myself... I have no idea about quartz in the game.
