Greetings.
I am a man in a suit who has fallen into the world of Minecraft.
In the previous episode, I searched for the End portal so I could reach The End.
The stronghold was already large, and because it was mixed with a mineshaft, the structure felt like a maze.
Even after finding the End portal, I had not explored the entire stronghold.
There should be treasure.
There should be a library.
So this time, I continued exploring the stronghold.
Exploring More of the Stronghold
I finally found the End portal in the previous episode.
I had checked all the connected corridors and still could not find it, so I ended up breaking through a wall to reach the portal room.
Because the mineshaft cut through the stronghold, I still did not understand its full layout.
When I broke through the ceiling near a staircase and looked inside, I realized the stronghold continued much farther.
There might be treasure chests and a library after all.
So I kept exploring.
### Revealing the Stronghold’s Full Shape
The stronghold floors were dim and wide, with multiple levels.
The part I first entered was only a small section.
I found several things I had not seen during the first search.
Apparently, strongholds can have fountains too.
There was also a place that looked like a jail, lined with iron bars.
It has quite a gloomy atmosphere.
After exploring for a while, I found the treasure chest I was hoping for.
The contents were not especially amazing, but finding a treasure chest always feels good.
### Finding Stronghold Libraries and Gathering Bookshelves
Next, I searched for something other than treasure chests: the library.
I had been disappointed because there was no library near the first entrance.
But this stronghold did have one.
What a relief.
In fact, there were two libraries.
They were two-story structures lined with a huge number of bookshelves.
The wonderful thing about this library is that I can collect many bookshelves.
Books are useful for all sorts of things.
To collect bookshelves as bookshelf blocks, I need an axe with Silk Touch.
Without Silk Touch, breaking a bookshelf gives books instead.
There were not only bookshelves, but also treasure chests.
I always look forward to checking the contents.
As expected from a library, the chest was mostly paper and books.
The exciting part is the enchanted book.
I always enjoy checking what kind it is.
The second floor also had bookshelves and another treasure chest.
I collected all the bookshelves and chests and brought everything home.
Here is the result after clearing out both libraries.
I brought back more than seven stacks of bookshelves and six enchanted books.
That is a very nice haul.
The library looks a little lonely after the bookshelves are gone.
I plan to use the bookshelves and books for room decoration and enchanted book trades.
Underground exploring continues in Season 3 too.
Recently, I even found diamond ore deep inside a mineshaft, with rails, wooden supports, and a cave spider spawner making the whole trip rather tense.
In Season 3, I explored a mineshaft, found a minecart chest, cave spiders, and diamond.
That is all for this time.
Greetings.
