Empires SMP: Trouble at the Academy [Ep. 19]

Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of the empire’s smp today i need to gather a ton of materials to continue work on my academy and my empire we have quite a lot of building to do part of that building process has been the back of the build which uh granted is not

Done yet but i’ve been working very hard on it as you can see and with the back of the build finally in that means i can start thinking about the interior and we have a lot of work to do in here to get therapy actual classrooms inside i find

It really fun to mark out the interiors of these big builds because you get to choose where everything goes and i think the height of this floor in here is going to be right about here which is fairly low for the room the height of the floor is right there for this tower

So it means we’re gonna have to put a staircase which i’m excited about the more rooms and elevation changes we have i think the more interesting it’ll be interiors requires so much cleaning up oh my goodness look at this it’s a mess luckily though this is

Exactly where the floor needs to go i just have to patch the wall uh it’ll be fine i got it got a potential student just kidding they’re explosive and not welcome hallways are looking great though look at this we’ve got a little staircase going up it connects all the

Way through now this is perfect i think we’ll have a classroom on each end once i get the walls in of course for now though i better light it up so we don’t get any more accidental students i have to say the back side of this base is

Looking so much better there’s a lot of cleaning up to do but i’m really proud of it i think i can officially start planning classes and i have so many ideas students did you hear i’m gonna plan classes it’s gonna be great don’t worry don’t

Worry i got it you know i’ve just now realized somebody named everything at my base crystal cliffs resident or npc right well i suppose it’s time to gather some more materials and get to work on a new project jim oh hi scott hi jim um so remember when you came over for the

Flight path and then there was lots of snow and ice everywhere yeah it was really cold you know it’s got worse um worse i need help yep can you show me what do you mean um there’s no bigger ice spikes the lake and rivers and waterfalls are frozen solid um

There’s snow everywhere where there wasn’t snow before it’s just it’s it’s a lot um i don’t know how to control this magic can you help yeah yeah it’s just how about how about you show me um come on there’s a like down here oh jim i don’t wanna i don’t wanna freeze

Your lake it’s okay it’s a cod sanctuary it’s all good you can you can do it look whoa oh i like it it doesn’t it doesn’t mail scott that’s probably just frostwalker it it’s gonna be fine it’s nighttime and stuff it’s not i promise you this is

Gonna be worse in the morning i i think it’ll be fine come on let’s go get a sleep come on come on look it’ll be fine i’m sure just for us oh no walker it’s just i told you well this is a frost walker gem and it always happens every time oh no

This is team this is tame yes oh the poor oh dear um well maybe you do need my academy you know it’s not built yet but i can enroll you i bet and and we can learn how to control it okay i know it’s not type of magic you normally use so no

You’re the only person i can think of i’m not familiar i’ll be honest but i can study it and we can work on it and maybe you can learn how to thaw stuff right if you could phrase it you could thaw it i’ve tried it’s just never happened

Before i’ve not i’ve tried clearing the snow and all that it just comes back worse like i’ve i don’t even intentionally try to freeze it and it happens so i can’t intentionally try and unfreeze it have you ever intentionally tried to freeze stuff no because i don’t want to hurt people

But what if you could do it in a controlled environment like an academy and we could practice i’m just scared to heart more people jim you won’t hurt anybody i won’t let you you won’t you won’t hurt i promise i promise come on let’s go practice come

On come on just in here just in here just see if you could freeze it intentionally i i’ll be able to do it intentionally but it’s the unfreezing part jim well we could practice that after come on try it for me try it there i did it you did do it good job

That’s extra frozen jim yeah you did it you have ice powers now now can you thought come on concentrate really hard focus i’m focusing jim focus more jim i don’t know what you want from me i want jim i can’t do it think about it jim i can can jam i can scott

Try harder jam enough no no it’s okay it’s okay jim it’s not a champ i’m i’m fine i’m here really you’re not i’m oh it’s i’m sorry i can fix it it’s okay jim i’m not playing either i told you i would hurt people i always hurt people no it’s okay

I’m promised i’m okay jim you’re not i i need to go i need to get far away jim no i need to go i could help you well that’s not good probably i’ve never felt worse it’s so cold to get to the apothecary surely i have something in here that can help me

I think maybe instant health yeah this will make me feel better huh maybe not um hey i hate it here i i hate it here i hate it jem i hate it here i i hate it here hi flip hi they’re students oh um

I’m okay i just yeah i had a me and scott were doing some magic uh-huh and what well it got a little out of out of control i think but i’m okay i’m just slightly cold but no no no no last time i was with scott

He said don’t come near me because you could be infected in fact and now you’re telling me you were doing magic with scott and now now you have white hair yeah i might be slightly frozen i i think but i i’ll be okay i have potions and stuff and and

They’re not working but can i i’m taking this back i’m taking i’m taking this back for one i’m taking that back that’s more important than this over here but no you not you’re not doing okay you are not no jem no go get help oh maybe not from your students outside

They don’t they don’t seem like they’re very friendly but yeah you need to go get help from who i don’t know catherine heals stuff doesn’t she she makes plants better and maybe help yeah i could go to catherine that’s what i’ll do okay and um i’ll i’ll go deal with scott in

Typical gemini fashion i decided to not actually listen to a single thing flip just said i know i should go to catherine but i i honestly i feel fine i i think i can fix this myself i don’t need anybody’s help i’m okay i know that i must have some things in here

Somewhere somewhere in here yeah now the right ingots look at this i could just add this to my armor and maybe it’ll make me a little stronger you know maybe it’ll help we go okay yeah that’s that’s definitely helping i think maybe this nether stuff is the key

It’s warm in there right so so if i just go into the nether i’ll feel stronger please work okay um yeah it feels warmer in here it feels good i think i mean it definitely hasn’t cured me or anything but feel better i feel i feel stronger in here maybe if i just

Dig down and try to find more of the scraps so that i can hopefully get better all on my own without any help here we go our first piece okay perfect thank goodness hidden in the depths okay this is gonna make me stronger i’ll be okay oh a vein of three perfect

Just what i needed okay i feel sufficiently warmed for now let’s head back to the overworld and see if i don’t feel any better in there okay back at the crystal cliffs not healed but i feel strong enough to to move on i’ll just smelt that in a furnace and store

Away the nether goodies there we go another right scrap and inning it awesome now we just use this and i can upgrade my pickaxe there my first netherright tool and netherright armor okay i’m stronger now i must be right being in the nether took a couple of days in the overworld so

I think there’s a new ruler i think it’s joel as you all know despite whatever is going on in our personal lives whoever the emperor is we have to listen to so uh we have to head to mazzaglia luckily this place is also warm it’s kind of comforting so joel’s a

Little bit insane this is huge joel oh my goodness okay uh where do i get the jewel skull oh here we are is this it get your skulls your peasants all right okay joel is definitely one of the weirder emperors we’ve had but i accept he is

The emperor and i don’t want to kick up a fuss right now not strong enough for that anyways off we go okay home sweet home now to get back to work on my own empire i know what we need to do next in the crystal cliffs something that i’ve always wanted to

Promote is a set of rules an ethics board laws and things that govern what people should and should not do for their own safety of course my friends and i make for a very chaotic alliance but i like to keep things very lawful when i can so i thought that i would

Build a room for the board of ethics it’ll be like a whole proper building where people can come and get information on all of the things going on basically i just want there to be a place where everybody can get information on this empire and how

Things are run i think this little area right here will be the perfect spot for it so i’m just gonna take down this foundation real quick and we’ll build the ethics building here may need a little extra room so i’m just gonna remove this one as well this should work

For the new outline of the ethics building just gotta build up the foundation and get it all in place sadly i do think the chickens are gonna have to go before you my friends be free there you go i have tons of eggs so that’s probably fine luckily once the foundation of

These buildings are in place it’s pretty easy mode from there you just gotta build up i’m gonna go about five that’s five and then we put some slabs around and just generally detail the whole thing i like doing this style because you can get a little bit of

Depth down below in the foundation and then up here we’re gonna sit the wall right on these slabs so then there’s no depth but it’ll still look good with the details i promise the finishing touches are going on the build now and honestly i love it so far

I thought i would hang a little banner over on this side from a grindstone that’ll look pretty cute there we go and we’ll just do some of our vibrant purple wool and maybe eventually a banner yeah i think that fits in quite well i love the way that the building

Connects to this path i think i’ll widen this path a little bit and kind of shift this structure here over just a little bit these outlines i marked out a very long time ago at this point so there’s slight changes that are going to happen as the story evolves but that’s okay

There we go road all fixed up that’s much better oh my goodness i love it i’ve been thinking recently about sort of the flora i guess and maybe fauna of my empire and i actually really love these chorus plants they’re from the end dimension i know but they just look so

Good and they add such a nice unique purple color to the area so i think i’m going to add a bunch of those around my empire just gotta harvest the flowers like this it’s very magical really then we can use these flowers and plant them everywhere of course we’ll have a

Bunch of the evergreen trees as well but i think that’s kind of what the tree life will be around here it’ll be a bunch of evergreen trees and then a bunch of this chorus stuff unfortunately this stuff does have to be placed on end stone but i think that’s

Fine i’ll just plop them in a couple of places for now we’ll kind of see how that looks as a start maybe one right here would be good i just think they add such a unique like fantasy sort of tree with very minimal effort from me i can still do my custom

Trees everywhere but these are just special kind of excited about getting to use stuff that i’ve never used before to be fair it’s really cool i’ve never used these in a build time to work on some of the details now and i’m excited for this part i love doing interiors in this world

Definitely need a book so that we can write all of our laws down in this i think we’ll put a big desk right in the entrance and we’ll have the book right here ready to go in order to add a pop of color to the build i think i’m gonna

Go with a crimson ceiling that could be really cute i hadn’t actually thought about adding a fireplace or chimney to this build but now that i think of it i definitely really need one so i’m gonna plunk one right here and hopefully this will look pretty good

I like chimneys it’s a really good option if you want to add just a little extra something to a build i enjoy them alright it lacks a few details but i really like this so far we’ve got like the bulk of the furniture in place we’ve

Got a nice desk here which has our book which is gonna have all of our laws and things written in it that everybody wants to know we’ve got lots of books around a cozy little fireplace i think we’ll do a little table over here we need some pots and things i think

Because this was inspired by my alliance i’m definitely going to decorate a bunch with wither roses i kind of like it it’s also a little bit eerie because it kind of implies that if you break these laws like you know we don’t know what the punishment is but there’s there’s

Probably a punishment gosh i hate this joel head so much less dramatic uh it’s fine it’s fine but yeah i really like the drama of the withering effect being all around our sort of ethics build it’s kind of ironic and really fun and with that everyone i believe that is all

The time that i have for this episode this has been uh joel and i tay signing off i’ve got some work to do figuring out how to get rid of this awkward white streak in my hair see you next time everyone bye-bye
