Deaths are too easy to come by in Minecraft for how annoyingly difficult food is to make.

Cake is very complicated, as is mushroom stew (never made it TBH), but bread is ideal IMO. 

I keep hearing people badmouth bread since porkchops heal 4 when cooked, but I disagree.  If people explore mostly above ground, obviously you'll probably run across as many pigs as you could possibly want.  But for those of us who mainly explore underground (caves), prokchops are -- while very useful -- far too rare to use exclusively:  they run out too fast, because pigs are pretty much never to be found deep underground. 

Wheat, however, CAN be grown underground (given sufficient light sources), so it's ideal for prolonged explorations.  And even if your field is at ground level, you can reap your field much faster than going out and finding 6-12 pigs. 

Moreover, wheat is stackable, meaning that for non-emergency healing it is extremely efficient for inventory space versus healing potential, assuming you have a craft box (which you pretty much have to have anyway).  I keep porkchops for emergency healing. 

Sorry for that huge rant, but I see people undervaluing bread pretty severely in the Minecraft wiki IMO, and I don't want to make a user account just for that, so I had to vent.

Fuck lava. 

The worst part is I was almost ready to pack up and head for the surface.

OH DAMN. I did a LOT of work yesterday too.

 

For the future, just in case stuff like this happens again, are you able to use MC Edit on the game? Because it'd be really nice to be able to export all that work I did, then import it back, so I wouldn't have to do it all over again. I feel like my entire Saturday - literally, the whole day - was wasted, because I spent most of it doing that.

I used the op commands to recover most of what JamminR and I lost yesterday. I also gave the both of us a couple... bonuses... to make up for all the lost time and effort. I hope you don't mind. I'm not planning on abusing the power; just frustrated that I lost so much work, y'know?

I'm going to see how many of these I can do, okay?
