// Day 43 (Light)
//-----------------------------





Ever since I entered this place my sense of time has left me... not to say I had much of a sense of time before entering here. What I mean is, is that out there I just couldn’t tell day from night because it was always night, but in here I’m not sure if it’s been a minute or an hour. 



So with that in mind, every time something of interest happens I will dub it as a new day... that seems logical right journal?



This place... the Nether, is definitely an interesting and peculiar place though. After looking around the area I woke up at I determined this place isn’t as scary as I first assumed it would be heck caves in the surface world are scarier. 



The monsters here... the ones I’ve seen so far (hideous pig creatures with their flesh rotting and falling off, they walk on their hind feet and carry golden swords) haven’t attacked me yet. In fact one of the pig things walked right up to me and stared at me for the longest time the small was awful, just as bad as the shed. And I was very confused of what to do. It finally left and I continued exploring. 



I came across some kind of chandelier of light, I had seen them before them from the entrance, but they were too high up; however, this one was closer to the ground. My original intention was to use the glowing stone as a better source of light then the netherrack, unfortunately all I got when I broke one was some yellow dust. I checked the Lore:



Glowstone Dust
Obtained when mining a block of Glowstone

After looking up that I searched for Glowstone

Glowstone
Found on the roof of the Nether. Drops four Glowstone Dust. Used in Aether Portals.



Aether Portal, so there’s another world? So far that’s three I know of; the main world or as the lore was called The Surface, The Nether, and apparently this Aether place. How many worlds are there?



As I mined more of the Glowstone, I learned that the pig things weren’t the only inhabitants. Out of nowhere a giant ball of fire exploded in front of me causing me to fall off the small block tower I was standing on. I turned around to see a giant ghost... yeah a ghost! It floated down through the ceiling; at first its face looked so sad I even saw tears then its face contorted. Its eyes and mouth opened revealing another enormous rock being set on fire, it released a high-pitched scream (much like that of a newborn foal) then it launched the molten rock directly at me.



I quickly grabbed as much Glowstone Dust as I could and ran for my life.



When I reached safety I searched the Lore for ghost and found nothing... I did however find something called a Ghast Tear and a Ghast (which is what the ghost is really called apparently).



Ghast Tear
Dropped from ghasts. Used in brewing potions, they will turn an Awkward Potion into a Potion of Regeneration, or a bottle of water into a Mundane Potion.

Ghast
Giant jellyfish like mobs that produce and launch fireballs at targets. Highly dangerous, avoid if possible. Exception to this is only when obtaining their tears or gunpowder for potions.



Two things came to mind; 
1)	I hate this place
2)	I love this place (I need a Ghast Tear)
