Today's screenshot is some more Minecraft Xbox 360 edition. Using my new nether portal i finally got to make last time i took a trip to the nether, i went and gathered some glowstone for my tunnel i built to light it up to help cut back on torches and light it up a little more.

The trip was fairly easy. There was a nether fortress right next to the portal that i could quickly tunnel over too to rummage around in. I used that to get close to a glowstone deposit.

I ended up finding one outcrop fairly close to the Portal just up a few floors after i had to escape from some Blazes and Ghast's firing on me like it was a Battle FIeld. It gave me a little over a stack of glowstone which was more than enough for my tunnel.

On the way back i found the spawner that the blazes were coming from. I went ahead and lit it up to stop them from spawning for now. My hopes are too get some Blaze Rods to get to the end soon, i'll need to gear up for it though because Blaze's have always been a bit of a challenge for me. Maybe it's time i pick up potion brewing and make a potion of fire resistance.

After that excursion i made my way home, which luckily turned out to be easy to find. I was worried i'd lose the portal but the Nether Fortress turned out to be easy to navigate. I went home and made the glowstone blocks and installed them all before stopping for the night. Next time i want to see about getting the Blaze Rods or maybe hunting some Endermen.

i've always been bad at keeping a specific order lol. Usually it's whatever order it gets in my hotbar in and it stays there

Disagree. Weapons first. Torch always in off hand if possible. Then pickaxe, Axe, Shovel. And who carries a hoe unless actively farming?
