EPIC Minecraft Hardcore Megabase – Insane Building

By the end of this video there will be a base here a massive structure surrounded by a custom Forest filled with Pathways Bridges and life not only did I build this entirely in hardcore survival but I have no idea what I’m doing so the goal

Of this video is to see how hard it is for a guy like me to build something like this without any planning whatsoever creative mode not allowed mods like light matica illegal crying probably I’m just a dude trying to build a cool base all right I think I think we’re

Recording episode 23 in the last video I built my little melon Hardway to the point where I feel like this area is honestly looking pretty dang good however I don’t feel like it really fits into the greater area right now it sort of feels like it’s on the edge of two

Different biomes and I don’t like that so let’s change that by expanding the Cherry forest and after 10 minutes we have expanded the Cherry forest from here to about over here not not very far not going to lie not very good the main issue right now is that I don’t really

Have a good way of getting saplings but to last I have a plan and that plan will be executed at the creeper Farm I need a new hoe bad bad bad bad also bad terrible not good Awful trash bad and good finally this is what I need luckily

For me I managed to get the new hoe without any catastrophic explosions at the creeper Farm what’s up boys oh my oh my God that was really dumb and just like that even though my hoe might be weak my spirits are strong why why did I just say that and here’s a

Super cool time lapse of me planting in the for okay yeah it’s not even that cool I just I think it’s going to be cool I really hope it’s going to be cool at this point you know I like to act like I had some sort of a plan while

Doing this but like literally I didn’t I just ran around and placed in saplings we need to desperately address this raid farm that I built in the last episode uh yeah it doesn’t work very well in fact I’m pretty sure my iron farm over here accidentally got more totems than the

Raid Farm did correction it doesn’t work at all I don’t know why I even act like it does so as much as it pains me we’re going to fill this whole thing in now I don’t know why building a dirt platform on top of them will keep them safe but I

Just it will cuz I said so not quite sure what his problem was that was a wee bit aggressive but anyways I filled in over the top of the raid farm and then went through outlining a square that would serve as the rough shape of the

Build I used a square because let’s be real I’m building this by hand without a plan so if it was a circle my brain would probably implode drum roll please oh yeah that looks good I think that’s a good size this might look small but it’s not because this is a grower

Not a show let’s collect some materials before I say anything else dumb our first set of materials will require us to head down here into our handy dandy M shaft the first of which just being Stone just regular Old Stone I feel like Stone was kind of a no-brainer because

It’s really easy to get and it looks halfway decent oh Jesus Christ we’re already in a cave oh it’s a big one too and so I started mining I took my little hands that don’t match the rest of my skin I grabbed my pickaxe and

There I was I have no idea of the quantities I have no idea what it’s really going to look like I haven’t done any testing I mean hey the worst thing that happens is that it ends up sucking and I hate it and then nobody ever sees

This video right so you know what it’s a I’m willing to take I also went a little bit crazy while I was down here and grabbed some things like andesite some Cobble deep slay I I don’t know why I’m acting like this is crazy I really have

No idea what I’m doing right now some diamonds it’s like my mom texted me and she was like Hey on Friday you’re going to make a really big dinner for a lot of people and you need to get a lot of ingredients but I don’t know what

Cuisine it’s going to be so just have at It and of course for my next trick we will head all the way out to right here to grab some sand I will need a bunch of this for concrete and other things I also took the opportunity to collect some Sandstone because I just I feel

Like it goes good with sand believe it or not before coming to the sad realization that I miss my shulker boxes I honestly I kind of regret throwing everything away just because of that alone I’ll be honest I probably didn’t even need half as much as I was

Collecting at this point but this terrain was just really bothering me and I had to fix it at this point and boom I I don’t know if that was worth it but I’m going to say yes it was because now now it’s round and it looks nice yeah I

I’m definitely stalling at this point but I’m just super nervous to begin building this thing so I went off and tried to collect some gravel but immediately realized that I don’t have the sell cut shovels so I had to go make one of those and then finally got

Collecting some and that’s pretty much it for all of the materials in the over world that is oh my God that’s up how you doing buddy aren’t you just the the coolest little thing I’m going to kill you it’s fine it’s honly pretty sad that

My portal is still all the way down at the bottom of this cave but anyways I went to the Nether and instantly got set on fire not quite sure what that’s about but that’s okay I’m a big boy I can handle it so I got collecting some of

This nelum which I think is going to come in handy I also grabbed some magma blocks which are kind of dangerous and annoying to get but they are going to really come in handy my brain is churning right now I am full of ideas you guys I spent the rest of that night

Going through doing some final preparations and collecting some more materials you know things like breeding my sheep collecting wool from my sheep killing my sheep because I made too many sheep as well as continuing my honeycomb collection here at the bee farm now that it’s expanded must say we are getting

Quite the be Army in this place and honestly I’m not mad about it and just like that I think that’s all we can do for today honestly I’m just a little bit nervous for I’m not going to lie I definitely procrastinated building yesterday because I have no idea what

I’m doing and I was hoping an idea would come to me overnight and idea did not in fact come to me overnight but that’s okay I’m just going to start building and see where this takes Me I have literally no idea what I’m doing at this point I am just placing in dirt and hoping it looks Good honestly yeah that that kind of looks like it could be a house that’s what I was going for here I am placing dirt sideways here I am placing dirt vertical here I am removing dirt sideways here I am removing dirt vertical oh what’s that you’re boarded

Yeah me too here’s a time lapse you see how like half the time you see me build something I immediately get rid of it yeah this was such a trial and error process and before we continue a quick word from our sponsor it’s me hi I’m the

Sponsor it’s me so I’m editing the video right now and I realized I did a terrible job of explaining while I was building actually I explained nothing while I was building this is an archway they are Arch shaped one they look cool and two these can make pretty good

Entrances into your build if you see a big square like this it’s probably a wall of some sorts but where it gets really exciting is if you see a square in the middle of what could that be Brock it’s a window that’s what it is you’ll also see these weird squiggly

Things coming out of the build sometimes these are support beats what are they supporting you might ask another wall and then lastly this shape is the roof I think that’s pretty obvious and the entire outline was basically some iteration of these I would just take an

Archway or a wall or a roof and just stack them on top of each other over and over and over again well the good news is that I think this looks pretty dang good so far the bad news is that I am out of dirt so I’m uh yeah I’m I’m going

To go collect some dirt dirt dirt dirt dirt dirt dirt dirt I’m really sorry about that I don’t know what came over me even though I didn’t really want to at this point I realized it would probably be best if I automated my honeycomb collection from

The bee farm so before I got back to work building I set off to the nether to grab some quartz four and a half stacks should be enough in fact I know that’ll be enough that is completely overkill for what I’m doing you see up here at

The top to I’m pretty limited for space to have the Redstone capacities to build this Farm plus I like how this area looks and don’t really want to change it all too much so my best course of action is to dig a big hole down here oh no oh

No I’m in I’m in my thing honestly you know maybe we can turn this into the bee Farm the design should honestly be pretty simple so I have some HPP mine carts feeding into this Central chest over here now if we just go through with the layer of dispensers and some observers on top layer of blocks in the back right here some red stone over here

Oh I just made I made the B I made the B I made the B now we just need to add a layer of flowers so they can actually you know pinate the farm and finally a layer of glass so we can see what is

Going on oh I just fell in the hole oh my God no it’s it’s it’s it’s built wrong gosh dang it okay we got to try again B Farm one Brock zero but I knew what I did wrong so it really was a pretty simple fix and in the meantime I

Was able to go ahead and start decorating the room a little bit while I waited for nighttime again boom bam boom we have a bee farm and it looks pretty good well that was a fun side mission if you ask me but oh my Good Golly gosh

Would you look at the time it’s now I really need to stop with these dramatic day transitions it’s not that serious but on the third day I kept on building and you know what guys I built for 3 hours straight and didn’t say a single

Word maybe I was locked in maybe my mic was muted I will never know but that’s right baby sides three and four we’re officially done I’ve also started outlining these really cool staircases that go from the very bottom working their way up all the way to the top I

Want you to be able to navigate around it without having to exclusively use fireworks well I’ve made you sit through 10 minutes of me placing in dirt so I suppose it’s time we start putting in actual blocks and I feel like I should be more excited about this but I’m just

Really nervous like if I mess up now it actually will have real consequences and could set me back but it’s okay I’m going to ignore that feeling and and just start building look at me putting in real blocks to this build finally even though I have no idea what I’m

Doing still at this point aren’t you guys so proud of me o yeah I I kind of like this this is this is a pretty good start also exciting news the first window was in and honestly it looked pretty [Applause] good I think now is a good time to start

Smelting up some smooth Sandstone which I just remembered that you have to actually smell you can’t just use this stuff I also just realized that my idea is going to to require birch logs which I have none of thankfully there’s some over here though so here’s what I’m

Thinking an entire wall of this smooth Sandstone looks okay however if we go through like this add in some regular Sandstone followed by some Birch planks and then finally some Oak planks we have this sort of transition that looks like it’s a lot more realistic and kind of

Worn away and Bam suddenly it’s looking way more interesting up close and also from back here it looks really good from a distance so I want to go through here with some of this red Nether wart which I know is weird but maybe Trust Me Maybe I I don’t exactly know there’s this

Weird point when you’re making a Minecraft build where it’s really going to feel like it’s not coming together you’re going to place in some blocks you’re going to look at this build and you’re going to think what in the heck am I possibly doing right now this is

Awful and I’m currently at that spot I I really can’t imagine how this house is going to look anything good but I’m going to trust the process I’m going to keep adding detail and hopefully we can make this into something pretty A wise man once said that details are like

Pizza there’s no such thing as a bad one it’s me I’m the wise man turns out all this needed was some texturing a window and a fancy roof I’m also using these weird roof gradients that I can’t decide if I like or not or which style I like

So I’m just going to pick one and leave it for Now oh my God this looks good what the heck dude I love that now that you know what I’m doing here’s a timelaps of me building the entire front side of the wait what’s that oh wait really oh God I’m getting reports that uh something bad’s going to happen here I’m out of

Blocks like I’m running out of blocks so fast not every block but like a few of the really important ones for instance the red Nether wart thing that I use for the roof yeah don’t have any more of that smooth Sandstone I completely forgot you have to smell that so yeah I

Don’t have much of that either and I think it’d be really cool if we turn this house over here in the carrot field into a makeshift nether Tree Farm down here in the basement now I know what you’re probably thinking dude you’re digging a hole to grow the trees in that

You could just grow in the open air yes yes I Am I bet you like that Montage didn’t you well actually I want to ask you do you guys still like the montages I still throw them in because they’re so fun to make anyways clearing out this area took like way longer than it should have

There were so many caves full of so many mobs a lot of Enderman that had just been vibing under my base for God knows how long also I flew through this hole I don’t know why I’m showing you that but I thought it was pretty cool firstly

Here I want to go through and place the floor mostly with something different I guess like Spruce Wood is fine it’s pretty simple but it should look nice now in the very center here we’ll go the naum because this is where we’re going to farm the trees we’re going to need a

Chest to actually store things and then lastly I want to build a water elevator that way I have a good way of getting to the top that doesn’t involve me flying through here because that will surely kill me eventually right I pretty much spent the next entire hour just grinding

Away at these nether trees collecting as much of the nether War blocks as I Poss possibly could I also took some time while I was down here to use the crimsonwood as a simple decoration for this area because I won’t use it for anything else okay so right now the room

Looks like this I mean yeah it’s it’s not very cool and now it looks like this I lied to you you see it actually looks like this now did I get a little carried away uh maybe maybe I did but I just had so much of this Nether wart block that I

Thought I would use it for the backdrop I have storage in here we have an area over here to get the mushrooms themselves we we are absolutely grinding okay which is cool and all but I still need a way to smell all of my Sandstone

So I figured the only option was to make a super smelter okay it we’ll start here and it will go this way oh over this way bo bo bo bo bo okay so these feed these feed into meltable spot and on the back side we need some more Hoppers to

Distribute the fuel into the furnaces why why why are you doing this despite having no idea what I was doing I somehow managed to make this thing work now all there’s left to do is decorate this bad boy before had off in search of a bunch of sandstone I really got to

Find a desert man through the Gap through the Gap hey come on we got it oh through this one through this one let’s go yes I see one let’s go baby we only had to travel 6,000 blocks correction it was 10,000 blocks bam look at all this area we just

Got rid of in the best part is you can’t tell I did it because it’s Underground we’re going to dip down in the water we’re going to keep flying in back out I’m I’m so bored I’m so I’m so bored I just want to go home I have an announcement to make I

Built the whole thing from the bottom up you can see the whole thing is done I’m just kidding that that was a really dumb bit we are 15 minutes into this video and I have only built up one of the four sides so let’s change that and I pretty

Much just took what I learned from building up the first side and applied it here to the second side with just a little bit more flare dude that is so sick what oh my God hey babe got a second I don’t know what the hell that is but I think it’s

Cool okay so I’ve been building for the last like 6 hours and I think we finally have the first two sides done which is really cool because if we come over here and then slowly walk towards the base like we’re approaching it from a distance it looks like the base is fully

Done but yeah there’s still a ton to do on the other two sides so enjoy this dramatic Montage of me finishing It it’s been 10 seconds so yeah we’re due for a roadblock I did manage to get a pretty decent chunk of the third side builtup but as you can see I’m uh here at the creeper Farm because my wings keep breaking from having to fly up and

Down the build but honestly that was was a pretty easy problem to fix the bigger problem however is that I’m out of smooth Sandstone I’ve done this at least 20 times in my life and every time I hate it okay we made

It did I do it no I did not do it all right we’ll try it again bam we did it I broke the wrong one God dang it no aha hey we’re here we made it okay cool I think Brock maath is spending over an hour linking up portals on the nether

Roof that you’re probably only going to use like once in your entire life that’s okay I never claimed to be smart so I got to work collecting more Sandstone also uh before we get back to building I just want to show you this clip you’d think the leather armor would make me

More careful but what am I doing right here I feel like this video has hardly even been about building at this point but do you guys like all of these side missions I don’t know I’m just trying to make the video feel real and show you that when doing these large projects it

Pretty much never goes smoothly in terms of the build itself I’ve pretty much realized at this point that because the shape of this thing is so damn cool I can get away with using a pretty simple block pette and once I realized this I was kind of able to just zoom through

The build way faster than I had before it’s finally done and when I say done I mean officially the blocks are in place on the outside there’s still so much texturing to do but it’s 11:00 p.m. and I have been playing Minecraft for 14 hours today so I have no more brain

Function we’re going to call it for the night although I saw this thing where like if you if you look away like this and then you just do like a quick little turn it it’s it textures itself now is where the detail comes in and I

Wanted to turn my attention now to this staircase idea that I had been working on earlier uh yeah it just stops right here in the middle of the build so I continued building it this time wrapping it around the outside of the build as I went up I didn’t leave myself any more

Room to build it on the inside and also it just looks cool like this and upon timing myself it takes a whopping 57 seconds to make it from the bottom to the top look man no one ever said this Bas had to be efficient it just needs to

Be fun and look cool now before we get too carried away on the interior we need to address something this Center bottom area yeah it’s not good it’s not going to Work there we go that should do oh also I don’t think I mentioned it but we have a chimney now and it looks pretty cool I got to admit this like weird texturing I have going on big fan big fan a few days ago I was showing this base to my

Girlfriend and she said that her favorite detail were these trees over here which is really funny because these aren’t even part of the base it’s just literally where i cho my spruce trees from but it did get me thinking what if we remove this dedicated area for spruce

Trees and instead just grow some in ourselves honestly I think it looks pretty good it kind of fits in the vibe I wanted to scatter in a bunch of these tall spruce trees to break up the monotony of the Cherry Forest so after definitely not committing Mass DeForest

Station to get saplings I got to work planting unfortunately I still don’t have a very good bone meal sour over in these parts so this was a very expensive time lapse also I kept having these really weird short trees grow in but I’m going to leave them because I’m lazy and

We love our short kings around here at this point the forest was looking good but still lacking a little bit of life so I paid a visit to our sniffer Farm which is way too full by the way and grabbed myself some sniffer eggs now it’s still going to be a little while

Before these Little Squirts actually hatch and grow up and start contributing to society so I figured it was time to go in with a pathway connecting up the main base to the forest and it feels kind of weird having this pathway just stop right here so let’s not do that and

Instead we’ll kind of bring this along to the only other structure I’ve built out in these parts yeah that’s right baby we’re building a pathway to the creeper Farm now I can already hear you saying but Brock you’re not even going to use it why are you building a pathway

And you know what you’re right I’m not going to use this except I lied look at me right now using it in this time lapse oh I bet you’re so embarrassed aren’t you to really tie the area together I built up this bridge that connects the two Pathways and also went through

Expanding the Pathways over to my iron farm which I forgot about and finally after another Forest expansion the base is finally done except for the interior please give me ideas
