Yeah, I’m still playing Minecraft. I’ve built and discarded several worlds, because I’ve just lost interest in them. Or, you know, I died. You “respawn” back at your original spawning point when you die, but you lose your stuff, which is BO-RING.
ANYWAY, I think I’ll play this one for a while. It’s a jungle biome, which means I might find an ocelot to tame into a cat. Yay!
But, cat or not, guess what I found? Well, I already telegraphed the surprise in the post title, so, yeah, PARROTS! Not dead ones, either!
I fed them melon seed and tamed them.
So then I could hear them whistling and squawking, “Hello!”, but I couldn’t see them. So I looked at my character.
Yup. One on each shoulder! I’m wearing iron armor. That’s so I can survive if I fall into lava long enough to scramble out and cool off. I’m holding melon seed, in case the parrots get — ha ha — peckish.
And, because it’s Minecraft, naturally there’s a cow in a tree.
And, because it’s parrots, this.
A WRITING PROMPT BASED ON MY POST: Write about a bird or birds. Or a cow. Or a tree.

May 21, 2018 at 8:27amIt’s been forever since I played Minecraft, you have made me think that maybe I should load it back up and have a go again! I think I played it so much that I ended up ruining it for myself!
I used to love all the mods you could get, I remember playing the Tekkit mod for hours and hours!
Marian Allen
May 21, 2018 at 9:27amI don’t use any mods — not techy enough to understand how to load them lol! I generally lay off it for a month or so, then I get excited when I fire it up again. 🙂

May 21, 2018 at 9:41amHaha! Sounds like me with every game I’ve ever played! Sometimes I’ll be in bed thinking about a game that I haven’t played in ages and then the next day I’ll have to play it or I won’t be able to stop thinking about it! 😛

May 21, 2018 at 9:48amOh, Lord, don’t get me started on Tetris! You go to sleep seeing falling blocks and wake up seeing falling blocks! My fingers probably twitched in my sleep! Had to QUIT that game TOTALLY.

January 24, 2018 at 7:15pmOMG LOL! Reading that reminds me of playing Animal Crossing, and how odd it sounds out of context. “When ya just wanna pick some peaches and you find a genie bottle, but you can’t pick it up before the tarantula bites you!”

January 25, 2018 at 7:57amI never played Animal Crossing, but that DOES sound like Minecraft logic. Like, two of my grandsons were talking about Minecraft and one of them was complaining that he was trapped in the nether and couldn’t get out because he couldn’t find the portal and didn’t have what he needed to make another one (I think). The other one said, “Why don’t you kill yourself?” And I was like, “Wait — What? Oh, yeah, great idea!” Because, if you die in Minecraft, you respawn at your original spawning point OR at your bed. Then he could get what he needed to make any number of portals and go back to retrieve his inventory. Game logic. Gotta love it!

January 24, 2018 at 10:25amSadly, I’ve slain three of them by accident. They tend to sit RIGHT IN THE WAY and I don’t know how to move them so I can do whatever I’m doing. I try to move them, but anything I touch them with kills them. I slew a sheep accidentally, too, because I tried to move it off my chest — my storage chest, not my lungs chest. It was just up there twirling around and around and around. I waited a day and a night and part of another day (Minecraft time) for it to get off, but it didn’t. So I tried to move it, and it keeled over DEAD. Maybe I shouldn’t have used a diamond pickax to prod it. Maybe a stick would have been a better choice.

(I know absolutely NOTHING about Minecraft. NO! Don’t teach me. I don’t need to know.)
Enjoy your diversion.

January 23, 2018 at 8:58amNo, Roy, you don’t need to know. 😀 “Diversion” is a good word for it. Or “escape.” Or “vacation.” Mom used to get a kick out of my Minecraft stories. I would go in to give her her morning meds and food, and I would say, “So I was playing Minecraft…,” and she would start chuckling. Now, when I’ve done as much as I can stand of disconnecting her phone and transferring her utilities and tracking down her death certificate copies, I run away to Minecraft for a while and tame parrots. 🙂
