A Blossoming Beginning! | Minecraft 1.20 Let’s Play Episode 1

Welcome everyone to the first episode of my new Minecraft Survival Let’s Play series my name is marmalade and we are playing in the 1.20 update and I am so excited to check out all of the new things in this update and to get started in this brand new world with all of you

Let’s um let’s start by punching a tree we uh We’ve spawned this is our spawn point up in this tree oh there’s some dogs over there and we have to do I haven’t done this for such a long time we have to punch a tree just to get our first resources I am

Really looking forward to starting in a new world again and doing all of the early game things that I haven’t done for a really long time now it feels like and I’ve chosen like a large oak tree which is probably the worst choice of first tree to punch down because now

I’ve started I can’t leave it half chopped out I have to finish chopping it so we just have to you just have to punch okay and now we can make ourselves a crafting table and we can make our first wooden pickaxe of the series and I think I’m just gonna put a couple

Of wooden planks here to Mark where our spawn was I like to kind of keep track of where we spawned in a world and it looks like we might be able to grab some really easy Stone right here this is super handy let’s grab some Stone and just

Immediately upgrade to the Stone Age okay we have our stone tools we’ve got some wood we’ve got a crafting table let’s gather up these sap things oh hi B and an apple up here oh and not fall down here and let’s head out and start exploring this world and

This seed oh I mean that’s right by our spawn that’s so cool do we have oh we have a clock amending a golden hoe I’m sure that will be useful let’s just grab let’s just grab it oh I think and I think we’ll take the chest

As well now I did pick out this seed specifically for this let’s play because I have a very specific biome that I would like to build in in this series so I did pick out this seed for the biome but I don’t know anything else about the

Seed we’re going to explore it together as we play I just know that we have a Cherry Grove biome to the east of us so we’re gonna just head off in this direction and do some exploring of the world whilst we look for our Cherry Grove where we’re going to settle down

And start our builds for the season series is also going to be completely vanilla except for the fact that I do have fire tick turned off mostly because things just seem to catch light when I don’t have it turned off so I play with fire tick turned off but other than that

This is all vanilla and we will get some performance mods once they get released for the new update and we’ll get replay mode and things like that as well but those don’t affect the Gameplay at all they are just or making the videos better for you guys to watch well this

Is kind of a handy amount of sheep I’m very sorry I’m really very sorry I’m really sorry I’m so sorry now we can make ourselves a bed and I don’t really want just a plain white bed so we’ll we’ll keep an eye for some flowers oh maybe those flowers over

There that we can dye the bed with pink dye and we can make our bed pink to match with the Cherry Grove that we’re going to settle in and we can cook this mutton that we got whilst we sleep I am very hungry though so this I’m really sorry sheep have just eaten

Your friend in front of you over there let’s head that way and some iron nice there is a decent amount of coal here hello villagers hello do you have anything useful that I can oh kitty cat do you have anything useful to uh let me borrow here let me help you

Get out of this house there you go oh you don’t even have a chest oh that is a lot of apples and a lot of bread I will take the potato definitely I also really want to build out of this white terracotta or at least use some of it in

My build so I may possibly steal some from this Village hello I’m not talking about stealing your house don’t mind me just passing through oh some armor and an iron sword that is very lucky we will take all of these and we’ll put some armor on some cows some

Wheat and oh my goodness look at those mountains and I can see some cherry blossom trees that is the biome that we are looking for we are very almost found what we want and where we want to build I think let’s grab some of these hay bales while we’re here

Let’s head in the direction of these amazing mountains and over to the Cherry Grove and find oh that was a longer drop than I thought it was going to be let’s go find our place to live before we get too full on inventory oh some pumpkins foreign

Ty look the petals I love this petal effect this is something that I am so excited for in this update and is I mean I don’t want to say the only reason that I want to build in a cherry biome but it’s like a very large proportion of the

Reason that I want to build in the Cherry Grove is these pink petal effects and I would say then the the rest of it is the flowers the pink flowers these pink flowers I think these pink flowers might be my favorite my new favorite thing in this game I love them

And uh yeah this is this is where we’re gonna live we’re gonna live in the Cherry Grove and I’m I’m so excited to live in this in this biome it is so pretty and we’re gonna build some really cool things to fit in with this amazing Grove and this amazing kind of block

Palette the pink and the green and yeah it’s gonna be it’s gonna be good I’m excited I think Cherry Groves are generally quite small biomes but this one seems to be a really big Cherry biome which is why partly why I picked this seed and the other reason that I

Picked this seed is just over here so this is where we are going to be building this series in this Cherry Grove that we have here surrounded completely by these mountain ranges these amazing snowy icy peaks and the only entrance is there is a small Gap here between the mountain edges right

Here and that will be our entrance into our Grove and then this is going to be a really nice cozy little Cherry Grove where we’re gonna build all of the things that we have planned to build in this series I’m thinking maybe we build our house kind of quite close our

Starter house kind of close to the entrance maybe maybe in this sort of flat-ish area here would be good and then it’s kind of close by to the entrance and then we’ve still got all of the space in the rest of the of the Grove area to fill with other builds we

Have a bee’s nest here and another one there it seems like Cherry Groves are really good for bee nest spawning which is lovely we can have some bees and we’ve got some caves that are sort of exposed already yep but um mobs are escaping from yep so we can definitely

Do some kind of surface level caving to collect up some more iron and some more coal I’m just letting this zombie burn to death there we go this is gonna be really useful yep perfect we can grab some really easy coal and stuff from these caves around as well so I’ve just

Cleared a bit of space just chopped down some of the cherry trees and planted some of the crops that we have just over there started a bit of a farm and I think this is the space that we’re going to build our starter house in if we take

A look from up here this is the entrance to our Grove and then I think right down here on this fairly flat piece of ground over here I think will be perfect for our starter house close enough to the entrance but not too close and yeah I

Think it’s gonna look I think it’s going to look really cute nestled in there we will definitely put some of these trees back in and I really want to try making some of my own custom cherry trees as well in this in this series so we’ll definitely get to that once we’ve once

We’ve got the build in place but for now we definitely need to collect up some more resources than this we’ve got so many flowers already which is absolutely not a problem in any sense of the word uh these these flowers are I love them

And so I have a bit of a list of the things that I need to collect I have a block palette and a little bit of a plan of the sort of colors and blocks that I want to use in my builds in this world so we’re gonna need to get some Stone

Smelting we’re definitely going to need more than 19 pieces of stone to make a house I think we’re gonna just sort of leave everything here and head off and see if we can’t do a bit of exploring and find some of the other things that we need need for our

Starter base but we do have a huge Cherry Grove here that’s oh and there’s a pink sheep hello you are perfect you belong exactly in this in this biome uh I think we need to I think we need to keep you stay right there I’m gonna get some wheat and

I’m gonna bring you back to my oh no oh no not the powder tonight I wonder I’m wondering now whether naturally generating pink sheep are less rare in a Cherry Grove biome than they usually are because I don’t think I’ve ever seen a pink sheep just naturally spawning in the world

But you are definitely definitely coming back to our little base down here you are perfect there we go two little sheep our pink sheep you are going to be the Grove mascot I think little pink sheep I’m sorry I’m still carrying wheat around and you’re being very distracted

Okay now now we can go on our adventure to find the rest of the things that we need so I think firstly I’m going to head back over to that Village because it was not too far away it’s just around over this mountain edge around here and

We’re going to borrow some of the white terracotta from the walls don’t mind me just borrowing some of your walls one house is worth of terracotta should be plenty for our starter base just to get us started for now so I’m very sorry villagers for leaving your house like this um

This is fine looks like there is some water down here and it might be yep that looks like quite a lot of water so it might be easier for us to take a little boat ride and see what we can find in the water oh there is another ruined portal up there

So there’s our Cherry Grove just up on the top of this hill up there and our Mountain we’re gonna head north I think and check out this ruined portal and see what other biomes we can see from the sea make sure I don’t accidentally fall in the lava what

Have we got oh oh my gosh an enchanted goat called an apple enchanted golden apple in like the second ruined portal that we find in this world okay well we will definitely take that with us oh there’s another Village I will take that I’ll take your blacksmithing table

Not going to be useful just yet but it’s definitely going to be useful for all of the upgrades that we are going to be doing we have got all of the new upgrading things in this update and we definitely want to be able to do some of

Those this is such a cute Village I’m just here to steal from you though I’m I am sorry well this is a lot of emeralds in one chest I mean I will take them all well it does look like we have found ourselves a good ocean out here though

So we can definitely hop back into our boat the Sun is setting let’s take a nap on this boat here on this on this shipwreck oh smithing templates I’ve got two smithing templates that OZO would definitely take I actually didn’t realize you could pick those up

From oh oh no I’m drowning I’m drowning oh no oh no oh no get me out okay we got some smithing templates already I I didn’t even realize you could get them from ruined from from shipwrecks I I I don’t know very much about them we’re gonna be learning this together but we

Have got two Coast armor trim those will definitely be added to our collection let’s clear out some of our inventory I don’t think that I need a single piece of dirt no oh books paper and buried treasure map yes we will take a buried treasure map there it is

Oh my goodness there’s so much good stuff in there and I don’t want to drown okay we’ve moved the chest up out of the water so that we can figure out what we need and what we don’t without drowning I think I might just leave these things

In this chest for now and um we can we can take the treasure map with us and then we can always find our way back here and pick up this stuff but more important that we find the things we need for our starter base they see land

And it’s got dark oak on it that’s exactly what we need is that that’s jungle that’s a jungle let’s go see if we can get some bamboo we have found ourselves some Spruce which is the last wood type that we were looking for we would definitely grab

Some saplings as well oh there are foxes oh my gosh look the little fox family I’m sorry I’m not disturbing you I promise I’m just here to chop down a couple of trees and then I I promise I will leave you alone oh look there’s a whole family of them

Look oh they’re so adorable I love foxes so now I think that we have got everything pretty much everything that we need to make our starter house so let’s head on home and build ourselves our first house so that we can actually finally have somewhere to live and to

Store all of our things and just a quick detour to steal some cows thank you now we hopefully have plenty of resources to actually get started on our starter house we’re just gonna make a few different types of stone bricks maybe some stairs we’ve got some andesite we want some Mossy Cobble yes

Definitely some of that So I think that’s the shape that we’re gonna go for for kind of the floor plan layout I think it’s a good size for a starter house and I want it kind of facing this is the entrance and then that’s the rest of the valley so we’re

Gonna kind of have it sort of facing both directions you need to definitely add some texture into these walls as we build it as well Thank you and I think that is a good start for our first ground floor of our starter base I think this is a good positioning for it let’s take a look from up here yeah I like where that is I think it’s nice that it’s kind of close to the edge

And we’ll have some windows looking out over the rest of the valley as well and we’re going to use this mud brick block for the pathways around here it’s the mud color is it’s got this kind of pink Hue to it which really fits well with the pink block palette that we’re

Going to be using in this area and the pink trees kind of got that nice sort of pink texture to it which I really like and I think yeah I think this will look good for our Pathways around in this area so the upper layer of the house is

Going to be made out of wood and we’re going to be using stripped Birch for some of the walls up there as well as stripped Oak and there is a block that looks really good with stripped Birch and it is the inside of the mushroom block and unfortunately in order to get

That block we have to have silk touch and we definitely don’t have silk touch uh we don’t even have any iron tools yet but I think since we have got some cows and we have got some sugar cane I would really like to see if we are able to get

A really quick early level enchantment setup going so that we can try and get an early silk touch and we can use the mushroom blocks we need Diamonds though two diamonds and we can make an enchanting table and we can get a bit of a an early enchant let’s actually make

Our first Iron pick there we go there’s achievement and let’s head down into a cave well this like looks like it could be kind of promising see how far down this goes foreign well that’s um of course it is of course that there is deep dark just immediately below our base area

Couldn’t be simple could it well this is just directly below our base this cave brings us all the way down to deep State layer which is perfect for finding diamonds but oh less perfect that it’s a deep dark some gold that’s not what we need

There is also a mine shaft down here as well which has slightly less skulk which is nice diamonds there we go that’s exactly what I’ve been looking for more than one no just one okay we got our first diamond I’m gonna grab some of this drip Stone as well while we’re here oh

Okay and there’s two yeah just two two here right we’ve got three diamonds which means we can make ourselves an enchanting table I would definitely come back to this mine shaft yeah I’ll definitely come back and explore the rest of this mine shaft but for now we just needed two diamonds

So now we can make ourselves there it is an enchanting table and we’ll keep that one as our first diamond we’ll put it with our first wooden pickaxe uh no zombie you are not invited to this party okay let’s put this down let’s just put

It here for now this is quite a good spot for it and we can make lots of books and we also need to get to 30 levels as well so let’s breed up some cows and now we have a little enchanting setup and hopefully we have got silk

Touch and it’s even on the second tier of enchant so we don’t quite have 30 levels yet but we don’t need them because we can get it on level two amazing this means that we can grow ourselves a brown mushroom up here I was growing some Spruce and there’s pods all

That has spread which is perfect for us to grow a brown Mushroom on there it is and we can get this mushroom block and this underneath texture here works really well with stripped Birch let me show you so we can put some stripped Birch here just to show you look these

Colors are really similar and they have this really nice kind of added texture gradient to them so instead of just making the walls out of entirely out of strict birch logs we will make them with this gradient with the mushroom and I think that this is going to look really

Nice now to get that inside mushroom texture we just have to put mushroom blocks in front and then get rid of them again and it kind of strips the outside off of this mushroom block and I just I really enjoy this texture and I think it’s going to look awesome with the

Stripped Birch once we get it actually onto this build Thank you Foreign well I think this starter house has turned out pretty nicely I am really happy with how these mushroom block and stripped Birch looks in the walls I’m really glad that we took the time to collect those and I’ve used basically this entire silk touch pickaxe building

This house but yeah I’m really happy with how this has turned out I love the new pink wood and I’m really happy with how the pink roof has turned out I think it looks really good with the dark oak trim for the contrast and we have used

Some of the white terracotta up right at the top because it’s got that kind of pink color to it and we also have plenty of space inside we need to bring all of our things this chess monster that’s been growing out here need to bring

Those in here and we also have a bit of an upstairs which I think I’ll just put my bed in here we’ll get some glass to go in these windows but it’s really nice and open and kind of Airy and there’s lots of space in here definitely plenty

Of space for our first starter build so I’m just gonna get moving all of these things inside and just kind of tidy up out here and the chess monster has all been tidied away and now inside the house here we’ve got a little color crafting setup area and just a bunch of

Barrels and chests with all of our things tidied away into their own little spaces nicely organized and ready for us to use them upstairs is a little bit more empty we definitely need to do some decorating up here currently is just our bed but we will fill this with some

Decorations I think once we can get some pots uh flower pots and some more flowers we can definitely put some more kind of greenery and flowers up in here and I think that will look really nice up here we will also definitely build somewhere for this enchanting setup to

Go I think an enchanting area up on one of the other sides of the valley would look really cute so we’ll definitely build somewhere proper for this to live and I’m really happy with the location that we’ve chosen to build in I think this area is going to look really

Awesome once we start getting some more builds in I think the starter house already looks like it fits really well in here and we’re maybe going to add some more to it in the next episode we’ll see how it goes and I would also definitely be doing some exploring in

The next episode because there are lots of things that I want to get to help us with our building and the things that we want to do but thank you for joining me in this first episode of this new series I would love to know what you all think

About the base area and any ideas of things that you would like to see me do in this series let me know in the comments below I hope you all have a wonderful day and I hope to see you in the next episode goodbye
