19 Things You SHOULDN’T BUILD In Minecraft 1.19

A brand’s new update means new ways to play and build with new blocks to work with if you’re skilled and even new structures to be filled this is my biggest video yet going through build ideas that i would love to work with in 1.19 but that i know was such a terrible

Idea to spend survival time on so instead i’m showing you what they would look like if we had built them this is 19 projects you absolutely shouldn’t try and i would appreciate if you subscribe to the channel i would say this video took a long time to make and that’s why

You should do it but i’m actually just starting making it now but i do know it’s going to take a long time to make so if you appreciate these long-form videos and the longest ever builds you shouldn’t make video then please do subscribe or perhaps like the video or

Do any of the positive things because this is a very positive ring right this is the ancient city or rather this is what the ancient city looks like in every youtube video but if you actually saw it normally it would look more like this you just see the random fire and

Lava and occasional lanterns and sure you can light this place up using torches or another light source of your choosing but there’s one light source that just beats all of those right the idea here is simple the best way to let light into any structure is to use

Natural light because it is going to be all the way maxed out look how much better this place immediately looks of just one single block of this but what if we didn’t have just a single block of light what if the entire portal was fully excavated all the way to the

Surface that would take an insane amount of time and survival and fortunately we’re not in survival but it’s still going to take a long time because what we need to do is fill all of these blocks and replace them with air all of a sudden this makes the entire place

Look as good as if you had night vision but all of the time and it not only does that but it makes this stunning visual as you look out of the hole and it’s even better than just a stunning visual from the ancient city looking upwards

But also it works the other way because you can look straight down from a very beautiful piece of well-crafted uh terrain jet on the surface down to the most intense and horrific and scary uh terrain gent down below and as long as you make some safe falling places then

There’s no reason this can’t be one of the centerpieces of your world obviously this involves destroying about 200 000 blocks even more if you wanted to destroy the entire area around this because this whole area isn’t properly lit i mean what you’d have to do for

That is you’d have to destroy the area around all of this stuff too which would be insane right but if you were crazy enough to excavate the over a million blocks that it would require you would get quite the spectacle from both angles seriously this is a minus 46 coordinate

Which is crazy enough by itself but it’s a minus 46 coordinate that is visible from over 150 blocks in the sky it is nuts to look at and again i would not want to mine those million blocks in survival or rather i would want to mine those million blocks i’d get about a

Tenth of the way through and then i decide i never want to look at it again which is why i had to get my urge to see this out in creative just like with the next project because the new skull blocks are quite a oh what is this

Is this sideways seaweed i’m seeing right now huh strange because anyway skulk blocks are a very interesting palette to play around with and one of the easy ideas they had would be would it be fun to cover the entire surface of a river with skull blocks so be a skulk river but i

Think you’d lose a lot of the depth that the river actually has that way and so one of the ideas that i immediately then loved was what if you replace the river bed that’s right all of the sand and gravel and dirt what if you took all of

Those blocks and replaced it with skulk this would take an insane amount of time because you’d have to get a silk touch uh diamond or never right hoe down in the deep dark you’d have to mine thousands and thousands of these blocks and then replace each and every single

One of the ocean bed blocks of these again very bad idea that no one should attempt but if you were to attempt it what would it look like the answer is apparently something seriously spooky i left the clay deposits in here for now and i kind of like the addition they

Bring uh the tiny bit of texture you get in an otherwise sea of black but honestly it’s like one of those have you ever looked at like a vantablack painted uh anything like an apple where you just can’t discern the shape it kind of looks like that the riverbed kind of vanishes

And instead you just get a bunch of drowns and big salmons as well as small salmons uh because we’re playing uh superior minecraft of course but you see a bunch of uh like uh floating salmon uh just above some skull blocks and that’s about it it’s very very strange uh in so

Many ways there’s even a parrot here and uh i like the result enough that i seriously do want to contemplate playing around with water and skulk together um i think it looks objectively horrible in so many ways but that’s why i like it maybe you disagree though maybe if you

Do you might like my third project because clay is now infinitely renewable no longer do you have to go to your river beds or as of 1.18 your lush caves etc now if you want a clay all you need to do is make a very simple uh little

Thing like this and boom you’ve got yourself immediate access to clay and what do you want to do with that well it’s a good question the first thing you should be considering doing is building the world’s best house because this my let’s play house has been proven to be

The absolute best minecraft build ever created by anyone ever that sounds impossible to believe until you realize the feng shui principles the merging of bricks and oakwood it’s just too much for any mere mortal to look at and here’s the great thing about it if you

Want to build a house like that you can do so and you don’t even need to cook the clay anymore you can just use pure clay straight from the world and you can make a toy cat’s let’s play house replica but using mangrove wooden clay instead wow isn’t this an interesting

Experience it’s it’s so weird to me that you can build a let’s play house out basically any material and it still looks just as questionable just as maybe you shouldn’t build it but there’s just something i love about this so much i even got the frog lights mixed in there

Um but yeah basically any existing build you have can be rebuilt using a little bit of a clay and mangrove wood and it’s a pretty fun idea by the way but for the fourth build here because of course you shouldn’t actually build a toy cat’s let’s play house using clay instead of

Bricks it obviously looks better with bricks i mean it’s just such a great build uh we shouldn’t tarnish it by using a lesser build quality material so uh instead let’s talk about mangrove wood because mangrove wood can be used in all sorts of funky ways i love the

Sorts of ways that you can use it to make anything made out of wood but what you can also do with it definitely my favorite use is combined with other wood types to make blacks you can make an english flag all with a bit of extra

Effort a union jack okay this is a terrible union jack but it’s not such a terrible icelandic flag is it actually you know what this might be one of those builds that you really should do in survival because getting a lot of these mangrove planks isn’t that massively

Hard even if you wanted to scale this up so it will take thousands of planks to build which of course i’m not gonna do here but it wouldn’t be too hard to get off those blocks and if you were gonna do it i mean it would look something like this

This is over ten thousand planks strung together in a giant icelandic flag i think at this ratio you do need to start considering the exact dimensions you’re going for a bit more i kind of scaled it up a bit too perfectly but still i i like the giant icelandic flag it might

Have to be an addition to any world where you like iceland which should be most worlds i mean you know polar bears don’t come from nowhere right anyway uh speaking of iceland and polar bears the next build is just as useless as one of those two things so this next idea

Brings me back to the ancient city which by the way is covered in far too much gravel there we go that’s much better that was the only thing that i could see that is wrong with this ancient city anyway one of the ideas that i had regarding this because we have this big

Portal but we just don’t know what it’s going to do but it is this wonderful shape that’s kind of disappointing that it’s just empty right now and so what do you logically do with that well you do what people have done ever since the never portal was able to be expanded

Which is you place your own fake portal behind it it’s obviously not gonna have the same effect as if you had a real ancient city portal but there is just something stunning about seeing this thing being actually filled with the portal dust which you can see right here

Also i think one of the other concerns you might have is like well it doesn’t really work both ways because on this side you’re going to clearly see the obsidian which is kind of a bit too obvious and i think there’s two ways you could deal with this one of these would

Be obviously covering this thing up entirely the other one is just covering around the edges and making it so you mostly can’t see through besides the tiniest bit of purple i think that’s the much more preferable solution by just kind of covering up the corners like so

And now you have an ancient city portal which looks kind of interesting from this side alone but which mostly has the intended effect of making the wardens head which is clearly based on looking that extra layer of spooky and also making the reinforced deep slate look

Like it has a use obviously if you get too close the illusion breaks but that’s true for any nerve portal i just kind of like the way that this one happens is this a good idea for survival almost certainly not because again at some point we’ll find a use for these brand

New portals who knows when that is but it’s worth keeping yourself ready for it just like how it’s worth keeping yourself ready for the next great idea which get this right the ancient city is filled with skulk blocks and also skulk veins what could you do if you took all

Of these blocks elsewhere obviously you could make a sculpt jungle you just play skulk veins on every single one of these surfaces and you slowly corrupt the entire thing so the way that i’m doing this in creative is a little bit bodgy my idea is to play skulk in every

Possible air block and then all of the air blocks that are attached to nothing will slowly decay i hope and all of the ones that aren’t in the air should eventually attach themselves to trees like you’re seeing happening over here it’s like using a warhammer when you

Need to use i don’t know a needle but i think as you’re gonna see it should allow us to see what would happen if you took absolute thousands of these blocks and covered an entire forest in i’ve accidentally created a horror that’s much more interesting than what i was

Going for i mean this entire skulky biome is very interesting by itself but just look at the big blob of skulk vein that you can walk through fly through and you can even break if you really want to but that makes these really weird cubes you just don’t see anywhere

Else in the game it’s a very very strange effect that i really wasn’t intending to do on this scale but oops apparently i’m just gonna let this run for a while and see how it plays out i guess so fast forward time Okay so this is one of the worst ideas to do in survival but apparently it’s also a terrible idea in creative i guess skulk has to be like specifically picked in a certain direction it doesn’t automatically scoop onto it like torches do and so if you try to play skulk

Everywhere not by hand it’s also a terrible idea but uh yeah would not recommend this in survival or creative wow that’s a first for the series um if you’re curious this is survival projects you shouldn’t try just like the next one here man this is such a weird thing to go

Through anyway moving on from that mess do you know what one of my favorite new block palettes is it has to be the mud bricks when mud bricks were first announced in this trailer right here i loved looking at the house they built and i thought myself wow that sure is a

Nice one would it be cool to build that exact house in minecraft and obviously it’s perfectly fine to build one of these houses it wouldn’t even take too much effort but what if you made like multiple of these houses what if you made every one of your minecraft builds

Just one of these mud brick houses well i mean obviously it would take too long to do that but maybe maybe we could do that anyway you would not believe how hard it is trying to actually place blocks because of all the skulk taking up i don’t know all the memory of the

World i i don’t understand what actually happens underneath the surface i just know that this house should have been very simple to building creative but it’s a little bit trickier when you’ve got a ton of processors taking up all of your resources i guess actually do you know

What seeing it side by side of the trailer makes me realize that they’ve changed mud bricks to be much darker um than i guess they use in the trailer or maybe the saturation is just way up i’m not too sure either way i’ve also realized that i’m using blue amateur

Mistake i think it’s cyan i’m guessing oh no it’s just light blue so we’re gonna replace the blue of the light blue and then we can do what’s important here which is of course in survival it’d be hard to build multiple of these houses getting the week together and the mud

And the stone bricks you could do it in not a huge amount of time but if you wanted to make let’s say a whole village worth of these that would be a big task if you did a little bit of copy pasting on the other hand honestly as i look

Around at the monstrosity that i’ve made here in creative this might actually be a better project for survival getting this many mud bricks wouldn’t be so tragically difficult and then you’d be able to actually plan the thing out properly but for now as an idea have you considered making the mud brick house

That they showed off at minecon live i bet you haven’t if you’re not me and if you haven’t then you’re missing out on not very much and we’re being honest but yeah i love that we have a little village community all living you know these are mojang made mobs living in a

Mojang designed village isn’t that beautiful okay is that just every village i’m describing right now you know what i’m not describing when i say that though my next beautiful build idea on this list which hopefully is also you know we’ve had two fails in a row but my

Next one is sure bets did you know after this update all you need to do is take a water bottle or rather just an empty bottle uh down under water and then you can just repeatedly spam the right click or the left trigger and you’re going to

End up with mud where all of the dirt was because you’re surrounded by water you don’t need to refill the bottle or you do but it’s instant and it means that you can have this really nice effect of kind of turning the seabed into this much more

Dark uh black mud color which a lot of people do like for collection but some people also just like the texture it’s a much better texture than dirt you might say and so what would it look like if you took an entire riverbed and did this

To it honestly the answer is much better i’m worried the reason as to why that’s true is because it’s in black you know how black is just the universally loved gamer color which is why by the way you can buy literally just an ivx toy cat hoodie uh available in black uh right

Now i think and uh yeah people black is the most popular color because that’s just how people like things in fact i think you could take any minecraft biome just replace the blocks of the black mud it’s even really black it’s more of a gray but take the blackest uh natural looking

Minecraft block and you can make anything look better i mean sure look at this lovely jungle or this lovely extreme hill biome with its uh grass right now but imagine it with mud instead wait don’t imagine it this is a silly build idea video you’ve gotta admit it does add something quite nice

To the biome i think the only downside is all the dirt is still here i mean we could easily replace that too but then we just have a big black mountain you know what we want a big black mountain i think we do oh yeah that is quite the

Improvement huh honestly it actually is it it’s just a big black muddy blob but actually works quite well it makes you realize that the mangroves swamp a lot of the the heavy lifting in the atmosphere building probably does come from the mud i mean the fact that you

Can turn it to mud and mud bricks is great but the mangrove swamp is a pretty biome as it is but i’ve always felt like looking at it wouldn’t it be better if it was like high up above the ground i think the mangrove swamp looks great but

I think it’s kind of wasted by being so covered with trees and it means that you never really see it from the other biomes i mean seriously it’s just from above or from any other high place all you see is this big green mess and i

Think it’s a waste that could be fixed by elevating it maybe 150 blocks in the sky kind of like this wow isn’t this nice i think we could do a little bit better by having like a waterfall coming off it like so oh look at that now

There’s actually a way to access this thing i think it’d be so cool to take an entire biome and just have it float above the clouds because then it would darken the space where you removed it i think that moving entire places like this is such a time consuming project

But it can be so rewarding right even the mud patterns look cool from underneath this thing all of the trees kind of just merge together but with this absurd view of the environment around it i just love the entire thing i think every minecraft band can be raised

Up a lot but i think the mangrove swamp in particular would really benefit from it on both sides my next idea for a structure is a really simple one i mean probably a really dumb one but i’ve always wondered what would happen if you took like a really new school structure like

The you know beautiful brand new ancient city it’s just been designed as of this update what if you took something so new and modern and you made it feel super old school by making out of an old block like wood perhaps as you can see the

Wood just feels out of place here but what if the entire structure was made out of wood and mud well the answer to that apparently is just an absolute mess i mean look around at this thing it doesn’t even really look old-timey i guess we’ve got to replace even more

Blocks we’ve got to think about the the chiseled deep slates and the slabs and everything else and if we were to do that which i mean is is this worth our time yes it is apparently you know what i think it’s fun solely because of the

Noise it makes when we walk and the fact that it’s clearly a different block palette just applied to something it shouldn’t be but besides that i’m not too in love with that besides the sound but i don’t think that’s my my job’s doing here imagine if you had built this entire thing by

Scratch using mud bricks and mangrove and then realized it was a bad idea see this is why you need your boy toycat to give you ideas you didn’t know you had and then tell you why they were terrible you know actually why why is this series

I think it’s a good question so to balance it out i think this next idea has to be really useful and this is a really good idea if you have the time because think about it the deep dark is the scariest biome in minecraft because there’s only one mob that can spawn here

And it’s the warden but the warden actually doesn’t spawn as a result of the biome he spawns as a result of these skulk sensing blocks if you didn’t have any skulk sensors or in fact if you didn’t have any of this structure right here you just have a deep dark biome

Where no mobs could spawn that’d be amazing but obviously it’d be impossible because you’d have to remove all of the blocks right here and you see where this is going right okay so i’ll admit this one takes a lot of doing in survival destroying an entire structure is just

Something most normal people don’t do if we’re being entirely honest with ourselves i mean you know i’m not a normal person i’ve made that before but that you know it’s just not a thing that most people will do but you will get some diamonds in return and you’ll also

Get the very safest place that you can place a bed right here there is no way any mob can spawn in a huge radius off here and if you want to go extra safe maybe even make yourself some air holes where you can also get some skylight in

Here just to make things an extra level of safety from mobs there is no way anything is coming to get you from such a wide radius and that’s why this is a good idea that would just take you far too long and the far too long bit is why

It’s such a bad idea unlike this next idea because if you destroyed an entire ancient city you’d have a ton of these extra blocks lying around and you know what you could do with a ton of extra skull sensors that’s right you could easily confuse your friends because imagine stepping foot into this

Monstrosity the activation of the skulka blocks will activate other sculpt blocks and it activates a very very strange thing that allows you to see this lovely circle around yourself that shows you enough lovely little radius i don’t know what this would ever be useful for and

That’s why i’m not going to go through the effort of collecting this many skulk sensors in survival but my god is this beautiful right i want to build this so bad i just also know this is definitely a build that is best left for creative because it also doesn’t really help

Anyone like unlike the previous silly project which would at least stop mobs from spawning this would i guess theoretically stop them from spawning in a certain radius around the player because that is a light source but not by very much unlike my next genius idea which is of course to use those light

Sources and to make it so that you’ll never have a mob spawn in your forests again admittedly most the time they won’t spawn in your forest anyway but now you can be absolutely sure this is a beautiful testament i’m living currently in the city of neon as i record this i’m

Gonna be home temporarily this as this goes up but i digress right now uh this is a lovely testament to neon style blocks because if we’re being totally honest that’s all frog light really is it’s this neon style super glowy super it really works as a leaf replacement in

My opinion uh looking block i think the only thing more perfect than turning an ancient city into mangrove or mud bricks would be to turn minecraft’s best structure into one of the same things that’s right we’re finally gonna do it this is something i’ve been waiting a

Very long time for but we are going to make ourselves minecraft’s best structure using minecraft’s newest resource this seems like it should be impossible but if you just watch and see you’ll see how out of nowhere it looks like i have nothing but then all of a

Sudden what’s that oh no yeah it’s the best structure in the game i think i may have done the outside wrong but that’s totally fine let’s build another one some people say that modern minecraft updates aren’t as good as the old ones and i agree i mean if

You look at a modern day minecraft structure and how useless and pathetic it is when compared to the older minecraft structures you’ll realize that we just never had things as good as we had it back then they were the golden days and we just didn’t realize it but

Now you can appreciate it with just a few mangrove wood or mud brick slabs there’s actually no good reason you shouldn’t do this in survival except for obviously making everyone else in your server or world jealous or maybe your dog jealous because when people get jealous they might burn down your stuff

And you don’t want that because you like good things like our next build idea okay this is another classic i do love to play around with these in survival but i feel like i shouldn’t do it for like the fifth time running but what if we were to take a desert temple and

Rebuild it using mud brick blocks i know actually decent minecraft builders prefer not to use just new blocks alone they’ll try to mix them into their pallets or other weird professional building words but i just love using these two blocks together i think they complement each other so well and i

Think mud bricks are actually a better look for this structure than the sandstone ever was i think this is much more appropriate there’s just something so historic so ancient feeling about this place what do you reckon internet do you think this is a better look for the desert temple because i totally do

Think it is in fact this is encouraging me to build like super old school old themed stuff using it because mudbricks just suit it so well probably because we only had mud bricks till fairly recently in the human tech tree speaking of the human tertiary let’s move into something

Which is a little bit more literal of a tree okay so do you know how crazy it was when we replaced the entire forest with frog light blocks for leafs what if we took all of the logs and we made them mud yet this doesn’t look much better really does it i think

We’re probably running out of ideas however here’s one that’s gonna blow your mind what if we took every single leaf block in the mangrove swamp biome and replaced it with a different leaf block just to see if anyone would notice this is a crazy idea of course but what

If i was to tell you that i’ve already done it and these are a different leaf block and you didn’t even notice well then you’d be silly for being fooled by that because i haven’t done it yet this is what mangrove swamp leafs look like i think they’re an interesting enough leaf

Block honestly you can barely tell unless you’re paying attention this is a very good use of your time and survival get all of your shears together and move around the tree leafs and see if people care okay there’s one there’s one final really important idea here because you

Know before we scrape the bottom of this barrel here is one last thing that i think is a good 1.19 commemorative build that’s just a bit too much for my survival world so you’re really scared of the warden in 1.19 right what’s the only thing you can do to scare him away

Assuming a buff frog won’t do that for you well the only logical thing is to build a giant statue of him and see if that scares him away i actually really love the giant warden statue i just know it’d be such a pain to build in survival

But i just love it as a project that you should totally take on in creative if you can or maybe we should just get together you know it’s not that many black concrete blocks it’s not that many cyan terracottas and cyan concretes i’m sure if we just get enough of those

Blocks together we can do it it’s just one of those things where where is it going to go in a survival world versus it can go everywhere in a creative world and so this is a build that i built in creative but i really don’t recommend building in survival despite being

Someone who loves survival building this is in fact 19 of them which i hope you’ve all enjoyed i have never done so many of these in a single video so if you did appreciate it please do consider subscribing and let me know you love the dumb build idea series it took many many

Many hours to put this one together so just some form support be appreciated but for now i hope that you enjoyed i hope you have a nice day and i hope you’re enjoying 1.19 all okay because i’ll see you all in the next one on another day goodbye goodbye good good day

There we go You
