Notes and Information:
Fishing is in:
Uncooked Fish - 1 Heart
Cooked Fish - 2 Hearts
Cast line, wait for bobber to drop, right click again to reel in. Be careful, may fly over your head. Cast nearby. Can hit animals and reel them in (effectively throwing them back towards you). I've snagged cows
No idea if you can catch bigger fish using these as "bait" or not.
There appears to be even more mobs prowling around. My difficulty is still set to Normal, but I'm getting swarmed out on the over world by 5-7 mobs at a time!
Now let's talk about The Slip, or The Nether or Hell or whatever it's called... The name has changed a few times
First Impressions: Oh my God... THE NOISE! It's a plane of torment by every definition! Sounds of horrible creatures and pain are all around you. It's constant! The sounds, if given a moment or two of listening, seem to be a mixture of animal and human sounds tweaked this way and that. Some are backtracks, others are screams, some are just.... creepy...
Ghasts appear to be fireproof, but NOT Lava-proof... I've seen several get killed by the falling lava flows down below. The Slip seems to my eye to be a harsh, cruel world ruled with unyielding authority by the Ghasts and the pig-zombie things are suffering souls.
The pig-zombies are EVERYWHERE, but get roasted right and left by the Ghasts trying to kill me or by walking into fire and lava. They do drop 2 chunks of meat when they die. This meat cannot be cooked but it can be eaten for at least 4 hearts. Usually, the meat falls into the fires that killed them, so it may not always be seen.
DO NOT KILL THE PIG ZOMBIES! After you make a kill, EVERY pig zombie in there is out to get you now. They are fast and they are deadly. DO NOT ATTACK THEM! When Notch said that he had made the most unfair monster even worse a few blog posts ago, I'm starting to think he may not have meant the Ghasts
I'm seriously starting to consider starting a new world just to be able to take three steps in The Slip without getting utterly obliterated by these guys!
I have found 3 ores, the bloody dirt that's everywhere is the first, there's a brown greasy like block that slows you down when you walk on it and there's the glowing nodules clinging to the ceiling of The Slip, these break like glass and drop a fluorescent greenish chunk like gunpowder. I've only seen one drop per block broken, and more or less everything breaks down pretty easily by hand, no tools required. Though it seems you'll need a tool to get Bloody Dirt in hand.
Advice: BRING BOWLS AND WOOD to the Slip with you, the place seems to be heavily seeded with both types of Mushrooms and if you can get bowls of soup going, you can survive longer.
Grease Blocks cannot be Smelted into anything, so far as I can tell.
This is all I have to report for now, I'm having too much fun to add more right now
