The year is 1971. The recently elected Lieutenant Governor of Mississippi has been found with a knife in his throat. Precisely how this came to be the case is a story for another day.
The important thing is that Eric Underwood wakes up, after what feels like just a couple seconds later, in -
He can mine the red stuff, the orange stuff - which hurts him when he steps on it - the metal bars, and the bricks. The gold takes a while to mine and drops nothing. The black blocks take so long to mine that he'll probably give up before he can finish.
There's also a chest!
He sure can! He immediately feels stronger, as if nothing can hurt him when the GOLDEN PANTS are there to protect him.
He encounters a sort of inky object on his way back.
Crafting recipes he discovers in the next ten minutes include: using the ink to make black dye, smelting the red blocks to make red bricks, and a permutation of wood that lets him make a boat!
Cool! Can he plant the seeds he got from the pumpkins and grass? Possibly with help from his hoe?
His only new discoveries are pink flowers, and leather, which is dropped by cows.
After he runs out of coal for cooking food - which happens later that night - Eric considers going into the cave. On the one hand, he might die. On the other hand, he's dreaming, so it doesn't matter.
Back on the first hand, it could still be pretty painful to keep getting shot by skeletons. Back on the second hand, he's Eric fucking Underwood; he eats pain for breakfast. Back on the first hand again, he's been here for at least two hours so far without any signs of waking up, so maybe this is actually real somehow? Back on the second hand again, that's ridiculous. And on his legs, which is really the deciding factor, are the magical golden pants. So into the cave he goes.
Eric kills it too, eats some meat to heal himself, and then places some torches so that he can look for more interesting minerals.
The only notable type of block is a slightly different-looking type of grey stone, which simply drops itself.
He'll also encounter another skeleton, zombie, and spider, and by the time he finishes killing them all, he will have picked up a total of three pieces of string, one red eye, two arrows, two bones, and another piece of rotting meat. His pants feel somewhat broken now - although they do seem to have made the arrows stuck in him hurt less.
But once he's put up the torches and started mining, no more monsters seem to come out.
Ah, are they scared of the light? Well, he'll mine some more coal to make more torches, then. (And go grab some more meat from his house, too.)
As he goes further into the cave, he will encounter some pinkish rocks, some green minerals that don't seem minable with a stone pickaxe, and some more of the same types of monsters.
There's also this area!
He'll try to mine those tan things in the ground, and then venture into the plant place.
The blocks in the ground drop another sort of blob of metal, and some of the plants are minable too.
Also, he finds blocks which drop balls of clay, and one of the skeletons attacking him drops its bow!
