Minecraft: Galaxy Odyssey part 1

I launch the long-awaited renovated Galaxy Odyssey world, where my friends and I can build and explore and journey! But it's quite tough to scrape by, so I need to prepare for the first night without any hesitation.

I settle on a grass plot and lay an outline for a home, build beginner tools, and start a farm. But food is scarce, and my situation gets dire...

Daniel and Sarah join in! I show Daniel the ropes, and we work out a plan to build a metal smeltery; meanwhile, Sarah dances with a skeleton and flops about in a river.

It's time to gather the raw materials for a smeltery. Sarah knows where we can find some, and invites us over to her forest house!

Gathering grout ingredients is a bit of a chore. Daniel and Sarah and I wade around in the swamp.

Daniel learns how to build tools, and we go toil down by the pond. Sarah's on track to build a smeltery.

We set off to retrieve the cashew tree, and return ready to excavate a space for the smeltery!

Beth joins in and helps us make the house more comfy. We talk about spooky stories. We don't TELL any spooky stories, mind you.

We continue renovations on the house. I love my slots, Daniel is good at wood, and Beth sticks her bare hands into the hot, steamy furnace. Naughty.

I finally complete the smeltery! I mean, Sarah beat us to it long ago but shut up! We have a smeltery!

It's time to cast metal tools! No wait... we're missing a critical ingredient.

It's all starting to come together! We now have access to metal tools—a world of minerals has just opened up!

Now that we have a shelter, a smeltery, and some decent tools, we can start next phase of our development: technology! I build some toys to aid us on our way to a machine shop.

Despite some unwanted visitors, I finally make my traveler's belt and a new weapon to aid in expeditions!

I build myself a belt, respirator, and set of armor to help me survive underground! But wait... what's that sound up on the rooftop?

I struck gold AND pyrolusite AND oil in one trip! Never mind the spontaneous combustion.

I begin the very basics of archaeological analysis, and get a pretty snazzy hat out of it.

Ladies ;)

I finally find osmium and build the infuser! Rather than power the machine straight away, I organize the ingot collection, negotiate with bullies on my lawn, and prepare myself for extended mining!

I've finally run into minerals I can't collect, so I build a new pick. This of course does little to help me fend off mutant birds and creepers.

I make a new friend... sort of? I also make a couple acquaintances underground, who let me take a dip in their lake.

I build an alloying machine to take some of the load off of the smeltery. But then I get highly confused about what tools to make and how to make them, so I go out to get more lava. I also get a couple surprises.

I build colorful tools and gaudy armor, and get assaulted by rainbow of rascals. Additionally, I decide it's time to domesticate sheep.

I build additional machines to help us sort ourselves out. Later, I build my first redstone-piston construction ever (seriously) and then finally tame Jenny (the chocobo) and ride her! Whew, what a productive day.

I return to the snowy hills to wrangle some cows. Jenny gets lost during the commotion, and I discover a few surprises in the jungle...
