Lulunea Neruru Opens a Minecraft Sushi Restaurant After a Detour Through a Boss Fight

REACT — Lulunea Neruru opened a sushi restaurant on a Minecraft server on Sunday, taking the first customers about an hour and 13 minutes into a stream that ran more than four hours.

The session started with a different plan. Lulunea Neruru wanted to lay a glass floor over an aquarium and said the 40 glass blocks already crafted were nowhere near enough, so the stream began with a trip to gather sand. Other players on the server pulled the stream toward a boss dungeon instead. The group opened chests, picked up an item called the Ender Dragon’s wallet, which lets the holder reach a money account, and beat a boss that drops ingots used for armor. Lulunea Neruru said the boss resets every 15 minutes, so it can be farmed repeatedly.

“We finally got the sushi restaurant open, so that’s good.” — Lulunea Neruru, as the stream wound down

Back at the restaurant, Lulunea Neruru learned how the server’s shop system works from another player and stocked the stalls with cherry-blossom nigiri, salmon, cod, carrot sushi and pufferfish sushi. Lulunea Neruru first leaned toward a lower price. Other players said it was too cheap for the work involved, and the starting price was set at 5 gold. The first purchase came with congratulations on the opening. Later, sushi plates could be picked up by right-click, which led to an impromptu sushi party with other players. Phantoms circled overhead because the roof was not finished, prompting a mock request to customers not to arrive from the sky.

Supplies were the stream’s recurring problem. Lulunea Neruru learned that rice is also the seed for planting it, tried and failed to slice ingredients with several knives, and brought ducks and chickens to a pen to breed more. At about 3:45 into the stream, Lulunea Neruru found that the paprika being grown was not the kind the sushi recipe needed. With about 30 minutes left on the server, the aquarium was finished with glass panels, and the fish were swimming below.

Chat followed the build closely, and many comments played along with the restaurant theme. Lulunea Neruru closed by saying the next jobs were making a large batch of sushi and looking for the right paprika. A tasting stream of new fast-food items was floated for Wednesday evening, and Lulunea Neruru said the first game of the Japan Series would be hard to stream because of a collaboration appearance.
