1 life on The farm steve wasn’t a risk taker he lived a simple life on a flourishing wheat farm where he grew carrots potatoes and pumpkins and bred pigs Afternoons were spent talking to Eliot the blacksmith or Avery the librarian who lived in the nearby village In the village he’d trade wheat and coal for emeralds He used the emeralds to adorn the walls of his home Yet that morning he decided to head to town and exchange some of his extra emeralds for iron Steve wanted to craft iron armor Although he never planned on using it he was cautious and knew it was important to have armor He also liked crafting things Eliot was in his shop when Steve arrived and said Hi Steve Looking for more emeralds No Steve took out the emeralds I have too many I’d like to exchange them for iron ingots What are you going to do with iron Eliot asked 1
2 as he gave Steve the blocks Build another Golem You were so nice to build that for our village Thanks but I want to craft armor replied Steve Are you going on an adventure Eliot couldn’t be lieve his ears Steve was the last person he’d expect to want armor or go on an adventure I hope not Steve smiled I just thought it would be good to have in my inventory Enjoy crafting Steve Eliot gave him the iron ig nots On the way home Steve ran into Avery the librar ian who said You should come by the library Steve We have lots of new books in I can’t today he told her I’m crafting armor How exciting exclaimed Avery Are you plan ning an adventure You know me Steve remarked I like to stay out of trouble and stick close to home Sometimes people don’t plan adventures they just happen Avery had read every adventure tale in the library she loved those stories That’s true Steve smiled at Avery But I’d rather just keep the armor in my inventory and read about adventures in books Steve crafted his iron armor He tried it on and walked around his house I must look like a warrior he said to himself as he put the armor away and took a short walk before dusk Steve would never venture out at night he knew that was when creepers could attack him The Quest for the Diamond Sword
Life on the Farm 3 His farm wasn’t far from the water and he walked over and looked out at the enormous blue ocean as he wondered what lands might be on the other side He had never hopped on a boat to find out If Steve had an adventure story to tell it would be about the time he once tamed an ocelot Lost in the vast unexplored jungle surrounded by bushes deep in the jungle biome Steve spotted an animal racing past him toward an overgrown patch of grass and weeds As the animal’s pace slowed he could make out its yellow fur covered in black and brownish spots It was a wild ocelot The ocelot’s piercing green eyes stared menacing ly at Steve Steve’s heart skipped a beat He wanted to tame this wild beast He offered the feline raw fish which the hungry ocelot eagerly accepted With each bite the ocelot transformed into a tame animal Slowly the cat’s skin took on a ginger tone until it resembled a typical tabby cat The ocelot’s tail shrunk signifying it was no longer feral Steve named the ocelot Snuggles He’d be the first to admit he felt safer on the farm with Snuggles As everyone knows ocelots scare off creepers Steve was afraid of creepers Steve knew that if you were careful you could avoid running into any creepers skeletons spiders silverfish zombies and other hostile mobs whose sole purpose was to attack In fact Steve had helped secure the vil lage from a zombie attack He built a fence all the way around the village and placed torches along the main street so all the land inside the wall was brightly lit
