I Survived Minecraft's Outer Space Server

The player starts on a Minecraft server that simulates an outer space civilization, equipped with custom spaceships and planets, and a week before a major intergalactic war. The initial goal is to explore 18 planets to unlock bigger ships. Early exploration leads to accidental crashes and distractions, such as discovering valuable blocks like Chatherite and diamonds on asteroids and planets. The player learns Chatherite is used in the ship’s hyperdrive for fast travel. A slime planet with slime trees is encountered, yielding raw uranium, but the lack of basic crafting materials like cobblestone and wood for a furnace makes it useless. The player then heads to Arok, a planet in a different solar system, to join a nation called Nova, which helps new players prepare for war. To reach Nova, the player must travel 50,000 blocks. This journey involves using jump gates to travel between solar systems, but the player runs out of Chatherite and must resort to slower travel. During this slower journey, the player discovers a shipwreck. By salvaging parts from the shipwreck, the player learns to craft weapons, specifically a gun made from a furnace and a stair, and discovers that computer-like parts are crucial for ship functionality. The player also learns to build advanced thrusters, significantly increasing ship speed. Encountering a pirate ship, the player, despite being advised against it due to their ship's lack of power, manages to trap and destroy it by surrounding it with blocks when it gets stuck on an asteroid. However, the pirate ship retaliates, damaging the player's ship and destroying its hyperdrive. The player repairs the hyperdrive by trial and error, swapping out technological-looking blocks until it functions again, and then escapes to a planet with life. The player then visits the main city of Allesium, observing their technology and ships. Nova offers a new mining shuttle, but the player decides to reverse-engineer its mining laser and transfer it to their existing ship, "Wax and Feathers." This involves removing furniture and adding titanium and emerald blocks. To power the laser, the player taps into a nearby generator, effectively stealing energy. After
