Come one, come all, and witness one of the coolestMinecrafthomes I’ve ever bothered to help make. Look, I’m not usually a builder in survival crafting games. I’m an explorer (and frequent dier). But, with theCaves & Cliffs Part 2 updatethat arrived last month, I’ve had a newfound purpose: create the coolest home I can find in the biggest cave I can find. And so I give to you, the upside down deepslate pyramid (located right beneath some festive tundra!)

Me and my friends always manage to get back into Minecraft around this time every year, but I’ve been particularly excited about our new venture because of the game’s new Lush Cave biomes. However, after a few hours of looking for one in various seeds, we couldn’t find any. Oh, there’s dripstone as far as the eye can see, but I’ve yet to see a single cave filled with plants. I’m starting to think they might not exist.

Aaaand here’s what it looks like now:

I have no shader mods, so it’s gloomy as heck in here.

It’s mostly been a lovely place to set up. Admittedly, Ollie’s mention of the tundra outside of the cavern in his guide was one of the main reasons I wanted to use this seed. It feels proper Christmassy when we leave to explore the chilly biome, and sometimes snow even makes its way to the top of our cavern home, too.

Reader, I tried to be better. I tried to be a helpful builder, gathering supplies for my friends and offering to explore outside. Then two of us ventured out, 2000 blocks away, until we finally managed to spot a grassy, snow-free biome ahead.

Just as a village started to appear on the horizon, we died to a creeper. I lost our diamond pickaxe. We respawned in the icy darkness. And just like that, I’m done with Minecraft for another year.
