In 2015 I was living in Colorado for a few months with only a Macbook. Minecraft was one of the few games I could play on it. And so I did.
I also wanted to stop making new worlds every time I started playing Minecraft again so I named this one “Final World”. Spoiler: it didn’t work.
I started with the now-widely-standard progression in Minecraft including a beacon for haste II. Around this time you could finally make Nether portals in different sizes. With that, a gold farm design emerged in the community. I built one for myself and often left the game running while I slept to collect all of those juicy gold nuggets that equated to five minutes of mining for no work at all. Delicious.
I also started to build an actual base for once. While my progression was notably better than some of my other worlds, I still could not envision it well enough to actually complete it. You could easily read deeply into this.
