A1yssa – 🤯 I Mined 320,000 Sand for THIS RARE Item… (Minecraft Challenge)

So it was just a normal day I had logged on the Discord and was scrolling through the order and was marking off his channel to see if there’s any good deals I didn’t really see anything that caught my eye besides this finish right here mainly because in my opinion The Matrix

Finish looks kind of bad on most of the cosmetics and Order Realms if you don’t know what a finish is basically it’s an item you can apply onto your cosmetic to make it look cooler and you have a super small chance of getting one memory roll

A cosmetic from a key finishes can go from anywhere between 50 000 rubies and 7 million rubies and the reason for such a big price range is because it depends on what finish it is and what cosmetic it’s on because some look absolutely amazing and on the other hand some look

Quite bad anyways from there I went over to Market discussion just to see if there was anything interesting going on and then I came across a conversation about that finish I had seen just a couple of minutes ago as you probably remember the person wanted 500k for it

And a well-known finish collectors too that would be pretty hard to get that amount for it considering the finished then look very appealing and then shortly later someone jokingly replied saying I’ll give you sandwich then another person chimed in and a few minutes later the seller replied with

This and then followed up a minute afterwards saying he actually do 5 000 stacks of and for the Finish that’s a lot after reading to this brief conversation I thought to myself Nola would actually put in the time to get that much sand for Matrix Shield cross

Right well at first I didn’t even consider doing such a task I just went on with my day collecting blocks I needed for a build and I also stocked up on random materials I needed for Badger tasks I was just going through my chest and realized I was extremely low on

Amaryllis so I headed off into the resource world and searched this item which I for some reason thought was only available at beaches but to my surprise my first attempt at TP into the resource World in hopes to find a beach I ended up in an oasis biome where eras also

Happened to be in I was happy that I didn’t have to go around looking for a beach so for the next five to ten minutes I went around collecting all those amaryllis I could get my hands on but then I stopped for a moment and looked around I was surrounded by desert

And then the conversation about the Matrix finish popped back into my head maybe collecting 5000 stacks of sand wasn’t as bad of idea as I first thought but before I’d start on such a task first it would probably be wise to try and calculate just how long it take to

Get that much sand just so you can decide whether or not it’d actually be worth it first off 5000 seconds sand is a total of 320 000 sandblocks and it took me about 90 seconds to get 19 stacks of sand which translates to 1216 blocks of sand which meant it would take

394 minutes or 6 hours and 34 minutes to get 5 000 stacks of sand not to mention the extra time it’ll take to put the sand into some shulkers and slowly transport those back to my realm to put them all in some chests was this many

Hours my life worth it for a mediocre looking finish well at this point I didn’t really know but I was about to find out look the Finish might not look great but I had very few finishes myself and as far as I knew this finish was one

Of a kind at the time not to mention collecting 5000 stacks of sand seemed kind of like a fun Challenge and also possibly a decent video idea so why not give it a go to start things off I need to find a desert since I may or may not

Have tped away from the desert I was in earlier when I went looking for the amaryllis okay this is kind of a desert maybe I think that should be a desert over there um I should probably put my armor on because I don’t know if there’s iguanas over here

Don’t want to die right now yeah we have some little friends over here I’m just gonna leave them don’t have time to deal with those guys right now oh there’s a balloon now uh there’s two hello again why is this guy not fighting me water skull another Wither Skull what are the

Chances okay Okay a little sidetracked there but anyways this doesn’t look all right check over there oh no okay this area looks a lot better should be good enough I’m gonna go ahead and start a timer as well just because I’m curious how long this will end up

Taking me but yeah everything is set I placed a bunch of chests in my room I should have the perfect amount of chest for 5K sand if I did my math correctly anyway I might be off by a tiny bit remember those words for later by the

Way I might be off by a tiny bit I also have a few shulker boxes on me just so I don’t have to go back and forth too often but yeah let’s go ahead and get started on this three two one let’s hope I don’t regret this and this

Was the start of my quest to get 5 000 stacks of sand so I could trade it all in for a semi-decent finish no no no no no no where did you even come from sir please leave me alone just rolling and rolling okay it’s fine I’ll just

Mine sand over here it’s okay you can stay over there okay there we go there’s my first inventory full of sand maybe I should get rid of a few things though so I can store more at a time let’s go ahead and put all this in there

First local rocks down and a ton more to go oh that’s awkward my stopwatch just stopped for some reason it’s fine it’s only I’ve been in a few minutes oh no I just woke up that stratagome again oh I’ve got these things here as well I forgot these things are called

Not too annoying though the stratagomes are probably way worse no please leave me alone leave me alone okay I take it back these are guys are kind of annoying okay I know what some of you might be thinking why don’t I just buy all the sand from the NPC it’s

Spawn it’s only 320k instead of putting all this effort into mining the sand myself well first off I’m kind of low on rubies right now and second it’ll be more fun to get to sand myself at least I think so anyway I mean I could probably make 320k rupees in four to

Five hours of looting structures or ancient cities but um I’m doing this for Content okay all right All right filled up both the shock boxes and also my inventory so it’s time to go drop my first batch of sand off at my realm I only took a little over 10 minutes all right we got two double chests full of sand so far and uh a

Bunch more to go somebody tells me I’m off maybe I’m not this won’t be as hard as I thought it would be I don’t know let’s continue though I’m also really happy the order drums finally fixed their deserts because for a while there’s only one layer of sand

In deserts but now that’s been fixed and it is like normal Minecraft where there’s multiple layers of sand before hitting a sandstone oh Um goodbye balloon all right so um I just realized I did do my math very very wrong um I need double the amount of Chess I have here actually I might be off by a tiny bit basically I um did the math based on double chest instead of single

Chest I don’t know what to explain right now basically I did my math wrong and I need double this amount so that’s that’s fun this looked not too bad when I was looking I was like hey maybe getting 5K Stacks won’t be too bad but um yeah my

My math was very wrong that’s great time to get more chests I guess There we go now it’s back to collecting sound Thank you foreign I have finished most of the year over here there’s like one layer left but not gonna bother but go ahead and probably go back over there that’s where I was earlier until I lost my spot I won’t be mining for too much longer since it’s already getting late for me probably do

Like another 10 minutes or so yeah I’ll be able to do a lot more tomorrow Thank you foreign Well I couldn’t get very much done today but hopefully tomorrow I can make a lot more progress okay it is now day two which means I need to go find a desert I’m hoping to make a ton of progress today it’d be great if I can do it all today but I

Guess we’ll have to wait and see and what is that doing there um I’m just not gonna ask it took me a couple of minutes to find a desert but this day I was really determined to make a good amount of progress I didn’t want

There to have to be a day three but since I started late the previous day because I also had a video to work on I couldn’t just mind stand all day so there was probably going to be a day three Thank you Thank you Why is there a stradical up there I don’t think I’ve ever seen one spawned up there before that’s interesting Ah there’s still so much more to go this is gonna be um more painful than I thought if you made it this far into the video consider subscribing or leave me a like I’d really appreciate it since I’ve put a lot of work into making this video

I don’t know two hours in to digging sand today so that’s lovely um which means I’m a total of almost three hours the dead 55 minutes yesterday so see I almost reached three hours of just safe to say that um I’m already bored as time went on and

The desert became more and more flat straticoms ended up spawning way more frequently since there was so much more room for them to spawn in compared to when the desert had Mars hilly areas desert is so flat now so it comes here they’re gonna be so confused I ended up finding another

Desert close by and proceeded to spend another two hours doing my favorite thing which is um mining sand obviously And basically halfway done now I think I’m tackling one chest off but close enough I’m already pretty tired of mining sand today I’m kind of tempted to buy the rest of the NPC but I’ll survive I think Foreign Total I still have so much left to go but hopefully I can finish the rest tomorrow we’ll see I guess day three had now started and I was determined to get the other half of the sand during this day and as always first I need to go find a desert since I had

Stopped around the halfway point the day before I think it’s safe to say this day was gonna be a bit more painful because today I would be spending over five hours mining sand so will I succeed and finish it on the third day I guess you’ll have to wait and see

Okay I finally found a desert looks good enough so yeah let’s um let’s get started I think it’s safe to say at this point I was starting to question whether this whole thing was worth it or not anyways before I actually started spending hours my time mining sand I

Decided that I want to listen to something in the background so I can be productive and not feel like I was wasting away hours of my life I listened to a book called million dollar Habits by Brian Tracy why am I mentioning this because it’s something to talk about

During this time lapse and because I enjoyed listening to this book plus I learned a lot from it the book is about developing good habits habits that can benefit you whether or not you want to become rich or successful during your life so why am I listening to a book

Like this well I want to be a successful YouTuber and there’s a lot of great advice in this book even though it’s not about YouTube and even if you don’t have a job or anything you can learn a lot from this book do you deal with procrastination I do and it isn’t fun

Especially when I reach the end of the day and realize I’ve done barely any work and I just end up feeling disappointed but I’m working on changing that and spending my time more wisely so I can get more work done every day so let me share three things I learned from

This book that helped me deal with procrastination and I think you can learn something helpful two number one habits if you want to develop a good habit you need to do that habit for 21 days straight without skipping a day for example I struggle with uploading and spending time working on videos

Consistently so I decided for 21 days I would spend time working on videos for at least two hours a day I’m currently eight days in and it’s been pretty successful so far number two setting goals if you have goals you want to reach you’ll need to write them down on

Paper and write them in the present tense for instance I have 10 000 subscribers on YouTube or I upload one video a week you also need to rewrite your goals every day and say them out loud to yourself the reason for running your goals in the present tense and say

Them out loud so that they get into your subconscious mind because your brain knows you don’t actually have whatever that gold it is you’re writing down so when you do these things your brain will try its best to work towards achieving that goal of course you have to be

Working towards the goal yourself and be determined to accomplish it but right here goes down every day will help you achieve them lastly number three is procrastination to beat this I say certain phrase to myself over and over for example I’d repeat I’m going to edit

To myself and it keeps me from getting distracted and it caused me to actually keep editing it really works and you should try it sometime so that’s everything I wanted to share about this book if you’re interested the book is on Audible and there’s a free trial

Available so I’ll have those links in the description and now back to money and sand foreign there’s a person over there where are they even at does I don’t see an area they’re dug down a little bit there’s someone down there okay also Um a lovely strata Golem over there sadly I wasn’t able to finish getting the rest of the sand during the third day which made me kind of disappointed but I did have other things to attend to during that day so I just didn’t have enough time to get all the sand which

Unfortunately meant I would have to go on for another day during the entire third day though with a lot of just buying the rest of the sand had been lingering in the back of my mind but a Canadian just push on and try my best to just focus on getting the sand without

Having to spend any rubies anyways let’s move on to the fourth and final day on this journey to get a matrix finish all right it is now day four of Mining and sand unfortunately I couldn’t finish the rest yesterday so I gotta run another hour or so left to go I think

Let’s go ahead and look for another desert so I can finally finally finish this up it is pretty exciting though since I’m fairly close to 85 000 stacks of sand Foreign tools on here I mean if I was getting this much sand in a normal survival world it would take so much longer because I haven’t spent extra time getting multiple shovels to enchant them and then dealing with having to repair those Thank you why is there so many of these just four of them oh okay one just disappeared there was four of them wait no there is still this far isn’t there yeah I think he just went on my Bruno distance or another one spawned in eyes are so many

I am literally almost done I need two and a half more trips I’m almost done this is exciting I’m definitely way over an hour today I thought it would take at least like one more hour maybe an hour and a half but I’m at an hour

And 43 minutes right now oh well at least Mom’s done Foreign Double chest in one single chest and then I’m finally finally done with collecting with sand ah it’s another inventory fully filled up this shulker already and then there’s another shulker which means I just need one more inventory full of sand and then I’m apparently done foreign using extra blocks uh you know what

I could buy food for a second There we go 5K stacks of sand it’s like ages I took way longer than expected okay what is my time at that’s what I want to know two hours and 13 minutes doing it today and it was my time before okay for the past three days I’ve spent

Eight hours and 17 minutes which means if I’m doing my math correctly I’ve spent a total of 10 hours and 30 minutes before I start all this I thought it would take like six and a half hours to seven hours maybe and then I added like

An extra hour and a half or so for like going back and forth and putting sand away so I thought this would take like eight hours to eight and a half hours but no it took over ten I definitely underestimated how long it would take

You to get 5K stacks of sand let me pick up my steak again all right let’s go put all this away we’re on TP Alyssa put this in here and then these two sugars and there we go there’s um 5K Stacks with sand okay I just did the math I

Just redid the math and I kind of like all my chest and stuff apparently I’m off by five Stacks actually um I guess I’ll go get those last five Stacks then I thought I was done it’s fine it’s fine there we go so that wasn’t actually the

Last block I thought I might up there there we go now we have 5 000 stacks of sand okay that was quite a journey now let me message this person okay you responded um Interested there we go we have the finished thanks okay we have the shield cross cross finish let’s go ahead and try this on let’s see if this was um worth it right now I don’t I don’t really know if it was worth it I mean 10 hours could I

Have made more money in 10 hours I wonder how much I could mean 10 hours to be honest how much can I make in 10 hours of farming I don’t know okay let’s go in here yeah what would have been funny because if I bought the last

Sandblock or maybe maybe you can’t buy one at a time but like the last 16 or 32 from the NPC oh well did all my own never worn this cosmetic my life there’s a lot of cosmics I’ve ever worn Matrix finish let’s go oh man got a lovely finish here I mean

It doesn’t look too bad it’s not the best um oh yeah this one should look like gold looks nice any tricks music doesn’t look good I’m pretty much most of the finishes in the game anyways I spent can this disappear already yeah I spent 10 hours whining sand for this was it worth

It I hope so um I mean hey I think it could be a pretty good video we’ll see how it performs but for now I’d say it’s kind of kind of worth it but yeah if you enjoyed this video you should go check out this one I made on how to easily

Make over 250 000 rubies a month never touching sand again
