1.18 Starter Cottagecore Hobbit Hole! Ep. 1 – Minecraft 1.18 Let’s Play 🌿

Hey everyone welcome to the first episode of my first ever survival let’s play series we’re in the minecraft 118 update and we’re about to begin what is what is happening what is this this is ridiculous you know this isn’t really the perfect start that i’d hoped for it just keeps going

What am i gonna do oh no four hearts well we’re finally out of that and this is our official start on four hearts and a dream i guess we’re gonna start by punching a tree and grabbing some wood let’s make our crafting bench and craft up our first wooden pickaxe then we’re

Going to grab some stone and make a set of stone tools and now it’s time to actually start our adventure but first we are going to grab some of this precious spruce wood and hopefully get at least one sapling perfect and sorry mr sheep but i need your wool sorry

So one thing i really want to do in this episode is find a really awesome place to live we are going to make this the minecraft 118 caves and cliffs update but it’s cottage core let’s grab that sugar cane and those pumpkins over there too

Wait that guy has a trident but i have two hearts not gonna do it not gonna do it i think i’m just gonna stay safe and i’m gonna grab some fish because we have no food in the early game these pumpkins will be useful later sorry mr pig oh wait is this

Is this a flower forest oh my gosh this could be perfect finally found another sheep and two let’s quickly craft a bed and then we can finally sleep away the first night survived in minecraft let’s go and you know this actually might be a perfect start after all the

Flower force is one of my favorite biomes and i would love to actually live and build here in this series and i think it would be great if we could set some goals for this episode but first let’s check out that abandoned portal really quick i would not turn my eyes

Away from a golden apple or an enchanted one but some iron would also be nice and yeah we we didn’t get much but we still will take it we still will take it there’s also almost enough obsidian here to finish this portal so in the future when we want to go into

The nether this is actually a really good start we can just go from right here yeah only a couple pieces left now i’ve been walking around for a few minutes and i actually think i found a place i want to build and this mountain is just so incredible

And the forest is so awesome and cozy i really really love this whole place so much but i’m thinking right here we’re going to build now let me jump over to show you we’re going to build a cottage core hobbit hole right here against this mountain i can’t wait but we’re gonna

Need some resources first specifically some food so after a relatively terrifying encounter with a creeper i set out to find hopefully a village before we head into the caves i really want to get at least more than these four pieces of cooked salmon that we already have and eventually we did find

A village but it was kind of small and there were no hay bales unfortunately and barely any treasure kind of a waste of time i did manage to flex some carrots and potatoes and on the way back i found a sunflower planes and yep it’s time some mining alright so

Goals i really want to get enough iron to make a full set of armor and tools and i’d love to get a starter base up and running today in this episode and the flower forest is kind of unique in that so many beasts spawn there so i’m

Thinking maybe we can use some blocks like honeycomb in the build we’re gonna need to grind some materials but first a mineshaft okay just gonna keep lighting up oh a chest nice oh is that is that actually a second one okay not only had i been lucky enough to

Find two mine carts with chests but i actually found a mending book inside one of them the other one only had a golden apple and some rails and stuff but still mending i was hoping to find some more treasure but the rest of the visit to the mine shaft was actually pretty

Uneventful so i grabbed some string find some coal i actually got into another fight with a creeper and i was so scared because i was hitting him with my pickaxe why would i do that i decided to grab a little bit more iron and make my

Way back home on the way out my shaders picked up a shiny block in the distance and when i went over it was actually a raw copper block i didn’t know that they spawned like this so pretty cool back at the temporary base it was

Finally time to craft up a full set of armor one two three and four and now we’re fully protected let’s go i also took the time to craft up the rest of our tools put our old tools away and organize my inventory and now i feel

So much better the next day i went back to the village because i really really wanted to get a cat and this cat well i chased him all over the place i really thought it was going to go on forever we were back and forth and finally i trapped him up against this

Mountain while he was climbing and now we have a cat he’s so cute i looked around the village for another cat but i think it was only the one and i decided maybe one cat is enough for me right now so i headed home and when we got home

We had a really wholesome moment i mean look at him he’s so cute okay it was such a good idea to actually spend time to go get a cat look at him oh my goodness this is the best thing ever now though it’s back to work and i’m

Going to be cutting down all of the trees in front of the location that we picked for the hobbit hole i mentioned earlier that i thought about using honeycomb blocks in the build but i also want to incorporate other natural elements of the flower forest into the build like birch and oakwood

Quickly at the end i’m going to grab some leaves to use as decoration and that’s going to end out our time lapse while we were chopping down those trees i uncovered a bee hive and it actually has a couple of bees over here so i’m going to place a campfire and some trap

Doors so hopefully the bees don’t fly into the campfire hopefully that produces us enough honeycomb that we can get a couple more bees nests and get a small farm going while we’re waiting to see how that produces i’m gonna shift focus onto flattening out this mountain where we’re gonna put our hobbit hole

I think when we actually start building it’ll be a lot easier if it’s all one flat area rather than trying to build around multiple different levels and i’m gonna also remove all of the stone hi chicken and that’s just gonna let us tidy up this area even more and

Get it ready to build okay well my tools are basically almost broken but the area is flat and i think it’s a good start the terrain is a little bit uneven around here so i’m gonna do a little bit of terraforming as well when we’re ready to build i’m going to temporarily remove

All of the flowers and the grass and later we’ll replant them when we’re all done i want to keep the kind of sloping hill vibe that this part of the mountain has because i feel like that’s more realistic but i want the entire area to

Be a lot smoother to give us more space to work with and i’m going to cover up this hole down into this bit of death as well i just saw that there was some honey dripping from the beehive so let’s go grab it and hopefully we don’t anger the bees all right

Well the bees weren’t mad thankfully and now we have some honeycomb let’s go and while we’re waiting for more honey gum to produce i’m actually going to run over to this lake nearby and plant all of our sugar cane that way we can start collecting a bunch of it for later i’m

Also starting to stockpile some woods especially the oak and the birch wood for the base build when we start because i feel like we are going to need a lot of it something i noticed while i was grinding resources was that it takes honeycomb a really long time to get

Produced by the bees so i’m gonna take some honeycomb that we already have and make some bee nests and i’m also gonna make some more trapdoors and i’m gonna set up two extra beehive harvesting stations right next to the first one so hopefully we can get honeycomb a little bit faster because

It’s been going extremely slow now to just breed up the bees a few times and get enough bees to fully fill all of the hives and we should be good to go okay at this point i have to admit to myself that i didn’t add any torches and

I really need to light up this area i just kept thinking to myself no i’ll sleep oh oh a creeper oh no okay wait maybe we can get a music disc here okay wait wait i just need to get one hit on the creeper okay okay now the skeleton has to finish him

Okay this could be it all right oh okay that was easier than i thought i don’t know why i thought that was gonna be harder and stall nice i’m gonna go to sleep before anything else spawns and tomorrow for sure i’m going to light up this area spoiler

Alert the next day i absolutely did not light up the area because i got really distracted by breeding up the bees and collecting some more honeycomb and i’ve decided that it is finally time to get the rest of the resources that we need the texture pack that i’m using makes

Granite super super pretty so i mined up some more to use in the build i’m really looking forward to getting this space built together so let’s go do it the first thing i wanted to do was mine out the area where the hobbit hole was going

To go and i went with a 13×8 area inside the mountain mining this with an iron pickaxe took absolutely forever so diamonds are definitely a priority after this but at least it’s super satisfying to watch i did a little bit more terraforming in this area just to make it a bit more

Even and then it was actually time to start building i went with a granite foundation and then i added honeycomb blocks around the door to add some visual interest my friend rofo suggested the composters on the top so i just want to give a big shout out and thank you to

Rofo and blackdown for helping me make this build actually look good i’m going to include both of their links in the description if you want to check them out at this point i started adding details to the build and let’s not talk about how many times it took me to remove

Those trapdoors when i think of cottage core i think of warm and cozy farms beautiful landscapes with lots of flowers and greenery and soft natural colors the granite is so warm against the birch slabs which make this old looking white wood with the mizuno’s texture pack and it’s just so pretty and

Adds a lot of character to the build of course the epitome of cozy to me is a nice warm fireplace so at this point i’m gonna build up a tower and then build a lovely granite chimney i’m gonna do the interior next and then we’ll walk through the entire build together

Okay i just finished the interior and i love it so are you ready here it is i added a small window and a farm over here for wheat it’s simple and small for now but at least it’s a reliable source of food the core start path as you’re walking up

Really feels like it completes this whole area and when we walk in we have a small simple kitchen area with the smoker under the stairs is the cat and on the left side of the room we’ve got some storage and a fireplace filled up with furnaces upstairs there’s a small hallway before

You walk into a very simple bedroom but i really love it i framed my first wooden pickaxe of this world here and over here i set up a special desk with a book to track all of our milestones for 2022 here and that’s gonna be the end of

Our episode today thank you guys so much for watching i hope you had as much fun watching as i had making this episode i’m really proud of the base i love that we used some uncommon blocks to help finish it up and of course we got our full set of iron as well

Like i mentioned earlier this is my first time ever making a survival series on youtube so let me know if you have any feedback i would love to hear it i crafted up a fishing rod and i’m going to spend some time in between episodes

Trying to get a name tag so leave a suggestion for the name of the cat in the comments and the most like comment will be the name that’s it for me today bye Do oh
