    Thought he was smart. i've been playing Minecraft and it's been two days since i started playing, you see i tried my best to create a good home as a starting point for a huge castle i was planning. however there was a fatal design choice that ended up nearly costing me my items and putting my home as a danger zone for a while.  before i explain let's look at my piss poor design choice corrected: 

    No Caption Provided

    My original home design was that yellow = door with no torches being placed outside,the wall with the red line didn't exist. i was in my merry way digging up the mountain on the second floor when i noticed that i was about to run out of torches and Pickaxes so i thought that i would go down stairs to start working on my bench (It's the brown table you see on the far left in the image.
     
     this was at night so when i got down i heard a arrow being shot which ended up landing on my character, i had no clue where it came from so i hid myself and just peeked my head just enough for him to shoot again when i finally saw where the arrow got shot from, see that pink paint in the yellow door sketch in the image? a skeletion was standing there like a turret being able to shoot me from nearly every angle in the room.
     
    I had to think of a away to trap the skeletion alive so i remembered a tomb that acted like a trap in front of my door away, however it's outside and the door being watched over by the skeleton like a fucking nazi. i luckly had some rock blocks with me so i started planting them as a barrier between me and the door, the plan basically was to go in the same direction that the blue line is going in (starting from the right of the image ofc.) to a hidden door away that i sealed in case if something like this happened. 
     

    No Caption Provided

    See the two green lines? that's the hidden door away that i used. this was AFTER i fixed the door by changing the design a bit and placing torches, before there was a huge hole where the two lines are in front of the door way that acted as a way to trap creatures for kicks, this skeleton somehow made his way through it without falling and started camping right at my door. thankfully my brain started working pretty fast as to how to correctly trap the creature without getting myself killed.

    This is from the side hole near the green line (second entrance), i started digging under the red line and my plan was to make my way to my trap, seal it and place torches inside of it and THEN going under my door and digging under it so i can pull down the skeletion to where i was. the plan went smoothly and the skeletion came crashing down and tried to shoot me a couple of times. i built around him created the fixed door you see on top of him with a proud grin on my face.
     
    Morning finally arrived and i decided to chop down some trees to get some wood supply. in the middle of my farming session all of sudden i see a skeleton englufed in flames shooting at me and chasing me in the bright daylight! i panicked and started running towards a cave to lose him, im pretty sure he died a short while after i entered the cave.
     
    I wondered where the skeleton  came from and then it hit me, i went to see the skeletion that i trapped in the tomb and he is nowhere to be found and i can no longer hear his moaning/grunting. teleporting skeletons confirmed? either way it was such a fun random amazing experience that made me love the game even more.

    If you place the door from the outside. Stuff cant attack you from outside and you can walk right up to the door and hit them with a sword through it. 
     
    Edit: It looks like you already did that. I didn't know skeletons could shoot through doors. I'm scared now. 
     
    I like to build a little overhanging room with a hole in the floor so I can flood the entryway with lava.

    Uh... I have nothing constructive to say, but thank you for sharing your gaming experience.
    It's random stuff like this that make for better replayability and forces one to think outside the box. Minecraft is deep.

    I just had my first encounter with creepers on my new world. Fucking blew off  the entire front of my first nights base during the night. Damn me for peeking out to see who was there I guess.
