New year's eve it is. I'm glad it isn't raining. I welcome the year 2025. May this be a good year for me. P.S.: I played Minecraft again today with my friends and visited the server owner's base (which is far away). After visiting his base, I went back to my base and investigated an unmarked trail in the nether. It led to a fork; I followed the left one and it took me to a nether fortress. I then backtracked and went to the right one and that was when disaster struck. A ghast appeared and blew me down the trail to fall to my death. What is supposed to be a good new year's eve is now tainted with a bad experience. Luck isn't on my side it seems. P.P.S.: I tried to regain my dignity that is lost to my last death in Minecraft. I grinded for a bit and gained some of my inventory, although without their enchantments. Next, I explored the nether to go to the overworld end portal and got there safely. In the end dimension, I visited the Enderman farm that my friends built. Turns out the farm is very inefficient and unsafe. I then for some reason fell into the void, losing all of my work once again. Maybe that is enough Minecraft for today. Never again will I go to that cursed Enderman farm without proper gear and an Elytra at the very least.
