it's a quiet day in the dead of summer. sprinklers click and whine outside your window, dark curtains drawn to block the scorching sun from gracing your bedroom.

you've been inside all day, tower fan ghosting over your hunched form as you play computer games. your friend had gifted you a copy of Minecraft for your birthday, along with some tutorials for how to mod the game. it's been pretty fun, but after you completed the dragon fight, everything else the game had to offer felt trivial.

scrolling through modpage after modpage, nothing seems to strike you as worth downloading. there mustt be SOMETHING here that could quench your thirst for adventure...

> take a peek at the forum. maybe they have some recommendations?
> message your friend and ask for suggestions. they've been playing for years, after all. > leave the game as is. you've never done this before, and you don't want to break anything...

spawn in world, wander around the plains for a while before finding pink sheep, quiet awe and wonder before you realise it means youre in minecraft, test out the basics of gameplay and get kitted for early game, find village and trade some wood for bread, talk to cartographer/blacksmith/butcher, carto asks you to help map a way to a desert village (desert temple) blacksmith tells you about bandits in the area (dark oak mansion) butcher asks you to catch some fish for him (ocean monument), 2 questions branch2, (where to go, how to solve situation []) get to structure, 3 questions branch3, (how to get in, which area to explore [monster treasure or trap], how to get out)
