EPIC Trading Exchange! Minecraft Survival Guide 230

Hello everyone my name is pixel rifts and welcome back to the Minecraft Survival Guide I hope you guys are having a good day today don’t worry I did trade with the silk touch villager his trade – locked in I know a few people were worried about that yesterday

But today we are gonna get started on actually building this trading hall because at long last it is finally time and I figured if we’re gonna be curing a whole bunch of these zombie villages and converting them into folks who we want to trade with inside of here we’d better

Have some place for them to go I’m tired of making these temporary shelters for all of my villages as I go along I really want to have something permanent set up inside of here and tempting as it is to put a whole lot of effort into the

Interior first so I can figure out where everything is going to go I think I will probably have enough space in this massive oval that I’ve laid out let’s take another quick look at that from the air so you can see this is the space where I’m planning to put all of the

Villages and this is probably an oval I think it’s about 71 or maybe 65 blocks long I forget I went to plot Scott at UK to plot this whole thing out and it’s going to be a large structure I need to put down a few blocks just to get a feel

For exactly what the structure is gonna look like because once again I have really plotted anything out in creative quite yet I kind of want to freestyle a little bit of this and then maybe work on a couple of bits here and there one thing I do know is that right here I

Want to make a piston door because I want this place to be safe from pillager attacks and one of the main ways of doing that is to basically have some sort of door that will prevent access to the area inside and then to light the

Area inside up so that we don’t get any mob spawns and hopefully villagers aren’t encouraged to spawn there as well but I want to do some redstone stuff in the near future I want to do a little bit of a little bit bit of piston door mechanics and so around the outside I

Need to design something which is going to leave some room there for that to happen but first yeah I think I’m gonna play a little bit with block palette I want to stick to some of the stuff that we’ve already used to build around here

We use a lot of dark oak wood and spruce wood and stone and stone brick but I want this thing to stand out a fair amount so I think while we might have stone bricks as the accent as we do in the storage building I kind of want to

Make the walls out of some other stuff and the the cartographer he was looking down at his table but it almost made him look like he was sad at being left out don’t worry I am gonna move him inside of there he is one of my favorite new villages especially considering he

Trades me a unique banner patent that’s super cool so yeah we’re going to we’re gonna move some guys into here but first of all of course we have to figure out how we’re gonna build the building in the first place the real-life building I am loosely modeling this after is Leeds

Corn Exchange which is a building I’m quite familiar with having gone to university around that area of Leeds in the UK and it’s got a series of archways both on the inside and on the outside which kind of you know go around the perimeter of the building around the

Circumference and I think Leeds Corn Exchange is actually more of a circular building than an oval one but I don’t know the exact dimensions and I am really using it as more of I guess like a kind of loose idea of what I want to do with here rather than it being

Something that I’m trying to copy block for blocks so if you can find you know a picture of Leeds Corn Exchange or I can put one up on the screen right now you’ll probably get the idea of what I’m going for here but I kind of want to

Have some archways around the outside I think these are the bits that are going to be made out of stone brick like this and then yeah we can we can have them that the main problem I’m working with right now is the fact that the curvature of the building means that we’re going

To have to set some of this stuff back a little bit so the archways we end up with start looking like that and as we go further around the building they kind of connect to each other so what we end up with is a series of connected

Archways we could make them a little taller perhaps but behind each of these I think maybe to represent the variety of trades we can get inside of here I’m wondering if maybe we make the backgrounds different for each of the archways so we work with the curvature

Of the building a little bit here we keep the walls kind of in check like that and then this one here is a nether brick archway and the next one along might be a prismarine archway let’s roll this lad in here he’s kind of stuck on

That note no don’t go that way go back the other way let’s roll him into this bit here and then we can fill this up just roll a little bit further that way thank you and we can fill this up with dark prismarine and kind of contrast

Some of the stuff that it’s built out of here and there yes so maybe we go with different backgrounds for the maybe we make the archways a little taller and in the middle we can kind of prop up the next layer of stuff this has got to be quite a tall building I’m

Estimating probably about 15 to 20 blocks tall give or take and obviously the roof is going to come over on part of that as well and yeah I think this is gonna work out I do want to make sure that I can space these things evenly

Around the outside so I might have to start mirroring this on each of the corners just to make sure I have the symmetry right because otherwise I’m gonna come around to the other site and these archways are not gonna be in the same place on the opposite side of the

Building and it’s gonna be thoroughly confusing for everybody involved but the more I look at this the more I like the contrast between materials here just kind of spaced out with the stone brick I hope this makes sense to you guys I think a lot of this is just building

Mumbo-jumbo to some of you but I hope this will give you some idea of my thought process going into building this thing I’m gonna have a lot of fun doing this I think in some places just for the symmetry of it here we are gonna have to

Take out some of the blocks that are actually part of the wall here and replace those with the archway blocks or maybe pull it out one block but that’s gonna offset things from the wall that I’ve created around the outside of the building it’s weird working with

Irregular shapes like this is kind of difficult so this is perhaps a little unusual and I wonder if I might just strip it down to being dark prism arena and nether brick I kind of like that combination maybe I’ve just been hanging around this wall of netherrack too much

But I kind of like the nether brick in there it’s a nice contrast with the stone brick and I don’t really really like having stuff like bone blocks and granite and red brick in there so maybe we’ll just stick to a couple of different materials yeah I think I think

That might be better actually but I like the way this is coming together I’m getting a better idea of how I want to decorate it and around the outside we can add a few embellishments to these stone columns and stuff as well we can add stuff like stone brick stairs coming

Out of here as like supports and that kind of stuff we can make the building feel a little bit more built into the landscape we can add leaves around it and stuff like that and I do want to dress this up a little bit like it’s an

Outbuilding more so than just being a lump of Friz marine over here with a zombie it hit right so I think we’re gonna spend a little bit of time working on this build and of course this being me are we gonna do this in the form of a time-lapse [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] welcome back folks hope you enjoyed the time-lapse and right now we’re looking at the interior of the build which obviously still has a lot of work yet left to do with it I’m actually not going to really have much of the exterior part of the build showing on

The inside it’s going to be a very different interior to how it looks on the outside but I just thought we would get the Foundation’s laid today get the walls built up obviously I still have to add a roof and I still want to do a

Bunch of detail work on the exterior I have started doing bits and pieces of it in this time-lapse I had a couple of fun ideas for details on the outside here with gold blocks kind of inset into the walls and we have like foliage hanging down from lanterns up there to light it

And I really wanted to see what this place looks like at night because I just think the lanterns up there are really going to add a little bit of atmosphere to the build I’ve also added a few lanterns in kind of up next to the windows around this side here and around

Some of the sections of red nether brick and regular nether brick rather and dark prison marine around the outside I just want to see this place lit up a little bit however I am still a little bit weary of letting it get too dark around here because I haven’t lit up the

Interior of this place all that well and even that may not be enough to save as some of the villagers because I regret to reports a tragic loss amongst the number of villages that we have gathered around this site already and guys it’s a really hard thing to deal with because

As I was starting that time-lapse as I was starting the life stream where I recorded a bunch of the stuff that happened in the time lapse we were beset upon by a horde of pillagers a patrol spawned really close to the outside of the ring of this building here where the

Netherrack wall was and while only one of them ended up spawning inside the area over this building that we were working on a few spawned on the outside and they spawned a right in front of our friend the cartographer after I’d even said earlier in the episode how he was

One of my new favorite villages unfortunately our cartographer was shot by pillager crossbowmen and that really really stings it really sucks because I I could light up this entire area with some sort of torch grid but I don’t want to be doing this I don’t really want to have

All of my time spent just making sure that pillages can’t spawn out here during the day and that’s the problem at the problem that distinguishes pillages from zombies is that they will spawn any time during the day just based on proximity to the player and while the

Minecraft Wiki has said in the past I don’t know if it still says this but it has said in the past that they shouldn’t spawn within 200 blocks of a valid village which to be honest this should be because it has a bunch of villages at work stations and a bed

They still spawned literally right over there and killed one of my villages which makes me a little bit upset about the game a little bit upset at the game right now but what I’m not upset about frankly is how well we’ve done with this building on the outside at least I’m

Really quite happy with it I think it looks really really great and I want to add a bunch more detail like I said I want to do some exterior detail work on here I want to make the walls that feel a little bit thicker I want to have a

Roof on the thing I want to have a three by three piston door type of thing here whether it’s going to be a piston door that moves blocks around or one that moves sand up and down and or concrete powder which you can now have in 16 colors so

It’s actually a hit a lot more diverse to use than sand for a kind of gravity assisted door I think we’re gonna have a little bit of fun with that you might be looking at this thinking wow this is kind of a big place to have

A few villages in just a handful of villages and that is why I need to talk to you about how many villages we’re going to have in here because it’s going to be a fair number in that trading hall over there of course we had maybe like I

Want to say 6070 villages I think that’s how it turned out and that might seem like a bit of an excessive number in here we’re going a little bit better we’re gonna go for probably around 80 villages and you’re probably wondering why on earth I need 80 villages for a

Start there are 37 enchantments in the game and that doesn’t count the different tiers of Enchantment you can get so for example efficiency one through five I’m counting that as a single enchantment including the curses I believe cursor binding and curse of vanishing there are 37 possible

Enchanted books that we could trade from these guys and there is no guarantee when we find a librarian and cure him from the zombification process there is no guarantee that we are going to be getting a you know a top-tier book from them like right here I have unbreaking 3

And impaling 5 that is great 2 enchantments top tier from the same villager the other ones though power 3 lure one not necessarily the best so this guy while he might be doing the work of two villages we’re not going to guarantee to get that every single time

So in theory we’ll probably need about 30 librarians to cover all of the enchantments that I want to get and I want all of the enchanted books at my disposal even the ones that I probably wouldn’t use all that much like the cursed books the idea here is not to

Have all of this stuff because I’m going to need it the idea here is to have all of it because we can have it all and just to show you guys the wide variety of stuff it is possible to get purely through villager trading by the same

Token we will need a whole bunch of Sheppard’s we will need a whole bunch of cartographers we will need a whole bunch of other villages because many of them will only trade one or two varieties of something that can hamp have like 16 colors so if you think the cartographer

Had a green banner and a blue banner cartographers can also trade banners of the other 14 colors in the game it’s just that that guy happened to have both green and blue and now we need another one of him but we also need probably eight cartographers

To get all of the possible banner color combinations and sometimes those cartographers may even have duplicates of the ones that the others have so we are probably going to be going through a lot of cartographers in order to get all 16 colors represent it same goes for shepherds

Same goes for stonemasons which trade terracotta and glazed terracotta I want to have all of those colors available to me as well and in many cases that’s actually going to be an advantage because when trades lock up for example if I trade a bunch of pumpkins here with

My farmer usually they are quite quick to restore that if they have the work station in front of them of course which right now I didn’t because it was interfering with the villager curing process but if they have workstations in front of them as of one point 14.4

Villages will refresh their trades very very quickly and so we don’t need a whole row of farmers in order to trade a bunch of pumpkins all at once however once the next update comes around apparently that is a bug that they have seen fit to fix

So as of Minecraft 1.15 which we presume is going to be the next update we will receive we’re not going to be able to trade a bunch of pumpkins with the same farmer all in one day we’re gonna get maybe three opportunities to trade first thing in the morning when they refresh

Their trades and then later on they refresh their trades a second time we’re probably only gonna get two or three opportunities to do that so it’s gonna help to have multiple of these villages even if we don’t plan to use say like a farmer who has a wheat

And beetroot trade where as we might use carrots potatoes we’re probably going to score the highest amount of emeralds through trading stuff like pumpkins and melons same with the stonemasons I’m planning on trading a lot of bricks and a lot of quartz with them so it’s gonna

Be nice to have a huge amount of stonemasons that we can just go down the line and trade with them one by one and get as much of the material as we want or need on top of that you have the other professions like butchers and Fletcher’s many of whom will have

Different trades that they can potentially have for their early tiers the kind of novice and journeyman tiers will have a few different results this leather worker for example trades me leather pants and so forth but he doesn’t trade me leather boots anywhere in this kind of set of trades that he

Has generated so we’re gonna need one that trade to leather boots once again leather stuff is not going to be necessary to me as a player but I might want to put it on armor stats and I just like to have the option available

To me this guy also has a flint trade we might be able to get Flint trades from other villages but then that might not allow us to get some of the other trades that they have available so we might need three or four Armorer’s or three or

Four weapon Smith’s or folks like that not to mention that weapon Smith’s tool Smiths and Armorer’s will all have enchanted diamond gear which might have different enchantments on it and those traits are not gonna be available until the later tiers so those are going to be

The ones that we’ll have to lock the first set of trades in and just roll the dice and see what we get later on and if we get a bunch of different villages with a bunch of different armor trades there might be some cool stuff that we

Can combine so it will help to have a variety of the trades represented in here aside from that I actually want to turn this place into something that looks a little bit like a social space think of it more like a fantasy medieval shopping mall I guess which is sort of

What Leeds Corn Exchange is aside from the fantasy medieval part it is very much like a shopping center so it’ll be kind of nice to have a fountain in the middle and some balconies and different kind of booths and shops and stuff like that maybe dress up the villager trading

Element of this so it feels like the villages are staffing shops instead of just standing here in Little Boots as long as it is zombie safe and pillage you’re safe and we don’t have any more casualties like our unlucky friend the cartographer I’m gonna be a lot happier

With the experience and I think it’s going to really fit in with the style of the world we have here but that is gonna be it for this episode of the Minecraft Survival Guide I’m really happy with the progress we’ve made and I’m sorry we do

Have to cut it a little bit short here and for those of you who watch this series live as you’re watching it as the videos are coming out over the next few days there are going to be a few different videos coming out and they’re not gonna be coming out as regularly

Over the next week because I am lucky enough to be able to go on holiday and take a few days off so while there are not going to be daily episodes next week I will probably try to get a couple of episodes up here and there just depends

What I can pre record over the weekend but I hope you guys will enjoy them they might be episodes of the Minecraft Survival Guide they might be something a little bit different I might throw a couple of other tutorials that don’t really fit in with the vanilla minecraft

Series in general but some stuff you might still want to look out for I particularly want to do a couple of small tutorials on how to use the replay mode which is the mod that I use to do a lot of the time-lapse segments in these

Episodes and I hope you guys will enjoy that I’ll be back in October with a brand new set of Minecraft Survival Guide videos for you so make sure you stick around for those thank you so much as always for watching please don’t forget to leave a like on this episode

If you enjoyed it subscribe if you want to see more and I’ll see you guys soon take care bye for now You
