How to Explore Like a PRO! | Let’s Play Minecraft Survival

Hey how’s it going everybody my name is python and welcome back to another episode here of the let’s play series guys thank you so much for all of the support you guys have been showing lately i really do appreciate it now of course if this is the first video you’re watching

On this channel do consider subscribing with those bell notifications turned on so you don’t miss out on my future episodes here and uh yeah this is the final of the pre-recorded episodes episode five onwards is going to be episodes where everything sort of back up the day and i’ve been

Able to see your guys’s comments and all that kind of beautiful stuff now today’s episode is dedicated to exploring and the reason why we started off down in the caves there is because i needed just a little bit more of an iron supply enough to make an anvil because guys

We’re not just going to be exploring today we are going to be exploring like a professional oh yeah oh i didn’t even bring any coal back well rip uh let’s try that again shall we so yeah guys we’re gonna be exploring like professionals in today’s episode and what does that entail

What does that entail ladies and gentlemen it means that we’re gonna be making ourselves a map fully zooming it out with the usage of the cartography table here we are also going to be bringing shias with us the shias and the anvil and a supply of sticks

Will mean that we can place down banners and therefore waypoints on the map so no matter what we managed to find we can mark it down on the map and be good to freaking go so we’ve scraped together a little bit of iron from the furnaces here what we’re going

To do now is we’re going to make ourselves a compass and with that we can chuck it in the middle here oh that’s interesting for whatever oh there we go you have to go out of the inventory and then the recipes unlocked ah okay i didn’t know that

I feel like i should have known that and i tell you what guys while we’re waiting why don’t we go ahead and be productive with our time we need a bunch of wool yeah all the woolzy doodles now belongs to me and actually there seems to be a good

Amount of sheep around this so we should be able to garner a decent supply of study very very nice now it goes without saying one of the things that we usually wind up doing in our previous let’s plays is we wind up color coding various things in the world for example uh

Structures we wind up color coding in one way uh places of interest where there might be some interesting terrain that would usually be done in a different color base areas would be another color all that kind of stuff and yeah we’re basically gonna wind up doing the same here because it’s a

System that works all right so we’ve got ourselves a small supply of flowers and wool and various other bits and bobs let’s grab the remaining iron out of here we need ourselves three of these bad boys grab ourselves the anvil very very nice all right we’re starting

To get there we’ve already got a boat so that’s very very good of course is there anything else that we’re going to need we’ve got the food uh i mean maybe just some wood in general that’d probably be a good idea so the question you guys are probably

Asking is well what sort of things are you going to be looking for on your exploration trip well to be honest since it is going to be our first exploration trip pretty much anything and everything i mean you know we’ve got the whole world to explore and as i mentioned at the

Start of the series this is a totally random world i haven’t looked at things like a mixed or anything like that i don’t know where biomes and structures and all that kind of stuff are so this is going to be a pretty fun thing so let’s go ahead and generate this map here

Okay that’s kind of cool i like the fact that uh almost our entire base area is on there look at how smooth that circle is dude oh wow we did a good job with that didn’t we all right so let’s put this bad boy down

And we need to go ahead and zoom this thing out many times there we are this thing should be fully zoomed out now yeah it is okay and we are in the top left corner so pretty much we need to explore in the south easterly direction so basically over this way

All right so i think it goes without saying one of the things we’re gonna need to do here is we need to place down our base area so i think what i’m gonna do is use a little bit of orange dye to do that there we are we can get this thing done

We can make ourselves le banner okay and then we whip down the anvil and then we name it uh base area or just base or just home there we are we’ll just call it home yeah why not and we’ll just like chuck it there for no reason oop you right click it and

There you go it’s now on the map ah yes bringing a bed wait there’s a monster nearby what the devil okay well clearly there’s got to be a creeper around because there’s nothing making a sound all right we’ll go to sleep here instead out in the open like a true professional does

There we are all right so there we go we are just about ready to do this thing so i’m thinking to start off here we might just head like directly south maybe we start filling in the edges of this map and then edge ever inwards just so we can see what’s going on

Seems like a pretty cool idea to me if we find anything of interest we will of course mark it down on the map whether it be a dungeon or a structure or something like that whatever it may be we’re going to mark it down this freaking map is going to be

Full of markings at some point hey what is going on here there’s like a double waterfall which is going down upon a tree um that’s very weird ah yes the village that we discovered before and ransacked well the first one we ransacked anyway uh yeah probably worth going ahead and

Marking this on the map i mean in the grand scheme of things it’s not that far away from home is it ah dang and i left the freaking anvil back at base man what is wrong with me dude there we are pee village as in plains village because

It’s a plains village so i kind of decided it would be a good idea to maybe mark what sort of village it is so if it’s a tiger village then we can put tea village on it if it’s a savannah village it’ll be s village

Yeah you see you get what i’m saying you know what since you are the only employed guy in this village i’m gonna put the banner right there i mean why not boop there we are p village yeah fantastic oh there’s a sheep there’s a sheep he needs to be sheared

Sorry buddy you’re gonna be naked for now i heard a kitty cat oh my goodness oh you know what i got you know i have to do this right you know i have to do this ah do we have any salmon yes we do hello hey there sorry buddies you are going to

Be fed to kitty cats oh no you’re making it hard for me man that ain’t cool hey come here yeah hey buddy yay on the dot we got kitty cat friends now oh my goodness our entire family the ruffle plus cat family oh goodness me man there’d be a lot of

Dudes following me now huh now in terms of these maps when you go ahead and fully zoom it out i do believe the area on the map is about a 2 000 by 2 000 area in your world i mean i think it’s like 2048 by 2048 exactly

Something along those lines but yeah the fact of the matter is we’re going to be able to explore a heck of a lot of our world here and i just came to the realization if this is going to cover a 2000 by 2000 area there’s a very real possibility that the stronghold

Could be within this map or within any map that’s fully zoomed out right ah okay uh well this mountain biome is just terrible i mean i mean wow it does go up pretty high i won’t lie but uh in terms of features and being able to traverse around it

Yeah it’s a bit of a pain oh snappers can you guys see it can you see it can you see it thought you could hide from me did you miss the village yeah you know what this is actually a pretty cool village it seems to intersect

Many biomes you got a forest a dark oak forest and well clearly this is a plains village but i don’t really see where the plains biome is wow is that just me who finds this really cool like look at this there’s even like a pier going out into this little lake here

Building opportunity clearly a fisherman hut should be here there’s a bed in here yeah there is all right i’ma sleep in here for now that’s what i’m gonna do here we are p village number two all right let’s do it uh i am going to

Put it on the house that i just slept in there we are all right and right click there we go all right look at that man we’ve only explored a small amount of this map so far and there’s already three places of interest on it i mean that’s pretty cool right

That’s pretty darn cool in fact so what do we actually have around here we have ourselves a double door house now i’m starting to recognize the different kinds of houses especially the ones that do have loot chests in them you find yourself a double door house like this it is going

To have a chest in it so there we are uh slappings potatoes we’ll put the dandelion down there you are have a flower needless to say we’re going to pick up all of these hay bales but also since we do have ourselves a dark oak forest around here it would be a good

Idea in order to expand our building supplies to get us all some dark oak saplings sounds like a good idea doesn’t it what do you guys think could there be a saddle in one of these leather worker houses ah darn it i’m pretty sure these are the

Houses where you can have a chance of finding a saddle right am i am i right in thinking that ah okay mr wolf okay okay you do you there buddy just shove your head through the corner of a freaking hay bale why not and just like that we’ve got on

Ourselves four dark oak saplings very nice that is four out of six different types of wood that we have going on right now well i mean technically eight types of wood if you include the nether ones hey pumpkins something else i don’t have in this world at the moment

But i do now wow look at that man perks of playing on optifine with 24 chunk rendered distance here ladies and gentlemen i can see everything wow this is cool i like this perks of playing on stable updates right there my friends ah you don’t get optifine for no snapshots do ya

No no no no okay what it sounds like there maybe oh boy uh you know what i actually don’t want you guys to be holy mackerel all right i think we should get huh oh boy okay i saw a villager zombie i think we need to do something real

Quick maybe a little bit of sleepy sleep there we are i don’t want to die dude i don’t want to die i don’t want my freaking dudes to die ah it gave me a feather how adorable right all of you sit down there we are okay everything’s fine

Don’t even fret about it your boy will take care of everything there we go do you have low health oh yeah you do there you go have a little bit of that buddy my goodness how is there not a dungeon around here like seriously am i am i crazy i’m so confused

There were so many mobs you don’t normally get that volume of mobs without there being a freaking dungeon around oh man i’m i’m a little bit confused right now uh oh man we are running out of space right i am actually going to continually get a little supply of

Rotten flesh just because it is pretty good for like healing our dogs so yeah i kept hearing some of them wine you all right now no okay how about you ah okay everything’s good oh man fate really does want me to get a donkey doesn’t it huh

We’ve found like three donkeys in this world so far and i haven’t been able to get any of them because we don’t have any freaking saddles you know it would be so cool if i could get one uh because we don’t have bundles exploring is going to be marginally more difficult

But i don’t think it’s going to be too bad especially if we do manage to get ourselves a saddle and therefore a donkey and then 15 more inventory slots all right so bottom left corner has been achieved here maybe we explore to the east what do you guys think should we do the

East as well we’ll do a little bit of that and then we’ll probably head back to base and we’ll do some more exploring in another episode i mean i want to save some exploring for another episode right i’ll tell you something else we can say for later

Is this location this appears to be a gravel biome or gravelly mountains but oh for god’s sake they really just don’t give up do they i like how they spawned and immediately started suffocating why oh okay it goes way over this way as well all right you know what this is going to

Be a yellow banner it is a place of interest albeit a biome terrain thing of interest so uh we need to go ahead and put this bad boy down we need a yellow banner yeah all right uh gravel mountain uh gravel we’ll just call it gravel there

We are i mean you know nice and simple isn’t it all right so we’ll put it down right uh here for no reason whatsoever there we are oh dude you can’t be serious there’s another village way over there again 24 chunk render distance comes into its own here guys

Ah but the thing is it’s way off the bottom of the map but at the same time i’m pretty sure i can see a blacksmith house blacksmith houses are amazing for obsidian and diamonds my dudes ah i really want to explore it but at the same time i just want to stick to

The confines of this map for now so yeah we’ll save it we’ll save it okay we’ll save it for another episode uh as long as we remember that it’s there that is i must admit i’m pretty surprised we haven’t found any portals just yet i mean we haven’t found a single one

Aside from the original one we haven’t found any okay well clearly this game doesn’t want me to set up a portal network to awesome places ah dear uh i’m really hoping there’s a mega tiger nearby here because that would be so cool oh sweet berries yeah yeah yeah yeah we’re picking these

Bad boys up oh there’s foxes oh my god those foxes they’re so adorable i love them so much oh sweet i was wondering whether or not i’d find one of these nice a tiger village oh i don’t know about you guys but these are my favorite type of villagers in the game

Bar none oh hang on i got yeah got sick and lads sick em good well done right eager have a little bit i have a little bit of that there you go there you go it’s all yours thanks thanks for taking care of that ah

A little bit of a sleeper room in here hey kitty cat why aren’t you sat on my bed with me huh you normally do i’m very confused all right let’s see what we have here oh grindstone you know what we actually didn’t have that so i’m gonna nab it

Thanks appreciate you uh spruce saplings do you know what we have those back at base i don’t really mind just chucking them away oh cool blast furnaces uh yeah i’m gonna join them they are definitely mine right about now uh oh man rip inventory what do i do man what do i do

There’s just too much crud here we are tea village tea village cup of tea village uh yes i would love that to be a thing but no it’s not there we go i like how the torch is just protruding through it that’s very peculiar that is very weird

Why isn’t that setting on fire in real life it would ah this game defies real life doesn’t it all right what are we going here huh saddle ah darn it man oh it’s a baby it’s a little baby i like how the cats and dogs are like almost bigger than it

Is so weird dude oh okay okay what else have we got huh okay well this tree isn’t doing a very good job is it it’s like directly in the way oh hey uh pumpkin seeds uh i don’t really need them all right let’s get out here shall we what do we have

Over here oh bookshelves uh yes emeralds nice okay okay ah we are really in a bad situation i’m running out of things to put away all right the wood can go away wow this is a pretty big village there’s a lot of houses in here hey even more emeralds don’t even mind it

Don’t even mind it all right there you go nitwit don’t don’t mind me i’m just robbing your place it’s all good baby well what have we got in here huh uh huh just two beds yeah you have the time of your life there buddy oh snap there it is

Sweet all right you know what potatoes you are cool but i’ve got a couple of you back at base so i could just bone mail them so we get a whole bunch more so we finally got one guys holy guacamole okay you know what that means we need to go

Back to that donkey oh looks like we’re running out of terrain here guys the ocean beckons you know what i think this is a pretty natural point to end off this little exploration session maybe we’ll go all captain python in a future episode but for now i’ve just got way too much

Crud in my inventory we need to get back we need to get that donkey and just we just need to go back and chill my dudes we just need to take inventory of everything we’ve managed to get today i mean just look at it look at the map

There’s now five points of interest on here and we’ve not even explored what maybe even a quarter of this entire map yet that’s crazy isn’t it oh what was i saying about portals there’s one hidden underneath here i just completely encounter it purely by chance that’s kind of cool all right well let’s

See what we got in here uh i’m breaking two glistering melons are pretty darn nice actually uh yeah you can make instant health potions with these bad boys all right uh maybe we take down the coordinates here and then come back eventually or better still i could just mark this down on the

Map right ah the only thing is it’s like right next to the gravel thing we could potentially move the gravel banner to like down here and then it’s like two points of interest in one right ah see that’s a smart idea here we are smart ideas coming from the pythonator uh volume

One there we are two points of interest in one yay oh my god baby horse oh you’re adorable ah look at you aren’t you beautiful all right we about to get ourselves 15 additional inventory slots all right real quick all i’m gonna do is just gonna place down the bed and that

Will give me a spare slot on my hot bar and we’ll tame this guy lovely lovely there we are all right so there we go everything’s fine and then we can plop a chest on him there we are yeah holy poop this guy has 14 hearts of health my goodness he’s like invincible

Welcome to your new home mr donkey oh yeah we are back ladies and gentlemen not too bad five points of interest on our map and probably not even a quarter of the entire area of that has been explored pretty crazy right all right so yep take an inventory of what we

Managed to get i mean most of it is still like the preparation stuff like the wool and the flowers and whatnots but we’ve got some blast furnaces we’ve got sweet berries we’ve got a new type of wood to use now cauldrons fletching table grindstone yeah we haven’t done too bad all things considered

And obviously next time we go exploring we’ve got 15 additional inventory slots so you can’t complain about that one yeah it’s pretty cool isn’t it doggos sweet all right well that is a d gonna wrap it up for today’s episode so let’s do the comment of the day

Brian says why don’t you play with izuma’s data packs for mob heads and mini blocks i think that would open up a lot of fun building for you and it’s not anything game breaking it’s a good point it is a good point but the reason why i don’t really use

Data packs is because it sort of makes the world a little bit less accessible to those people who might be playing on console edition like for example i know that there’s a good amount of my audience out there who play console minecraft and you don’t really have data

Packs in the same way that java edition does on pc so for anyone on console watching this and they’ll be seeing all those mini blocks and all those kinds of things they might be thinking oh hey maybe i could get that as well but in actuality you can’t because

Data packs don’t work the same way as far as i know anyway i could be wrong but yeah basically the whole point of the series is basically to maximize the accessibility i want you guys to be able to do everything that i’m doing in this series okay

So that is the reason why i’m not really using data packs i mean optifine is about as far as i’m gonna stretch in terms of a mod and let’s be honest optifine should have been integrated into minecraft itself a very very long time ago but

It isn’t so yeah but it’s still nice to have the little optifine zoom i mean that’s a that’s a handy dandy little thing isn’t it so yeah anyways that’ll wrap it up for today guys thank you very much for watching if you guys have enjoyed today’s exploration episode do be sure

Of course to drop a like i’d very much appreciate it hit the subscribe button and don’t forget to ding that bell if you don’t want to miss out on future content and i really hope that you guys maybe learned a thing or two about how to explore like a pro in minecraft maps

Waypoints pets donkeys there you go that’s your top four and optionally if you’re in 1.17 bundles but yeah guys thanks for watching have yourselves a fantastic rest of your day and i’ll see you guys in the next episode So You
