AntVenom – Minecraft: NETHER W/O CRAFTING A PICKAXE!! (Survival Challenge)

Hey guys antoine here and welcome back to another minecraft video and today we are going to be doing another survival challenge and the survival challenge for today is to get to the nether without ever crafting a pickaxe so yeah it’s almost like an homage to the previous survival challenge where a lot

Of you commented that i shouldn’t have um crafted a pickaxe at all oh okay this is a savannah biome this is nifty i wonder if a village can spawn in here but anyways it’s sort of an homage to that where a lot of you you know brought

Up the fact that i uh crafted a pickaxe during the challenge and uh the challenge was never to not craft a pickaxe but it was to not mine the diamond with a pickaxe so i could still use it during the rest of the challenge but in this challenge we’re gonna try

And get to the nether without ever having crafted a pickaxe at all i’m not actually sure if anything like this has ever been done but it is going to be funny nonetheless and i almost have a feeling that the next challenge is going to involve not ever making a crafting

Bench um so yeah but in this episode or in this video we the intention is to have a crafting bench and uh to have some sticks and whatnot bam but we are not crafting a pickaxe ever at all ever so yeah i mean it yeah yeah yeah yeah

I don’t even know what i’m thinking anymore but anyways let’s go ahead and let’s craft some quintessential tools here i’m going to go and i’m going to craft a hoe as well just because i feel like i may wind up needing it let’s go and let’s craft that up here and looks like

We do have ourselves some chickens right here i have just noticed um yeah well i wasn’t really paying attention before but now i am noticing and it looks like we got some sheep that are right here and it’s going to be awesome so let’s go ahead and let’s uh let’s well it does

Kind of suck that you know these are the guys we wind up finding because um yeah it’s chicken is like it causes uh it has a high chance raw chicken has a high chance of causing salmonella in this game so or i should just say regular poison i

Think you know poison you get from a chicken should just be called salmonella though but um yeah all right i got three of those bam but hey in an emergency situation this is going to be absolutely better than nothing so uh let’s go and let’s get everything

That we can now and uh let’s go ahead and let’s let us get charging um yeah okay so the main idea of this challenge again is to get to the nether without ever crafting a pickaxe which is going to require a bucket a bucket is the only way to do this and

If i can get a bucket and i can find myself a lava pool either underground or otherwise then this is going to be a totally possible challenge um yeah in order to find our way underground though we have to find a natural way underground which is fine um the easiest

Way to go about doing this challenge or i hate you right there i hate that coal because i can’t actually um use it but the easiest way to go about with this challenge is to wind up finding a village but i’m not going to rely on it

So the easiest way to do this aside from a village or the only way to do this is to find a mine shaft with chests that have a uh with just that actually have a uh you know some iron in them so that i can actually craft it that way and

Then if i can craft a bucket that way then i can go about getting you know this challenge all set what i would like though is if i can mysteriously find nine uh if i can mysterious or nine or six um iron because i’d like to

Be able to carry around two buckets of water so i can always have an infinite water source so i only have to find enough lava to do it um which can be a challenge so yeah and the only reason i’m taking all this dirt is because if i

Decide to go down into a cave system i want to be able to tunnel my way back up you know fairly easily why am i using my hand for this you can bet you guys are screaming at me about that one man i can i can really

Derp hardcore today today is a day full of hardcore derpage so yeah um well then all right so ooh see i’m noticing all kinds of cave drop downs here so i feel like this may be our best solution but i don’t want to have this be my only source of food

I mean this this is great and all but if i eat right here yeah i mean okay so that works all right um am i on peaceful no i’m on normal okay that’s good um well this isn’t really a useful drop down i don’t think maybe this will be

I’m not really too sure i don’t want to sprint around oh god oh god oh baby okay this could this this could be fun um but hey even though i can’t actually craft a pickaxe uh nothing says that i can’t destroy a block with my bare hand you know there’s nothing on the

Challenge lineup that says i can’t do that so let’s go ahead and let’s just do that let’s go and let’s drop down here and then here oh god is this seriously a drop down into nothing wow i’ve never seen a more useless drop down

In my life i almost i almost do have a feeling this goes somewhere though like usually these sorts of things aren’t dead ends but maybe this one is oh my god this thing is seriously a dead end i am i’m a very surprised wow i’m actually very

Very surprised this is a dead end okay well screw you too minecraft all right and yes i know that it is very very dark i cannot help that unfortunately okay well at least this dirt is proving to be very useful during this challenge but yeah okay oh there’s that right there

Okay let’s go and let’s get back up now there we go sweet all right all right um so i hear zombie i hear zombie butts around here are you through here if only i could mine with this i hear them in there and that might be a

Spawner which could have iron which i would really like to find my way into right now okay is there a spawner in there that i can make use of because that would be amazing maybe and hopefully it’s right oh it’s right down here that’s great i

Didn’t even have to i didn’t even have to mine through this okay but it looks like my uh my shovel may run out before i get the chance to okay there we go bam so let’s go and let’s do this can i get right there yes i can

Okay what’s up zombie butts oh god oh god that’s a creeper maybe i can get some iron okay no no no stay away and you guys are gonna come after me so i need to there we go wow okay i’m going pro status here no no

He’s gonna blow up right now well at least i’m gonna be able to get a few pieces of cobblestone just just two pieces of cobblestone like the best i’m gonna be able to do out of that is a sword because actually yeah i should just craft a sword with that right now

Because having a wooden sword can be kind of bad uh yeah all right slow we’re good we’re good on this front i would really like to place down torches but i unfortunately cannot um looks like there’s a nice opening over here all right i’m going to take a

Stab that this is probably a pretty intricate cave system so i want to get down as as fast as i can and i hear skeletons out there and i’m actually pretty scared uh because skeletons are well let’s just say it’s not what the doctor called for

Oh god get back up okay i wanted to craft a staircase here there we go staircase staircase staircase mode activate all right let’s see here let’s go and let’s use up the rest of this to get this dirt back because dirt dirt is very valuable right now okay i can get down

Here but i want to be sure that i have a way back up okay let’s be careful let’s be very very careful so why am i going down here because the possibility of a mine shaft is oh god okay okay die there we go not too much damage all right we’re good

Uh there’s water right there but unfortunately i don’t have a bucket yet to collect it that would be amazing if i did okay you okay come here come here bro come here okay just just just just just come here come here come here here we go

All right so i’m seeing mobs oh my god this is mob city i am not i am not confident at all right now i’m in i’m i’m in a natural cave too which is a problem okay oh and i got i got salmonella yep yep yep that’s the kind of day it’s

Gonna be all right here we go here we go guys we’re gonna we’re really we’re really cooking with the bacon now okay let’s go and let’s head down here i i think i have a better chance at finding these mine shafts a little lower into the earth

Uh my my hunger isn’t going down morbidly fast but yeah i do need i need to find a mine shaft like fast ooh this could be good this could be good okay i need to find brown mushrooms though for like some real food okay my hunger is doing okay that’s

That’s the best that i can say right now all right oh mind shift yes okay let’s be sure that that i’m as full as i can get please don’t give me salmonella right now i i don’t i don’t know of a way to cook this okay whoo all right well i still have

One piece all right this could work we could be in luck today guys we could be in luck this challenge may in fact work and um i just kind of thought of this too i wonder what you guys would think man i have to think of this right now but i

Wonder what you guys would think if i were to use a pickaxe that i found like without crafting a pickaxe no i don’t think that would work i don’t think you guys would like that very much okay so we got some gold we got some bread that’s good got herself some food

But i really could use the iron right now um oh my god i just realized how bad it’s gonna be if i ever find a uh a spike a cave spider spawner because um i can’t really handle that unfortunately is there a chest anywhere i don’t see i don’t see immediately but

I do want to search this entire cave system up or this entire mine shaft oh oh oh four iron yeah baby yes all right all right bro here we go here we go did i leave i left my crafting bench behind didn’t i and i only have these are you kidding me

I thought i had more than this i left my wood behind i drop oh no i was gonna say i’m not i’m not used to seeing these okay i did in fact leave my crafting bench behind but whoo uh did i i don’t even know if i actually

Did i did in fact leave my crafting bench behind but i i thought i dropped my wood along the way too i was about to i was about to have a psychobilly freak out here all right so this is going to lead into a natural cave system i hear slimes too that’s awesome

Naturally spawning slime not in a uh swamp mile that’s really cool all right i know that this isn’t going to help mining into oh you know what let’s just go and let’s do this okay bam bam this cobblestone is going to be valuable like i can’t place it down

Because i can’t mine it up okay so now i got bread so that’s good all right so now our goal is we’re gonna need some water uh water is what we need right now so let’s get some water and let’s get to a lava level okay there’s there’s creepers and stuff

Oh oh my god that’s a lot of mobs and only that spider’s going to come after me i think all right so spider just go ahead and come at me where are oh looks like he stopped okay he stopped to reassess his situation or to reassess his values and life okay

These are torches all over the place i wouldn’t mind finding some armor or just something else other than what i got here all right uh oh there’s another chest here kind of hidden okay let’s see oh no this is the same chest all right i guess i’ve been into that chest already right

Because i’ve been here duh okay so well for the time being i don’t want to collect lava this is what i wanna wow okay that was really messed up the lighting update is what ultimately made it flow um all right so now we need to find

Ourselves a lot oh but oh i also need flint i need a flint and steel i didn’t even think about that uh but there is gravel down here there is there is gravel let’s go ahead and let’s try and find yep there’s some of that gravel and i have one extra p i

Have one extra iron and get two this is great i love that i have one extra iron ingot exactly what i need for a flint and steel oh baby baby this challenge is coming together today all right let’s go ahead and let’s do this okay

But we can still die like i i don’t want to count my chickens before they hatch i could still very easily die but um oh god is that a lava pool man i can’t i can’t i can’t mine this up so i don’t know i don’t know what this leads down into

Okay well there is an area down there let’s go ahead and let’s um can i just hm let’s see here can i block this off here i want to block this lava flow off but not destroy it i just want to block it off for the time being it’s a single

Lava flow so it should should disappear pretty quickly but lava also could be a very valuable weapon right now but then again water could be you know fairly hard to find when i hit lava level and having this water is going to be a good idea

So yeah i do want to have one block extra to go down into there we go okay all right let’s go and let’s head down here bam okay where where are you skelly butts where are you oh no lava pool oh baby oh man this could actually be it

Right here like this lit i literally could do that i literally i think i could do this challenge right here all right um so for safety reasons i’m gonna block this off so that no mobs can get through that so okay i want to save this water but i also

Want to be sure that the water can’t flow into the lava so okay so what what would be the best course what would be the best action here um all right i know that i unfortunately have to punch a lot of this up with my

Fist but it looks as if we might be able to get this challenge done a lot quicker than i expected we’re only 13 minutes into this challenge and we are already on a cruise control path to success it’s awesome with the 1.7 update okay i need to stop

Switching here with the 1.7 update um the size of the nether portal that you can create changed but unfortunately uh the okay the what am i trying to say here the minimum required size did not change so i still have to craft the same size of portal so yeah there is that

And i also have to be sure that i don’t accidentally create problems here yeah okay so that actually should suffice me just fine for what i’m aiming to do so let’s go let’s place the water right there okay bam let’s go let’s place a bit of lava right there

Okay bam there we go the i i hope this will be enough i think it will be so let’s go ahead and let’s uh let’s let’s obsidian that up okay okay and let’s place our water back all right i’m gonna need a bit better access to the lava here um just just for

The time being okay bam okay let’s go and let’s place this back let’s uh let’s jump right here if we can okay so now what i have to do is i have to very quickly place that and then do that so that’s what we do for that and

Now we’re man this challenge is amazing i love it i love this challenge all right so let’s go and let’s place lava there um i wish there was another place i could just place it okay so now i’m gonna go and i’m gonna close that up i’m gonna go ahead and i’m gonna

Do oh i need to be very very careful here with where i’m about to place this water okay so bam let’s go ahead and let’s do that that that there we go it’s gonna get a little bit harder from here let’s go and let’s place our water back i

Probably should protect the water too because that’s going to be just as important this is uh this is crazy guys this is truthfully a little bit crazy what i am doing here we’re going to the nether without ever crafting a pickaxe i really think this

Might be a game first i mean aside from obviously creative mode but i think this might be a game first i mean who’s who’s crazy enough to do this i am because we can and it’s awesome and stuff yeah oh my god all right so there’s that is

That and i know that i’m also gonna have to do this a little bit more um because okay actually yeah wait a minute let’s see here so what i probably should do is get the obsidian set up there first so let’s go ahead okay wait a minute

Let’s uh let’s get this blocked off too so let’s go and let’s snag a bit of lava so i need to go and i need to dig this up okay there’s that bit right there okay um i guess that was the dirt or something so let’s do that okay that

That oh god i could be in trouble here okay uh whoops that didn’t work out as well as i wanted it to okay all right hang on let’s snag the water here i don’t think i’m totally trapped and the lava over there is still secure okay so let’s let’s actually um let’s

Actually disintegrate this lava here so let’s go ahead and let’s mine this up just like this that didn’t work the way that i wanted it to at all at all so bam okay bam let’s is that disintegrated no okay now i think it’s disintegrated bam okay now that is disintegrated but don’t

Pour in on me bro wow i can’t that that that failed miserably that miserably failed the best way is to get above it but yeah look at all of the stone around me that made this fail so hard all right bro whoops i didn’t mean to guys i’m so sorry for

Everything i still have the water in my inventory though so that’s good okay let’s um let’s assess the situation here let’s let’s let’s make it work let’s do it right let’s do it right yeah unfortunately i am gonna have to mine up all of the stone that’s up here

But i i didn’t want to do it but i know now that i have to do it so yeah let’s go ahead and let’s just get it done um i was really trying to shortcut that i was gonna place the lava next to water but i don’t think the way that i was

Placing it was gonna allow for it to turn into obsidian which is why everything just kind of herp derped so yeah fail on so many levels so many levels just so many levels across the sky that failed oh my god so we we have gone about doing

This for a few minutes now um all right so let’s go ahead and let’s place the water back down okay let’s go and let’s do this let’s uh let’s go and let’s snag some more lava i did have to disintegrate that unfortunately but well let’s just let it let’s just let it

Be done okay so now i need to place that wait a minute so where do i so that’s one two three so the lava needs to be placed there which actually means i’m safe standing here and then i need to place one above it i think that’s the

Case yes one two three and then that so then that and then that yes okay there we go so that’s good i however will not be safe on this next one so i need to be a bit more careful here okay let’s go and let’s do that and

Let’s let’s let’s place that right there all right so now what i need to do is i need i can actually do this from down here is i need to place one right there bam bam and i need to move i need to move okay there we go we’re good we’re

Good okay bam and then let’s go and let’s get our water back here so now i have the two most difficult actually those may not be the two most difficult ones we’ll see okay so now that i got this right here i think i may want to try for this one

Right there but i’ll stand up like a block or something okay let’s see here let’s place down the water right there bam okay and there we go so i want to get that one going right there actually what if i place the water first and then the lava after that might actually work

Maybe i don’t know let’s try this let you know what let’s let’s give something a try here okay so i’m gonna place the lava back down right there i want to place the water right there place a block place a block right there i’m gonna place this down

Okay and then what i’m gonna do is i’m gonna place that bam wow that worked and now i just trap my water up there actually i didn’t really technically whoa what the oh it only dropped in that direction okay i’m not gonna argue what just happened um all right

This is taking way longer than expected because i don’t have a pickaxe but hey we’re we’re making this work guys we are we’re gonna do this up it’s gonna be amazing and this challenge is going to be like like no other all right let’s go and let’s place the

Water back let’s grab another little thing of lava there we go this really couldn’t have arranged itself any better so now actually wait i need to go ahead and i need to grab the water first okay actually what i probably should do this after getting the rest of these in place okay

Let’s go ahead and let’s do that that and then like that or something okay did that work no i think i just trapped the lava in okay well oh god i see i could use actually let’s do this one right here let’s place the water right there and see what happens

Um because we’ll see here we’ll see so let’s just yeah let’s destroy this let’s get this place down this is way more boring than i expected ultimately there we go so now i want to do the same thing with this one right here so let’s

Go ahead and let’s snag a bit of lava um actually yeah no what i wanted to do first was to get this one in place so let’s go and let’s get the water in place here and then destroy it uh that right there okay there we go let’s do that and then

Destroy that bam okay now the water is really trapped up there but that’s okay i can just destroy this and get access to it again where everything’s gonna be okay guys everything’s gonna be just fine you oh god okay that’s not gonna destroy the lava whoo that scared me for a second quite

Badly actually all right so now the rest of this lava is it to to dispose of but let’s go and let’s just keep it here anyways as a sign of a relic of the events of today there we go bam oh yeah baby we are going to the nether without having ever

Ever crafted a pickaxe this is what it’s all about challenge completed in just over 20 minutes let’s see where it spawns us watch it like kills us immediately or something something cray like that whoa no this is a really this is a very open nether spawn very open netherspawn wow what was the

Point of this because we could because it’s probably never been done before but now it has so we have made it to the nether without ever ever crafting without having ever crafted a pickaxe let me just go and let me show you guys my game mode here you
