Greetings.
I am a man in a suit who has fallen into the world of Minecraft.
After exploring every corner of the huge mineshaft, I had collected more than four large chests of items.
The problem was how to move all of that loot from the temporary mineshaft base back to my main village.
The plan I came up with was to use an Ender Chest and a donkey.
I struggled to find a donkey, but I eventually brought one back to the village, then bred it with a horse to create a mule.
Now the preparations are complete.
With great confidence, I headed back to the mineshaft to collect the pile of loot.
Finally Putting the Useful Mule to Work
This is the mule I created last time.
It was born from the rare donkey I worked so hard to find and the fastest horse in the OjiCra world.
This is the mule’s first day on the job.
For the moment, I had it wait at the entrance of the cave that leads down to the mineshaft.
I will fill that chest soon enough.
Using the Extremely Convenient Ender Chest
The other thing I prepared was an Ender Chest.
The contents of Ender Chests are linked together, making them a wonderfully useful item, almost like a four-dimensional pocket.
To make an Ender Chest, I first need an Eye of Ender.
An Eye of Ender can be made with an Ender Pearl and Blaze Powder.
Then, by combining one Eye of Ender with eight pieces of obsidian, the Ender Chest is complete.
I placed one at the base.
And I took another one with me.
By the way, if I break a placed Ender Chest normally, it turns back into obsidian as an item.
To pick it up as an Ender Chest, I need to break it with a Silk Touch pickaxe.
At this point, I also noticed that I could get a few pieces of obsidian while doing this.
If I placed and broke the Ender Chest repeatedly, the amount of obsidian seemed to increase.
Is that a bug, I wonder.
I placed the Ender Chest inside the temporary base in the mineshaft and started moving items into it until it was full.
Turning Ores into Blocks, Then Loading the Ender Chest and Mule
When I checked the chests at the temporary mineshaft base again, the amount of loot was impressive.
There were more than four large chests of items.
Even with the mule and Ender Chest, I might still need several trips if I carried everything as-is.
So first, I compressed ores into blocks to reduce the inventory space they used.
After turning the ores into blocks, I moved items into the Ender Chest.
There were so many minecarts that the chest contents did not seem to shrink very quickly.
I also loaded items into the mule’s chest.
Even then, everything did not fit, so in the end I made two trips.
It took time, but the reason it took time is that I had collected so many items.
That is a happy problem.
Now it is time to say goodbye to the mineshaft where I stayed for so long.
This was my first mineshaft in OjiCra, and it was much larger than I expected.
It was exciting, surprising, and a lot of fun.
That is all for this time.
Greetings.
