Empires 2: Medieval Lighthouse of Dawn – Minecraft 1.19 Let’s Play Ep.3

Oh hey welcome to a new episode everyone it’s nice to see you i was just uh doing some farming would you like to join me welcome to empires everyone i’m princess gem and this is my sun themed empire so far we have just sort of stumbled here

By chance and are trying to figure out where we belong and what our destiny is we know that there are 12 empires and we know that the dragon in the end is missing we also know that below my empire lies a very dark and mysterious

Area and so we have a lot of work to do let’s get into the episode shall we Between episodes i’ve been here at my docs doing a little bit of fishing and as you can see i’ve actually gotten some fairly good items look at this bow we’ve also got a saddle a name tag and this really epic book kodo fishing could be so productive i’ve learned a ton from

The sheriff’s bravery in the last episode and so i decided to take on mining again this time i avoided the darkness and managed to keep towards the upper caves i still however managed to find a diamond luckily i’ve now got five beautiful shiny diamonds which happens

To be the exact amount that i need for a diamond pick and an enchanting table an enchanting table just requires some leather from the cows at the barn and also some paper from the sugar cane we’ve been growing down here there we go luckily we’ve got tons of leather look at that

Thank you cows the bees have also been really busy and we have so much honeycomb produced this barn was such a good idea now we’ll just need to craft up some books and some bookshelves let’s see you’ve got lots of books and then we need our diamonds oh i

Almost forgot we need obsidian of course uh where am i gonna get obsidian i’ll just put these things in here for now i didn’t see any big lava pools when i was underground with jimmy so i guess my next best bet is to go exploring a bit

And see if i can find some above ground lava shouldn’t be too difficult i got this oh here’s an abandoned portal this is perfect this has obsidian just gotta get my diamond axe out and oh hey cool there’s some stuff right in here i can’t believe i’ve never seen this before oh ow

Oops my bad i’ll break some of this crying obsidian too it’s pretty okay i think i can leave the rest of this here because i have 16 obsidian and that should do it i’ll put some of our extra items in here oh and this one goes

In the treasure chest okay there we go an enchanting table oh i’m so excited to finally have enchants and of course we’ll need some bookcases to go along with that oh maybe a few more great well i’ve got 36 levels so i suppose now i just need a place to put

This enchanting table i kind of feel like the place where we do our enchantment should be somewhere special not a simple place like a barn or a starter house but something else maybe this island over here would be perfect for the job we’ll just need a little

Bridge here and then we can do all our enchanting out here on this rock it’s got the perfect view of my empire this’ll do we’ll just plop that right there there is that level 30. it is perfect i’ve got two to spare we’ll save those all right our first enchant let’s give

It a shot oh just efficiency four son you’re no luck today that’s okay i popped a little chest out here so we can store some stuff and we also definitely need a grindstone i mean some enchants are just not really worth keeping sorry pickaxe let’s try again

Oh we rolled silk touch that’s so useful this is perfect oh thank you son i forgive you this little enchanting setup on the rocks is perfect only thing i need now is to decorate it with something and we’ll also need a path to it of course got sleep sleep nailed it

I’ll just fix up a little bit of the terrain in order to make a bridge we’re definitely gonna need some more spruce luckily this giant tree group i’ve taken the time to smooth out this lovely little path that connects down here and can either go to our dock area

And eventual ports and also over here where i think we’ll do a little bridge i imagine after all if we had ships coming in they would come from this much deeper canal rather than this one so i think a bridge here would work some of the sugar

Cane will have to move and i think we’ll connect it from this level right here i wanted to just have a simple curve so that our basic chest boats and things could still go under this honestly seems like it would work also making some quick deep slate slabs because i think

They would look great as a border then some simple support beams on either side this seems like a pretty good shape for a bridge now all we gotta do is add a little bit of railing so here is our bridge and it’s full glory getting us

From one side to the other perfectly and there’s something very important about this update that i want to show you look at this you can waterlog leaves now this used to not be a thing at least not on java edition so now we can have so much prettier waterways with leaves all

Throughout them this is fantastic news and this bridge looks absolutely beautiful if i do say so myself wait what is that huh cute do you do you think i should go look at it seems like it’s calling me why is it calling me towards this cave huh hello whoa ouch hey

So my lore get out of here hey look there’s another and a banner is this what it’s leading me to this place is pretty spooky let’s see i wonder if this is meant to be the banner of my empire it looks right it looks very sunny and a little dark

Right uh let’s get out of this spooky cave shall we let’s go ahead and make a few copies of it here we go ah it’s beautiful like it’s meant for my empire maybe the wisps are onto something maybe they’re leading me to something something important i know

What i need to do now i feel like i’m definitely on the right path we need to let everyone know what this place stands for and to let them know about the sun and i’m going to do that by building a lighthouse right out there on the rocks

Just gonna need a little stone for this mission okay after a little bit of mining with my silk touch we have a little bit of stone and hopefully everything that we need i just remembered as well we also have a mending book we got this from

Sausage along with the goat horn i’ll uh cut to that clip now oh hey sausage hello you look like you were dazed off looking into the future yeah i was i was just thinking about this wolf oh that’s lovely oh what a lovely array of colors too yeah

Sunset or sunrise depending on which direction you’re facing it’s it’s it’s noon yeah it’s noon i need honeycomb no honeycomb i got honeycomb don’t worry oh oh give me give me give me kimmy wait is this a trade yeah of course it’s a trade i got stuff for you but you know what

I got something also very very awesome you can have as well really okay watch this i got one today it took me only 14 hours to get it whoa what is that i got two of them and they’re the same one you can have one too wait whoa

This is our alliance official horn okay don’t let anybody else use this okay It’s perfect okay there you go over here here something even more valuable mending mending you know i don’t even have an anvil yet but that’s perfect i’m sure i’ll be able to use that yes it’s fine once you get one just make sure whenever we do any trade

You need to blow the horn okay okay our alliances are strong and this empire is going to be even stronger i didn’t just close the door in my face it’s fine it’s fine let’s go build this lighthouse so that everybody knows that my empire is here i absolutely love this

Rocky spot out here it kind of reminds me of newfoundland where i’m from we have very rocky coasts here and they often do have lighthouses on them so i’m gonna pull a little bit of inspiration from that although this is not going to be a modern lighthouse it’s going to be

Fairly rustic and medieval looking hopefully i’m hoping we can sort of build it into this cliff of course with it being the base of a lighthouse i think we’ll start off in this sort of rough circular shape i think this could end up being pretty cool i’m gonna get a

Furnace over here in this little work area because i think some cracked stone bricks would look ethic and you put those in a furnace some mossy blocks would also look really awesome in the texturing here but unfortunately i don’t really have any of those but when we get

Some we can definitely make it look mossy oh sunset sleep morning sun okay here’s some of our cracked stone brick okay the cracked stone brick definitely makes a big difference i like that yep that’s looking pretty good so far everyone i think it’s time lapse time let’s build this thing Well i think i did it i think that is a beautiful lighthouse if i’ve ever seen one now we just have to work on the finishing details right sheeps one of the very important things that this lighthouse is definitely missing is a big banner of course we have our little

Banner that we found in the cavern but i also want a big version of it right there so we just need some fences perfect and then a bunch of wool to build them out of hopefully this will be a good size for a banner i think it’ll

Work we just have to make it look like it’s flowing in the wind importantly in a minecraft build where there’s no wind this also decides the direction of the wind for us and i think i’m gonna have the wind going inland that way so off of the ocean in towards

The mountain valley that looks pretty good i think and while we’re up here how about we also just put in some quick stained glass windows i think yellow stained glass windows works so well for this theme i’m so impressed with it maybe just some little window details as well

Yeah why not yep that’s pretty good if i do say so myself it just needs a couple of maybe like barrels and things around this area would make it look a lot better i think that looks pretty good it’s a little bit more rustic down at the bottom now there’s things laying out

Around like you would need for work out here it’s perfect of course it’s also got a campfire up at the top to indicate to any ships coming in that there’s a big jagged rocks here very important now i haven’t exactly decided what i want the interior to look

Like but we have a basic sort of floor and we could just scatter around some barrels and things in here and of course the main function will be this enchanting room i feel like while we’re in here i should probably take a second and just do some basic level one

Enchants on some of this armor after all it could save my life someday you never know i wanna definitely take a second and decorate my lovely lighthouse out there so i’m just gonna grab some quick flowers so that we can put them on the inside and of course if we’re having

Flowers we’ll need some pots now let’s go ahead and give this interior some love i’m going to create a carpet here but i think i’m gonna do it with some regular wool as well just to add a little bit of interest to it and some shape

So you get that little bit of depth in the rug and i really like that i’m never exactly sure what i’m doing on an interior but i’ve gotten sort of okay at just winging it honestly if you just spend enough time and put enough details into something it sort of just ends up

Working out now uh this base is a little awkward i think we’re just gonna shove these books backwards a bit yeah this looks a little cleaner i think this might be weird but i’m gonna just happily mix in some birch here let it be a little rustic why not

All it needs now is a lantern and this room is complete i think this is so pretty i would happily come in here and do my enchanting and then we’ve got sort of some simple workstations throughout the lighthouse sleeping quarters upstairs and we exit simply through here and can walk home

I like it i’m happy with this area you know what maybe it’s time we finally get a name for this place i mean it’s got three structures now a barn a house and a lighthouse and i feel like it is fate that i landed here since we have

Those banners now maybe that’s a sign it’s time to make it official everyone i would like to name this empire dawn dawn like the sunrise that rises over the ocean over here now i i know this name probably overlaps with some other names in literature but i like it i like

It for my little minecraft empire so i’m gonna have it it’s gonna be called dawn simple as that i suppose it is after all the dawn of a new empire making up several meetings it’s very smart of me i think and well with that everyone i do think

That’s all for this episode thank you so much for all the support i hope that you’re enjoying this empire i’m so proud of our little empire of dawn with our farms and our bees and now our brilliant lighthouse of course we’re going to have lots more

Still to do so stay tuned and subscribe if you haven’t already i’ll see you all in the next episode bye You
