I Built A Giant FLOATING ISLAND In Minecraft Hardcore (#17)

That’s right guys in today’s spicy video we are going to be building a giant floating island now if you guys are new to my series we’ve been building up a beautiful kingdom in this nice little valley but i thought it’d be a pretty cool idea to add a giant floating island

Above the kingdom because then it’ll look kind of like the island got floated up off of the mountain it’ll make sense either way this video did take a ton of time to film and if you guys do enjoy it make sure you guys smash that like

Button comment down below what you guys want to be in the kingdom and let’s get into episode 17 of hardcore ah yes kingdom expansion day no i’m just kidding this is probably gonna take like a hundred days in and of itself this is gonna be such a big project man either

Way i mean it’ll be well worth it i think it’s gonna add a nice aesthetic to the kingdom because i’ve had this vision of building a floating island here for a long time because if you look at it it just looks like there’s this giant chunk of the mountain that’s just missing

Because these really steep hills i think it’d be a really cool idea to just build up a floating island also i want some more building space over here because once i’m done with filling in that and that and then no i mean that’s kind of

Filled in i just need to add some trees and stuff you know lazy boy here regardless though it’ll give me more space to be able to build more things like for example i’m tired of living out of a starter base what if i build a giant castle on top of a floating island

Above my kingdom you know that sounds pretty sick i’m saying because yeah all i really need to do is kind of add like a couple what’s going on over here why is there so many iron golems in the barn bro what even is this i guess we’re

Farming iron golems now we’re not even farming animals this is ridiculous the kingdom’s getting a little out of hand i’m not gonna lie it needs uh some more strict laws and stuff i mean that’s for another day but yeah all i need to do is kind of

Fill this area in with like a little bit of trees maybe one more house or two and then this is all done and then all i need to do is build up kind of like a mine shaft area over here you know like we’re running out of land and i think

The island’s gonna come in clutch not to mention a handful episodes ago we did drain out a 100 by 100 square so i do have a uh a lot of dirt because basically this whole thing was a mountain right here and i just had to shave the entire thing down all the way

Down and it was it was a lot also speaking of which while we’re over here i just realized it’s been episodes and episodes since i’ve checked on the diamond skeleton if you guys have no idea what i’m talking about in between episodes i found a diamond skeleton and

Then i showed them to you guys in a video and said that the most liked comment in that video can decide the name of the the diamond skelly i mean look at this guy full diamond baby however i need to get rid of his friend because his friend is going to trigger

Me and i need to boat him around so we just very carefully there we go how you doing good sir how are you doing i hope you’re doing okay it looks like your arm is sticking through your armor and i don’t know if that is okay but i mean

You seem like you’re okay one thing i do want to do though is i want to try to lure him over here to our jail and then i want to kind of encase him in his own like little glass bubble basically let me clear out a little bit of a room

All right then that should be good for now now we just gotta boat him all the way over here which is gonna definitely be the more challenging part all right buddy it’s time to take you to your new home see now imagine if i had thorns on

My armor this guy would be taking so much damage and it just wouldn’t be worth it And finally i’ve gotten him in his new home it just took about a decade and i had to dig a really long tunnel and then also make a really long stair it was yeah this was not worth it okay i want you guys know actually then again i

Think it is because they’re insanely rare right full diamond skelly’s incredibly rare i just need to get him out of this boat real quick without hitting him very carefully there we go beautiful nice and then now look at him look at him in his new home i gotta give

Him a name tag still though okay maybe i put him back in the boat just in case i don’t want him to despawn or anything you know which like i said before the name for this skeleton was gonna be the most liked comment on that video which

The name actually turned out to be clover because it’s like finding a four-leaf clover incredibly rare which honestly i think is a pretty high iq name but i kind of like it i vibe by vibe but everybody can we get a a warm welcome for clover in in uh prison

You go clover enjoy your name enjoy your life in prison unfortunately i can’t see his name through the glass but i i gave it to him 100 i just kind of cleaned up all this mess dude oh my god and now that that’s all out of the way and we

Got our skelly all named it’s time to begin the process of building up this giant floating island now for this island i already know that i’m not gonna have enough dirt even though you know i mean i have a lot of dirt i have like

Over a double chest full of dirt but i mean like when you really look how big this valley is this is gonna be a pretty big island because i want to try to match it up as identical as possible to how big this valley is so just in case

Though i’m gonna go find a place where i could be able to shovel a lot of dirt that isn’t gonna make the kingdom ugly you know what i’m saying also while flying around the kingdom i actually realized that this entire mountainside is basically cut off by a bunch of

Rivers like there’s rivers that go around the entire mountain like we are kind of on like our own little island our own territory it’s pretty cool actually i never realized it until i was just zooming around just zoning out either way a nice big luscious plains biome like this looks like a perfect

Spot to get a ton and ton of dirt so without further ado let’s get to shoveling i don’t even know what that accent was i’ll be honest yeah i’m a little disgusted with myself All right and a little bit over two shulker boxes full of dirt plus whatever’s in my inventory and then also what we got at home we’ll see if that’s enough probably won’t be uh either way now it is officially time to start building up this giant island so

Real quick what i do want to do is i want to try to build up relatively from the middle of town and build up really really high with scaffolding so that i can kind of a middle point of the actual island itself i honestly don’t even know

How tall this is going to be i want it to be tall enough to where obviously it comes nowhere near the tower but also not so high that it’s an inconvenience for me let’s just see how tall a stack and a half is let’s go based off of that

It’s pretty high it’s pretty high so i got to remember that this is going to be the lowest point of the island i also want it to be kind of shaped like a like a you know what i’m saying like it comes down into a point almost what i think i

Might do is start it at about right here this might be the lowest point of the island and then i basically just got to kind of shape it out in a way i don’t i don’t know exactly i’ve never built a giant floating island like this so bear

With me while i attempt to figure out how i want to do this i’m normally really bad at building stuff like this [Applause] we officially got a giant outline for this thing and i mean it’s kind of shaped a little a little wonky maybe i could shape it out a little bit better

But uh we’ll do that as we’re kind of building it up because the bottom of it i think is going to be the real deciding factor on the full outline regardless we got a little bit of a platform up here now to where we could be able to

Actually work up here one thing i need to do before i start placing down too much dirt is actually i need to place down a lot of torches down there because last thing i need to do is cast a giant shadow underneath this oh wow yeah no

That looks pretty cool actually hold on let me fly down here let’s get a nice visual and i realized i don’t want it to be the exact size of the valley because i want to have other little floating islands that we’ll work on later not in

This video but it’ll be a later project this will just be the main hub island basically that we’ll probably end up making a base out of but like i said let’s real quick just make a ton of torches so that we don’t accidentally uh wipe out the kingdom by you know letting

A bunch of mobs spawn does that be very unfortunate that is one of the downsides to having a giant island above your kingdom is well i mean yeah it’s going to cast a giant shadow so and then once i’m not too lazy then i can actually start building up more

Street lights and stuff like that and then we don’t have to have all these ugly torches everywhere i’ll be honest the more i’m looking at the more i’m realizing how i really cut in on this side i’m definitely gonna have to expand that out a lot more because i realize

The valley center isn’t really where the town center is i went based off town center but the valley center is more like up here i just wanted to leave room for other stuff things things to think about and with the kingdom all torched up now we should

Be good to go to building out this island and not really affecting the kingdom i hope we’ll see hey that’s what security is for right right right j-dog and now that the kingdom is protected with light now it’s officially just time to start building out this giant

Platform first of all i do want to fix this oddly shaped thing over here and then we’ll get into filling in this whole thing And finally after many many blocks of dirt i mean it looks ugly right now okay there’s there’s no way around it it’s looking pretty ugly i need to kind of shape it out a little bit you guys impeding on my new lands what are you what are you what are you doing

Here what we need you guys to leave also where’s your flag guy maybe he already uh maybe he fell off already uh regardless i do need a kind of shape it out just a smidgel however i’m not too worried about the shape because i mean

It is a giant floating island you know i mean not gonna look perfect the whole point of it is to you know look like floating land completely left the ground what i am more worried about though is kind of decorating the bottom because the bottom is looking a bit ugly i’m not

Gonna lie like this this needs more stone in it and stuff but that’s going to require a lot of a lot of scaffolding and just save you guys some time let’s just bang there we go that looks already a lot much better i would say already a

Lot but either way i do vibe with this though it’s it’s starting to turn out a little bit better now that i blended together some stone into the mountain or mountain into the island itself you know obviously the most dense part of stone being at the bottom but it is looking

Pretty bland still with like all the brown and stuff right like i feel like i should add like some pops of green i mean there’s already grass popping through anyways because for some reason grass can still grow in the dark i mean there’s torches but regardless and with

A little bit of grass that looks much better there we go that that greenery adding like all the leaves with you know the the glowberries and stuff it just looking mad crispy now and you already know i took a bunch of leaves from the uh the stripped forest look at that

Thing it’s looking naked over here soon all these trees will be leafless either way the island is coming together all i really want to do now is i probably want to try to like make it so it’s not completely flat i mean it’s perfect for being able to actually just build

Anything and everything on because it is flat which is nice but i think i might try to build like a little bit of slopes or mountains or something i don’t know i’m also thinking about leaving it completely flat like this because if i do then obviously i can like i said have

Any sort of free will to do whatever i want with it one of the nice things is that i did leave it completely hollow on the inside as well because i want to be able to have a room to be able to make like if i want to do storage and stuff

Then i easily can and the more i think about it the more i’m just like i’d rather just already have kind of like a little bit of terrain to this thing it just looks so flat and so weird so i’m going to try to like build up a bit of

That instantly turned into grass i’m going to try to build up like a bit of a slope on this side and i still have a lot of dirt left over so i’m not too worried about it there we go i’m vibing with that i got a

Little bit of train to it and i’m thinking about adding kind of like a pond maybe like right here i know i’m digging up dirt that i literally already sat down but hey i just think it would look really cool to have like a pond

Also you know right at the edge of this little slope there we go now that we got it all shaped out and all i need to do is fill it up with water just like that there we go now we got a fully filled in pond beautiful beautiful now one other

Thing that i do want to do just to kind of like change up the the flatness up here before we start getting to building actual things up here would be maybe adding kind of like a a river up here in the front the only thing is i’m trying

Not to eat up too much room because if i do actually build something big i want to have the space for it i also just had the realization that it could look cool to have like a uh little waterfall coming off the back end of this there we

Go that looks pretty nice all i need to do is actually add some like stones and gravels and stuff like that for like decoration and all that as i was saying though let’s get back to uh the river idea here i want to try to clear out a

Little bit in the front that would be almost like a moat but it won’t go all the way around something just kind of like this i gotta give it a floor basically and just fill this whole thing in with water now just like that now we got a nice

Filled in pond well not pond this is the river and that’s a pond over there speaking of pond though i actually do kind of want to decorate this because something about just leaving blank water like this is kind of ugly and i figured i’ll probably try to just you know blend

It in just like how i did that one over there with like a little bit of grass a little bit of you know some gravel and stuff like that and so let’s get into decorating oh now this thing’s looking snazzy now now this is a pond that i want in my

Backyard i’m not gonna lie i’m vibing i’m vibing big time just feel so cozy i love the lanterns too oh but of course you gotta turn on the shaders to really appreciate some nice lanterns i’m not gonna lie it looks pretty good actually with shaders i can also see how dark it

Is down here and you know i mean it’s it’s pretty dark it’s not really that bad i mean my sword’s lighting up look how bright it is minecraft shaders baby regardless though that is gonna be it for my giant island uh now like i said i

Do have plans and i do have ideas building this thing up and how i want to do it like possibly putting a house on top possibly putting an auto sorter on the inside maybe a tunnel that i could fly in and out of right here you know

Something like that but i am curious to know what you guys want to see on the giant island i am thinking about adding up a couple more islands next to it for some other small projects but regardless though comment down below to let me know now it’s time to get into naming some

Villagers after some subscribers baby first of all i’m running low on emeralds and i need to be able to make some so here let me just toss all this garbage out of here so let’s do some potato trades real quick and now i got emeralds

I could easily just get a bunch of name tags and the first subscriber is going to be jeff that wants to be a book boy and then next is matt who matt matt matt humida i i hope i got that right um just wanted to be a working villager i

Respect that then the next one we need a fish which i’ll grab this puffer fish we also got a wandering traitor on top of the yellow island huh what are you doing sir either way for our next subscriber we got omega that wants to be a fish and

Now you’re puffer fish in the new pond like i said before if you guys want to join the kingdom as whatever you want comment down below let me know and i’ll continue to keep grabbing subscribers every single video so for now guys subscribe and i will see you guys in the next one
