Went to my gold farm to add knockback to my sword. Ended up mining a shulker box of quartz. Enough for 110 blocks. 8 slabs for every block. Trading is definitely faster.

Finished my rewatch of How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World yesterday. Got the trilogy in 4k despite having only seen the sequels once.
Classic Disney villain death in this one.
Current ranking: 2 > 1 > 3.
Apparently, Drago was planned to return.

![During the earlier stages of production, DeBlois stated that Djimon Hounsou would also return as Drago Bludvist.[18] It was even planned to have Drago redeemed by the film's end, but halfway through development, DreamWorks co-founder Steven Spielberg convinced DeBlois that the story of Drago's redemption required more screen time that they could not provide, causing his inclusion to be scrapped.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zh7ekh6dxif5jz3cvk5zpamr/bafkreifqhzkdxb5pfd65b7zosyvirvrpzz467vk27cob3vyojwgsvjqpnm@jpeg)

Finished ReDawn by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson. Novella 2 of Skyward Flight.
Main thought: this is relevant.
Hoping to finish the series by the end of the year.

It might be best not to equip Chlorophyte armor while in the Underworld. I was purifying the underground desert. First time I summoned the WoF by accident.

Finished listening to the Collapsing Empire by John Scalzi.
I went looking for something with the premise of the collapse of a FTL system. This seemed the best choice.

Built my arena (not for Moon Lord) on top of the Dungeon. So the Vortex pillar (I think) spawned there too.
Solar pillar ended up in a Hellevator in the jungle.

Beat Moon Lord for the first time on the first attempt. Classic Mode.
Got unlucky and managed to miss the Ancient Manipulator. So no Vortex Beater or Phantasm. Also forgot to switch to holy arrows until his health was half gone.

The Tsunami took 3 successful fights. Got the Bubble Gun the first 2 times. 20 attempts total, I think. Also reforged to Unreal first try.

First successful Duke Fishron fight. This was attempt #13 if I remember correctly. The UFO mount was the biggest change, freeing 2 accessory slots. Plus the nurse and Dryad.
I think it was after this fight I switched to Chlorophyte armor and bullets.

So, I forgot to seal the Dungeon entrance post-Golem. And ended up with the Lunatic Cultist summoned in the middle of Martian Madness.
