Also, we may want to take a few days to check and see that we have visited and uploaded all "important areas" with 1.6.4 before making the transition to 1.7.2.



On a somewhat different note:
It finally happened yesterday and I had my first really "bad day at the office" on MineCraft.

I went into the Nether to mine some Quarz at a nether road that BSmith had recently shown me. It was my first real mining run in the nether and I was very happy to have a good yield in Quarz and a few handful of Glowstone dust, too. Eventually I decided to call it a day and make my way back home. A Ghast appearing in the distance helped that decision, but did not really worry me. Happily I ran along, back the path that I knew - or at least thought I knew.

Suddenly I turnd a wrong corner and the next thing I see is myself diving into a lava lake. I had known it was there, but just had not considered that I would so easily fall into it. The walls were steep and before I could really think again, the respawn button was my only option.

It would not have been so bad about the quarz, but I had worn some quite expensive armour. Most of all, my iron chestplate. That was a piece of garnment I have gotten really attached to. It was old and stitched, but it had been my first ever chestplate I made on this server. Made at a time when iron was extremely precious to me and spending 8 ingots on it had been a real decision. Also the enchantments had been made at a time before I discovered XP farms. So the magic in it had been really hard manual work.

Once I realized my loss, I felt absolutely gutted. I had wanted to keep the old piece as a memorabila and give it a special place at my house when it was eventually time to retire.

Oh, well, I guess something like this has happened to most of you, too.
It is not the material loss. I have enough iron now to make 10 chestplates; and with better enchantments, too. So I should not complain. I guess it is just another interesting side of this game and certainly a lesson to teach me not to get overconfident. I shall know how to take better care next time.
