Lost Again? Not Today — Building a Minecraft Navigation System (Day 3)

Day 3 of the Dad Challenge!
Today, this 50-year-old dad takes on Minecraft with one mission in mind:
Stop getting lost.

In this episode, I build my first navigation marker system, escape a few too-close-for-comfort nighttime encounters, track down new resources, and continue the hunt for a future best friend… the dog I still can’t seem to find!

Along the way, I share a fun bit of history (Napoleonic semaphore towers), survive a near-death moment, light up the base, and keep pushing forward on my challenge:
Get 100,000 subscribers in 365 days — only playing Minecraft one hour a day.

Thanks for watching, and let me know:
How should I upgrade the navigation markers? Any tips for finding dogs faster in Minecraft?
