Empires 2: Medieval Starter House – Minecraft 1.19 Let’s Play Ep.1

Hello everyone and welcome to empires a series with my friends where each of us will build up our very own empires and form alliances and enemies along the way this season we’ll have brand new characters a brand new world and brand new stories i can’t wait to show you it all

Ah a fresh new minecraft world this feels good and we’re in minecraft 119. Was me as with every new world the very first thing we must do is punch some wood let’s do it our very first tool the wooden pickaxe right now let’s go ahead and just get a little bit of cobblestone for a few tools to make this more efficient got an

Upgrade heck yeah okay perfect oh look there’s another player hi sausage hello what you doing huh i don’t know i already i’m already down three four hunger bars and two hearts i have no idea you just running around yep so sausage and i decided we would spend the first couple nights of

Minecraft together getting the first starting resources starting with caving look there’s iron oh my god i don’t even have stone tools yet i’m so underprepared oh my god look at this big giant hole yeah should we jump down that are you jumping down there oh my god you’re going down

There it’s all dead oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god brave adventurers look at this woman go we got shears we’re good we’re saved oh my give me your sheep i only got one wool so lame oh that is messed up after getting enough well we were saved and

Could finally sleep through the night and that’s when sausage had a fantastic idea you know what i got i’ve got a good mission for us in this in this beautiful beautiful day uh if it’s sunny out it’s not raining there’s no bad guys out we should try to get every single wood in

The game every single one every single all of them all the woods so at least we have saplings so we can have building material so our empires will grow big and strong everyone’s gonna be like wow these people got every wood in the game

I like that idea i can see a bunch of woods here we got oak we got birch we got acacia we got jungle and we got spruce this just need dark oak and mangrove and with that we decided we would set off going for the jungle wood and the spruce wood

First and then setting off on a mission to collect the rest as we searched for a mangrove swamp keep your eyes peeled sausage eyes peeled okay all the way peeled uh i can see great from far away great you’re asking the perfect person i’m like an eagle you can see everything mm-hmm

I have constant night vision too you see it your eyes peeled stop lying are you safe for me i can’t see nothing you see it it’s right there i race you to it let’s go i race oh god oh this place is pretty intense oh my god gem this is scary in there

There’s tropical fish oh look at me look at all the fish oh ah oh yes pretty i love it i love it oh this is going to be very nice look at the frog wow look ribbit oh my goodness cuties little frogs oh oh my god oh froggy baby

After fawning over the frogs for arguably way too long we decided it was time to collect what we needed and move along we found a couple of other things along the way such as some dark oakwood a ruined nether portal and also a shipwreck and then it was time to say goodbye

This is where we parkways sausage yes we are gone listen thank you for giving me stuff and for guiding me along my way and for not letting me die to weird things you’re welcome thanks for joining me we got all the wet types this is epic here

We’re like allies some of these now right we’re allies totally allies oh yes oh yes totally allies you will not be the first one that i murder cool that’s good i’m not murdering anybody though i’m a nice sweet man right please get me out of this ice it’s very

Cold and it’s going to be night time and we’re going to die fair enough yeah yeah all right goodbye goodbye this whole frost walker thing’s pretty convenient but you know what there’s actually something new in the game that could help me out a lot more with this

Problem look it’s an oak boat with a chest this is the best day ever so now we can click on this and i can store away all of my saplings in here and all my new wood types perfect after parting ways with sausage i sailed all along the coast of the empire’s smp

Server until i finally found a place that looked like it could be home whoa look at this mountain Yep i think this might just be the perfect place to settle and build an empire the sun is shining here there’s tons of animals the mountains are tall the flower fields are vast i feel right at home here i can’t think of anything more perfect now you know the classic

Minecraft ways we claim things with a crafting table and a quick sign oh and some furnaces there we go well i suppose now that i’ve picked out this glorious location for what is going to be an epic empire i should get to work on the survival stuff such as chopping down

Some wood and getting a much better food source so i’m thinking we should start a quick little farm so that we can round up these animals let’s see we just need a quick stone hoe and some seeds perfect if i had extra iron i could make a bucket as well

I’m willing to bet along this stoney shore somewhere there’s probably some iron exposed oh and maybe even over here ah yeah yeah here we go look at this perfect iron and we’ll have lots of coal as well maybe i’ll save some of this when we have fortune oh

This is a spooky area hello um yep sorry monster hunter heck yeah you know it is kind of oh oh that hurts that hurt that doesn’t feel good yeah i’ll just be over here i’m fine all is well nobody panic i’m gonna go ahead and get my sugar cane

Started over here and thankfully we do have enough iron for a bucket hello fishies yep sorry i just need i just need some food thank you thank you it’s a good day to start an empire everyone i think i’m gonna go ahead and put our very first wheat farmer right

Here by these bees they’ll be great helps with pollinating things speeding up the process there we go a seedy place now no eating the wheat okay oh i’ll get some for you i would love to get even more farms up so i’m gonna go ahead and get my boat

Out and see if there’s any villages where we can find carrots potato and beetroot off we go another adventure in the chest boat i’m pretty sure there’s a village just behind this mountain there we go there’s the village hopefully the farmers here have some crops that they

Can share with me hello potato perfect carrots okay i won’t take it all but some potato and carrot is great thank you oh there’s also even more pumpkins here i love pumpkins and beetroot perfect i hear the villagers here mountain climbing we may have to help this village

Not today though today we’re starting my empire hello bees i’m home and i brought more food oh this is such a good start good start is such an understatement there’s just something so charming about the early game of minecraft i genuinely love it i decided to breed up a few more

Animals such as the bees which are gonna help me out greatly with these farms that i’m setting up and then i started creating some animal pens to collect a bunch of different animals to have around i’m sure these will come super in handy later on as wool and leather are

Very important and i also gathered some picks because you know they’re cute of course i couldn’t resist a little bit of decorating of the farms and some more breeding of the bees and after just a little bit more effort we had an absolutely beautiful starter area and i

Was super content oh my potatoes are ready farming so far is going great i’ve got tons of bees and crops my empire has food and some preliminary protections with the terrain this is great i’ve noticed as i’ve been farming that up in the mountain up here there appears

To be a fair amount of iron hidden around so what do you say we go on a little mountain climbing trip just in case there’s any powdered snow i’ll make myself a little set of boots and we can tie the boots of course there those are pretty nice oh i better sleep

Me and the bees have the same bedtime when that moon rises we go to sleep sleep sleep there okay halfway going out to the mountains whoa hey look there’s emeralds up there and bunnies whoa this is cool here we go here’s some iron for us

It’d be great if we could get a full set of tools whoa look at my empire from up here this is gonna be epic oh i’m light as a rabbit i will be taking some of that to be a good trap for my enemies not that i have

Any enemies i don’t have any enemies yet but i do have lots of iron look at this don’t mind if i do my pickaxe broke so i’m gonna quickly smelt up some of my iron zombies you leave me alone don’t make yourselves the first enemy of my empire it’s a very cool empire

We’re very brave mm-hmm i don’t think so right iron pick perfect i am so skilled gotta let them know you know oh look there’s goats hello goats it’s nice to meet you hey let’s go ahead and smelt up all of this iron from the trip and feed the cows again hello cows

There you go all right now we can officially make our first piece of iron armor suit up perfect perfect and there we go with that we officially have a full set of armor if you’re ever wondering if i’m wearing armor or not when i look like

This we have a resource pack on that just makes the armor invisible now that things are up and running in the bee farm and the animal farm i’ve got all of the wood types and we’ve got some beginning iron tools and armor it’s time

To get a little bit more in the mood for empires we need an outfit change something that will suit this area of the server let me just uh use this tree real quick now this is much better much more suited to this biome right i shall be the princess of this empire

I’m excited now if i’m to be a good princess to these bees and these farms i ought to build up this entire empire we’ve gotta be strong and well strong starts with a starter house at the moment my belongings are scattered between here and the shore where we originally docked oh

My mangrove grew those are some really big trees cool so here’s the rest of my belongings in here we don’t have much but we definitely have enough for a starter house i get the feeling i should probably chop this down there’s so much tree what the heck luckily the mangrove wood

Is really pretty unluckily it never seems to end these mangrove trees also have these giant root structures that we will also have to get rid of i think i got it all maybe oh my sugar cane is ready the next thing that i need in order to build a starter

House is well something for the foundations we need it to be strong and at the moment i only have 64 cobble luckily with all of these mountains around here we should have no trouble starting a mining operation somewhere and i’m thinking this little area over here could be perfect potentially this

Cave is huge but it appears to be a dead end at that aquifer so i’m just gonna dig into the side of it over here and create a little mine shaft for me this will give us lots of stone for the start of my empire and a place to potentially mine later on

This is spooky oh my first copper my pickaxe has broken right as i’ve gone into this cave but this is kind of the perfect starting point for mining we’ve broken into a cave already for now let’s head back up to the surface and get started with this

Cobblestone i’m gonna go ahead and smelt a stack of this cobblestone so that we can have some smooth stone as for the rest of this cobblestone let’s decide where my house should go i feel like i want to be nearby the bees and my farm

So maybe just on sort of the edge of this hill over here could be perfect potentially i’m trying to figure out the layout of a starter base that would be the most interesting and this feels correct somehow i feel like these could be some really interesting foundation

Shapes we’ll have one building be like our storage room and one building be our more functional room and our bedroom where our bed is which speaking of it is night time got to sleep go to sleep go to sleep there we go our stone is turned into stone bricks

This will be helpful for just adding a little bit of interest to these foundations so we’ll have the path coming around the animal pens here around the farms and eventually down here between the buildings yeah i feel like i really like the flow of this that could work i’ve created a stone cutter

To make this process hopefully a little bit easier i’m thinking right here is going to be our entrance into the first building i think this is a foundation worthy of any princess as for the walls we have quite a lot of blocks that we could work with and i’m

Thinking a mixture of all of the wooden blocks that we collected with sausage would be perfect and we could definitely use some more oak wood too essentially my plan with this house was to just stack a bunch of starter houses on top of each other so three basic a-frames basically two of

Them overlapping and one on the other side with a bridge this would make a slightly more complex starter house with it still being very simple and easy in the early game oh nah you take your stare and eyebrows somewhere else who is your king or queen tell me

I just want to talk well i guess it’s time for a princess’s first battle no pillagers are welcome here dodge dodge it’s fine it’s fine this is fine got got one okay okay okay we would tactical retreat hold on get him get out of here jeez oh hey i got a new weapon

Cool oh they’re stragglers get out of here you oh my axe broke i shot you with your own weapon oh wow i just got a lot of advancements look at me go heck yeah best princess of them all i know it world’s strongest empire here nobody mess with me

The warning symbol the starter house is coming along nicely but i do think that this building here needs to be about one block higher so that it doesn’t intercept this roof awkwardly just a quick adjustment is necessary that’s all there we go now it crosses smoothly over

That’s a starter house if i’ve ever seen one i suppose now is as good a time as any to talk about my goals for this season of empires not only my goals but also the theme of the bells that i’m going to be working on here you go pig some food wonderful

In my empire this season we are going to theme the base around the sun that’s right that sun right there that sets over the mountains and rises over the ocean that is going to be the basis for the theme of my builds luckily for me this area that i’ve

Picked out is absolutely perfect for this we have sun themed things everywhere there’s lots of orange flowers yellow flowers red flowers there’s lots of things that we can work with to really drive this theme home i love this theme because i think it gives us a great opportunity to use a lot of

Blocks that i haven’t really previously used as well as these wonderful new blocks i mean look how fantastic these walls are going to look and then all we’re gonna do is bring in the roof and we’re gonna do that with some pumpkin for the bright orange the honeycomb and of course then some

Yellow wool i have to admit i’m extremely excited to show off this color combination because i think it also goes really well with the mangrove which ties in with the orange quite well has a little hint of purple and of course some red the multicolored rooves are going to

Make for such a key aspect of my empire these i need lots of honey okay one of the wood types that goes really well with this theme is actually acacia which i’m excited for because i don’t use this very often well just plant a beautiful garden of

Acacia back here building out of big bright gradients is one of my favorite things to get to do in minecraft so although i have worked with an orange and yellow gradient before i’m very excited to be building on a larger scale this season to take those gradients even

Further i feel like this theme is going to really help out my character and i’m so excited for how the starter house came out let me know what your thoughts are on the theme down below a starter house fit for any princess or at least this princess

I absolutely love how this thing turned out only thing that’s missing now is a couple more details like some windows i want the windows of this place to always remind me of the sun so i just need to pick the perfect flower for this this one will do we’ll make some yellow

Dye and some yellow stained glass with how dark the walls are in this house this should look so good together well just plop some in here as well perfect this house is looking perfect for a starter home for me it’s got tons of space only thing to do now is to actually move

All of my things inside in this room here we’ll have my bedroom a general work area and then across here i think we’ll be able to pop some storage i’m gonna try to go for a sort of aesthetic storage room with chests and barrels scattered throughout we’ll need a smoker

In the kitchen of course this mangrove wood could actually make a pretty cool divider here i kind of like that thank you sheep i just need some carpet of course i had to install some ladders get all the way up to our watch tower and now we can see just about everything

I feel very princess-like right now What the heck Hello hello hi flip hey hey how are you doing up there why are you making so much noise i have a very important question for you jem okay hi have you been to the end yet what’s that oh uh that you know big dragon fiery death thing there’s an egg in

There all that stuff nah it doesn’t sound like something that i’ve been doing no no you haven’t been to the end yet uh okay okay thanks i’m just somebody went in and i’m trying to figure out who so that’s good to know that’s good to know yeah don’t gotta worry about me don’t

Worry no no no how you doing over here it looks looks quite nice looks quite nice thanks well that was a weird visitor on a brighter note though i think my house is finished so if we step inside the front door now at the kitchen area a bedroom

Area and if we come along up here i’ve got my storage room which just has all of the essentials you know all in all i think this is a fine house for a princess as princess of this empire however there are a few things that are still missing as you can see i’ve

Started working on this road that goes under the house here and towards the ocean and this ocean is going to be very important to me let’s see this tree here this is our social tree at the moment we have zero enemies which is good and one alliance which is not

Bad our current one alliance is with sausage we parted ways with sausage at the ah why why why okay it’s fine it’s fine we parted ways with sausage at the beginning of this episode in this vast ocean and i’ve settled on this side of the ocean and

Sausage has settled way over the horizon over there the perk of having alliances is we can trade our goods with each other but at the moment i don’t really have anywhere that would be sufficient to trade these chest boats here make the perfect way to trade things via the

Ocean and we have this beautiful protected little bay in here since my house is up there i feel like it would be a good idea to get a preliminary little port area right here eventually this can be a bustling shipyard but for now it’ll just be a chest boat and

That’s okay we like chess boats so we’re just gonna shape the path all the way down along here it’s gonna be a nice and windy path and just landing right about here okay now it’s just a matter of working out where exactly i want these docks to go and i

Think i just want a couple of them sticking out maybe separated by three like so yeah this would be cute and it would give us lots of room to park the boats lined up with the center one here i’m gonna go ahead and install a little staircase for us i kinda wanna

Experiment with using some of these roots to look like supports under the dock i think that looks pretty good actually seems to blend in fairly well with the supports i like it on the edge of the dock here i’d like to do a little display of things that i am potentially

Trading if anybody is interested there we go this looks like a royal dock area if i’ve ever seen one it’s a little rustic at the moment but i like that because it gives us lots of room to improve and refine it later on this will be perfect for our first trades with our

Alliances hello she’s here she’s over here her name is jim she’s not where’s the treasure this is the treasure right where’s the treasure you mentioned hey where yeah i am treasure that’s not treasure you’re not a gem he said that there was treasure here no i i

Sorts yeah but that’s that’s just me that’s my name i’m princess jen yep it’s pretty crazy there you go that’s treasure you didn’t tell me you were a princess when we met the other day yeah i’ve had a revelation since i’ve come to the mountain we’re going on an adventure we came to

Pick you up we need as many people as possible somebody’s been to the end and we got to investigate oh i love adventures yeah yeah okay and so the pirate princess and sausage trio set off on their adventure across the ocean come on down you’re in charge like last time feel it

In your princess or uh let your princess sis his-ness guide you yeah i’m a great driver sausage i don’t know where we’re going just go straight [Laughter] into the wall left straight straight princesses don’t make good boat captains to adventure it’s this way no it’s just no it’s just hold on we

Gotta go back this way okay we’re fine now oh there’s a dolphin did i see that oh pretty i love dolphins yeah fantastic it also tastes great what Eventually we got to flip’s weird little goblin cave where he had something really important to say a few of you and uh i found the end stronghold um it’s open the portal’s been opened and i went to a bunch of you and y’all said you didn’t go does anybody know

What happened there i didn’t know why okay well um do you want to go investigate with me see what the heck’s going on in there figure this out i think we better have yeah let’s go let’s do it very grand mine entrance i swear secret secret mine’s very cool all right what’s

Inside me so we wandered our way through flips maze of goblin mines until we came to a portal that was already opened and since none of us had opened it we decided we would jump through and see what happened to our surprise there was no dragon

Isn’t there supposed to be a dragon here i was waiting for a fight did nobody came here wait nobody came out i haven’t no is the portal out oh there’s enderman there’s gotta have been somebody here wait the egg’s gone okay well uh sorry for dragging you all

In here to find out there’s nothing going on but oh i’m so glad that’s a good thing what do we get for this meeting yeah let’s go home it’s fine everything’s fine everybody we’re doing great oh that was weird and so it would seem the empires are

Living in a world where there is no dragon what is going to come of this is still a mystery but for now all we know is it is time to get set up in our empires my empire is off to a very good start if i do say so myself between our

Simple little starter house our animal pen and bee area combined with the path down to the dock i feel we are definitely set up for success and i’m excited to be the princess of the empire’s snp for now though i will see you all in the next episode goodbye

Everyone thank you so much for watching you
