EPIC Minecraft Adventure with Todd13 in Blackstone

Well hello everybody and welcome to episode 170 of the let’s play World last episode I introduced the new year new me vote where you’re going to vote on my new skin for 2024 and I put two skins up for vote I put up clean shaven Todd and old Todd

And man you all really surprised me you overwhelmingly voted for old Todd I thought clean shaven Todd would get some love but apparently not so old Todd wins that round this week I’m going to give you two more and you’re going to vote on those two and then the winner of this

Week will go up against old Todd to determine which skin I’m going to wear now this week’s going to be a little trickier they’re a little weirder so this week you get to vote on these two you get to vote on mustache Todd or robot Todd again if you’re a subscriber

And you look on YouTube there’ll be a poll and next episode I’ll let you know who the winner is and we will put the winner of this vote up against old Todd and you will choose my new skin so to start off today let me give you a bunch

Of updates so the first update we did those floating islands and I went ahead and labeled those on the map here so you can see right there it says floating Islands another thing I want to point out is I did an update to this map we

Used to have these kind of blank spaces on the sides and I went ahead and just flew around and filled those out so we now have a complete map here and right there that is that tunnel that went to that massive underground cave with the ancient city and all that that big black

Spot there yeah it’s very very cool looking it’s interesting to see how some of the mountains like I didn’t realize we actually had had this little Valley here and this is just sort of a uh little Peak so yeah really cool look at our area speaking of tasks there’s a couple

Things we can update here fix door at Old base Redstone Roger took care of that for us so that one is done the floating builds floating island we did a couple of those and mors Bane that was a viewer suggestion so thank you for the suggestion it turned out really great

The other floating build floating Castle a top beant stock this one was really tricky this was a viewer suggestion from Kylie and it was a challenge and I think I met it I think it turned out really good so that can come off the wall of

Tasks if you join me on Sunday for the live stream I did a couple of things one of them is I ran over to the old base and grabbed all of my valuables brought them over here in preparation for this build we’re going to eventually build a

Vault to keep all of our valuable stuff in another thing I did was a little bit of work on one of the in between spaces so we’ve been working on this formal Garden we’ve got a maze and we’ve got a fountain and then there’s some space in

Between those and I just started a little bit of work right down here on one of the in between spaces and during the live stream I didn’t get a lot done here I just sort of stacked up some black stone and kind of thought out loud a little bit and it’s still not

Much of a build yet what I was thinking is we’ve got this big Blackstone Spire in the center of our area and using deep slate we did some construction we built onto that Spire the Deep slate is also mirrored in the walls around our base so

You know all of the deep slate is man-made it’s it’s things that I have built but the black stone is a little bit more of a natural occurrence it’s like it sort of jutted up out of the earth and I thought it would be cool to

Sort of mirror that in some of the corners like there was more black stone protruding out of the ground my idea with this was sort of like a thorn you can kind of see that shape here that kind of curved spiky kind of shape you can see it’s not quite complete definitely need

To do more texturing more spawn proofing all of that but I think I want to do a little bit of work on that today and see if we can get something of that thorn shape kind of completed another thing we did during the live stream is we flew around and we

Found a bunch of different flowers that we can use in some of the other areas of our formal Garden since we finished the bean stock I didn’t need as much green wool and so I went ahead and dyed a bunch of the sheep different colors so we could get

Some other types of wool out of this then one more thing we did on the live stream was I planted this cherry tree eventually when we get to this portion of our formal Garden I want this to be kind of like a bit of a picnic area

And I wanted there to be a tree that was overhanging and I really like the particle effects I think it’s very peaceful and calming and so I really really like this little addition here so now that I’ve got you up to speed I think the first thing we should

Tackle is this Blackstone mess we’ve got going on over here I want to see if I can get this sort of finished up and a little bit of a plan for what to do with this area W So here’s what I’ve come up with I’ve got a nice little path that comes from our Maze and it comes up this way and you can kind of see like I was talking about that kind of thorny Pokey outcrop a little bit of speckling of

Black Stone here and there as we get to the top we’ve got this Soul Sand pool here and I’m going to grow Nether wart here because we don’t have any source of it on this part of our uh our world we’ve got a little garden of it back at our

Old base nothing over here I did a little bit of texturing just to make it look kind of alien kind of of weird and unusual again some little speckling of Black Stone here kind of cool looking and then similarly there’s there’s a path here that leads over to the Fountain area and

I think this space in between I want it to be a little bit more natural a little more wild a little more overgrown and that way the formal Gardens will feel very formal and these in between spaces will feel a lot more wild the next thing

We’re going to do is we’re going to kick it over to The Decorator cuz I’ve got a project that I want him to work on well hey everybody it’s me The Decorator I’m somewhere where I really don’t like to be and that’s the nether

But I’ve got a job to do so we’re going to do it so over here at this nether Monument project we’ve got this little torch up here that’s sort of indicating where we want some sort of decoration and I have a pretty good idea because there’s something that spawns in

Here really regularly oh my word oh goodness oh my word it’s wither skeletons there must be a million of them in there this right here that face that face is scary and I think I want to do something like this over here but much larger okay we’re going to see if we can

Get up on the roof here okay so far so good run over here and see we got to work with here now this is all slabs so we shouldn’t get much spawning up here and as you can see this is an even number of blocks so the face we’re going to make

Is going to be 8 by 8 now I think I want to start down a little bit so that we kind of overlap so it’s not just sitting on top of the monument here see if we can work our way out here oh my word oh my word oh heavens

Okay I think we’re looking pretty good here oh my goodness see if we can get back down here we go our glass back well look at that well I think that looks real good hopefully I never have to come back here again talk to y’all soon happy decorating that decorator does some

Pretty good work once we get some stuff done over here we’ll head back to that nether Monument build a portal and head to Parts Unknown but in the meantime we got more to do over here I’ve been putting some trees and some shrubs and things in this area here just to make

Things look a little more wild and overgrown and I’m going to keep working on that and see if I can get things looking sufficiently wild I’m curious how things are shaping up here let’s pop see is it this one and this one yeah that looks interesting right so

We’ve got these formal Gardens and then this kind of weird thing going on in between that’s very cool looking you can see the paths kind of leading up to it yeah definitely want to get more Greenery more Shrubbery going on here and wow that cherry tree really pops out

Up there at that uh picnic area very very cool next episode I think we’re going to tackle another project from the wall of tasks and remember look out for that poll on YouTube vote for a new skin new year new me and next episode I’ll let you know who won and

That’s where I’m going to wrap this one up thank you all so much for watching I hope you had fun please like And subscribe if you want to follow along on the adventure and I hope to see you all in the next one bye-bye Oh
