Want to be human, but cube-like

That is, the sun of this world.

"What..."

A familiar voice made Alex pause in her movements.

A white sheep was spawned on the grass not far behind her.

Alex glanced at the minimap.

"This is a forest ecosystem."

Even on floating islands, there are biomes, which determine what kind of animals will spawn in the current area and what kind of flowers will grow when bone meal is used.

In forest communities, common animals such as pigs, cattle, sheep, and chickens can be easily obtained.

In short, let's collect all the resources on the sky island first, and then re-plan the usage areas.

She cut down the two trees that she had only chopped off the bottom half of in order to deal with the Endermen. While waiting for the saplings to fall, she crafted a wooden axe and a wooden pickaxe. She also dismantled the two useless wooden houses next to her, and harvested a number of logs, planks and stone blocks.

During this time, she also casually planted the fallen saplings on the soil. These saplings will be her starting resources for the next period of time.

"Then, let me see how many layers of soil are beneath this floating island."

As she spoke, she began digging at the soil beneath her feet with her bare hands.

After knocking away three layers of soil, Alex fell into the one-block-wide pit and saw the rocks inside. She cut out a wooden pickaxe and continued digging.

She wasn't worried about her safety at all, since it was a survival mode where she wouldn't fall if she died anyway.

1,2……11，12……

As Alex silently counted in her mind, after digging down more than ten blocks, she was about to marvel at how big this floating island was when suddenly her feet slipped.

"Whoa-!"

A long, adorable cry came from the pit and echoed throughout the entire sky island.

"Meh...?"

A white sheep that was munching on grass nearby looked up in confusion and glanced around.

PS: The content on Minecraft won't be extensive. It will only cover stages, highlighting the current progress and explaining why you're stuck at a certain point. It won't describe the entire development process in detail, since the theme isn't skyblock survival. The skyblock's purpose is simply to run the burger shop and perhaps provide some fun interactions later on.

Volume 1: Chapter 15 How to Obtain Villagers?

If falling indefinitely, will it continuously accelerate until it exceeds the speed of light?

If someone were to ask Alex this question, she could now give them a very clear answer.

Not will.

She thought that after falling onto the sky island, she would fall directly into the void, die, and be resurrected in her bedroom.

But Alex didn't expect that this world couldn't fall out of the void at all. As long as she fell to a height of -99 blocks, she would be replaced by the same coordinate position at a height of 300 blocks above.

And coincidentally, this location is the coordinate where Alex dug through the Sky Island.

Previously, even in the air, Alex's mother could change her landing point by slowly adjusting her position.

But since she took this form, Alex has discovered that without a foothold, she is completely unable to move her position in mid-air.

Therefore, Alex, unable to change her landing point, could only repeat the process of falling over and over again.

Until she suddenly remembered that she had other ways to move.

She drew her sword and, just before falling back into the pit she had dug on the sky island, slashed through the air.

From about fifty per second

The falling speed of the meter instantly slowed down to a complete standstill in mid-air.

"Clap."

Less than two seconds later, she landed back on the ground.

"That was so exciting..."

Slightly unsteady on her feet, Alex swayed back and forth, feeling a sense of security as she stood firmly on the ground.

"This floating island has quite a lot of resources..."

She lay prone in front of the hole she had dug, poked her little head out, and glanced down.

The experience of falling just now was not without its benefits; Alex was able to see clearly that the area below the sky island was a rocky, uneven structure.

It looks like hills turned upside down.

She just happened to dig into the deeper section.

The next step is simple: dig down to find the deepest block of stone, build a step next to it, set up a ladder for going up and down, and then use that as the starting point to build another layer of ground under the sky island using wooden planks. This will prevent the loss of these currently non-renewable resources when collecting stones from under the sky island because you didn't catch the falling objects.

While waiting for the saplings to grow, Alex cleared out most of the things on the floating island's grassland, leaving only the two-story building marked "Tavern" (whose purpose was unknown) and the small pavilion with the counter.

The two layers of soil beneath the grass were also dug out and repaved on the edge of the top layer to expand the grassland area of ​​the sky island.

After this series of operations, the entire sky island was completely transformed into a thin two-story building.

The upper layer was grass only one block thick. The original circular ground with a radius of more than twenty blocks had been expanded by her into a square lawn with a length and width of about seventy or eighty blocks.

The lower layer consists of wooden planks of the same thickness forming a square area on the ground. Due to a shortage of materials, the diameter is currently only about forty blocks long.

A pillar stands between the two levels of ground, with a ladder extending more than twenty blocks down from the upper level to connect to the ground of the lower level.

Because the light is blocked by the upper level, many monsters have spawned on the lower level, but Alex has ignored them.

"What should we do next?"

She casually sat on the counter in the small pavilion, stretched out her long legs, stepped on a cow that walked by with her small feet, pushed its head aside, and opened the task book to think.

During the time the sky island was being repaired, many animals gradually spawned on the upper grassland, including pigs, cows, sheep, and chickens. Alex even saw two foxes.

Now the burger shop has no shortage of ingredients.

"Oh, right!"

Glancing at the cow that had been pushed aside by her foot and was now looking at her innocently, Alex seemed to remember something. She jumped off the counter, pulled out two sticks and two planks, and slammed them onto the workbench.

Carrying a wooden hoe and wheat seeds, he ran towards the waterway in the planting area.

Alex almost forgot about the important matter of farming.

Wheat is needed for the reproduction of cattle, sheep, and chickens.

"The location of this water is so uncomfortable..."

Then, looking at the infinite water that she had filled to three blocks long, Alex muttered a complaint.

She now needs a bucket, both to transfer the unlimited water and to make the farmland planning in the planting area more aesthetically pleasing.

I almost forgot, I also need to fill a whole bucket with milk and give it to Toyokawa Shoko to drink.

Alex remembered that Xiangzi had a debuff called "Witch's Kiss".

I don't know if milk can dispel that buff, but I'll have to try it anyway.

Then we need to figure out how to get three iron ingots first.

If mining is not an option, killing zombies is the only way to obtain iron ingots in the early game.

"A mob farm..."

She muttered to herself, walked to the stairs leading to the lower level, and glanced down.

A huge horde of monsters has already spawned below, consisting of zombies, skeletons, creepers, and spiders. Occasionally, you can also see a few Endermen flickering around.

It seems that this world doesn't have those strange mods installed; the monsters are just the most common and ordinary types.

"We want a villager who is a weapons craftsman..."

Alex thought about the minerals that the weaponsmith could trade, as written in the quest log, and felt a little envious.

With a weaponsmith, there will be no shortage of resources.

However, to obtain villagers on the Sky Island, you first need to wait for monsters with gold equipment to spawn. After killing them, you can collect the dropped gold equipment and craft it into gold ingots. Once you have eight gold ingots, you can combine them with apples, a byproduct of oak trees, to create a golden apple. Then, you can wait for a zombie villager and a witch to spawn...

and many more……

She paused, startled, as she thought about this.

The monsters in this world will not act hostilely towards players. This means that the witch will not be able to inflict a weakness buff on zombie villagers by throwing weakness potions at her. Therefore, the golden apple cannot heal a weakened zombie villager and turn it back into a normal villager.

There was no way to get the villagers' information.

Not only will subsequent resources be difficult to obtain, but she will also be unable to acquire most ingredients, thus blocking her tech tree.

"Weakness potion... Do you have the ingredients to brew it?"

She patted the workbench, and the crafting interface popped up. Staring at the nine empty slots, she fell into thought. Glancing casually to the side, she tapped the green recipe book icon with her scallion finger.

In fact, this is not very useful, since it is just a recipe book attached to the crafting interface, which can only show the crafting recipes of the items she has acquired.

But then, the pop-up interface startled her.

"Item Manager?"

…………

P.S. Because I didn't want the Skypiea content to overshadow the main theme, I impulsively banned the rewards from the quest book from the start, and then found that many subsequent things got stuck and I couldn't proceed.

The most affected item was actually the katana. When we decided to add it, we were worried that its power level might be too high. Simply crafting the katana would take up a lot of space, which would overshadow the main character. But it turns out that we were completely overthinking it.

After banning the quest reward, I got stuck at the very beginning of the crafting recipe for the Draw Sword because I couldn't get lava and some materials that couldn't be obtained on Skypiea. Even after adding all the compatible attachments I could find in Minecraft Mod, I still couldn't craft the Nameless Sword before unlocking the Priest's Blaze Powder.

In short, what I'm trying to say is that I wrote the story this way because I confirmed that it would indeed cause players to get stuck. Even if you play this mod yourself and disable the quest book, you'll still get stuck in the same way I described.

Similarly, the methods described later in the book can be used to resolve the progress bottleneck.

Volume 1: Chapter 16 What kind of light novel is this?

"Item Manager? No, wait..."

What appeared before Alex was a huge interface that listed all the things she had ever done.

She could only view the items she had acquired, nothing more; she couldn't directly view items she hadn't yet obtained.

Try clicking on any icon for the Soul Shard. A secondary interface pops up, displaying all the crafting recipes for Soul Shards, a total of six pages. Alex even saw crafting recipes for several katana swords at the end.

This is not the function that a recipe book was originally supposed to have.

It's undoubtedly the recipe display function in the Item Manager module.

However, Alex looked around and couldn't find a search bar. It seemed that this interface didn't allow her to directly search for the recipe she wanted to see; she could only jump to it through existing items.

She quickly exited the recipe interface for the Soul Shards, thought for a moment, clicked into the secondary interface for gravel, and then jumped to the crushing column of the mechanical power module, entering the sand recipe from the gravel crushing recipe.

Jump to the Furnace column, from the Sand Smelting recipe to the Glass recipe, jump back to the Crafting column, find the Glass Bottle recipe, then jump to the Interaction column, enter the Water Bottle recipe, and finally jump to the Brewing column to finally find the Weakness Potion recipe.

However, she discovered that she couldn't meet the material requirements for the Weakness Potion.

Not only is Blaze Powder required, but also Fermented Spider Eyes. Since it's impossible to enter the Nether, even if you can get Blaze Powder from villagers, you have to buy Smoke Bamboo from a priest, plant it, and then process it to obtain it. The brown mushrooms needed to synthesize Fermented Spider Eyes can only be purchased from farmers.

Not to mention, as a work block to unlock the priest profession, the brewing stand's crafting recipe is different from before. It requires a currency and a higher-level burger shop business license, which are items that can only be obtained in later chapters according to the quest book.

Isn't there any other way to acquire villagers?

She became a little troubled, so she reopened the task book and searched through it, and indeed found the description of the village section.

To acquire villagers in this world, you need to use a tool called a blueprint. You need to operate inside the tavern building to activate the tavern's function, allowing adventurers to randomly spawn in this world and be chosen by Alex to convert them into trade villagers.

The blueprint is obtained as a reward for viewing this description.

But clearly, Alex couldn't produce it.

With her little cheeks puffed out, Alex poked the blue blueprint icon on the quest reward page with her finger, looking a little annoyed.

Can this thing be synthesized?

With that in mind, she reopened the recipe book.

Generally speaking, items like books and blueprints should be related to books or paper, right?
