Started a new world, spawned in an absolutely gorgeous valley. Found a shelf near the base of a tall mountain, I'm going to excavate and make it into a Bag End-esque abode. I'll need a ton of picks. Stone is in good supply during the excavation, however wood is going to be difficult to come by in this biome. I shall have to live off what I can find or travel to adjacent forest biomes and have at the trees with an axe or two. I'll start in the morning.
The valley has a spring starting near the top of a mountain and cascading all the way down to the bottom, where happy pigs and chickens frolic among the flowers.
When I get the chance, I'll bomb this area and turn it into a quarry. That'll teach those little pink forgeters to frolic in my valley.
