Ark’s Magical Modded Minecraft Misadventure 28 : The Diamond Hunt

It’s time. I have been held up on my investigation of awesome things by my lack of a few pieces of crystalline carbon. So I get tooled up, and head down into the depths in search of a Minecrafter’s best friend.

Not the most illuminating or exciting episode, I’ll admit. Finding diamonds is a lot like eating your cabbage before being allowed pudding. I promise you that the next episode will involve a great deal of pudding, with custard.

Mods Encountered

Forestry by Sir Sengir : I’ve gotten most of my honey combs centrifuged now, leaving me with a great big pile of wax, but more importantly, a lot of honey drops for fuelling my beealyzer.

Farlanders : The masked Enderman I encountered was a Rebel Farlander. I’ve had problems with these chaps before, off camera, as they’re quite fond of murdering villagers and stealing their homes. I expect them to be quite a nuisance when I found my village.

Ars Magica by Mithion : Since I raised my wizard level, I’m running into a lot more Ars Magica creatures. I don’t think I’ve encountered a dark mage while recording yet, but they’re out there, and quite troublesome!

It was odd how many arcane creepers were raining down from the area on on the left of the ravine. That makes me wonder if there might be something of interest up there.

    Just a small black out when you went into the cavern off the main stairs. I loved the ending of that video, though. That was so cute. Pablo kissed you and wagged his tail when you got home! Nawww. I want a Pablo :) I want one of those fortune picks as well lol. That turned a small vein into a major horde of diamonds. Very impressed.

    Aww yea, pudding time!

  • The video didn’t render right the first time, for some unknown reason. It should be OK now.

    14 diamonds from 6 diamond blocks. It was a very good diamond vein to begin with. They ought to last me quite a while. I’ve used two so far while recording tomorrow’s episode, which, as you might expect, involves many bees.

    MapleBacon, I love that the monster gravatar that’s automatically generated for you actually looks like a tree made of bacon.
