Expedition Gone Wrong

Yo Momojin here. A lightning struck and my internet connection is down once again. It's like a routine thing now, since my ISP, TMnet, has not been able to provide a solution to this problem. They only do temporary solutions. So I got bored and thought I continue my solo survival in Minecraft on offline mode.

It was day when I spawned back in the Minecraft world and thought gathering stuff outside would be a great idea during the day. Here's a neat little trick to help you which I discovered. Instead of slaying the pigs with the swords you created, go ahead and light 'em up on fire! Watch the video if you are lazy to read. Here's how:
1) Create Flint & Steel, aka Lighter. It is made using the workbench. Place a flint in the left slot and a piece of steel in the bottom slot. Both the items will be located diagonally to each other. Viola! A lighter!
2) Right click the ground around the pigs and watch as the catch fire! They will burn to death once they are on fire, so there is no need to re-light them.
3) Enjoy the squealing sounds of agony while you wait for them to die. Pretend to be a pyromaniac! However, do not go starting fires without caution of trees catching fire. If a tree of a forest catches fire, be prepared for the fire to spread and cause massive amounts of lag! Guaranteed! By the way, the reason why the pigs keep burning when they catch on fire is that the pigs' fat becomes the fuel of the fire. Pigs' have a lot of fatty oil and it feeds the fire, in addition to of course oxygen. I am just blabbering. Hahaha...
4) Hey! what's that they dropped? It's charred! Yes, while they are burning in pain, their succulent meat is being cooked at the same time! You get instant cooked porkchops! No need for the hassle of shoving them in the furnace. Convenience and efficiency, I like.

This great tip works great in Survival Single-Player and Survival Multi-Player.



Additionally, I went to explore around the lava lake I bumped into.
