EPIC Transformation of Ancient City in Minecraft!

Hey guys so lace here and welcome back to Hardcore Minecraft where last time we built these two new buildings to supply us with endless diamonds and iron however today I want to take my world to the next level we are going to tackle an ancient city that we found during

Episode 1 as I want to transform this place into a safe haven for our villagers where we can get equipped with the best armor and tools to help us survive in this harsh hardcore World starting with absolutely nothing my aim is to set up an underground economy through villager trading but first

Trying to survive any encounters with the dreaded Warden please leave a like And subscribe if you’re new I’m almost at 10,000 subs and it would be awesome to reach that Target let’s get to it my first aim for the day is getting an Ender Chest to carry more resources that

We’re going to need for today and before we go to the nether for blaze rods we’re going to need a few things starting off at the XP farm to top up our levels before heading home to craft and enchant some new gear two brand new pickaxes a

Shovel and our very first bow because um nether now to use that fresh acquired XP and enchant these guys nice right we’re almost good to jump into The Nether to find our first Fortress but first we need to stop by our Cows as I’m running low on food let’s just pop those in

There donning my gold heart it’s time we find that Fortress and get this episode up and running I set off heading north in the hope of finding a load of Blaze so we can make our very first Ender Chest to double our carrying capacity which will save us so much time when we

Go to collect the resources we need for building today oh there it is now I just need to find a way down there H after digging around for quite a while and jumping over the world ending lava I finally found a decent and Safe Way in

There it is there it is making my way around the Fortress looking for a blaze spawner I just wanted to get in here get enough rods and get out of it aha Blaze spawner I’m not a massive fan of the nether it’s full of death so

The least time I can spend in here as possible the better okay that’ll do that’ll do let’s get out of it let’s get out of it and the last thing we need to make an Ender Chest is of course an ender pearl let’s just cheese this Enderman thank you very much

Putting that with the blaze powder we get an Eye of Ender now the obsidian to that and our very first ender chest with all that sorted it’s time to get out into the world and get some resources I’m heading a few thousand blocks to the south of Terra Cotta along with my

Trusty Steed and as fast as this guy is I’m still missing not having Wings on this world everything just takes so long with enough box gathered to fill my inventory and the new Ender Chest it’s time to jump on my best friend in the whole wide world that I wouldn’t want to

See any harm come to at all and head home um problem horse where is my horse oh no I can’t believe I’ve lost my horse however during my stupidly Long Walk Home that took me at least 30 minutes to complete it struck me I put him in a

Hole so turning around I went back to get him as I couldn’t leave him alone in the wilderness he’s my best friend on this game after all there he is ah I thought I’d lost you forever I’m so happy right now with best friends back together it’s time to head home again

Oh come on buddy survive survive survive ah oh no and that is exactly why I shouldn’t be trusted with Minecraft animals with terra cotta gathered and my horse gone we can now gather all the remaining resources we need for the upcoming build heading down our mine I

Wanted to gather as much gravel Stone Anders granite and diorite as I could carry before heading back up to the sunshine and Gathering a load of spruce wood we’re also going to need a lot of that because uh bestwood my ax is pretty much broken after that chopping let’s

Head inside and make two new ones we’re not done with chopping wood just yet enchanters not being kind today never mind we combine with these axes we can put that one in that one in efficiency for Unbreaking that’ll do right let’s get out and about we’ve got the path now so we’ve

Got the Path ah Moss is that Mo it is moss moss Moss not being the kind of person to pass up this opportunity I jump down into the hole to gather clay and Moss before continuing on our journey for more wood I’m after jungle and Acacia to pretty much

Complete our access to all kinds of wood and also get a few of those saplings so we can grow them ourselves I also found this massive cave where we could collect a load of dripstone and with that we have everything we need to get building before we tackle the ancient city I’m

Going to need an item that will help us conquer the under World wool lots of wool so the first thing we’re going to do is build a sheep farm grabbing all the resources we’re going to need to build this place as well as crafting all the Redstone components we’re going to

Need including those awful dispensers we should now have everything we need to get this Farm up and running we just need the Sheep to put into the farm good that’ll do for now I need 16 sheep minimum one come buddy can you come you yes good more sheep Target acquired oh

Have I got a new home for you or we will have you’ll love it trust me in we come here we come baby please thank you three 13 to go after wrangling a few more sheep from the surrounding area we can now get started on the build starting off I’m

Going to place barrels to where I want our stuff to go and we’ve got 16 sheep so we’re going to need plenty of barrels I’m thinking six on this side 1 2 3 4 5 6 six on this side not the seven four and then Six good we’re looking good we’re looking good now to get the sheep in uh we need these if it’s a wool Farm now for all the colors red orange yellow magenta purple pink cyan light blue blue black white brown lime green green light gray yay all the colors all

The colors now to get this Farm up and running we just need the shears luckily we have this iron farm right next to the wool farm and with those in now we can collect the wool while we build starting off with the barn we can have a one

Block layer of dripstone where we can build up from at the front I want a nice big entrance made out of strip Tasia as a contrast to the rest of the build some Spruce trap doors added to the side for texture before going on to add some

Walls out of our gray blocks finishing the front of the barn using more Spruce Wood and light gray terracotta from here we need to finish the rest of it so I took the light gray Terra Cotter and Spruce all the way around forming the main walls of the

Build after that it was all about the roof all topped off with a tower at the top to break up the Bland roof just a little bit and from here I wanted to make the build fit into the surrounding area a little more adding paths to the

Area is going to help as well as adding a lot of greenery like leaves and a few fields of Wheat and also a poppy field next to the iron farm just to signify that’s what it is let’s just bone meal this bit here for a bit of

Texture and that’s it this place is now complete oh it’s looking amazing down here look at it glint in the sunshine that’s it the barn is done and we have a load of wool coming in so let’s grab a load the colors don’t matter at all and let’s go and conquer

The ancient city okay down to the ancient city we go fingers crossed we don’t die I mean I’m liking this place I don’t want to lose it just yet if I just don’t want to lose it at all in fact before we go down to the ancient City

There’s just a couple of things I want to do first up is to plant a carrot field we’re going to need loads of carrots later and I’ve got one wow what a field that is Boom there we go carrot carrot field is underway look at it look at it I’m

Also running out of food again so another trip to the cows with beef in hand and a load of wool it’s time to go and conquer the ancient city oh what am I doing what am I doing episode three ancient city as we clamber down Into the Depths it is now

Hitting me that this is make or break for our hardcore world for me to survive I’ll have to avoid all contact with the warden if I get stuck or cornered by him it’s game over and everything we have done up to now will be lost my aim is to

Clear out this entire ancient city and make it safe for us to build down here we need to take those guys out as well as those guys now can we do that do that do we actually need the wool or have I just done the wool for no apparent reason

Whatsoever oh well better safe than sorry stealthily making my way through the ancient city and taking out the shers and skull sensors I was getting confident this is going to be a piece of cake to clear this place out easy Easy oh no there’s all them there uh hi oh that’s it run oh he’s coming oh he’s coming uh I shouldn’t have said this was easy should I there he is there he is but you’re in for it Buddy he showed him progress through the ancient city was slow but I was getting there taking out all the shriekers I could could find before they could summon the messenger of death only my stupidity could stop me now and he shers around there what’s up here oh no oh no oh no oh No where is he [Applause] we’re going high there he is I can’t see a thing soy what have you done and now I’m above lava so what have you done oh what am I what am I doing what am I doing why did I decide to do this project

I’m just going to go back around this corner continuing through I was on a roll now taking out everything that I could find I even took out two cave spider spawners from the abandoned M shaft that was down the ancient city good I don’t need to contend with

These guys as well as the warden ah yeah I’m not falling into your traps no no no but stupidity again not only got me once now we’re in problems now we’ve got [Applause] problems oh there he is there he is O can we get safe over here oh God he’s

Coming oh there was another sneaky shrier somewhere but twice uhoh just go high go high look at all that there as well no no no no he’s coming up the water you have got to be kidding me it can swim oh God we can swim after these scares and stupidity I battled through and got rid of the remaining shriekers I also found two Swift sneak books in one chest but then wa three enchanted golden apples in one chest oh we’re safe yes oh ancient city episode 3 I didn’t

Die no dying here after surviving the dangers of the ancient city it’s time to get some fresh air and expand on our pitiful carrot Farm if we wanting to make a villager breeder we’re going to need a lot more of these also it’s time to upgrade some of our armor I’m wanting

To get protection four onto our leggings as well as that Swift sneak three book we just found in the city so a quick trip to the XP farm again to top up on levels and then back home to crash some new gear before enchanting them them combine with with

You combine with them yes combine with swift sneak that’s a good set of pants good set of pants on oh look at us sneak look at us go after successfully crafting the pants of our dreams it’s finally time to rip out some of that warden’s house it needs

Plenty of tidying up before we can bring our villagers down into their forever home spending a couple of hours down here with no Beacon to at least speed things up on the Deep this was a painful slog to get everything cleared up that I wanted to I removed a load of structures

From around the city to make way for some housing but I also left some walkways and taller buildings just to remind ourselves that this is still the ancient city I also managed to get rid of that abandoned M shaft that had spawned here we’re not going to need

That at all it was also quite handy as I got a load of wood from removing it this place is looking amazing and look at the difference but now it’s time to move on starting with the Villager breeder and to get that up and running we’re going

To need a few bits which means another trip to the nether ground mushrooms for making the potions and glow stone for light what you’re there you’re right there ah first time oh underhead thank You oh that Swift sneak scared me then I thought I wasn’t creeping oh I’m not going to lie my heart is in my mouth getting to work on the Villager breeder we need to dig out a pretty big area where we can breed them assign them jobs

And introduce them to a zombie placing down beds and a load of trap doors we are now good to get in our prisoners I mean uh villagers a quick stoper at our home for the carrots that had actually grown so we can get this Farm to work

And now for the workforce I snag the last two remaining villagers I have no idea what happened to the others and you go and there we go both villagers are in the farm with those two guys in the final piece of our jigsaw is a zombie so

We can cure The Villages for cheaper prices can you uh pick that up please buddy yes oh you keep moving in you come ah in place yes right now I’ve got the villagers and the zombie in place there’s just one more thing I need before we can cure them gold lots of

Gold we’re going to need this to turn normal apples into golden apples so making my way around the nether I gathered every single little bit of gold that I could find can I have that back please oh right right thank you back home now and we can

Put all our well-earned gold into our smelters and fire up the blast furnaces with almost seven stacks of gold ingots that should be enough to get us going or at least I hope so and for our villagers to be useful for us we first have to

Give them a job then send them through our zombie to be prodded by his brand new sword and from here moving them onto the next stage where they can have a shower and a little snack while the village is cure we can now look at giving them somewhere to live down here

My idea is to build a a nice Village for them with the law being that they wanted somewhere nice to live away from the dangers of the nighttime up top all they had to do was get rid of the threats of the warden then they could live in peace

Forever with no more mobs to disturb them my aim was to add a lot of color into this place as there’s just a lot of dark blocks down here being the deep dark and all so we’re looking at a lot of Mangrove copper bricks and Terra Cotter and these first two buildings

Were a good start to bring the outside down into the cave we’re going to need a lot of green color so obviously we had to bring some grass down here where I also gave the ground a bit of elevation to change it up a bit and make it a bit

Less flat and boring onto the next few houses for the Librarians and cartographers again I added a lot of color this time introducing some warped wood to bring some extra green color down here also with the addition of a few Towers to vary the height a bit I

Wanted to make sure that the buildings were pretty close together down here as we can hide a bit of the ancient city in the background which will then open up when you go around the corner and this will be better to see when we had more villager houses when we need them with

Our houses now up I began moving all our healed librarian Villages into the forever homes this was the easy bit just using rails to get them all there I want them all in one place instead of having them roaming around I face problems doing that in the past so this time

We’re playing it smart after the Librarians I wanted to get the cartographers in so the same process of healing feeding them apples getting their place ready for them to move in and then using the easy process of getting him there this is going pretty well actually next up is the turn of the

Armorers toolsmiths and weaponsmiths I’m not going to need much room for these guys at the moment as I’m settling for five each so their houses are a tad smaller and I I should have done these guys a lot sooner as we can trade iron with them for emeralds I’ve got an iron

Farm why didn’t I use that lesson learned I suppose so a quick trip up to the iron which has been working so well while we’ve been working away and now we have all the iron to get easy emeralds with we can get one Emerald per one iron

Ingot with those last villagers in we are complete around here well with these guys anyway if it wasn’t for the latest update in Minecraft diamonds would be worthless however with these guys we now have weapons or axes for one Emerald we’ve got armor a full set for one

Emerald each and to cap it all off we’ve got we’ve got diamond pickaxe for one Emerald each each no longer do we have to use diamonds to make stuff like that he’s got Unbreaking three I shall take one of them thank you that’ll do I’ll

Take one of them as well thank you very much now with my newly acquired tools from those guys that are going to get upgraded later on it’s time to do something about this place is looking a bit be Grim the first thing we need to

Get around here and make it look like a proper Village a paths from here I also added a load of trees into the area to give it a bit more life followed by really decorating the area and including a pond outside the farmer’s house which makes it feel a little more like home

I’m really starting to like this place now around the other side in front of the armor is we can put a nice little well I don’t know why I just think it fits and also what I think will look pretty cool is if we buy some diamond

Armor for one Emerald per piece and we can place that all on a stand just outside to show what this little area is all about and with that we have done it we have survived the ancient city and the warden and have created a little

Oasis with no mobs at all in a usually hostile environment hopefully you guys enjoyed what we’ve done here today that took me so so long and if you have please don’t forget to subscribe and I’ll catch you in the next one
