bits, japanese forest village in Minetest

 

Not much, studying Finnish on both platforms, working at clearing a large area for a village in the Japanese forest in Minetest, which is difficult, as the trees are so close together and it is slow going to clear all the bits to make the leaves fall.  The one nice feature of the Japanese forest is that the leaves are good for fuel - and you get stacks and stacks of the leaves when you try to clear it out.  I've been burning the bricks and clay and making bread with the full stacks of leaves and not had to use much coal or wood for that.  Another nice feature is there is plenty of sashimi and racine to cook and eat that you naturally pick up along the way.

Plus, this is another of those long narrow islands, and leveling enough for several houses is a second challenge. It is in the other picture,  behind me here the land goes UP, and there are several deposits of interesting minerals but I will have to climb for them.  And behind the travertine brick house is a very deep deep cave, which I spent a good amount of time in pulling out that travertine and a few other minerals, lots of clay, and the blue granite which is the first I have ever found in this world.

 

 I had found grey granite, black granite, green granite, white granite and red granite but had only seen the blue in the resources guide.  
 

 

It is my birthday in a few days, although I have to work at the post office that day.

reminder : they opened up a new bookstore/cafe in town, but I am not sure when I could ever get to it.. at least they are open until 5 pm, so there is a chance. 

from here the land goes UP.  I've been to that little spot on the right there that is tallest, and there are three different minerals right there at the peak.  I came back down to empty my inventory and will have to go back up and get them - jade, serpentine and blue limestone.  There is also some sodalite down by the shore there that I didn't get a chance to mine out yet as it is beneath a layer of grey granite.
