EPIC Birch Village Mining Expedition!

Hi everybody and welcome back to another Survival series video now here we are in the bedroom of my base and we have some things to do but first let me just take out my armor and we’ll put that on it’s always good to be protected and my tools axes try and my

Buckets and I’ll also take the rest of this stuff with us and we can’t forget the spy glass now in this chest are The Spoils of some treasure chests that I looted over the last little while and I found more treasure maps along with some nice Frost Walker boots along with these smithing

Templates I’m not entirely sure what I can do with these but I’m sure along on the way I’ll figure it out if you guys know what those are for let me know in the comments now it’s nighttime at this Village and if we head up onto the

Roof we can get a pretty good view of the surrounding lands an even better View if we use the spy glass there are some monsters over there in the desert but they can’t get to us this Village is safe and very secure nothing can harm us

Here now up there is the Watchtower but but I don’t think we’ll go up there a little bit worried about Phantoms spawning so we’ll just head back down and we’ll go down another level to the main floor looks like this guy was thinking I was going to let him in not today my

Friend but this Village sits on a hill and I have many memories of before the days when this was fortified going past it on a boat in a boat and looking at the little Enclave of civilization standing alone against the hostile environment now this structure here I use to battle

Enderman it’s two blocks high so they can’t get in you can see now speak of the devil there’s an Enderman there and he doesn’t seem to want to come inside maybe he sees me holding his axxe and his having second thoughts we’ll just give him a

Poke and one more he still doesn’t want to come in see if we can him oh he’s coming in where is he there he is have a nice day sir so that’s how easy it is is to fight Enderman using that structure and this wall we recently reinforced so nothing can shoot over

It I was thinking pillagers could but now this place is pretty safe I don’t think these zombies are smart enough to see me here even though I was jumping around trying to get their attention is there anything up this way [Applause] oh Phantoms and that’s what I was worried

About now they can’t get me in here but I don’t want to be a Sitting Duck until the sun comes up so we’re going to try to here comes another one many more to go I really wish I had to trap these guys let’s build one

So if I can get them by underneath this L it would really help in slaying them cared my mind because all of a sudden I don’t want to come over maybe I can get this guy one left I can’t reach him the Sun is going to come very short

Oh there’s two of them up there now well there goes that one and I have a feeling that the sun will take care of this last one for us we’ll train [Applause] yeah the same dispatch this Phantom and there he goes so we can take down this ledge we don’t need it any

Longer Let’s Take a Walk shall we we’ll head down these stairs and back over to my house what’s in here nothing that I really need I’ll put the Pearl away for safekeeping grab the chicken and that filled me up pretty good but those those membranes away let’s see doors some

Wood and was there anything else up here I can leave some of the arrows and my silk touch shovel and I think we are good to go now we are going to head down into the mines specifically into this very large Ravine that we can see down in

There now this used to be a very dark and spooky place but in the years since I first started mining here I have it pretty well mined up out there’s a few ways we can get down there I think we’ll just go this way and I have these slabs in Leo of

Doors so we’ll step out onto the ledge and there’s still some bad guys down here as well as some pockets of ores that I hadn’t mined the last time I was down here so we’ll get as many of those as we can I don’t really feel like getting that iron up there there’s

Plenty more where that came from this is a very large Ravine that branches out into many different Avenues and some of those Avenues are still undiscovered as in I haven’t gone in and L them up and cleared them yet someday we will but for now let’s just mine this coal Coal is a

Resource that we can never have enough of because we do tend to go through it quite rapidly especially when we’re smelting iron and gold we’ll sneak along this ledge and there’s a section that is still dark back in there I haven’t made my way through There Yet now we’re going to go around

To the other side we’re going to bridge across somewhere around here I’m just looking for a a place that would work my pickaxe is kind of on its last legs and I didn’t bring a spare I should have done that so if if we go across right here that should work pretty

Good just have to make sure we don’t fall I’ll use some Cobblestone and Bridge across this Gap mine our way into the wall and then make our way down to that ledge and that’s typically the way I go about exploring these Ravines I start at the top and I cut a

Ledge all the way around it and light it up and then light up the wall of the Ravine below and above me then when I get back to my starting point I go down a few blocks and make another ledge and so on and so forth until we reach the

Bottom and that line of thinking is in full view in this Ravine now I I guarantee you that we are really raking in this coal using this Fortune pickaxe I’m probably going to run out of space in my inventory if we keep going at this level now we

Wna sneak along here until we get into this area now that’s where we came from we’ll go down here so that section is still yeah there’s some iron and coal that I need to get what do we have down here another ledge so this is the second

Tier I’m just gonna take a look and see what’s up here nothing and this all looks to be mined out so I’ll tell you what we’ll do this isn’t that far down so we’ll just drop right down onto the third tier and this gives us access to this

Section yeah we’re g to get over there and mine all of that out but we don’t want to fall down there that wouldn’t that wouldn’t be good now this area up here is still more or less not explored I don’t feel that safe mining in there but in

Here is a bit of a different story I catch a lot of flack from some guy who say that I use an obscene amount of torches well I I guess that’s true but all these torches light this place up so much so that nothing can spawn I mean who wants

Monsters spawning in in their minds all the time I sure don’t anything that I can do to limit the possibility of getting blown up by a rogue creeper I will gladly do and that once again goes back to the Gathering of coal takes a lot of coal to make a lot of torches

But all those torches enable the Gathering of even more coal and it’s kind of a NeverEnding cycle that just keeps on giving now up there is where we stood in this gravel Tower was the original way that I accessed this ravine and it Bears some resemblance to the five star

Ravine in the patronville realm this one has more than five branches though so I’m not really sure if that would be a good name now back over here you can see some Cobblestone down there that’s that’s a spawner I can’t really remember what kind of spawner it

Is but maybe we’ll head down there in a second and kind of refresh our memory now what did I say about coal here’s a pretty good vein this will probably net us half a stack using the fortune pickaxe and there are uh uh 32 pieces in half a stack 64 in a full

Stack now I’m probably going to wind up blocking this coal up to save space should I run out of room in my inventory Bridge across here it’s a little bit dark back in there but creepers can’t spawn on a wall so well you know what maybe will

Just go back in here and throw a couple torches up like so and we’ll drop down into this water no matter how high you are if you fall into water you will not take damage and here’s the spawner it looks like a uh is that a spider spawn

Yeah okay there’s coal that I want to get on the left side oh that’s obsidian I was wondering what that was now we’ll just um tell you what we’ll we’ll head over to this bridge no sense making a new one throw a torch down there kind of make this a bit more

Safe and we’ll mine this coal this is looking pretty good pretty good sneak our way back now down there is just a an access to the next tier now is there anything else at this level that needs to be Min not really seeing much there’s coal over oh yeah lot of coal still

Coal and iron we’ll get this and then we’ll head over to the other side straight across there that looks to be the mother load over there and I’m not worried about giving getting every single Speck of ore out of this but I am going to get this because there’s a lot of it

Here so we’ll Tower our way up grab all of this coal see if we can’t get the rest of this oh no oh that fell but that didn’t so we’re in pretty good pretty good stad now we do want to get down there so if I remember this is an access yeah

Kind of dark okay so those torches they Mark the way out and what’s down here I guess I was mining obsidian down here at one point it’s a dead end yeah this was a pretty productive mine and there’s still a lot more to do here but we’ll leave that let’s head up this

Staircase now where this ends up I am not 100% sure we appear to be in some kind of uh room oh I remember what this is yeah so up here is this little building you might have wandered about on the outskirts of the village and the Sun is going

Down so what do you say we head back to now let’s take a little stroll through this way and we’ll go and process our Hall down to the furnaces we go oh yeah I need to uh replace the slab that we took out we can’t have any creepies coming up the

Stairs and causing Havoc so that’ll keep them at Bay yeah that’s a long ways down okay let’s put some iron in that furnace this furnace this one and this one and while that smelts we’ll do a bit of housekeeping put away some of these blocks that I don’t need to carry around with

Me a lot of people when they play Minecraft C they get rid of blocks that they don’t need I tend not to do that everything will come in handy at some point now I don’t live my life my real life like that but in Minecraft no matter how much you hoard

None of it will take up any more space in your house than what your computer takes up so there is really no point in throwing things away because you may very well find one day in the future that you need that you need things now back in that

Direction in all in all directions actually I have other villages on this ocean take those boots with me Frost Walker boots in case you’re not aware allow you to actually walk on water water get the iron out of the furnaces and block up the coal but like

I was saying there’s a lot of history in this part of the world there are a lot of communities that I discovered and fortified many to the East and many more to the West thunderstorm the only thing we’re going to do right now is sleep and get rid of this

Thunderstorm but I think we’re going to take a a trip to another Village that I haven’t been to in a very very very long time this Birch Village was very young the last time I visited the village that we’re heading to and unlike some of the other villages on this Southern

Ocean this Village has a sad story I didn’t get the walls up in time so the zombies well they tear terrorized this little community and wiped out all of its inhabitants I was thinking maybe of trying to repopulate this Village at some point but I haven’t gotten around that

Yet the access is right over there I have a marker that shows us that the river is right over here and at the end of this lonely Little River far away in a remote corner of the Southern Ocean lies this desert village this ghost Village devoid of any inhabitants it sits

Stoically a reminder of better times look at this dolphin that followed me in he looks like he’s having a great time I don’t know is he stuck is he stuck in that block now he’s just swimming around playing with my boat into having a really good time perhaps he’ll wait for

Us we shouldn’t be too long what a character I just love Dolphins if you’re swimming in the water with a dolphin you can get the effect known as dolphin’s Grace which actually speeds up your swimming speed significantly now here we are in this abandoned Village here’s the Old Blacksmith Shop but no

Blacksmith and up over here is a staple with a horse I’m surprised this horse is still here because it’s been years since I’ve been back here and this is my base of operations just as I left it many years ago now what do we have going on back

Here oh yes the desert temple that I rated just some basic basic supplies food and weapons some blocks and some torches now out there is an early sand mine I mined a lot of sand for glass from this location and planted some oak trees we’ll make our way out sun is still relatively

High and we are well provisioned so I don’t anticipate any trouble as long as we’re smart now I wonder if there’s anything that I left in this desert Temple oh I’ve got it blocked off well maybe we won’t fool around here now this Village is pretty far south but I have

Another another Outpost even fur further south and it has been as long as it’s been since I visited this Village it’s been a lot longer since I visited this Outpost so what do you say in the spirit of Adventure we head on on over to the long forgotten Sandstone mine and these dirt

Towers show us the way and it is a proper long trip I recall that it it took a good day to get there by horse and maybe we should have gone back and given the horse some exercise but we’re already on Route so we’ll keep on trekking now in my underground

Garden back at the compound I used Sandstone to kind of embrace the ceiling to make it look a little bit more appealing and pretty much all the Sandstone that’s in that room I got from this Sandstone mine now the sun is sinking and I don’t want to get

Caught in this desert when the Sun goes down there should be a an overnight shelter close by because in the old days when I made this trip on foot I had to build a few overnight shelters to Ure that I would make the trip to and from in one

Piece now we really need to run oh yes look straight ahead there’s a shelter there’s a shelter and not a moment too soon because as you can see the sun is just about to touch the Horizon and Usher in the night and we don’t like the night for the night brings

Beings who wish to partake of our flesh who wish to do us great harm the Civilized world as we know it ceases to exist when the sun sinks below the Horizon and the true horror of Minecraft is Unleashed and there is one of those beings the notorious desert zombie known as the husk

And he seems to be all alone at the moment but he will not be alone for long this isn’t my first rodeo what’s that out there a skeleton a skeleton a husk and a witch oh boy there’s a veritable monster party out there tonight which vanished but we all know she’ll turn up

Somewhere now maybe these monsters have a A Primitive form of intelligence because they can clearly see my shelter and they are wary of getting too close if they see me however they’ll make a beine for me and try to Snuff out my life now he just took a shot at

Me so we’ll use the fortifications built into this shelter to dispatch this cron and will rob his corpse of anything and everything that may help us survive Here Comes one of the husk we don’t want to get hit by a husk or he’ll give us a uh a poison effect for a few

Seconds now this husk seems to be smarter than the skeleton he doesn’t want to engage perhaps he was watching his fellow creepy Crawley get cut down yes he’s giving this structureal wide birth and I don’t have any ill intent I tend to be a very passive person I Live and Let

Live but if somebody threatens my life they’re going to be the one that goes down here’s our friend Mr husk heading for the hills well we’ll wish him good riddens lot of Creepers out there creepers can do a lot of damage if they blow up in the

Desert they can destroy sand like like no tomorrow I’m kind of starting to get a little bit tired if I may say so myself but this is not the time to slip we need to remain alert and Vigilant because as you can see the Witch Is Back

She seems to be popping in and out with regularity I can’t the witch I had a very close call with one on my first real Wilderness encounter about a week after I first started playing the game now that was a battle for the ages stone sword and no armor how I survived

That is beyond me now it seems like this night has been so long but finally there’s a ray a glimmer of hope the sun is soon to rise and when it does it will Vanquish this land of all the beasts that rise in the night to Feast as long as that Enderman doesn’t

Steal my dirt we won’t have any problems problems yes I’m looking at you mister keep your hands to yourself now we’re going to give the sun ample time to get high in the sky before we set out because in the Des desert creepers and husks do not burn well creepers don’t burn anywhere

But husks in the desert it typically takes till around 11:00 for the desert to be safe Sunrise there there are still a number of hostile mobs that you don’t want to run into there’s a skeleton taking a a bath and we’ll leave him be we’ll give him a wide birth

I really wish I brought food other than golden apples but no matter I have food at the Sandstone mine so we’ll set out on our walking Adventure and pray that we make it in one piece to this long abandoned Outpost now this is some pretty treacherous terrain lot of rugged

Hills that we must cross avoiding pitfalls the original path was far more dangerous than this one we’ll drop down through this draw oh look some stragglers and we’ll keep following these dirt Beacon Towers they’re the only thing keeping us on track these deserts are very very easy to get lost in oh there’s

Another overnight shelter maybe we’ll just kind of take a peek into this place see if there’s anything I left left no but no matter because we are nearing The Outpost just on the other side of this hill we come into an acacia Forest a Savannah Biome and here we are years

Later we’ve made it back to the Sandstone mine let’s head inside
