Daybreak, I opened up my hole and saw many zombies burning up, and I also saw an ENDERMAN… creeping up on it, I hacked it to death with my sword. I found an ender pearl. Yay!
After that, I went to chop down more trees and went into the cave again, I saw another one in the distance but decided not to go there yet. I started to go mining. My first problem was to get down, which I managed to achieve by digging down. I then made another stone pick as mine had already broke. I found some more copper and mined it. I also found some tin and iron. I only had managed to get down to y level 42 before my cave became a dead end, but I already had found 23 tin ore, 62 copper ore, 47 iron ore and almost 2 stacks of coal, that is, 128 those two stacks.
When I finally got up to the surface, I decided to start to make some things happen. I visited the other cave and returned to my home with more iron, tin, copper, coal. I also returned with nikolite, redstone, silver, uranium, lead, ferrous, gold, and gems, but not diamond…
I quickly made more furnaces and started to smelt my items. I also got some more wood, about 23 logs, and 52 clay. I had found flint and gravel too. I broke some grass blocks and found myself some flax seeds, which I grew into flax plants. I also lit up the area near my cave so no monsters would spawn and made 2 buckets for an infinite water source, made another crafting table and 5 chests to store my items, besides collecting 1 and a half stacks of sand. I checked back on my cave to see if the ores had smelted.
Finally, after a tiring day, I went back to my cave and sealed it up. I started to build some items. First, I smelted 3 cobblestone and 17 glass. I crafted 4 gold bars into 36 golden nuggets. Made 4 pistons, and crafted 6 wooden gears with 4 sticks each, made them into cobblestone gears, with 4 cobblestone each, and finally, gold-plated gears, with 4 gold nuggets each. I then took my 6 gold-plated gears, and placed them in a crafting table with the pistons, glass and gold nuggets to make 3 hobbyist's steam engines then, I made using 1 chest, a crafting table, 3 stone and 4 planks to make my project table. I used the other crafting table to make myself a pocket crafting table with a stick.
Next, I used 4 redstone and 2 gold to make myself 2 redstone reception coils. I used 12 iron, 3 gold and 12 glass to make 3 machine frames. I used 2 iron, 1 redstone and 2 glass to make a pneumatic servo. I made 2 bricks. I then started to craft. I used the 2 bricks, 1 machine frame, 1 redstone reception coil, 1 redstone and 2 copper to make myself a powered furnace. Next, I used another machine frame, 1 redstone reception coil a piston, 2 copper and 2 flint to make a pulverizer. Finally, I used 2 tin, 2 glass, a redstone reception coil, a machine frame and a pneumatic servo to make my aqueous accumulator. Then I made myself a bed using string to make wool as my flax plants had grown and slept through the night.
The next day, I collected 3 red flowers and made them into red dye. I also made some golden power pipes using 2 gold, 1 glass and 5 redstone. I made some wooden power pipes using 2 planks, 1 glass and 3 redstone. I made a simple power network with my machines. I also made a minium stone, from equivalent exchange 3, to make my dye into cactus green, and set up my water system. I made 3 levers and a crescent hammer too. Now I was much more ready for my adventure in feed the beast!
