I Made Trees Explode (and regretted it)

Wood is the most important item in Minecraft, it's literally the building block of almost every recipe in the game and the best way to get it early on is to hit a couple of these guys, but what if in 1.18 when you were mining? Will a tree

explode

? If you survive, could you even make a crafting table? I did it, but I would never have guessed how I did it, as lore goes, the first objective of any Minecraft world is to hit the first tree you see and call it force of habit or simple curiosity that I intended. to maintain said tradition, but we will also need tools and weapons to defend ourselves during the night, which would require three things: a workbench, some iron and some sticks or, hopefully, find them in a loot chest, please have a pickaxe, please have a pickaxe, seriously, a golden axe, is this some kind of joke?

What am I going to do with this? Cut down a tree until it

explode

s. Luckily, he was one step ahead of the tree tricks. Trees like to make people think that they store all their value in their trunks. like an elephant at a car wash, but the real treasure is in its leafy shell. The leaves not only cause the

trees

to renew themselves with saplings, but they also provide apples and, more importantly, spoofs which sounded like a great place to start with our ingredients list until my plan failed. to my face whoever said money doesn't grow on

trees

has never really needed sticks, I mean I guess I should have seen it coming, but there is another way to get bamboo sticks, this is one of those recipes that Mojing put in ago a time.

I reply that I don't really know the true purpose of, unless your world is full of exploding trees and after cutting down enough to surely drive the remaining panda population to cannibalism or worm eating, it was time to start venture out into the world and not So I spontaneously burn some more chickens for snacks along the way. I think the best thing I can do to overcome this challenge quickly is to find a town. Also, I'm looking forward to climbing this mountain for panoramic views and, although the views were plentiful, exploration. because a nearby town left something to be desired, well I can't see any towns and I also can't increase my render distance or my computer is going to explode, oh jungle temple, frankly these bad boys haven't been updated in almost 10 years, so their cheats are more like routines, but it was here that I was forced to do something I never thought I'd have to do in Minecraft.

Well, I have no choice, which means I can't just walk through the wall. to the treasure, so I actually have to find out what these lovers do, but after a little brute force hacking an iron and gold bounty

made

it worth every minute, I now had two of the three ingredients needed to make it happen. my survival dreams at least now I have sticks and iron so to make tools all we need is a crafting table but if I had a crafting table then the challenge would be over and I don't need to craft tools and weapons oh Oh my god, I'm so good.

Idiot, I swear I get dumber with age, but getting a crafting table was still my key to survival and it was going to come at a price, so what's the price of survival in Minecraft 1.18? Well, if you're wandering in the desert for days. In the end, it's probably thirst, fortunately in Minecraft the only thirst you have to worry about is that of the Pokémon stalls. Seek help, but it was imperative that I not let any distractions get in my way. Oh, look what I found. I was totally looking for a desert. temple, okay, full transparency, I wasn't actually looking for one of these, but it gave me an idea on how to get our crafting table down carefully or not, these chests completely stink as always, but I'm not here for you to just I want the good stuff because if I were to place a piece of TNT next to this overgrown weed and give it a little incentive, the trees would have no choice but to provide me with the supplies to create my beautiful crafting table, so it won't just be that the trees explode and don't drop wood, the blue tables have just been removed completely sick, but it was going to take a lot more than that to break my spirit because I still had a foolproof plan, well, if there is a temple, then there has to be one. people around here to build it well oh there is a village, come on the villages had a couple of resources that I was still missing they had food they had beds and most importantly they had crafting tables oh that's true, it turns out that I managed to wander all over the desert to find myself with the only town that didn't have a craft table, well as my dad always says son, that was disappointing, I mean you're disappointing, he loves me, bye town, I wish you weren't

made

of sand so I could burn you.

Ashes, now was the time to seek more prosperous lands. The only thing standing in my way was an ocean and I didn't have a boat, so I had to swim across it all. Seriously, why didn't I go around the ocean? look at a shipwreck this is actually perfect these things are literally made of boards this victory has been a long time coming trees and you put up a good fight but I'm glad we finally did it so I guess anything of the variety Wood is also of the explosive variety, but thanks to a lifetime of emotionally distancing myself from all living things, I managed to suppress that negativity like a Thanksgiving turkey, so I kept my head up and moved on, all I What I had to do was find another village that would provide me with all my necessary accommodations oh that's sick that's a meadow and as a village at the top I stocked up on food I made some bacon I decided to test how explosive the local real estate market was and the most important, you guessed he didn't find an excuse for the workbench Yo sir, have you seen a workbench?

I'm glad to see it's still useless. Witches never change. I was frustrated to say the least. I wanted to show these trees that I didn't need them and their explosive habits and everything I needed to do. They were some simple tools and luckily, just as I was leaving the village of disappointment, something caught my eye in the ocean, another ruined portal, this time with a pickaxe and shovel, oh look at more golden tools, Yes, the problem is that all these tools are gold. so they won't last long if I use them on the plus side this cave is disgusting please don't look back it's definitely worth it.

I was getting more and more desperate to solve this challenge, but it is the only permanent solution and the only way to survive. This world was about getting a workbench by any means necessary. I will level with you. I don't know why I decided to wander through the snow for the last half hour, but I have a little voice. my head encouraging me to keep going and I'm sure I'll know what I'm looking for when I see it and it was okay, I haven't found an igloo in a long time, but I don't think they are.

The words of an absolute pleb were very useful because this igloo was the home of something that was about to change everything. It had a work table. Oh, I found a suitable one, friends. Our long-awaited work table was staring me right in the face, but something was missing. It's not right, maybe it was the voice in my head or maybe it was just me remembering that I had done this many times before, but something told me to check under this suspicious carpet hmm secret trapdoor what's strange secret staircase what's suspicious dungeon Secret These are two awkward trapped villagers Harry and Larry, the ones in desperate need of a makeover, that's hairy, unfortunately I had left my curlers at home and didn't want to get involved in this Fifty Shades RPG.

I gotta say guys, this gappple looks pretty tasty right now. and this potion of weakness might be useful, but it seems like you need help or I might just leave and never come back. This was the point in any protagonist story where they decide if you want to be the hero or the villain, see you later. Okay, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I gave the Incredible Hulk here a hot shower and fed him a hot plate of gapple for dessert. Well, now we have an even bigger problem since this crafting table already has two owners. Can't. just take it, I could just kill them, no, no, branzie, come on, we're good kids now, but I was still determined to stick it to those trees, so instead of stealing from my new friends, I just borrowed their workbench just temporarily. until I could build. mine and don't worry I even asked for permission hey harry I'm just going to borrow the workbench okay I'll just interpret your silence for as long as you need it even if it might be forever okay cool cool thanks.

Harry, goodbye, and I embarked on a long, lonely road once again, but this time I had a plan. Now that I can create a cube, I can go to the abyss, which is cool because that's where we'll find my last effort. To make our own crafting table, though, I first need to find a lava pool, but the terrains in 1.18 are harsh, unforgiving, and full of literal traps, oh no, my god, ah, what a terrible place this is, On the plus side, I got to breathe something amazing. new generation of terrain on the way and a cozy lava pool wasn't too far away, all I have to do is build one of those quick manhunts, now that the entire floor is obsidian, I have more location options and with a couple of finishing touches.

It was time to embark on my final desperate plan, okay here we go, wait a second, let me turn off that green screen resource pack real quick, don't worry folks, in repeated words, I'm a professional, luckily for me, the object of my desire. conveniently spawned right in front of me no, no, not the fortress, those things are completely useless, I'm talking about it, up there, the crimson stalks, these babies were about to save my mission because there are two very important things about These unique specimens, one of them can be broken down into place, forming a workbench and two, are stems, not trees, so definitely no boom boom time, this might be a bit indirect.

Dare I say a sneaky way to overcome this challenge, but at this point I don't even do it. Do you care, are you kidding me? They almost sent me straight to death. To be honest, it wasn't my own mortality I feared at this moment, but rather, for the first time since I began this journey, I didn't have a plan. I had tried everything I could think of to get a single log or board in this game. I searched for temples, sacked villages, used or even risked my life in another dimension and all I had to show was disappointment.

I gathered my pain and headed out. I return to share my defects with my own dimension. I honestly don't even know what to do right now. I mean, I can't get wood from trees. I can't get it from the villagers' buildings. I can't even get boards. I mean. What I do? I began to wander aimlessly. I was lost and alone. Heck, even the little voice in my head had abandoned me! I don't know how far I walked or really how I got there, but after days of self-exile I found something. towering just above the tree line oh that's a wood built raider outpost that I'll never be able to get at first I thought I'd better avoid it I mean not even the raiders would want anything to do with me after all my failures, but suddenly I remembered something, I have a but I have an idea, I have an idea, I have, I think I know what to do.

Well, my triple broken heart is beating like a dog catcher right now and I've made some questionable fashion decisions, but I knew this was all or nothing, give everything you had or get nothing in return. I fought off the raider forces using the limited tools at my disposal, burst through the front door and ran towards the stairs of their outpost and that's where I found the loot chest. This was the last final shot, my last chance to show these trees once and for all that they do not rule this world. I do, yeah, yeah, oh, I've never been so happy to see wood in my entire life, that's the only euphoria. word to describe what I felt at this moment after so much trial so much error I had found the solution I had my own work table I did it I won and I celebrated with a bang of my own but there was still one more thing I had to take care of before I could rest in my achievements, here you go friends, thanks for lending it to me after bringing back the craft table.

Harry, Larry and I enjoyed our golden days together, it turns out that while I was away, Harry found out. He was a magician and would go on to be a world class magician in Las Vegas and Larry found a quick job making crafting tables for people in need, and I, well, I took some time for myself after all, I have a brand new update to explore not again
