Decorating for Minecraft Halloween! 🎃 ▫ The Minecraft Survival Guide (Tutorial Let’s Play)[Part 246]

Hello everyone my name is pixel riffs and welcome back to the Minecraft Survival Guide if you guys are having a good day today’s episode is gonna be a spooky one or at least I plan on making it a little bit more in the spirit of Halloween which is coming up here in the

UK in the US and in other places that celebrate it now we don’t tend to go too crazy for Halloween around my neighborhood we get a few kids knocking on the door we get a few people trick-or-treating handing out candy that kind of stuff it’s always fun but in Minecraft

Especially on servers that I’ve been a part of it’s also kind of fun to celebrate in game a little bit and it gives you an excuse to dress up your world and see the world in a slightly different light and I feel like founders Forge needs a little bit more love in

This department specifically like I don’t really have that much time to spend on houses because I’ve been too busy making other videos and farms and that kind of stuff and of course we have our new population of pillagers are moving in and we have quite a lot of

Them at this point there are maybe 18 of the guys 17 or 18 just kind of hanging out over here waiting to be re-homed to redistribute it into these houses around here so I thought what I would do is do a little bit of a rehoming episode for the pillagers the friendly Pilcher’s

We’re going to nametag a bunch of those and then we’re going to decorate founders forge with a little bit more spooky stuff we’re maybe going to build a couple more houses and of course we want to make sure that we’ve got the Halloween spirit in full swing we all

Need lots of pumpkins which I’ve been growing in the automatic pumpkin farm we built a few episodes ago we’ve got plenty of orange and black wool and that kind of stuff we can make some lanterns I think we can decorate this place a treat and hopefully get the town at

Looking a little bit more like a town and this of course means I have to get my Halloween costume on so this year I’m gonna go as a creeper I think that’s probably the scariest thing I can think of appearing in my world all of a sudden

So I guess I’ll pop a mob head on and do that let’s see what else we can put around of course we got magma blocks and stuff like that they feel very Halloweeny with the kind of orange and black thing they’ve got going on already I don’t want to spam obsidian around

Everywhere cuz that’s going to be a lot of work to tidy up but in the wall chests here yet plenty of black wool or some orange wool coming in as well and we have the wolf farm which has actually recently run out of shears so as you can see the Sheep

Are now currently whoa okay bit of a lag spike there I was always flying in the sheep are currently all completely woolly and that is because the shears have now finally run out after however long this has been going we no longer have any shears left in this dispenser

So I should probably restock that at some point with some iron from the iron fun but in terms of orange wool we’ve got nearly a full chest here we’ve got some black wall up there as well we can probably mix in a little bit of gray if

We want to and I don’t know maybe we could name tag a few zombies and just have them patrolling the area we’ll see but now pumpkin farm is a great way to start getting ourselves in the spirit of things and I have been trading a bunch of these pumpkins off-camera but even so

We have ourselves a pretty a pretty nice set of pumpkins here and I think we could probably come up with a quick farm design to help us share these pumpkins nice and quickly all right let’s see this shouldn’t be too complicated we’re gonna be placing our pumpkins here we’ll

Have an observer facing this way like so detecting when we place the pumpkin down we’re gonna have shears in one hand and pumpkins in the other hand so we can place it and share it very quickly then this is gonna wrap around here we’ll take some redstone dust out of this like

So a repeater facing that way and then we’ll take a piston facing downwards like so if I can just get that yes there we go perfect so now I should just be able to place a pumpkin shear a pumpkin and we can figure out the delay there we

Go oh and it’s making a clock oh that’s a problem yeah let’s take the easier option then of just powering the pumpkin from below because I’m pretty sure that a pumpkin yes it will conduct redstone current and that just allows us to place a piston there and it will immediately

Break the pumpkin now the question is how much delay do we need before we can okay yeah no it’s gonna need a little bit of delay let’s move that to three ticks yes there we go okay and now we have a pumpkin carving farm just like

That alright maybe we can reduce that to two ticks let’s see if that works no okay that is just a little bit too fast so three tick repeater and just look at the top of that redstone torch and we should be able to carve all of these

Pumpkins nice and quickly a little bit of time and a whole lot of pumpkin seeds later I have myself a bunch of stacks of carved pumpkins too so just go with full stacks half of which we can turn into jack-o’-lanterns and the other half of which we can keep

Complete pumpkins and we can probably also bring some regular pumpkins around I have a few more of them left over in this farm here as well which is still going by the way and yeah we should be able to get our decorations on now I think we are probably going to do a

Little bit of building because I want to have some houses that I can even decorate in the first place and for that I want to be able to move some pillages around and move them into their new dwellings so I think I’m gonna head over to founders Forge and for once in this

Series I’m gonna get some building done so of course we can always do this in the form of a time-lapse Hey folks welcome back I hope you enjoyed the time-lapse our work in founders Forge is far from done but we do have a couple more houses now we’ve got this one here which the first one I built its kind of odd doing angled builds and I’m still not quite happy

With this I still need to do a little bit more detail work around the outside but at least we’ve got a nice little floor in here and I guess we could go up to the next floor using scaffolding but I’m trying to avoid putting in like some really detailed second floors to these

Builds because for a start I’m not gonna use them all that much and secondly I don’t think we’re even gonna get the pillages up here either they don’t really climb ladders I have a feeling they might climb scaffolding a little bit if they just got stuck in this

Corner of the room and tried to path find upwards but that’s really not gonna be super necessary and I kind of want to be able to wander in or wonder past these builds and see the pillages just kind of wandering around inside as though they are going about their day so

I’m not gonna worry too much about the interiors of these things for right now at least and in here this is actually a house I’m really really happy with I like the style it’s kind of different to the other houses around here but in here we’ve got a similar kind of thing we’ve

Got this sort of winding layout and there’s lots of different chambers of this house that we could go into we got this little Sun lounge area around the back where it’s got all these nice open windows a solarium of sorts and each floor kind of has its own shape to it

Which is kind of nice we’ve got a few different doorways that you can travel through over here that take you out to a couple of other areas but those are kind of low kind of nice little storage rooms like that nice little roofed areas that

We can just tuck stuff away in if we want to we all get to start moving some of the pillages into their houses I put doors on some of these houses as well so there’s a couple of smaller dwellings in here that we can always use for the

Villages as well and I kind of feel like we need to get this place in the Halloween vibe right about now which is why I have this schalke box here this one has a bunch of Halloweeny supplies we’ve got dark oak and acacia fences and fence gates we’ve got lanterns that we’ve got

Jack-o’-lanterns and carved pumpkins we’ve got tons of black and orange wool a little bit of gray as well and in my inventory I have some orange banners and I’m gonna do something pretty special with those in just a minute here I’ve also got some iron bars because if

We’re hanging stuff up by the fences and so forth I feel like iron bars might also work pretty well but what I plan to do with these is kind of string them loosely between the corners of buildings and the roofs of buildings so that we have this kind of pattern of like

Banners and stuff hanging down from between the houses suspended as though they’re on like washing lines or fish wire or something like that kind of drooping down giving the impression that this place is being decorated with flags and bunting and pennants and that kind of stuff and right now the Sun is going

Down and I kind of want to keep a Halloweeny atmosphere so I’m actually gonna do game rule do daylight cycle false and we are gonna freeze the daylight cycle here at a time of day when I’m pretty sure hostile mobs aren’t going to be able to spawn but right now

We can do our work and yes this is cheating a little bit I will admit but I kind of want to have a slightly glowy Halloweeny atmosphere to this episode and the next couple of episodes so forgive me this I’m not gonna do any mob farming I’m not gonna

Do anything that’s gonna exploit the day/night cycle if anything what’s the time right now if I do a time query daytime what is the daytime right now twelve six one six okay I can probably move that on if I add maybe like 384 to that that right there I think is a on

The very edge of when hostile mobs would start to spawn but I don’t think they will right now and if I see them I might have to move the time on a little bit more but I yeah I don’t see any of them spawning so I think this is around the

Darkest we’ll have it go before we end up getting some hostile mobs spawning so I’m not gonna mess with it too much speaking of us all mobs these guys need to be rode into the houses but yeah I’m not gonna mess with the time too much but I like this Twilight atmosphere and

I kind of want to use that in the next couple of videos if we’re gonna be eating some Halloween’s sort of related stuff so yeah like I said I’m not planning on really doing it as a cheat I’m not gonna exploit this in any way I just wanted to feel atmosphere

And that’s kind of the only way I can do this right now let’s use the scaffolding to get up a little bit higher and let’s see if we can string a few acacia fences from here over to maybe this corner here if I can yeah okay great that looks

Perfect so let’s bring this down slightly let’s have a kind of zigzag over here and I feel like it needs to droop a little bit more for it to look a little more realistic so let’s bring this down a little bit and connect the two of them like so okay yeah I think

That works I think that works as a little string let’s kind of get some lanterns under here as well yeah okay feeling the Halloween atmosphere a little bit here and maybe alternating on these between the lanterns we can have the Halloween colors that black and orange wool yes oh this is gonna look

Really nice I think maybe not there though oh yeah no I like that a lot I like that a great deal okay let’s let’s string up a few more of these will obviously leave this house out though the whole decorating thing for now because yeah we’re not gonna be able to

Do anything much with this house but let’s get one going from over here on this side maybe yep okay we’ll string that up to here and I don’t use acacia wood all that much but today I am absolutely feeling it and I think it really really goes well with the rest of

The Halloween decorations we have planned let’s pop a jack-o’-lantern in the middle of there perfect okay a little bit of black wool dangling here and there being a little bit picky about where I place some of this just because I don’t want to have the blocks sitting really

Obviously side by side around here but yeah we’ll have a lantern up there yes already already I’m feeling this pretty again this this is the stuff I want to avoid I want to avoid having the the fences and iron bars kind of connecting to stuff in a really obvious way these

Are meant to be like dangling down from there in fact now I’ve got all of this stuff arranged around the outside here part of me wants to say we’re gonna take this house out much I don’t want to remove a little residence from this place I kind

Of want to remove this and have maybe a little kind of Park area or something something that like has a square or a fountain or something in this area because these feel like the kind of doors that you could go door to door trick or treat

Ting hat and that totally it makes sense for the kind of vibe I want to set for this little Halloween festival are we throwing in founders forge so yeah you know what I like that a lot better now that it’s open we’ve got the path going

Around the outside so it does feel like we could have some sort of little fountain in the middle there but that also resolves the problem I was gonna have of dragging the pillager through here in a boat so I think maybe we could have like maybe a little whale or

Something in the middle here are wishing well if some kind would be super nice and that does open up access to this Harrison it means you can see the front of this house I thought that house was gonna be super concealed once we built whatever house was here so yeah I’m a

Little bit happier about that I like that that really gives this town a little bit more of a cozy vibe to this area and the Enderman is not really helping that again I don’t think hostile mobs are going to be spawning on the surface right now especially not with us

Spamming all of these light sources around but I do think a couple of them are spawning in caves underground and that’s probably what caused that Enderman to pop up all right let me string up some more of these I already love this so much I’m really

Really happy at this it’s just a few fences and a little bit of black and orange wool but already I’m feeling the festive spirit and yeah I think having it be dusk time right now is definitely adding to the mood I like it a lot okay

So I’m gonna start moving some of the pillages into some of these houses obviously right now they need a little bit of rowing around but I think we should be able to create a nice path to a couple of these houses for them that’s not really going to mean they have too

Much struggle getting around and otherwise we can probably just bring them over in mine cards or something like that if we need to run some rails over this place then we can let’s start with you my friend okay he’ll let’s row you over here a little bit and we are

Gonna have to do a little bit of shenanigans with the boats to get them up these first few steps which might involve me docking into here getting at my redstone box out and let’s see let’s grab a piston let’s grab a lever you know what we’re doing here folks

That’s right it’s a piston boat elevator and row him over on to the next block and we’ll keep doing this until we have him up in the the right place and one thing I hadn’t really counted on for it being a perpetually knight is that I now

Can’t sleep to get rid of the rain so I feel kind of bad about that Bay I guess we’ll deal with it now let’s get this guy into this house here I think because I can’t really row him any further than this without you know disturbing some of

The the ground around here I’m going to rope him off a little bit with some black wool to make sure he goes where we want him to go we’ll duck under here and we’ll chop him out of the boat like so and he should be up and hopefully we can

Move him in to this cozy little house and then we will have a pillager inside a house in founders forge this right here is gonna be your new home my friend enjoy it look at him exploring his house this is super cool and I wonder if he’s going to

Part find up the scaffolding okay it looks like he is just in the scaffolding but not moving around too much in it okay okay it looks like yeah he’s adapting to home life well this is good news I think the rain might actually be causing a few hostile mobs to spawn

Outside because of a slight decrease in light level you get while it’s raining I don’t think it’s a thunderstorm or anything I think it is just like it’s raining and dusk which adds up to enough of a decrease in light level that we are getting a few hostile mob spawns but

Hopefully we’ll be able to wait out the rain we’ll wait out the creepers and the spiders and I’ll get a few more of these guys moved over in fact in the meantime it might actually be an ideal time to show you guys the creepy banner design I

Had in mind as long as I have enough orange dye somewhere in oh I have loads fantastic okay so we are gonna start in fact we’re gonna start with a black banner although I’m pretty sure there is a variant of this you can make with

Orange as well and I’ll need a couple of sticks so that I can make black banners there we go perfect let’s grab a black banner from here and let’s go over to the loom with all of this orange dye oh and some red we will need a little bit

Of red yep got plenty of that in stock too fantastic now loads your black banner into the loom and add some red dye in a gradient pattern either upwards or downwards I’m gonna start with downwards but it doesn’t really matter all that much a base gradient like so

We’ll take that out and I guess we will copy this on to the other black banners so let’s not worry about that for now let’s pop the orange dye in and apply the following patterns you want the downwards facing triangle like this an inverted Chevron like so put that back

In the table you want to add one of these one of these base indented like that and already you can see how this is looking a little bit like a pumpkin mouth can’t you but the best is yet to come you want the oxide daisy pattern which

Apparently is not a pattern you just get in the loom so let’s grab an oxide Daisy and let’s make a pattern real first yeah it occurs to me that I have not done this yet actually so that’s probably worth having a bit of paper and an oxide Daisy makes you the flower charge

Pattern let’s pop that in there with our orange and our dye yes there we go fantastic and orange flower charge can go in then we add a stripe directly across the middle and we add a dot in the center and orange vest and an orange round or ant together they make what

Looks like to me at least a firework but instead a pretty spooky jack-o’-lantern banner I kinda wish I could put an orange border around the outside and there are probably other pumpkin banner designs that you could put up but if we put orange banners either side of that you kind of get the

General idea right and just like that we have a couple of spooky banners that we can add to the houses around the outside of founders forge here now let’s see where we can hang one of those up maybe on the wall there maybe it just needs a little bit of those atmospheric spooky

Banners yes there we go okay one there and maybe we’ll add one on our new friend’s home here as well let’s put one there okay opposite the jack-o’-lantern outside his door I think those look pretty great actually I really like that and while in the center there as well

Definitely getting in the Halloween spirit with this place now if only it would stop raining in fact it kind of looks equally creepy it looks almost like it’s a little um within if you do it with an orange banner start out with that red gradient and then follow

Exactly the same pattern so I think we could put a few more of these up as well let’s put one of those on the outside of the house here yeah all right I like that I like that and maybe one on the opposite side of the street like so

Beautiful okay we are definitely getting in the Halloween spirit this time these are not the kind of trick-or-treaters I want though these guys these guys can not get candy this year those guys are getting the worst candy they’re getting the candy corn this year none of no

Golden carrots for you no cookies for you I yeah I think I might have to take shelter until the rain stops huh finally a little bit of peace and quiet a little bit of break from the rain and I can actually take in what we’ve done to this

Little kind of town square I guess is what we have now and yeah I really like this I think this is great and we’re gonna apply a little bit more of this to found this Forge in the next few days I am gonna call it there though for this

Episode but hopefully this has given you a little bit of inspiration for how you can Tastefully your perhaps not so tastefully decorate your own build for the season and of course we could probably do this for other holidays and stuff as well but I felt like this was a

Good opportunity to do that and to start moving the pillagers in so that is gonna be it for this episode of the Minecraft Survival Guide thank you so much for watching my name has been pixel rifts don’t forget to leave a like on this episode if you enjoyed it subscribe
