Hardcore Minecraft just got EASY! Episode 2

A lot of you expressed last episode that you really would like to see through this world I apologize I should have given it to you in episode one but um here it is now down in the description okay go look at it and you know what if

You want maybe while you’re down there you could um subscribe please I would appreciate it okay um thank you let’s get into the episode welcome to Hardcore Minecraft in this series we are transforming a village in the new 1.20 update last episode we got a good start to things discovering archeology

Building a starter house and starting to enchant some gear but now in order to progress even further we need diamonds and lots more XP so today we hit the mines and see how many resources we can acquire oh a fresh new day and Hardcore Minecraft last episode we started on our

Enchanting table and um well I’m still working on that to be honest but we also are really gonna need something to enchant AKA diamonds here you go cows oh and chickens why not since food is no longer much of an issue now that we have

The arms up and running I feel like it’s finally time that we can probably hit the caves I’ve got torches and a shield and that’s basically everything you need right to go caving I think maybe you know what maybe I’ll take the diamond pickaxe I don’t want to break it though

So I’ll give it an Unbreaking one enchant to at least have something on it okay chickens egg of good luck I’m off in the caves I’m excited to go caving near the mountains instead of by The Village mostly because I want a drip stone for a

Future lava farm and I knew there was some there because of our spawn I caved fairly carefully getting lots of coal and copper and a tiny bit of iron eventually I found a bigger drip Stone cave section it was a little dangerous but I did also find a very lucky zombie

Spawner we have other things to do at the moment though so I’m not building anything with the spawner yet I took the coordinates though just in case I changed my mind later on the caving trip overall was pretty uneventful to be honest so I quickly returned to the

Surface with a couple of things that I had began smelting them and then just did some little work around the village I decided since I’m in hardcore mode I could play this the super careful way and literally just turn sticks into diamond armor which you do by trading

With a Fletcher and then trading with an armorer which I have thanks to this lovely little village it didn’t take me long to get into the groove of playing the game again and before long I had spent my entire morning just kind of going around the village picking at little things here

And there I’ve spent my entire morning on Minecraft doing basically nothing I mean I I technically did lots but I feel like we could really up the productivity so it’s time for our first villager house transformation of the day and this one is up it’s deconstruction time

Okay brilliant a nice blank flight to work with quick break to feed the cows think this area definitely lends itself first and foremost to a diagonal build this will help us sort of optimize the space and still have a good pathway through here to the blacksmith it will upgrade that eventually

Obviously the Pink theme is still going strong but I also think that I want to include some different types of wood so I’m going to incorporate a little bit of dark oak here I believe just kind of see how this looks as our little roof line

I really like this I just wish it was one block taller I think I like that and since it’s gonna be for our armor I want to do a little extra structure back here and for that I’m gonna need some more Birchwood I promise eventually in this world we

Will use something for the buildings other than the super pastel Birchwood and Cherrywood It’s a combination that I really like at the moment and the other blocks that I really want to use for this Village to try it with the new cherry wood are a little harder to

Obtain so for now we’re stuck with a sort of starter build palette foreign already makes this area look so much more cohesive and also safe for the Villager so I’m gonna go ahead and move a couple of my Smiths inside of that building hopefully they’ll all enjoy working in

Here I don’t know how they keep getting on my roof I’ve spent a ton of time today just sitting around trading with all of my villagers and I’ve been unlocking a lot of the Smiths they appear to like their new Armory working a bunch in here on the inside

And as you can see we’ve unlocked a diamond shovel and a diamond pickaxe from this Armory sometimes I do wonder if I get a little carried away when I’m building but you really do kind of need all of this when you’re working with villagers because they just they just

Find their way onto the silliest of areas sorry dude there’s a there’s a front door we’re gonna learn how to use it hopefully that’ll solve that of course my stick to Diamond Armor Empire has totally paid off because our armorer can officially trade us all of these

Goodies oh my goodness it’s wonderful oh yeah most fashionable hardcore player coming up and I think we’ll store our previous armor in here in the Armory uh thank you everybody we’ll have to put some fancy designs on our new stuff as well I’m kind of gonna miss the purple

We have a bunch of lava in the blacksmith so while I’m in here I’m going to get my bucket and bring it over there so that we can get infinite lava this should help a bunch of smelting I’ve been smelting a bunch of the extra helmets and stuff that this guy was

Giving me as I was trading now that we’ve got all this snazzy new diamond armor and a diamond pickaxe it’s time to go mine it which of course I’ve set up this little area between the blacksmith and the Armory for having a strip mine in hardcore is pretty important because

It’s arguably one of the safer ways to go and get done and now that we have all these smithing templates we’re going to want to duplicate those and that requires diamonds so right after I finish making this pretty we’re gonna hit the mines this may take a while foreign

This is level 16 which is important because this is where I’ll need to mine iron I have been digging for quite a while and I’ve just broken out into this area that has this cave I’m really excited about this not just because it’s a cave and it looks cool but because I

Actually want to turn this into like a minecart system where we can come up and down from our minds that’s why I’m digging it so big so if you like this we’ll definitely be an asset as for the actual digging though I have a lot to do

And my inventory is full so it’s time for a quick run back to the surface oh dear it’s night time good morning villagers for now this will work for storage let’s go back in the mines we have a lot to do if we’re going to make it to Diamond

Level I feel like it’s almost refreshing to dig to the bottom of the world in this way I feel like this is usually only something that I do once per World save because well you really only need a staircase to the bottom of the world once once you get further into the game

The caves do all the work I’m doing this between doing a bunch of gardening outside I’m going Tomatoes this year and also peppers and one cucumber plant that my grandmother gave me so if you have any tomato gardening advice leave it down below I’m interested I’m very interested oddly the mix of tomato

Gardening and Mining in Minecraft is nice it’s almost soothing I would say currently we are at negative eight so um we’re gonna be here for a while freaking out into lots of caves though which I haven’t explored any of them yet because I’m just trying to get us to the

Bottom of the world I am excited about this though it does give us the opportunity to explore quite a lot oh I do see some lapis there though and I do really need that because I have level 30 but um I can’t use it yet just

Let me sneak down here okay I don’t see anybody the lapis is all mine perfect oh I love a good caving Adventure I so want to just continue going through these but I have to focus wait there’s diamonds oh my gosh okay um this is fine I’m sure nobody shoot me

I’m in my little box with my diamonds looks like we’ve got a cluster of three diamonds here that’s exciting I’m running for it ah they’re fighting each other it’s fine I didn’t actually pick up the diamonds because I realized we have level 30s so I should definitely buy a second pickaxe

For my villager and try and get fortune or silk touch either would be fine gonna need some more emeralds first oh hello Golem don’t worry I got more iron from the mines tool Smith 23 diamonds thank you I love villagers all I gotta do is disenchant that and

See if we can get something a little bit better I’m breaking three please efficiency four well it’s better than the pickaxe I was using previously take all my sticks huh at a sock slowly working on this weapon Smith as well which is nice because it gives iron axes which I do need

We can get efficiency for or we can get protection for honestly I’m gonna go for that oh for goodness sake anything like today is horrible it’s still better than the default villager I’m breaking two boots though so I’ll take it and for now it’s back in the mines at least now I finally

Have efficiency this should actually speed me up oh yeah this is way better this is why level negative 58 it’s so deep that my render distance has just given up and I can see the clouds this however is finally the layer where we can do all of our diamond mining why can

I hear thunder underground um oh dear you know what on second thought probably shouldn’t do any diamond mining until I actually get fortunes so let’s go check on the villagers I haven’t installed any lightning rod yet and I am a tiny bit nervous oh dear hello how have you spawned shouldn’t be possible

Not the fair everyone I’m here to sleep maybe it’s time we make a couple of these lightning rods just in case you know we can put one up here on this blacksmith that should be a safe distance from villagers and a second one on this Tower

Yeah I gotta do it other bonus of digging a strip mine is we get to build out of deep slate which is definitely one of my favorite Vlogs I don’t really remember how I built before I had this and I think a cute little chimney on

This Armory makes a lot of sense I am sorry but the floor of this area is just really starting to bother me it’s Gotta Go huh that is much better I can focus now if I am going to continue the level of productivity that I’ve kept up in this

Episode I need a couple of things mainly I need the fortune enchantment but in order to get that I need 30 levels over and over and over again until I finally get it because we all know it’s not gonna be easy my serious need for XP has me thinking

About that zombie grinder that I found earlier in the episode creating a simple zombie XP farm should be no problem oh well it’ll be exactly one problem actually you see to make one we don’t need any Redstone thankfully because we don’t have any but we do need Soul Sand

The Soul Sand is to lift the zombies up easily so they can then fall back down and be within punching range I probably shouldn’t punch the air in hardcore mode now I’m sure I could do it the old-fashioned way without Soul Sand but I think a trip to the nether

Shouldn’t be too hard we do have eight obsidian and I I think we need 10. that’s okay actually I made a lava farm for this very occasion be odd but I feel like another portal would actually look really good right about there listen I know it wasn’t needed

But it’s somehow at the same time it was it was needed there we go another portal I feel like I should get bonus points because I did make it villager safe it’s no better time than to try to go in the nether oh please let there not be a gas right away okay

Oh you know what it’s actually not that bad I forgot to wear gold I do this every time hold on I come back golden helmet just what I needed definitely you wanted to scoop up as much of this quartz as I can plus it gives great XP ooh fun little Bastion I

Feel like I could probably handle it right hello little brutes um doing conflate I got a fun little boating activity for you oh yep come on dude yes nothing to worry about oh fine definitely didn’t need to take a ton of measures there uh-huh all in all nothing too exciting going on here

Although I do enjoy some gilded Blackstone so I’ll take that I have a hard time assessing if their noises mean that they’re mad at me or if they’re just existing I think they’re just existing finally you see a little bit of Soul Sand only need a couple of pieces should be

Totally fine nice got it oh I’ve been wanting to use this color wood don’t fall in the lava I haven’t actually tried it yet but I bet this wood color would go fantastic with cherry wood I’ll just take a tiny bit for sampling for now I can always come

Back to here later for now I think I got what I needed let’s head back to the Village all right it’s officially time I think I’ve gathered everything that I need I got two buckets of water and some Soul Sand and some wood because we’ll probably need Gates or signs or

Something and that should do it I think that should be all I need well and a pickaxe to dig because we’re gonna have to do a lot of digging and maybe some more torches oh and my bed okay here we are pretty standard zombie spawner of

Course I did already take the loop but we’ll remove the chest now and I guess we can start digging it out all in all this should be a pretty easy job the only thing that I am slightly nervous about is like a creeper walking up from the cave and just exploding the spawner

So maybe I should light up some of these little caves yeah it’s looking pretty dangerous down there always need more iron for Hoppers though so this is definitely welcome oh I would love to explore the rest of this cave you’re just the worst okay here goes nothing

I just want to light a little bit more of this up there are so many skeletons down here and zombies I said to let my dog out and this is probably the most stressful log back in that I’ve ever experienced I got it thank you oh hello

To light up this whole cave but just having a couple of torches down to take some of the pressure off would be good I think that’s probably good just there’s another dungeon down here how long have I been standing right next to that gosh okay um who added skeletons oh dear oh dear

Oh dear okay we’re chill we’re chill for the pants nice oh we got another saddle I love it we should make a Staples for the horses at some point oh and another one let’s go okay I’ll be honest a skeleton spawner is way better than a zombie spawner however this one

Might be in range of that zombie spawner now that everything’s all lit up I’m gonna take the time and just spiral upwards and see if I can find that zombie one okay just for a visual that’s the zombie spawner this is the skeleton spawner do you know what this might actually work

I know I haven’t really mentioned it a ton yet but finding a double spawner like this is insanely lucky this is the first time in the survival world that I have ever had one that wasn’t a cave spider spawner so I was extremely excited and I definitely wanted to do

This the right way which meant finding a spot in between the two spawners where both of them could be active this can be really tricky to do but after a lot of digging up and and down and up and down I finally found the perfect spot where

Both spawners could be active and I could build a place for them to drop into where I could get XP once I had the Middle Point figured out it was just a matter of actually building the Farms which at this point in my Minecraft career I’ve done a bunch of times where

I wasn’t too worried about this part all right the Farms are almost ready to hook up I just forgot one key ingredient in order to bring them all the way up and have them fall into here I’m gonna need kelp I can’t believe I forgot the kelp unfortunately this is classed as a

Really big river so uh no help gotta go a little further out here we are some kelp not the greatest day to be on the water I’ll admit this should be perfect oh don’t drown with the kelp acquired I was now able to make what was arguably the most important requirement of the

Spawner the bubble elevator bubble elevators were going to lift the mobs up to the top and drop them down to a chamber where I could kill them it is always so stressful building these things but I think I’ve done it this is the zombie one it all flows into there

And they go up they should fall into this collection area right here with a hopper and a chest the skeletons have kind of the same deal they all flow in there they go up to the collection area I really hope I did this right I don’t really have a lot of experience with

Double mob spawners so I I just did my best it’s time for the scariest part of all though the part where I removed the Torches oh gosh oh they spawn so instantly stop it no not me go okay I mean they’re fighting each other but that’s just because they saw me oh

They’re going yes I actually think that was really successful we got the drops they were fighting each other and therefore they took damage and so they they died but the next set hopefully that comes in should live unless I did the math wrong it’s entirely possible that I did do the math

Wrong so um we’ll just wait for a moment nailed it we’ve got skeletons which means it’s time to unleash the zombies everybody’s okay yeah you guys you can have a good time ah it’s a bit of a fixer-upper oh yeah it’s working it’s working great

I was so excited and look at all the stuff we’re getting we finally can have a bow this is our first bow that’s pretty good we’re also finally gaining access to a bunch of Bones and also a bunch of rotten flesh and most importantly lots and lots of XP oh and a carrot

36 levels should probably do it I need to head back up to the surface with all of my goodies at least as many goodies as I can fit and get back to work in the village after all I was doing all this just to get some diamonds

Um it’s been a very productive couple of hours in this cave though I will eventually have to make a better way in and out home sweet home in my little village hopefully all of the villagers have survived my excursions the Iron Golems seem to be working very hard though so

It’s all good now I’m gonna disenchant my boots because I really want feather falling and we’ll try our luck between the diamond pickaxe and the diamond boots you know what maybe I should also try my luck with a book hold on okay we can do Unbreaking three or depth Strider

Three and honestly I’ve been in the water a lot so yeah depth Strider it’s no feather falling but it’s better than just protection and now we have another efficiency enchant or sleeping Edge oh you know what sweeping Edge would be kinda good for that new mob farm I’d rather risk it

On the pickaxe though oh thank goodness I did this is a perfect pickaxe all it needs is mending fortune 3 and breaking three and efficiency four that’s awesome now I can finally go and get those Diamonds oh I’ve been waiting all day for this now there were two main patches

Where I left diamonds and I think this was one of them yeah there we go that one right there not bad oh and we get a bonus one so those four diamonds actually became seven that was definitely worth it now is there any more diamonds down here

Nope don’t see any sorry skeleton not today oh and the last patch was just right there hey buddy ouch okay I’ve made some zombies angry I’m just gonna grab the diamond and I’ll be right out of the way okay it was just one it was just one

Maybe I’ll go back and explore that on a later date but for now nine Diamonds oh yeah we’re rich we should be able to spend a lot of time down here now getting super rich Yep there we go Redstone and Evans oh it’s glorious oh and a little bit of gold Don’t Mind If I Do yes even more diamonds here we go unfortunately I’m all out of torches so I feel like this is a good place to stop we got lots of redstone and 26 diamonds

Which is certainly not bad the main thing is I finally have a place where I can easily go strip mining this will make life a lot simpler I feel like we worked really hard in this episode we got diamonds we made a mob spawner we

Went to the nether those are a lot of very grindy things to do and um to show for it we are currently on day 64 of this world which is a fair amount of days for episode two I think as a treat since we’ve been working so hard in this

World and on this Village we deserve to do a little bit more building so Emily I’m gonna get all of my lovely building materials oh and maybe some of the Crimson stem that I got in the Nether and definitely some amethyst yeah I haven’t really gotten a chance to

Try out these new chiseled bookshelves yet yeah why not since today’s episode focused a lot on this enchanting table I think we’ll build ourselves a nice place to enchant all of our new gear unfortunately I haven’t yet Enchanted silk touch so this is a slight waste of

Wood oh and it’s raining come on I think I do enjoy this sort of location for the enchanting table I just want to make it a bit fancier so let’s sink it into the ground and Surround it by the bookshelves I think we’re gonna use Crimson planks maybe some cherry slabs

And definitely some cherry fences oh and some cherry leaves obviously we’ve got to have cherry leaves the theme that we’re very much going for in this Village is pink and purple which I am absolutely thrilled about because these are colors that I’ve never really touched before in Minecraft I don’t

Really know if this mix is gonna look any good but I’m kind of trying something using basically a bunch of leaves in the roof combined with some pink and purple slabs also really loving this bark color with the Crimson I feel like there’s a gradient starting there I

Just really don’t have the rest of the blocks oh you know what it’s night time I should I should sleep oh that’s better you know what I actually think that this little gazebo is not looking too bad so far I’ve been wanting to do one of these for a while I

Feel like I see people do nice little gazebos all the time for their enchanting and I’ve just never really done one okay there we go villagers here is our new little enchanting area oh it’s cute I think and we can finally store a bunch of books in these I love

That we could put them in different locations and you get different colors oh cute obviously I’m gonna have to also clean up this chest situation let’s do some pink Petals For The Finishing Touch around this area I’m obsessed with the way that these stack together they’re so

Cute and I think that is our adorable little enchanting room all finished and so cute I’m so excited to work with even more colors around this Village and start getting into much bigger and more epic Transformations this is only episode two and hopefully we have a lot

In store assuming I don’t die so I hope that you’ll subscribe give this video a like to support it and tune in next time goodbye everybody
