My dad introduced me to Minecraft in 2012/13 and we used to play together every other afternoon in our small world. At some point, he lost interest and didn’t touch Minecraft for years.

One afternoon in the beginning of May, we were chatting in the hot tub and I managed to make a deal with him to play for 30 minutes every May 17th (Minecraft’s anniversary) and he agreed.

We started this world in 2022. He played in ‘22 and ‘23 but we forgot about this in ‘24 and ‘25, so he owed me an hour and a half yesterday. Last time in 2023, he found diamonds but ended the day after dying in lava and losing everything. This year, he found 4 diamonds and got back home safe.
