Once the shelter was finished, Steve sat in bed and thought for a moment about the strange events of the past few days. In particular, Fristad's strange magical activity made him begin to wonder about another source of magic: Deodate's crystals.
He conjured an ender chest from the depths of his pocket, placed it before him, reached inside, and pulled out the crystals.
The crystals were all different colors, yellow and teal for instance, and were all roughly the same size. Aside from their bright glow, there was nothing particularly remarkable about their appearance.
Steve wondered briefly if the crystals could be used in some crafting recipe, but dismissed the idea. These crystals are too valuable; I shouldn't use them without a good reason, he thought.
Since the crystals were no longer of immediate use to him, he placed them back inside the ender chest and recovered the chest with his silk touch pickaxe. He then placed both the chest and pick into his pocket, and laid into his bed for the night.
