"Huh? My most essential golden finger—the Minecraft Editor—it hasn't reappeared? Could it be—?" Hao Fang recalled the previous situation and the system's prompts, feeling that another problem might have arisen.
After thinking for a moment, based on his previous experience using it, he tried silently reciting in his mind: "Open the Minecraft Editor."
In the next moment, the original form of the Minecraft Editor reappeared before his eyes, and the brand-new system messages were also refreshed.
[User 'Hao Fang's' character template has been established, and character pixelization is successful! Health and Hunger values have been generated!]
[Item Inventory and Crafting Table import complete, can be summoned with thought.]
[After detection, the Minecraft Editor can be integrated with user 'Hao Fang'. Auto-integration is in progress...]
[Integration complete. The Minecraft Editor has been automatically converted into an icon in 'Hao Fang's' status bar, and manual operation mode has been enabled.]
Hao Fang's heart stirred, and the "Item Inventory" and "Crafting Table" automatically appeared in his vision, along with the heart-shaped "Health" and chicken leg-shaped "Hunger", and finally the "Hotbar", as well as a status bar in the upper right corner with only an icon representing the Minecraft Editor.
"Wait... the Item Inventory and Crafting Table are entirely grayed out and unusable? There isn't even a single slot inside? Even the Health and Hunger values, while slightly better, are still composed of hollow outlines, seemingly empty and devoid of content?" Hao Fang was surprised, knowing that things were indeed not that simple.
He looked again at the status bar in the upper right corner, at the Minecraft Editor that could now be manually operated, instead of everything being automated; this might be the only turning point.
When Hao Fang used his consciousness to click on the Minecraft Editor icon in the upper right corner of the status bar, he finally understood what was going on.
All system functions and modules could be modified here, including the Item Inventory, Crafting Table, Health, and Hunger.
Presumably, after the Minecraft Editor merged with Hao Fang, the artificial intelligence had improved again. In the manual operation interface, each function would automatically display corresponding instructions as long as he concentrated his attention.
Item Inventory: By forcibly injecting the power of space using the editor, or by investing enough space fragments, you can open a portable item inventory with a current limit of 3x9 slots and a hotbar with 9 slots.
Crafting Table: Converting 5 units of item inventory slots can form a crafting table in the shape of 2x2 = 1 slot.
Health: Using items that can replenish health will automatically light up the 10 health slots representing 'False Life'.
Hunger: Using items that can replenish hunger will automatically light up the 10 hunger slots representing 'False Hunger'.
After understanding what was going on, his first consideration was the Item Inventory and Crafting Table.
Hao Fang immediately didn't hesitate, knowing that this would inevitably be a case of draining the pond to catch all the fish, yet he still ordered the editor to further extract the power of space from the only Minecraft map world, in order to form the Item Inventory and Crafting Table.
In an instant, the situation changed, and everything was altered.
The Item Inventory and Crafting Table appeared instantly.
And when he completed the standard portable item inventory and quick item bar, as well as the equally standard crafting table, Minecraft naturally shrank by another whole circle.
Judging from the current situation, Minecraft was now only about the size of a basketball court.
Heaven knows how to restore it in the future, but hopefully, the current sacrifice is worth it.
Of course... Hao Fang glanced silently at the crafting table again, and now this thing was actually empty, which meant that nothing could be crafted.
Moreover, besides the Item Inventory, Crafting Table, Health, and Hunger, the equally important equipment slots and experience points were also not activated, so it seemed that there were still many things to do.
"Leaving aside everything else, let's get the Health and Hunger values sorted out first," Hao Fang thought to himself.
Regarding this aspect, he already had a rough guess and idea.
So, Hao Fang immediately found his chair, sat directly at the desk that had been brought over from the last world, and took out the red magic stone on the spot, placing it on the table.
In fact, the magic stone had always been on him.
Initially, it was absorbed into the Minecraft Editor and converted into a special state of pixelated virtual information flow, then merged with him into one.
And when the item inventory was completed, it was automatically restored and transferred over.
It can be said that the magic stone should have actually completed pixelization as well.
Or rather, as long as something was added to the corresponding template by Minecraft and subjected to its transformation, it should become like this.
No matter what kind of magic stone it was, it should not affect its function.
Then, now is the time to unleash its greatest effect.
Hao Fang immediately took out a cup, then took out a bottle of mineral water, filled most of the cup with water, and directly threw the magic stone into it.
"This should work, right?" Hao Fang muttered to himself uncertainly.
Soon, the magic stone emitted red light particles in the water, and the water in the cup seemed to have changed.
Soon after, the magic stone stopped glowing, and the elixir of life was probably completed.
Hao Fang didn't hesitate any longer and drank the cup of water in one gulp.
In the next moment, he only felt that his body was full of vitality, and he suddenly became much more energetic.
Then, the change information of "Health" and "Hunger" automatically popped up in his vision.
Originally just hollow outlines, they now began to become vivid.
"Health" and "Hunger" were instantly full.
Hao Fang's heart stirred, and he directly took a knife and slashed his left arm.
It could be seen that there was no injury under the knife, as if it had never been cut by the knife at all.
However, the "Health" displayed in the field of vision dropped by one heart.
"So that's how it is, this is the so-called false life. I'm clearly injured, but I don't feel any pain at all, and the surface is unharmed... it's because the false life as 'Health' has taken the real damage for me. Then, false hunger should also be the same thing, and it should be equivalent to a spatial stomach, so as to achieve hunger resistance." Hao Fang had completely determined the true function of "Health" and "Hunger".
It seems that this is another great benefit after his body was pixelated.
Of course, Minecraft also has a 'bleeding' mod. However, if this kind of thing is really used, it will at most only be used to cover up the abnormality of his body and will not exert the effect of real damage.
And considering it further, even 'resurrection' may be possible in the future.
As long as he can get the method of making Horcruxes, maybe the 'respawn point' function can be activated.
However, compared to these, there is currently a more important thing that needs attention.
