I moved the world over to my desktop gaming machine, since it was already over a gig and my tiny C: drive needs the space.  I added the Dimensions dim last night, and it was full of minecarts.  Also, lava, guardians, sponges and flower pots.  Strange world.  But it was fun trying to wrangle all those carts into some central stack of chest.  I already have 3 chests full of just minecarts, and can take the items I want back through the portal with me.

I thought I could run rails out to the rows of misaligned carts and push them onto tracks, but the individual carts are so inefficiently stocked, it's better to put one empty cart on rails in an area, then break all carts around it, fill the main cart and push it onto a powered rail back to storage.  Storage was a circle of 8 rails over a circle of 8 hoppers into some double chests.  The lag was bad over there, but I didn't think of changing the render distance or turning off particles until I was almost done.

I had also envisioned bringing a water bucket and getting water from the guardian pool to turn the lava lakes to obsidian, but you can't place water in this world.

Try some new dimensions:

"77" = tiny platform in sky, some dirt sky islands about 50 blocks away

"Star of India" = layers of redstone blocks, jungle wood, glazed terracotta, snow blocks; phantoms

"H.M.S. Surprise" = empty end world with water lakes

"gravity" = terracotta islands, lots of mobs

"money" (as seen on reddit): gold ore, nether quartz ore, looks nice until the dragon shows up

"flat broke" = polished basalt & all colors of concrete powder, lakes of lave with lakes of water inside, no mobs seen, minimal lag but nothing to do

"July 15" = I had a few seconds to figure out what the bright blue solid color was: terracotta, then the wither started booming

"111" = soul soil ground, distracting particle poofs, legions of phantoms, leave

"no time left to play" - end stone with lave pools, all tinted red with red fog, no mobs spotted, but yuck

"112" = tiny platform over endless ocean

"113" = rugged cyan terracotta and snow blocks = useless

"114" = tiny island of brightly tinted walls = useless

"115" = mountains of nether bricks, end stone, cobwebs, no mobs up close, but bottom layers are an ocean swarming with guardians

"116" = tiny platform over void, brightly tinted dirt islands = useless

"117" = gray concrete, chiseled sandstone, no mobs spotted but also useless

"118" = dark oak logs, withers - get out

"119" = pumpkin log islands, annoying scratchy sounds

"120" = hyphae, zillion of potted plants, annoying sound

"121" = sky islands, walls of coal ore, lots of basic mobs

"122" = floating islands of end stone & dirt, boring

"who knows?" = eyesore dayglow forest dozens of skeletons

"who knows" = gravel ,birch logs, super laggy

"?" = diorite caves, eyesore colors on surface, didn't stop to see mobs

"??" = bright yellow end stone with water lakes, empty

"???" = green birch logs, chiseled bricks at level 72, above end ship fleet, looks like an ocean below.  popping sounds, no major mobs seen.

"????" = coral blocks that start dying right away, walls, junk

"?????" = clutter of glass rods, end portals, can't tell what most of the other blocks are, odd tint

"??????" = nether quartz & gray terracotta islands over lava sea

"ladybug" = green/blue/purple forest, hard to look at

"dragonfly" = portal spawned in an end ship, and 3 wither boss bars appeared

I'm not feeling great, just stressed, glucose is high, BP is high, need sleep.  I'm just here to grab some minecarts before bed.

I put two double chests under the double chest being fed by the rails & hoppers, then about 12 chests for a "Wall of Mine Carts", two for torches, two for food, two for tools, all while being divebombed by annoying phantoms.

A pretty mellow night.

We had a fun day: 4 hours of volunteering at a kitten adoption charity at PetSmart.  Very little foot traffic, and out of the 40-or-so people who stopped to look, we got one orange kitty adopted out and three maybes.  One of my best poet friends, who I have known for 20+ years and have done many appearances and workshops with, died last night.  So the kitten helped with the shock.

I'm still stressed, still have glucose in the 220-320 range all the time, BP is probably high.  

But we do have a 3-day weekend coming up.

Back to the randomness ...

"Java update available" = pumpkin mycelium islands over lava ocean, no mobs or life, useless

"nothing to see here" = islands of spruce planks, jumble of sandstone & terracotta, lava sea with water lakes, nothing to see here

"clutterbug" = off-tint world of stairsm dirt and nether quartz ore; constant sound of dragon wings flapping but never a boss bar.  A few dragon roars, but I never saw the guy.   Scary xp farm.

"snug" = pyramids of stairs over ground of dried kelp blocks, scattered mossy stone brick walls and buried nether gates.  no mobs yet.  Oh crap: we're at y=4, and under the one layer of kelp blocks is void.  Meh.  After roaming a bit I had to use spectator mode to find the portal through the maze of stairs.  Another dud.

"snuggle" = cliff of emerald ore and orange glazed terracotta over soul soil, with end ships coming out of the walls. Portal at -166 71 -44.  Solid emerald ore up to 96, then I dug through the tail end of a ship with the two chests right there inside the wall.  More emerald ore up to 120y where I hit soul soil and bedrock.  Down at 37y there's about 10-block gap over an ocean filled with guardians, with clouds sliding by right below me.  Not sure there's a way to get down there.  Yes, there are some walls and pillars that reach the sea.  Below there at 24-28y there is soul soil and quartz slabs.  Interesting world.

After that, I went back to Dimensions and grabbed another 20-25 mine carts.  I was mostly looking for decent enchanted books, now that I have Mending on half my netherite armor and most of my tools and want it on the rest.  I should probably sleep at least once in this game, to stop the endless phantoms bouncing off my head while I work.

Just some brain-dead tinkering before bed...

I hopped to dimension "scottvee".  My sign said "safe" but there were some blazes around.  Also quartz pillars, diorite, mushroom blocks and all  that lapis ore.  Portal at -172 64 -48.  Underground is solid lapis ore with rooms of mushroom blocks floors and a few stripped birch logs, with blazes, witches, and vindicators or illusionists.  What the heck?  Desert temple at -133 69 195.  Sacked.  Another one at -182 74 858.

Yikes, I was mining some different blocks over in "wat", and it turns out all those stone bricks under the white glass are infested.

"Escondido" ice spikes, portal at -167 69 -45

"PHP" - debugdim said there were 4 biomes.  Found one at 1034 74 80: islets of prismarine & pumkpins, purpur & fences, annoying sounds.  Another big view of that crazy biome at -2001 63 153; same with podzol & mossy cobble platforms down over the ocean.  Saw abandoned mines that did have a few chests.
