Two years...

This Sunday (June 23rd) will mark two years since I've purchased Minecraft (Roughly a week or two before Beta 1.7).

I'm trying to think of what I could do to mark that occasion... I do not have my first world anymore, mainly since that computer has since died...

Hmm...

I'll figure something out, but I'm open to suggestions.

New Concepts

First off, special thanks to @Anistuffs for helping me hammer out the storyline for my map.

And now back to the irregularly scheduled update...

The original idea was to use the classical elements as a framework, something to draw inspiration from for equipment, mobs, and areas. (For example, I had the idea to have equipment that didn't quite work right based on elements, boots with respiration for example. "You can breathe through your feet!")

But looking on this page on the classical elements, which led to this page on ancient Chinese elements, I thought, "Hey, perhaps I could use these instead of the typical trope! That'd be unique, right?"

It provides a framework for the areas that the player will go through, and since Chinese elements describe processes instead of pieces of a whole, it will be like the player is going through a journey through the realm of my map.

Element	Season	Area
Wood	Spring	Forest
Fire	Summer	Desert
Earth		Mountains
Metal	Fall	Village
Water	Winter	Swamp
???	???	???

Just a thought as I actually start building this thing...
