EPIC SECRET IRON FARM REVEALED! Hardcore Minecraft

Hey everybody welcome back to a brand new episode of our hardcore let’s play series I hope you guys are all having a great day today so I hope that everybody had a safe New Year’s and New Year’s Eve uh I know I had a lot of fun during

Those times and took a few days off we are back and ready to go so the first we are doing in today’s episode is going to the nether because we want to get stuff for potions and to get prepared to go to the end soon from there we’re going to

Be making a brand new build in our area with a super secret Farm inside of it that’s really simple and easy for you to make and we’re also going to be talking about some stuff that we want to build moving into the future of the series

It’s going to be awesome so before we do anything else though let’s go ahead and update the hardcore Diamond challenge for those of you who don’t know what this challenge is anytime we get a sub until the end of Jan January 2024 we will mine a single diamond for each of

Them so a lot of people have asked when I’m going to start this once we know the final number is when I’m going to begin my preparations for doing all the work now when we started this challenge we had 8,940 subs and our current subscriber count at the time of recording is

85,500 holds about 3450 so we’re a little under a double chest of full diamonds right now which is pretty insane if you think about it but that’s that’s awesome guys thank you so much for subscribing to the channel it really means the world to me so

Before we do anything in the nether I actually went caving off camera and I have another video uploaded that’s unlisted you can find that in the description of this video and this is all of our updated ores since then so take it in look at it cherish it look at

All of our diamonds unfortunately a lot of those diamonds are going to be sacrificed to the hardcore challenge so it’s not going to matter regardless but so another thing that I need to ask you guys is I I want to do a giveaway so I have these uh signed hermac craft TCG

Like slabbed cards I’ll put a picture of it on the screen right now for you and I was trying to think of the best way to do a giveaway I was thinking maybe about doing it on YouTube and just having people that are subscribed have a chance

To win but I don’t really know the best way to handle this and not a lot everybody has Twitter so it’s like how do I do this what do you guys think is sort of the best method to give these things away let me know down in the

Comment section below so my objective coming into The Nether today is primarily a nether fortress this guy is eyeballing me bro you better leave me alone so to give you guys some reference to where we are in the nether the portal that I used to come into the nether is

Over there right by him this is the original portal that we came into in the first first episode so if you remember we found a Bastion that Bastion is right there so that means that the original nether portal that we found is way over that way probably a th000 blocks I’m not

Doing that so I think I’m actually going to go back the way I came and hopefully hopefully find another Fortress there because I’m not trying to go over Basalt Deltas to find another Fortress so let’s hope that we can find one well I think I’m doomed to go to Nether fortresses

That are in Basalt Deltas apparently this is a different nether fortress that is in another Delta in terms of location of where we are from where the portal is um about 300 blocks that way so still still in a Delta unfortunately let’s see if we can get lucky first kill first

Skull first kill first skull a come on that’s no fun okay well at least we know that we have a a a blaze spawner right here I got to go oh got to I got to go I got got to go oh my God that was so

Sketchy I should have brought a bow oh my Lord okay well there’s loot I’m going over here oh God the nether is kind of terrifying guys but it’s also very fun I like the nether ooh unfortunately this Fortress is not very good the interior of this one doesn’t have any Nether wart

So I think I’m going to have to go somewhere else because if this is the interior it goes nowhere so that’s real unfortunate so have I mentioned how much I hate the nether oh okay sure sure I um I haven’t been able to find another Fortress yet so I

Am uh I am currently in this weird Ravine thing and apparently getting hot tourist destination that’s actually hilarious I man the nether is just beating me down today guys it’s brutal dude I’m getting shot getting shot at it’s been bad but we found our second Fortress I’m excited about that our

Current cords for those following along 568 142 good luck getting here because it was a huge pain so hopefully this Fortress has some nether warts and some good stuff like I said I do think I’m probably just going to make another portal and head back that way because I

Am not going back what I had to go through to get here that’s sounds awful well that’s one of our missions accomplished thank God so this Fortress Is much much better not only have I been able to get the blaze rods that I needed the interior of this one is much larger too

So oh I hate the nether so much I just popped another totem I got lucky I didn’t get more dead than I already should be oh my God that was so sketchy I was trying to get over there ran into the lava and then got shot by this Blaze

And then another Blaze that was awful okay well the nether has been a terrible experience as always I hate the nether so much but uh to make sure that I don’t die I think what I’m going to do is I’m going to collect as much gold as I can

We have fortune 3 which means we should be able to get a solid amount I’m going to go over there I’m going to make myself a crafting table I’m going to barter with piglins and I’m going to go back to the Overworld like that because

I am not dying in the nether today it’s not happening I don’t care oh my God I am free oh that’s so beautiful I’m so excited dude I have been in the nether for like 45 minutes trapped here trying to get the gold to get out of this place

I’m so excited to leave oh my god I’ve never been so excited to leave the nether in my my life dude you’d have no idea how stressed I’ve been it’s so bad oh my God by the way we got some pretty gnarly trades though look we got five

Ender pearls we got a soul speed three a soul speed one bunch of potions like like a bunch of good leather so not all bad not all bad a little just a lot bad not all totally bad a lot bad so on the other side we are at –

4600 so the the journey is not over yet we still have to get home and home is about 4,000 blocks away so let’s uh let’s just get going I think so I’m finally back I made it I I got to be honest with you guys that was like

Probably one of the most brutal runs to the nether that I ever had we ran out of food we popped our totem for thousands of blocks away we were really pushed to the Limit I’m happy that I survived but dude I should never have put myself in

That situation to begin with here’s kind of the result of that armor Beat to Death um I did find a pyramid I also got some some cactus from a desert um so we found two rib two Dune we got a bunch of potions uh Nether wart things that we

Needed so it wasn’t like a total failure but it was very very rough so I was probably in the nether for about an hour and a half and I was probably stranded there for about 45 minutes at least with without a totem oh I’m so happy to be back all

Right so moving on with the video it is time to start collecting all of our material and getting our iron farm SL secret iron farm built now in the first episode I showed you guys how I designed things and how I went about the process of uh choosing the aesthetic for our

Builds now that we have that aesthetic made up it’s time to start showing you other things that I normally wouldn’t show that’s a collection of the materials now this is actually a pretty straightforward process uh if you use anything like light matica or world edit for example light manica especially you

Can hit M on your keyboard and so we have our iron farm loaded in the world so we’re ready to build it but this thing has this great feature that shows you kind of everything that you need so what I’m doing is I’m gathering the base materials and before I build I’m going

To just craft everything that I need so got Moss I’ve already got Stone I’m cooking stone brick and everything like that right now uh and I wanted to show this because I felt like this was something that’s not really shown a lot but something that has to be done and

It’s just one of those grindy things that are kind of kept off camera so if you want to see more sort of behind the scenes things like this let me know and this is what it would look like on the opposite end of the spectrum if you’ve already collected everything and you use

That type of list thing so this is everything that we would need for the build and then uh just a little bit of miscellaneous stuff in and everything that went into it so a lot of work to get to this point and often times it’s not really shown to get started with our

Super secret iron farm now that we have all of our materials the first thing that we need to do is we need to get villagers we’re going to need three villagers with any iron farm the setup is pretty easy you just need to have a platform to kill the gollem um an area

For the villagers and an area for the zombie the only thing that’s really really important to keep in mind is that the villagers have to sleep in the beds before the villagers do anything else otherwise your Farm’s not going to work so once they call that home then we’re

Good to go so the game plan here is get the villagers here build the farm section of this kind of give you guys a small tutorial then we’re going to do a time lapse and I’ll include the terraforming as well as the rest of the building so we’re going to hit this

Village over here and grab villagers cuz it’s like right across the water it’s a little bit easier rather than going all the way back to the snow area so let’s do it secret tunnel secret tunnel rough tie today man rough tide even more secret tunnel all right it’s time to start the technical

Version of our farm it’s very simple you’re going to have a very easy time with this so first thing that I have done is I have made a platform now the platform in the block choice is arbitrary as long as your platform is at least seven blocks off the ground you’re

Fine you’ll be okay other than that all you need to do first things first we need to get our beds down this is where the villagers are going to track to um we also need to make sure that there are absolutely no spawn spaces so let me

Place some blocks down to give you kind of an idea of where that’s going to be blocked at okay so in this formation I’m going to be using glass now again this is literally just to stop spawning has no other purpose so I’m going to go ahead and place some blocks down here

Then I’m going to grab some composters you can use any type of uh workstation just as long as it’s a block and you can place it you’re good to go um from there we just need to we’ll use some slabs right here I don’t have any with me but

When I come back up here I will put them there so we need to get our villagers into this spot uh before we do anything else so I have a bell with me and they’re going to track to these stations they’re all down right there so I need

To free them and get them up Here all right so there wasn’t too bad one of the villagers was being kind of obnoxious but otherwise we’re good to go so we have our three villagers locked in this cage here basically they’re standing on their beds there’s a block there and a half slab there all the way

Across then we have iron trap doors from there the zombie is going to stand in this spot right here so there are blocks uh half slabs here blocking the zombie from getting in and then there’s glass above we’ll probably have to clear some of that out to actually get the zombie

In when we’re ready to go but it’s a very simple setup let’s go ahead and do the killing chamber now once you have your villagers locked in you have your iron trap doors and your slabs down go ahead and bring your Hoppers up to that same level from there we’re going to

Want to grab our stairs here and here sorry my voice is like on the edge of losing itself all right so then we’re going to grabb some fences or these are actually walls sorry so then we’re just going to go all the way around all right

So from the backside wall just place any blocks down just as long as they’re solid it doesn’t matter above the stairs make sure that you Place Glass down then continue your walls down the sides the back portion of the wall like here should be solid block so let’s get the

Walls down on the other side here so here here here here then it can be solid block so for now we will just use stone brick just like so and it should look just like this so again build up the sidewalls a little bit more then we’re going to go ahead

And grab some trap door and run them across the top here from there we should be able to place our lava in the center and it’ll flow but not go anywhere else now I’m actually going to remove the lava from here from now for now because

I want to be able to build without losing blocks in there so the game plan is to get the building built then lava then zombie and then we should have a working iron farm so I’ll kind of go over everything a little bit more once we’re finished but I hope you guys enjoy

Enjoy this time Lapse N Yeah All right I hope you guys enjoyed that time lapse this building uh everything about this building was a struggle man the building of it the designing of it the the figuring out the farm inside of it it was a tough project we’re not necessarily done just yet but I will go

Ahead and give you kind of an update on what we got I built some more trees finished the pathway to it so we’re just just you know we’re just about there we’re really close so the first thing that we’ve got to do now now that this

Thing is built o there’s a lot of mobs underneath up there let’s go ahead and get into the inside of this thing and finish up the killing chamber first so let’s get in here we need to place some more signs down can’t believe I forgot

These that a that would have been a huge problem so we place the lava right in the center it should flow to the side perfect perfect we’re good there okay so now let’s go here and then here and and we need to water log the stair here and

Here and then jump out so perfect perfect okay we’re good now so let’s close this thing up for good now there there and then I will finish that up I got to get that all back together so now it is time to get the zombie in so my

Plan for the zombie is pretty straightforward first thing I’m going to do is just name a name tag I think H let’s do zombie face that’s seems appropriate then let’s grab an ender pearl there we go sorry about my voice man it’s like almost gone all right so

The game plan is to just kind of walk in there and then have one of them follow me and then kind of take some damage I know that there’s mobs underneath of us but there sounds like there’s a lot of them so I may try to find a zombie from

Somewhere else I think all right Mr zombie face let’s do it man let’s do it so he’s going to come in and then I’m going to just block him okay he’s blocked ender pearl out and you heard those the the Golem too oh we got an iron baby let’s go oh

That was so sketchy all right let’s go inside and sleep real fast so you heard the Gollum in there dying That’s so exciting so let’s go ahead and get this thing all buttoned up right so let’s see first things first another piece of glass there to completely seal him off

Then we don’t want any blocks inside of here so let’s just take our stone brick there and then grab a button place it there uh and then we’re good to go so we can go downstairs now and see if our iron is populating inside of our um our

Chest that we made so let’s get rid of all this real fast man so the reason for the iron farm right like I’m sure people are kind of curious uh I have a I have a plan there there is a plan there’s very much a plan the plan is um sorry the the

Plan is iron farm cactus farm furnace farm that way we can make an XP furnace Farm because I don’t want to make like a different XP farm this time so we’re already getting iron that is amazing I am so excited for that uh oh look at

This guy bro what are you what are you doing brother all right well let’s go a and take a look at it in uh in this mode up here see if we can catch one of the Golems nothing in there but as you can see they’re panicking there’s the gollum

Oh it’s beautiful it’s beautiful I tell you I’m so excited I got to be honest with you guys man this episode beat me up I’m not going to lie to you like I I lost the totem in the nether the nether was like super super rough and I’m so

Happy that this came together in a good manner really like the design of this and uh just overall feeling pretty good about it um so one thing I do want to mention is that I’m sorry for the delay between videos I um was not feeling very

Well so I went to Urgent Care and I had low potassium and it was making me feel like all sorts of ways and then like there was like New Year’s Eve and so lots and lots of stuff was happening and so I’m feeling good now and we’re back

On track and so next episode I kind of want to get a beacon but I also kind of want to go to the end too I don’t know we’ll see we’ll see what happens what do you guys think what should we do maybe we should just make a cactus farm and just be

Happy anyways let’s check on our farm a little bit more there we go perfect perfect so excited about that man so anyways if you guys enjoyed today’s episode make sure you hit the like button and subscribe and I hope you guys all have a great day thank you all so
