    Or you could save yourself the trouble and just cheat the resources.

    or you could role play each new creation. Oooh a chest from whomever! thanks, that’ll help me get started!

      Waiting for a mod that enables MTX for fans. Just spend some money to send them diamonds, ancient debris, whatever in a chest to get them to skip the boring parts. The you don’t need to do resource gathering off stream /s?

        enables MTX

        I don’t know what this means.

        but i play mc once or twice a year these days, with my kid and nephews, java. have been playing since indev but really see it as a sandbox more than a game. a few things:

        I always turn on the starter chest and try to survive a night. I also enable keep inventory on death because if I mined something i want to keep it fuck sake lol

        great sandbox. meh level game. still respect it though and understand realms and bedrock are different experiences and I’m judging through old grognard lenses.

          MTX - Microstransactions. I was referring to starting a new world and live streaming it on YouTube/Twitch/…

          I joked that the caving and mining will be quite tedious if you want to do specific builds and just need tons of specific resources. Many streamers will just go and afk at a farm and/or mine for hours off stream and then just stream the interesting parts. So you could do the opposite: (Also) stream the boring and tedious parts in the whole length and offer you viewers some micro transactions so that they can pay money to send you some resources directly.

          There are some twitch/game integrations that offer something like this. E.g. Crowd control support Minecraft and lets viewers pay money to (temporarily) alter the game like giving you a minute of creative mode, forcing you to drink specific potions, delete items from your inventory (or clutter the inventory with useless items) and so on. https://crowdcontrol.live/game/minecraft/?pack=Minecraft

          For my experience: Start a new world, get basic tools, get wood, build boat, travel the water to find a village, set up an early easy iron farm and from there on you’re usually set. The fun for me is nowadays either doing some builds, tinkering with Redstone or interacting with other players.
