Tutorials/Nomadic experience

A Nomadic Experience is generally only for ex-stream players. There are rules and styles. The basic rules are Keep moving, Keep game on hard mode, only build shelters for 1 night, dont stay in one area for more then a night. There are styles that specifies where you can go and where you stay to even how you survive and move.

Nomad Shelters
Nomadic shelters can range anywhere from absolute simplicity, to an easily deployable craft station. In principle, Nomadic shelters should be easy to make, and acessible almost anywhere on the various maps of Minecraft. Below are a list of Shelters that are organized by complexity.

"Instant Shelter"

Instant shelters are the absolute basic, and while they keep you safe, you lack many luxuries and abilities.

An instant shelter is a hole in the ground. This is exactly what it sounds like. All you need is to dig a hole according to the schematics below.

X = surrounding materials

E = Empty space (your hole)

O = The exit ( A word of advice: Make this out of gravity resistant blocks, otherwise you will have dug your own coffin.)

"Basic Hut"

It's just what it sounds like. It's a ground level structure that can be a bit bigger than the "Instant Shelter". This structure does not need a diagram because it is basically just a box. What you have in it depends on what style you are playing to.

"Mountainside Hut"

Again, like the name implies, this is built on a mountainside for maximum protection. If your "bridge" to it is one block wide, mobs will have no chance of getting to you. However, mountains and cliffs are somewhat uncommon.

Tree"house"

This might be one of the most efficient, and safest, ways of making a one-night shelter. All you do is go up in a tree and barricade yourself with any material. This works especially well with larger trees (the ones with branches). Note that spiders may be able to get up the smaller trees. Also, a plus-side to this shelter is that you have a natural way to see outside.

Advantages
This nomadic style of play lets you see and explore the world with only a few tools and items; stripping Minecraft down to the basics. It also will give a higher chance of you finding different biomes, most likely the snowy biome.

Disadvantages
As you could probably tell, the save files for the world will be HUGE. If you choose to use a mapping program, it will most certainly take quite a long time to load the simulated map of the entire strip of the world.
