MINECRAFT Exploration & Tactics S5E36 – Thoughts on privacy?

In episode thirty-six, I start setting up the Nether fortress for Wither-skeleton farming, and talk about privacy, tecnhnology, and government, and invite some discussion about privacy.

Minecraft Exploration & Tactics is a “Let’s Play” series where I, Brian, focus on exploring and strategy.

This season, I’m playing a new world in “ultrahardcore” (UHC) mode, specifically:
– hard difficulty
– no health regeneration from a full stomach (/gamerule naturalRegeneration false)
– no regeneration potions from ghast tears
– no branch mining
– no villager trading
– no using F3 for coordinates
– no beds for sleeping
This will make the game very challenging, and furthermore, each time I die, I will make a donation of $111 to Child’s Play charity via kurtjmac’s “Far Lands or Bust”.

There is a “complete the monument” (CTM) at spawn, where I must eventually gather
– all 12 music discs (records)
– blocks of each ore (coal, iron, lapis, gold, redstone, diamond, emerald, quartz)
– a chiseled stone brick (circle stone from a jungle temple)
– a mycelium block (from a mushroom biome)
– the dragon egg (from defeating the Enderdragon)
– a beacon (after defeating the Wither)
in order to complete the challenge.
