Hardcore Survival Timeline

The survival chronology of Attempt 001, kept in world-days. This timeline has one job: to keep getting longer. Every entry below was survived, which is the only reason it could be written.

Day	Event
Day 1	Spawn in the river valley. Shelter dug into the valley wall, door placed before dark. Doctrine holds: no bed hunt, no iron sprint, nothing clever.
Day 3	First wheat farm running on river water. Shelter upgraded from "hole" to "hole with a furnace."
Day 8	First iron. Shield crafted the same hour and has not left the off-hand since. Standing rule established.
Day 12	Valley base walled and lit to the waterline. First creeper inside the perimeter; also the last, after the lighting audit that followed.
Day 19	First diamonds, from a cautious branch mine at depth. Three held in reserve, by policy, against pickaxe loss.
Day 26	The ravine breakthrough. Mining tunnel opened into open air; fall, skeleton, water bucket, half-heart. The closest call of the attempt. Full record pending review.
Day 27	A full day spent inside the walls, farming and not dying. Logged without apology.
Day 29	Nether portal frame completed at the base's edge. Not lit.
Day 31	Current date. Iron armor complete, diamond kit in progress, attempt alive. The timeline continues, which is the entire goal.

If this table ever stops growing, its final entry will be written up in the death records, in full. Until then: day count rising, door closed at dusk, shield up.
