Minecraft: Ultrahardcore!

I'm probably late to the game on this. No doubt you folks are already done with it but I'm just getting around to Ultra Hardcore Minecraft.

As someone who is primarily a builder in Minecraft it was getting static for me. Find something new. Build it. Repeat. Sometimes I would have a flash of creative brilliance or challenge myself with stuff like 5x5 compact apartment builds. At the end of the day, though, the only thing I really worried about was griefers on the Westworld servers (http://www.westworldmc.com/).

So I'm checking recommends on YouTube and it points me to an UHC video. Alright. I've got to give this a try, I think. So I did. Intense.

You wouldn't think it is - but having 90 minutes to survive and build yourself up against 44 other people (sometimes in teams) - is quite the mental sprint. You've got to get the right things, a little bit lucky, and oh yeah - skellies are going to kill you.

Right now I'm picking up a match or two each week through the reddit ultrahardcore group.

There are instructions for joining, hosting, etc. Even a match calendar that lets you know what's coming up next with a number of variations on a theme.

The next match is on in 10 minutes. Time to focus on enchanting!
