Call of the Naughty

So I was climbing out of that cave I fell into when I heard a wolf howl.

Wolfy seemed really anxious, so I went outside. One run in with Wolfy's bad-tempered kin later, I went in and--GASP!! WOLFY!!

NO! BAD WOLFY! YOU ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED IN THE HOUSE!

Another cave of mystery!

Well I was mining around when suddenly,I fell into another cave.

 I was looking around and saw...what is that?

I wasn't sure what that was, but before I could explore, I needed a way back to the surface.

One burst of ingenuity later:

And then I could explore the cave. I found:

 An abandoned mineshaft. This could use some further exploration....

Rubber farming!

Guess what? THE RUBBER TREE SAPLING FINALLY GREW!!

 Now I can finally tell you how to get rubber from these. You hit the yellow spots(right-click) with the treetap, which makes them drop

You then cook it in the furnace to get rubber.

It's that simple. And there are also machines you can make(in the Technic Mod pack) that let you get more rubber from the Sticky Resin and rubber from the wood of the tree and those huge trees we saw before. 

But we'll get there when we get there.

THERE'S A SPIDER ON MY CEILING!!

It died.

Mining time!

Now that Wolfy's incident of naughtiness is over, how about some MINING?
I went back to the cave that I fell into , and proceeded to liberate it of it's treasure like I promised. Some notable(and unfortunately, Technic Mod Pack exclusive) goodies:

 These are SAPPHIRES!! They're like diamonds, only slightly weaker, and they come in pretty colors(they also come in ruby and emerald). They are good for making tools early on because they're EVERYWHERE(relatively).

This is Marble. It has no purpose besides being pretty. I am going to build something cool out of this.

Let's see...21 coal, 28 copper ore, 6 sapphires, 19 iron ore and 63 marble.
Everything considered, a very good haul. Now the only reason I have to come back here is to maybe get more marble(I might need more of that).

Down the Mining hole

So I was digging a tunnel underneath my Minecraft house when suddenly, I fell into a cave!

 I was flipping out, but after lighting up the place, I quickly found the exit. This would require human ingenuity.

One quick crafting session later...

 Ingenuity will get you out of many situations. Especially in Minecraft. I'll be back, cave. YOUR LOOT WILL BE MINE!

Wolfy earns a treat

So I was minding my own business, workin' in my wheat farm when suddenly, a zombie appeared and started attacking me! But then, Wolfy showed up and ate the zombie!

 And then, I loved Wolfy so much, I was going to give him a treat! Yes I was! YES I WAS!

And then I let him in my house.

The way he's eyeing up my farm, I know I am going to regret this in the end. BUT I WUV HIM SO MUCH-sigh...
