EPIC Mining Entrance & Crane Build! | Minecraft 1.18 Hardcore Survival Let’s Play (#2)

Welcome back everybody to my 1.18 hardcore series this is episode 2. we all know that 1.18 added some amazing caves and cliffs but i’m going to be focusing on the caves for this episode i want to dedicate an entire build to a mine shaft so that’s what we’re gonna be

Working on obviously i can’t show you the build right now but this thing is super epic and if you do stay tuned for the whole time consider liking the video and subscribing helps me out a ton and i’ll see you guys in the video alrighty we are back in 1.18 and we have

Some things to do today first off look at the house still looking beautiful as ever but i think it’s a little lonely on this cliff side i think we need to add another building or well hopefully a few all right so we have this flat area down here right and uh

I want to terraform everything that’s on this side of the river today because this area right here i want to turn into a mine and uh i have an idea for it but this entire section needs to be terraformed so basically today we’re gonna be doing a lot of terraforming and

Then a really really awesome mine and to do that we’re gonna need a lot of blocks we’re probably gonna have to enchant some things eventually and uh yeah probably a lot of tools however when it comes to enchanting we uh we don’t have a lot of sugarcane and our

Our where is it there we know where i organized everything i swear yeah and our leather not great we do have the cows but we don’t have enough sugar cane so we can’t even do that yet but what we can do is we can take a diamond we can

Take a couple sticks here and we can crack we don’t have a crafting table up hmm okay that’s gonna have to be fixed craft ourselves a diamond shovel which will definitely outmatch our iron one for sure and hopefully get us enough dirt to do all of this terraforming now

That we’re on the other side of the river i’m looking at this and this is gonna be a lot of work okay first off i want to terraform it so that it curves a lot better than how how is it like so cubey how is this how is this so cube

Okay i’m asking that and i know it’s minecraft but still maybe for today’s episode we build the mine and we terraform this area here instead of all of this because we haven’t even gotten over there yet and i think it’s better to stick to where we are and this is the

Mother of first things first so let’s gather a ton of dirt and hope that we’re gonna have enough for this project Oh well that broke so uh i think we have enough dirt and honestly i kind of feel like we did this train some justice okay this area was not looking hot beforehand and now it’s it’s dirt but um that still looks better all right so i kind of want

To start here because i have a feeling i’m going to do something else with this area later and i just ah i want to cover this up because i don’t like it that much and you’re going to get covered up but but i just want to make this area look a

Little bit you know more natural which is funny because i’m trying to make minecraft look natural even though currently it looks natural yeah i know it’s like the um okay i’m just trying to make it look better okay that’s all i’m trying to do make it look

A little bit better and i believe i can do that if you know i successfully pull this off i’ve never terraformed anything correctly in my life so this is uh this is definitely a first for me i don’t know i’m already not loving it so that’s hmm

That’s good okay so i’ve made myself an outline here of what i kind of want it to be and i realized that i i went that way too and i probably shouldn’t have because i want to stick with this area today and hopefully for this foreseeable

Future this area will be done but for now i want to stick over here look but i i thoroughly apologize now that we’re back up here i want to make this entire area flat not because like that’s how i think when i’m like i gotta build

Something so it’s gonna be flat no i’m gonna probably terraform it even more but for the cliffs i wanted it all to be covered up so i know exactly how much work i really have to be doing i honestly want to do some sort of like overhang with this grass and i’m not

Sure if i want it to go out and then overhang or if that would be too much do i want to do it like some areas maybe i don’t know okay so my plan failed um i have no idea what i’m gonna do but i made it two two down i guess i

I guess that’s what i’m i was planning i don’t know i have no clue but we’re gonna have to clear out some of this mountain side here if i want to actually pull this off and i believe ah i don’t know what to do but i wanna bring some of it down

A little bit here and there so that it’s a bit staggered because otherwise it’s gonna look extremely man-made so we’re just gonna hang some of it down a little bit here and there so that it’s uh it’s like covering the stone a little bit hopefully once i get stoned yeah i

Think this stone will do all right well i believe this is gonna be our our stone collection area and uh you will not look the same after this bud Okay to be fair i thought it would look a little bit more indented but when you think about it it was like this and then like that so yeah i kind of did a number on that place but now i have a ton of stone and

I keep breaking pickaxes like i have an excess of them i don’t know what i’m doing but i guess it’s time to turn most of this into stone so that’ll be a very long and great process of waiting okay so i have a few stacks of stone ready

And of course there’s already a creeper down here good thing i brought some torches and now that that’s dealt with we just add in our stone and hopefully a cliff pattern we’ll see how this turns out okay new plan i’m gonna make the stone and the

Dirt drip down and then it gonna go into a straight on on stone wall because i don’t really want to make it like curve out like an indent so honestly i think it looks pretty good already over here at least um i still got a lot of work to do and i’m

Sinking all right new update um i think this is looking really nice okay i’m not i mean i am no terraforming genius or anything like that but this is looking pretty nice obviously i still have some areas to fill out with stone but i don’t know i’m thinking this is kind of good

I’m thinking this is kind of good once i get some stairs slabs uh andesite cobblestone all that kind of detailing stuff in here it’ll look even better and i have so much more to go but i think once i get around here we’ll be good for the day all alrighty

Consider yourself semi-blended but honestly look at this this is this is pretty nice i won’t even like i’m not i’m not a builder i’m not i’m i’m learning okay this is this is nothing of this is nothing of great okay greatness here but this is this is pretty cool i

Like this a lot and i think this just kind of tops it off this is such a i really like this okay so we’re gonna add some slabs stairs and then eventually i’m assuming we’re gonna do some andesite and cobblestone but for now i kind of want to leave it because i’m

Really itching to build this um this cave entrance and i believe this area right here is where we’re going to build so let’s take away some of these trees here and get ourselves a landscape going and then maybe grab some dirt and just add a little bit more variation of the

Ground here because this is just not okay all right i believe this is a little bit better because we’ve we’ve raised this up one and i i think i kind of blended that in a little bit okay over there maybe i i can’t tell maybe one more here and

That’s you know what it’ll it’ll do it’ll do but now this is definitely big enough for me to build on and create exactly what i want to create right over here this is gonna look awesome first however we gotta sleep and then we gotta go back to material gathering oh no

First up spruce okay really i thought that would work second granite and last but not least a ton of copper all right now that we have all the materials i say we get to building so for this build i wanted to do something completely different try and make it a

Little bit more steam punky so i was using granite copper deep sleep dark oak everything i could really think of for this build i made the entrance a little bit of an extrusion i made a little bit of a house on the side which i mean i kind of want

To do for almost every build because it just ties in with the village concept that i’m working on then whenever i moved over to the copper tower i wanted to use dark oak on the side because i’ve already been using that with towers and i think it looks a

Little bit better when it comes to this color scheme because i’m already using it down below and of course i use spruce accents on it because i mean it’s spruce you have to incorporate spruce in every build at this point then i wanted to do something a little

Bit with a copper tower because i mean to be honest it didn’t look great so i used cut copper stairs to kind of add like a little bit of an outline around it and i thought it was really bad until i added these stone brick walls for some

Reason it just tied it in i don’t know why then i did a failed attempt on the top of the granite box with some dark oak but i later fixed it with granite and spruce which somehow made it look even better Alright now that we have the building of our mind finished i think we have one more special thing to do and that is add a crane to the side and of course we have the interior and the mine part but i’m more excited about the crane to

Start off the build i had to add in a dock so i could at least house the crane there then i continued with the stone foundation and then used a lot of different spruce woods barrels oak trap doors grindstones chains all of this just to make the crane basically i

Wanted to make a little bit of a story behind the crane and i’m sure as i developed this world i will add a lot more to this area obviously there’s stone holding up the back and there’s this little trolley on the end so that you can pull stuff up i don’t know

Exactly what this is used for yet but i’m sure we’ll come up with the lore later and i definitely have to say this is probably my favorite build of the world just because of the little minuscule details that i’ve added okay i think this build turned out a lot

Better than i planned i mean look at this we have a crane for our our mine and i don’t know if i love where this is currently located i might want it one lower but for now it’s at least on equal height here so like it kind of looks

Like it’s being brought over i i don’t know yet but anyway this looks really cool all right last but not least we have to tackle this inside because currently it is just it’s just a storage area at this point i mean i could just put

Chests in here but this is not it we’re doing a mine so yeah we’re gonna have to make a mine in here all right this is kind of what i envisioned for the storage room just simple barrels on the floor we’ve got a few chests in here

Like i don’t think i’ll be using this much so it’s more or less decoration but i still wanted to get it done just in case i did end up like storing cobblestone or something in here so something i really want to add in at a later date is some sort of like really

Big blast furnace thing where i just have to put something in a chest and we’re good i wanted to kind of put it here but now that i’m seeing the area that i have to work with i kind of want to just make this the mine you know now

That i think about it when i was showing off this world one of my friends i did get this pickaxe okay and i haven’t showed you guys yet so um yeah i’ve got that that’s why my levels are a little low because i i tried again

Luckily i got this so you know what i’m okay with that because i’m about a mind forever and i definitely needed efficiency okay so we finally made it to our first stop on the list and of course it showed up for us copper this is gonna

Be our first area that we’re gonna be stopping this uh this train here and uh hopefully we can do this correctly all right so um i guess i was gonna come out to here and then i’m uh i don’t know um how we stop on this level is probably

Just going to be me getting off or like died boom i don’t know i don’t know okay now we are down to y16 and i believe this is the best or one of the best spots for iron i think at like the lower levels this is the best spot because i believe

There’s one like super high up that i just i don’t really want to mess with so we’re just gonna stick down here and again don’t exactly know i’m how i’m gonna stop it but uh yeah now we go down more okay that’s not what i was expecting to

Find while i was down here i’m truly not looking for diamonds i mean i’m okay with it because i need it oh man oh but i have my fortune pick and i got oh i got 10 out of that that’s nice i’m so glad because i’m out of diamonds so

That’s that is a very welcome surprise well i found the correct level for diamonds um just surrounded by a bit of lava yeah so the the mine is done it’s um it’s gonna need the rails all the way down and i’m i don’t know exactly where this

Is located but i would love to put down a very interesting tunnel system all the way back up to the base where i can throw items and they go into like hoppers into a chest up there now i believe the last thing before i detail this which i really don’t want to do

Right now is adding something to our actual build now the idea with this up here is honestly i just wanted something that would look a little bit different in this build and i think this does and it would have like a dispenser here with minecarts so i could just like flick a

Lever here and then get in and then it’ll ride me down i don’t know exactly how that makes sense but uh it’ll work eventually i’m sure well as well as it gives me a really nice area up here to do with what i want so like i could actually maybe put some more

Storage up here something like that i i don’t exactly know but now i can get up here and use this area as i please maybe we make this a staircase as well all right so one very very long journey down below and then back up and below and

Back up determined that the idea that i wanted to do with this building specifically is not going to be happening originally what i wanted was a pipe from all the way down below going all the way up that would feed into the building like from over here or from

Already inside the building into a hopper system that would put it in a chest up here and then maybe even store it in like multiple chests like this stuff up here but that idea has to be scrapped for the build due to the fact that i have this mind going all the way

Down this thing was a twisty windy path and unfortunately it’s looking like it’s gonna stay that way for now at least and i don’t have the resources to move it heck i don’t even have the resources to finish it like i don’t even have powered

Rails in this thing yet so i’m gonna put this building on hold for now but overall i think it was a success i mean look at this thing it’s pretty cool we got to add some lights on the outside though because this uh this is getting a

Little scary okay a little bit of a lighting trip later and i think this place looks better as well as i need to add a little bit of light over here just so that it makes it hopefully a little less mob spawnable proof uh was a wording for that anyway overall i

Believe this build turned out exactly how i wanted and it’s in a really nice location compared to my house i believe next episode i’m gonna have to work on a lot a lot a lot of decorating especially pathwork but maybe in between all of that stuff we can find a spot for these
