- Explored the new 1.18 Mountains zone on The Citadel, with a huge, dripstone cave and a lush cave that’s nearly as big, all surrounding a pretty sweet cluster of mountain peaks and valleys.
- Began construction on the quarters for the captain of the guard, which faces the parade square and will adjust the design of the north curtain wall in Westhill.

Dear Joel and Pix,
I was recently listening to episode 174 when you discussed using a wither to obtain large amounts of deepslate and i think i have a suggestion that might work a little better, a tunnel bore.
Given that the blast resistance of stone and deepslate is 6 the tunnel bore would work just as well 64 layers down although you may encounter more large pools of liquid in 1.18. Ilmango has a great design that i have used for over a thousand blocks and I think docM has used the design in a Hermitcraft Season 7 episode.
I often use the tunnel bore to procrastinate on other things in Minecraft.
Thanks,
Will blew up due to a tunnel bore malfunction.
Thank you to our Patrons!
