Minecraft: This doesn't feel like easy lol

My favorite way of dispatching of everything but creepers is to wait behind a wall. swing your sword and wait behind a wall. when they get close enough youll hittem!

creepers.... its all just luck. You should go make a farm so you can make bread so if a creeper comes up, you have full health.

Thats on my list to do... But I wanna build my tower first. I got a ton of wood and I'm surrounded by sand and trees, So building things is becomming rather easy. But minning is a pain.. I'm also near water and Theres not much open ground... So I have to find a way to get rid of the water... Also, can't go minning with out food, tools and armor and that takes a while to collect. I was lucky anaugh to find massive iron ore deposits in and around my base...

Actually, scratch that, Il just go and make a farm... but now I need to figure out how to do that with out the animals and monsters stopping on it, and being able to get to it all the time.

I think Il post a pic of my base and get a better layout.
