1 TnT craTers and Griefers it was a quiet morning as Steve walked through the local village toward Eliot the Blacksmith’s shop to trade his wheat for emeralds Steve had an abundance of wheat because his farm was thriving Steve loved knowing his supply of wheat could provide him with all the necessities to survive in Minecraft Are you going to use these emeralds to decorate your house asked Eliot the Blacksmith Steve smiled How did you know Steve really enjoyed using the emeralds to decorate the walls of his home He loved the way the green blocks highlighted the grey stone walls But he also knew that if he kept the emeralds he could use them to trade with other villag ers Thanks for the emeralds he said I’ll invite you over soon so you can see how they look Steve waved goodbye On the village street Steve ran into his neighbor Adam Look at all those emeralds Adam remarked 1
2 Yes I just traded them for wheat Well if you’d like to trade the emeralds I have a lot of new potions Adam opened up his chest to display bottles of potions Adam was an alchemist who lived with his friend Thomas an explorer They were good neighbors to have when you were in trouble because Adam had so many useful potions and Thomas was skillful at fighting off creepers Luckily Steve hadn’t needed their help yet No thank you I don’t need any potions said Steve Adam wasn’t going to take no for an answer Really You don’t want a potion of water breathing If you get stuck in water you can still breathe I’m never near water It wouldn’t come in handy said Steve What about a splash potion of slowness You can use that on your enemies Do you have any in your inventory You can really get hurt if somebody attacks you and it comes in very handy for slowing them down Steve thought about his inventory He didn’t have many potions if any at all He remembered battling a witch with his friends Henry Max and Lucy and they had used potions to help them win the battle The potions had been essential in fighting off the witch Steve took out the emeralds Okay Adam he said I’ll take the potion of slowness I hear there is one that lasts eight minutes The Mystery of the Griefer’s Mark
TNT Craters and Griefers 3 Yes it does last that long and you’re in luck because I happen to have it on hand As Steve handed the minerals to Adam he hoped he wouldn’t regret this trade Adam looked through his chest filled with potions That’s odd I thought I had a lot more potions in this chest I know I had at least three bottles of the potion of weakness but now I only have one Do you think somebody is stealing your potions I hope not but it looks like that is happening Adam looked through his chest one more time Oh no I don’t have any bottles of the potion of harming I had six yesterday Maybe you traded them and forgot suggested Steve No I keep a log of all the potions I’ve sold Someone is stealing from me Who would do something like that Steve asked as Adam handed him the potion of weakness Adam was angry he had worked hard to brew all these potions and he didn’t want anybody stealing them I bet it’s a griefer he said A griefer Steve felt bad for Adam And he was also worried about himself If the griefer was attacking his neighbor he could be next Yes how else would the potions go missing asked Adam Steve pointed to a piece of wool on the ground next to Adam’s chest Look at that Did you drop wool
