Unlike normal Minecraft, This VRMincraft is primarily an all-server game, the most sought-after item in this full-server system is, of course, potions!
In Minecraft, many potions are only useful later in the game, so players usually don't bother stockpiling them early on.
But with this game now operating on a full-server basis, potions "especially functional ones" are incredibly valuable.
Among these, instant healing potions are in high demand.
Currently, players can only recover health gradually by filling their satiety bar. But in dangerous situations, waiting for health to regenerate isn't practical. Instant healing potions have become essential for survival in the later stages.
To craft large quantities of potions, a considerable amount of nether warts and blaze powder are needed. Therefore, Xu Yuan kept the Blaze's Spawner Cage intact and planned to build a Flame Tower on this basis to harvest Blaze rods.
After sealing the Blaze's Monster Cage, Xu Yuan continued exploring the Hell Fortress with Ken and his team. Along the way, they encountered a few wither skeletons, and Xu Yuan directly instructed Awang to get the first kill.
Soon, another full-server system announcement sounded, and the players' reactions had become numb from familiarity.
Everyone already knew that Xu Yuan was exploring a new map. Awang handed all the gold coins and land deeds he obtained to Xu Yuan.
The exploration of the Nether Fortress was soon complete.
They gathered plenty of Soul Sand and Nether Warts, and even rummaged through three chests. However, the loot was not particularly rich! just four diamonds, some iron ingots, gold ingots, and a saddle.
Xu Yuan didn't find these items especially valuable, but for Ken and his group, they were treasures.
"This is a huge gain! finding a nether fortress" Ken said appreciatively.
Xu Yuan smiled at this. It truly was a significant find.
But he also remembered that the last time he discovered a nether fortress, the resources inside had been abundant! given freely by the game.
That's why players love exploring temples, ruins, and dungeons! they often contain unexpected treasures. Xu Yuan suggested to Ken and his team, "There are many other places to explore! desert temples, underwater temples(Ocean Monument), and more. When you go back, try to explore those too."
Xu Yuan himself didn't have much time to explore these areas at the moment, but he could let Ken and his team take the lead.
After all, in the future, he planned to develop the land into the main city of the game. Once the main city was established, there would naturally be maps and regions to explore.
It was perfect for them to explore and help map out the territory.
Ken and his group were immediately interested when they heard. If exploring ruins and temples yielded as many rewards as the nether fortress, they would be thrilled!
After thoroughly exploring the Nether Fortress, Xu Yuan and Ken's team returned to the land. Although many monsters still lurked in nether! and some had not yet been defeated for the first kill!
Xu Yuan wasn't in a rush. No one yet knew how to access nether, so there was no urgency.
The priority now was to breed villagers.
With villagers, they could establish trade, automate farms, and set up iron-farming machines. These would ensure a steady supply of resources.
The most critical project, however, was the Zombie Piglin Farming Tower! a true money making machine for Xu Yuan.
Once Ken and his team returned, they looked at Xu Yuan, waiting for his instructions. Xu Yuan knew he'd need to switch the villagers in to start the breeding process, but he couldn't rely on Ken or others for that.
He thought for a moment and said,
"Go to the mine. It's safe with an iron chestplate bring plenty of torches, some food in the chest, and you have permission to go. Take what you need."
He granted Ken full access! trusting him not to steal his supplies. Xu Yuan's generous move reflected his trust in Ken and Yue'er.
Ken looked at the storage chests in shock. Xu Yuan's resources were truly abundant! if shared, other players would probably envy him to death.
After rummaging through the crates, Ken took only some rotten flesh to fill his hunger. Then, the team headed out to mine.
Meanwhile, Xu Yuan focused on crafting potions! specifically, weakness potions and golden apples! to convert zombie villagers. Just as he finished brewing the weakness potion, he received a friend request notification.
On his friend list, "Little Fattty" had just sent a friend request! but at this moment, Little Fat didn't know that the player "Steve" was actually Xu Yuan.
Seeing this new friend request, Little Fatty was immediately excited. "Steve added me as a friend?!" he thought in disbelief.
