I Built a MASSIVE Villager Trading Hall in Hardcore Minecraft 1.17 Survival

Hey folks flip here and welcome back to hardcore minecraft today i’m tackling the largest transformation project i have ever done in one episode starting with my small cramped villager training hall and turning it into this absolutely ridiculously large villager trading emporium this video has taken over 40

Hours to create and hide to mine over 90 000 blocks to make this happen please subscribe as it helps me out a ton and it’s free to do but let’s get going all right episode 33 of hardcore here my friends let’s get to work right away as

I’m very much in the mood for digging and seeing what we can get done what’s our tool situation looking like over here i’ve got a fairly healthy netherite pickaxe over there but then we still have three diamond pickaxes can we upgrade those to netherride oh my gosh

We oh we can do it we can do it all wow okay that’s amazing where’s that trusty blast furnace in here under here yes yes it is perfect then from there housing chance looking on these guys that one’s pretty good that one’s pretty good and oh we need a better efficiency roll on

That one i would love to get them all deficiency five if we can though why are there hog ones up here um that’s never happened before i don’t like that i don’t like that at all as far as i’ve always understood it we need to max out

These pickaxes before we upgrade them to the netherite version so i’m gonna see what efficiency books we can get down here there we have it almost half of our levels are now gone but check that out oh those are amazing here we go back over at the house and we’ve got one two

And three more nether i pickaxes for ourselves i need to have some way to tell apart the og ones and this might be costing 16 levels over here but we gotta do it we got the silky flippy and we already have the flippy picky we’re all good to go

A quick stop at the gold farm we built in the last episode it is time to tell you all about my plan for today my goal on mooshland has been to create a giant circular area with four quarters stretching off to the sides we’ve already built one corridor we being the

Farmer zone and then from there i want to add three more quarters around the edges that are going to have one for librarians one for stonemasons and probably one for tool smiths and in the center we’re gonna have a large circular area disappearing into who knows what at

This point in time but that is the plan here we’ve just got to repair everything we have on hand before we head on down into the caves to really expand this villager trading hall out we’ve got about six of these guys in here right now and that is not enough so we’re

Moving this dirt block there that’s gonna start up the villager breeder for ourselves now i brought over enough chess and shulker shells to make 27 shulker boxes for us here i hope we’re not gonna need that money but you know i just want to be prepared on this one so

Without any further ado my friends for the first time in today’s episode let’s go ahead and kick this off into good old-fashioned time-lapse mode and dig out the entire island After three and a half hours of digging i am left with a giant hole here in the center still with three more wings to dig out and probably more importantly we have 27 shulker boxes filled of various types of stones and five completely broken down netherrite pickaxes that

This one is on the brink of destruction with nine durability left but good news is i can at least fly out of the villager trading hall now look at the size of this thing for the second time already we are headed up to the gold farm because i need some experience my

God am i thankful we built this last time come here my british this right here is the glorious sounds of progress inside our hardcore world check that out every single pickaxe is already fixed up and i’ve been here for four minutes and i got 10 more blocks of gold i’ll take

It with the three areas left to dig out i came back over to get a bunch more shulker boxes and i only really have enough to make probably 40 more of them at this point but i’ve got 32 here ready to go for ourselves and we’ve got a lot

Of digging to get right back into we need to clear this whole thing out today before we can really move forward at all with the shulker box mountain slowly growing over here we’ve got to build a lot more of them to put on the ground from there i got right back into digging

Out these tunnels only to realize that the beacon from the center of the circle does not make it all the way down to the end of the tunnel so i had to move it for every single one of these tunnels we’re trying to dig out i’m going absolutely insane from all of this

Digging that uh i thought this was how you build a beacon that’s that’s not how you build a beacon okay well maybe i need to take a break This right here is going to be a little bit of a problem coming into the second tunnel we lead right out into the ocean one mops can spawn here two we have to drain this it’s a really good thing the insanity continues from episode two episode because check this

Out we still have two shoulder boxes full of glasses ourselves now i just need to figure out what color to dye them light blue could work and we have a lot a lot of light blue dye in here just kidding we have 24. a lot a lot of light

Blue dye so so much light brewed eye yep now all i should need to do is take some light blue glass to where we have this upper curve going getting rid of the a little bit of this kelp and i just want to drag this glass going all the way

Across here to that far side easy mode problem solved oh except i definitely need air okay okay maybe maybe not maybe not easy mode definitely made way more light blue glass than i actually needed but we’ve got a nice little dome in here that’s gonna be so cool and so full of mob

Spawns yay upon diving into the third tunnel and quite literally at that as it’s almost all ocean i had to create another large glass ceiling and drain out the water only to have a creeper jump on me out of nowhere before we could finally get back

Out to the rest and final bit of the digging Oh my god we’ve done it i don’t need to dig anymore i hope a few days ago i shared this screenshot on twitter showing i’d mind almost 143 000 blocks now looking at our stats today my friends we have mined 211 206 blocks with our netherite pickaxes

To avoid you all the math that means we’ve done nearly 70 000 blocks today so far in this episode this is so much so that i can actually fly all the way around in every single one of these tunnels oh my gosh even with cinema nope nope nope that’s a wall

I do kind of love having the water access above the tunnels down here that’s gonna look absolutely amazing when we get these areas detailed out however the mob spawning and this being a slime chunks a little bit of a pain in the butt next up my friends is we need

To start getting in the details in here thankfully a lot of this is going to be pretty easy to get as we have all of the villagers inside of here which might be able to repair our tools a touch but we’re able to get all of the courts we

Need from these stonemason villagers here but it’s time for one more trip to the gold farm during that final mining mission only broke three of our pickaxes i raided my storage room as best as i could and i don’t think i quite had enough basalt so quick quick trip to the

Nether here just gonna mine down this entire little mountain and uh that should be good all right making sure that we line this thing up perfectly here coming back to this side and then i think we want to do one right in here and then we do one right over in here

And then to match everything else that we’ve been doing 19 blocks in between every single one of the pillars i should be able to fit two to three rows in here our base support beams are now in and all i got to do from here is stack up

The polished basalt going all the way to the ceiling and then of course the smooth quartz archway is going around on every single one of these two and it just frames it in so dang well i’m really loving this as a bit of a brighter detail the bare-bones structure

Around our villager trading hall is now in place but i think before we can get too much work done on the detailing side of things we need to do a little bit of technical work this this minecart rail over here looks very day one minecraft and we’re almost on day

1100 so it won’t do anymore we need a new way to transport our villagers around to all of the different halls and i’m thinking hanging from the ceiling is our best bet for this one and we’re gonna need a lot of chains to make this happen

Oh i need a new storage room for the iron system nope we still have space in the back it’s fine it’s it’s totally fine now i want to add a little bit of an industrial aspect into this villager training hall since we have a lot of technical farms in the walls i figured

Having the transportation system way up here in the ceiling where we can see the villagers on their mine carts being moved around could be super fun adding in some supporting hanging cross beams i guess we can call them we can use some levers to get some power up here and

Then from this point i’m thinking we start to stretch out some acacia trap doors we can start bringing in a few powered rails right here turn it around the corner then add a few more going right up in this direction and we end up with something like this which i think

Is so cool we can use the rest of the area to really detail it and make it feel like the villager profession that we’re housing inside of there now it’s time to be working on this railroad all live long day which was absolutely fantastic until i completed the entire

Circle over here and realized i built it all off by two blocks oopsies uh but we got all the different ways in now and it’s looking absolutely fantastic and i haven’t tested it so hopefully this works all right everything is set up in here and it is looking fantastic we’ve

Got a little way up over here with the trapdoors on the walls which is looking pretty dang good and then if we come out here we can control which direction the villagers are going by changing this lever around i’ve returned right now so that the villager is just going to go in

A direct circle around this entire thing because i believe if they can make it down one of those to the very end all of the side ones are gonna work so we need to do a little test here good thing we have a lot of test subjects over here

All right sending one of these guys off we should hopefully eventually see him flying around the top or not at all because i definitely need a rail right here off you pop go go go now he should be going all the way up nope nope the cat blocked him

Nope he’s going all the way back that way okay up up and away they go go buddy go go buddy go come on villager you can’t do it he’s putting his back into it and around they go yes they made it all the way that is absolutely perfect this transportation network will

Work and he’s going to be going there while we build everything else and eventually find a home for him have fun buddy have fun on the roller coaster now my friends that we finally have all of this stuff completed over here we can move on to decorating the individual

Halls themselves this one right here is going to be for all of our librarian villagers and i want to go the route of a mystical fantasy library in here now i haven’t tested any of this but i’m really hoping it’s going to be working so if we bring some bookshelves right

Across here because you know they’re librarians they probably have books yeah oh don’t tell me i miscounted that well it looks like i did miscount this entire thing at least in this section here it’s 18 blocks everything else i just double checked them all they’re 19. for the

Sake of time and i don’t want to redo this entire hallway we are just going to go ahead and have a little weird section in the middle that i’m gonna use to store some extra books or something it’ll be it’ll be totally fine step one of this base area is now finished up

We’ve just gotta move the villagers inside we gotta decorate the floor and we gotta turn this into a much more of a magical looking library the next step i’m thinking is we come right up here to follow along with everything else we’ve done and bring in some darker moody

Colors with the dark oak in here and do that stretching all the way across hey little buddy you’re gonna make this area so magical and i really hope you don’t kill villagers mr squishy keeper of secrets you’re adorable stay here forever don’t kill my villagers please

I’ve been working on a floor design over here and finally came to something that i really enjoy just having all of the dark oak in the middle as we have the ocean bomb here we need to be very smart about how we light these sections up as

I don’t think the little lanterns up there are gonna do it what we could try is some magic floating candles so if we light those and get rid of the dirt blocks i believe they yeah they do stay awesome amazing about to look like hogwarts in here and it’s definitely not

Perfect so far in order to make this completely mod proof we’re gonna have to fill this entire place with candles pretty much because they’re not a great light source at this time 118 this would be amazing it would be perfect it’d be done but right now it’s not gonna work

Time for a bit of a new plan there we go that is looking a million times more magical in here i love this i have absolutely no idea what to do with the walls yet if you got any ideas on that let me know down in the comments below i

Want to do something magical up there next step is going to be decorating up the roof right here so i jumped into the nether to harvest up a bunch of crimson vines and from here we are going straight to find a coral reef all right let’s go find this coral reef wait

What’s the shulker you’ve got to be kidding me i thought i was out of spruce wood this is amazing and my old ender chest okay you are all coming with me oh my gosh we’re here i’m almost out of rockets too i forgot to bring my rocket shulker box okay finally

Finally finally we can gather up as much of this stuff as we can take home with us that right there should do it for us on the coil front here my friends and uh it’s time to head back on home so we can actually get to be building this brand

New reef working off what we had on the farmer’s tunnel is i wanted to bring in a lot of leaves into the ceiling over here and then also use those crimson vines that we gathered up earlier and then we can finish decorating the entire inside after that i jumped on top of the

Glass tube that we have and started placing sea pickles all over the place and adding in a bunch of coral i decided to go with the pinks and the purples on this one to give that mystical vibe and then we can save the reds and the yellows and whatnot for maybe the mason

Tunnel this is looking absolutely epic inside over here i decided to bring in spruce planks across the entire top section and it is looking very very good we need something more to detail however but i am loving the coral up there that squid though has given me an idea what

If we had glow squid swimming around up there so i believe all we need to do to get some squid to spawn up here or some glow squid that is is we need to cover this section one of my greatest all-time memories of gaming is the first time i

Played world of warcraft i chose to play the dwarf race if you’re familiar with ironforge there is an underwater train system that takes you from the ironforge dwarven capital to stormwind the human capital and it is so cool because there’s a section where you see the water and if you’re looking outside of

There you can see a loch ness monster chilling down at the bottom of the ocean i just remember that being absolutely amazing and just blowing my mind as a kid so i’m gonna leave the dolphin in here those two squids and hopefully we can get some glow squid to spawn up here

Too while i wait for those guys to pop up i’m gonna start the long adventure of moving our librarian villagers all the way over into their brand new library did i spend nearly two hours building an entire villager transportation network above so we don’t put rails on the

Ground yeah am i gonna use it no this is so much faster right here otherwise i’d take them all the way back there then all they’re down and they’re all the way back and that’s for new villagers that that’s for new villagers but these guys they’re old villagers and

They don’t need to go very far first one’s in place and there we go the final one is in place i had less librarians i thought to be honest had a lot less than i thought i did but you know we’re filling up this entire site over there everything is in

In the library and i managed to find five glow squids that are all name tag now with see scribe up there and i am loving it it is so cool watching them hello hello hello it’s very cool watching them swim back and forth up there and i had an idea for one more

Final bit of detail in here to break away from this boring old spruce wall and that is to turn it into a geode but not a boring circular geo it’s something that’s kind of weirdly shaped like this and there we have it our first brand new villager trading hall being the library

Is fully completed my friends this is looking absolutely amazing but we still have two more hallways that we need to finish up since i recently finished a castle largely based off of blocks that you can get from a stonemason i thought this would be an excellent opportunity to

Create the new hallway themed after the castle so starting off here in the nether i needed hundreds of pieces of warped wood so i just spent a long time chopping down the remaining of the forest as mentioned the stonemasons are going to be a great source of materials

Here for us so i spent a very very long time gathering up bricks from them to see how many i could possibly get thankfully for the stonemason hall over here we’re gonna be using largely stones to decorate the walls and everything like that so the dart up there that can

Stay and check this out right here we’ve got all the andesite and diorite and stone that we could ever need to be able to decorate this area the base design of this villager training hall on this wing as well as the exact same as what we’ve

Done before i just gotta start by making a bunch of little capsules for our villagers to live inside All of the trading sites are now set up and ready to go for our villagers to move in but first we got to get the floor finished up down here so it’s a little bit easier to move around this time we’re going to be using a mixture

Of cobblestone as well as andesite in the floor and then a bunch of smooth stone has a little bit of a trim block similar to how we did it already right over there in the library i tried doing something a little bit more decorative with this one we’ll uh we’ll see if it

Pays off now this right here is really starting to feel like the castle and i am loving it one thing we are missing in though is the copious amounts of flowering azaleas i had used that and the walls that are now in place and it looks so much brighter in here with

Having the white direct up at the top and oh my gosh i am loving it i figured an extra fun detail we could add around here is a few brown beds to symbolize some benches for ourselves and then using the anvils we can stack up our flowering azaleas to make it look like

We have some nice little plant potters why they’re with the stone masons i don’t know you don’t ask why somebody builds you build because you must i don’t even know what this monstrosity over here is that i’ve created this is disgusting that is a whole nother level

Moving on before we can get the villagers in here we need to add a few more details and finish off the ceiling so it doesn’t look quite as disgusting before we bring them into their new forever home after only three dirt pillars of shame to get up to this level

Here we are finally done with decorating the ceiling and it is looking absolutely fantastic up here now i’ve just got to move all the stone basins from over there and we still have a librarian to move oh no i guess i gotta move a lot of

Them around all right time to go this villager trading hall is turning out to be fantastic i took a bit of time to move the existing stonemason villagers over to their new home then decided it was time for a full test pulling a villager out of the breeder you can see

Them getting on the railroad and having the biggest thrill of their life before ending up in the tiny box that they’ll call home for the rest of it two hallways now are fully completed up and we have 18 stone masons in here which is gonna be absolutely amazing as soon as i

Get the nine new ones leveled up and over in the first library hall i decided to add a few more extra details of i love the flower pots and everything we had in the first one so i decided to bring in their own version right over

Here with the amethyst right on top and of course many glow squids had to die in order to create all these signs and it looks so good we’ve got one hallway left and we’ve got the interior area to transform and to make into something really cool today but uh i think i need

A little bit of a break i need a little bit of a break from working inside this hole and there’s something we do in every single hardcore episode that we haven’t done yet plant a field the potato used to be my fifth most used block inside of the entire hardcore

World and now it’s not even in the top ten which means today we must place a very very large potato field covering this entire hill [Applause] And there we go a new potato field i even surrounded our sad excuse for a pumpkin field right over here with some bushy goodness and it is looking fantastic out here that was such a nice break from building over at mooshland by building something else in a completely different area of the world

Okay it’s time to get back over to muscle and actually get some productive stuff done oh yes the blank canvas of our final hallway we must build today and thankfully this one is completely in the mushroom i am sorry to worry about lighting it up our villagers can just

Live in darkness here because it’ll be a mood but there’s one slight issue coming with this here is we’re trying to fill it with tool smith’s weapon smith and armorsmiths right well i don’t really have any of those so we need to get a few starting off with some tool smiths

Right here and these dudes are only super useful here if we can actually trade them all the way to max and zombie cure them so it’s going to take a long time to do this we can fully unlock these guys for a little surprise later

On but we might as well level them up twice so they’re locked in some good iron trades right there i’ll take those but uh we’re never going to use them but look at that efficiency three there’s hope for a diamond pickaxe there maybe we’ll see our gold boy has summoned

Another gold boy over here so dropping him back down we can throw the splash potion of weakness and hopefully that hit them and it did which i’ve already run off to the nether to grab up a bunch of crimson logs for ourselves so we could bring that up because i want to

Start working with a lot of deep slate as well as crimson so we get that kind of darker red maroony colors with the dark deep slight colors as well and on we get back with the process of building up this entire area oh boy base steps on

The new hall are now finished up and i’m kind of digging this color palette in here i want to figure out something we can do with the floor because right now it’s a little boring and i still want to figure out how we can get some little

Obelisk things here in the corners as well so i’m kind of getting all that stuff going but i saw this right up here and i was instantly hooked on the idea of having some movement inside of our build a lot of minecraft builds get very

Very boring you hear a lot of big name minecraft builders talk about this constantly is builds just feel very static you have to do something to give them light and well the mine shaft is a great idea on how to do that so i want to send a little mine cart going just

Zoom in back and forth around here i know we’re going to have minecart zipping back and forth all the way up here but i feel like the more chaotic we make this zone over here the more unique it’s going to feel so i wanted to add a

Little bit more in on that front so we’ve got a rail going around the back with a bunch of powered rails in here and i think that’ll be enough power to make a mine cart with a chest in it just keep going around in a big old circle

Hopefully like this let’s see does it make it yes it’s zooming that’s almost a little too fast though there we go awesome i love breaking the mold of these zones here as well which add a lot more interest to this section since we aren’t very heavily guided by these pillars

Anymore so that makes it unique over here i’ve been trying to come up with something to do on the far side away from the rails and i think i’ve got it i think i’ve come up with something really cool here we’re going to try and make a

Lava fisher which for that we are going to be needing a lot of magma blocks for so we’re back up here at the magma cube farm that is always a sight but to behold and i love it we’ve got three stacks of magma blocks and that should

Be good to go but wait we also need more basalt oh boy gonna die to a magma cube out here you know i’d plan to build a basalt generator in this episode i was like nah we won’t need one we won’t need that much basalt and i spent like three

Hours mining in the nether fort at this point so i’d originally planned to put lava in this build but i’m thinking we can just do some glowstone hidden beside some orange stained glass and that might be able to fit it because uh lava might be a little dangerous to work with back

Here especially if we want to clear it out eventually for a farm or something all these things that we’re building up here i’m trying to make them rather flat because we might be removing them eventually not that i really want to after we’ve spent time building them you

Know it could happen but if we get some magma in like this and then we go behind it and add a little bit of glowstone to help light this place up and bring the orange stained glass in front of the glowstone and we add an outer layer

Around this with our black stone and finally bringing in the basalt stone do we end up with anything that looks like lava no not really but it does look pretty cool i think i like it i think i like it that’d be better as shroom lights but i

Don’t have any i decided to just let the building brain go here my friends and check this out it is looking fantastic in here instead of going with the overgrown look we have elsewhere i want to make this feel more like the mine so i brought in a bunch of hanging drip

Stone in the ceiling and to help fill the space a little bit more added these extra structural bands throughout here i kind of wish i had done in the other halls but they’re looking good as is with just the big white ones then we got some lava in the floor which took

Forever every single one of those is a unique bucket so i had to get a almost 60 buckets of lava for this but i am loving how the geodes are looking over there i added the second one in and decided to go a lot less on the

Glowstone in a red orange glass and i forgot that not too sure how i managed that one but uh fixed it now i guess now this far side over here i brought in a bunch of cobbled deep slight as well as cobblestone just helped mix that thing

Up a bunch and then i decided around these fissures that we’re creating to move from the basalt into the regular stone i added a bunch of coal ore in there and i kind of love it and it makes me want to do more stuff with those

Blocks in here now uh we get the tedious task of i need to actually finish curifying villagers and then move them over here that’s that’s not going to be fun oh my gosh i have less than two hours remaining to be able to finish this video and everything like that

Before i need to release it to y’all and we haven’t even started on the middle here so i don’t know what’s gonna happen i’ve come to the realization that if i do anything more than move these two guys over here i’m gonna completely run out

Of time and not be able to tackle the middle at all so we’ve got these two over here now and they’re looking awesome this do trades an efficiency three unbreaking three shovel for one emerald that is insane this guy fortune one shuffle for an emerald it

Kind of sucks but that all being said i think it’s time that we spent a little while working out here before i totally run out of time for today’s episode and as a first step we need to have some way of bringing these chains to not just be

Floating because this entire thing out here is just floating awkwardly now i’m just winging it on this one over here but i think if we were to start taking some cobblestone slabs going around this entire way here and just kind of covering the tops of these sections but

I kind of like that i think if we do that and go all the way around and then have a ring that comes up a half slab and do that a few times coming all the way here into the center that’d be amazing but time to place a lot of blocks Well we got a little bit of a roof on this cavern now and it’s looking absolutely awesome and i want to make sure i’m doing this central area right in here i don’t want to just throw something together today for the sake of time yeah i kind of finished it and just

Like really not do it right so i think what we’re going to work on here just as the final piece of today’s build because i’ve spent four days building this thing and there’s eventually got to be a time where you call it quits and you just got

To be happy with what you got i guess i’m i’m so happy with this build so far it’s looking absolutely amazing but i want to get a little bit of a pathway going around here of using some cobble deep slate i feel like it’s going to look awesome inside this area i’m

Absolutely in love with this tunnel we made over here so i think we echo that same type of detail around here just having cobble deep sled all over the place could be very cool and i can happily say that it does but on top of this a mountain of shulker boxes i can

Also say that our villager trading hall is now complete for today with four unique wings from the underground farming grotto to the mystical library the mini castle inspired a hall for our stonemason villagers and finally diving into a large volcanic mine structure for our future mass production of diamond

Tools this project has taken well over 40 hours to complete at this point and dang i should have just recorded a 100 days challenge video as we’re well over that here as well thank you so much for watching please be sure to leave a like on this video if

You did enjoy as it helps me out a bunch and shows me you want to see more stuff like this down here in the future but thank you all so very much again subscribe if you are brand new and with that my friends i will catch you on the flip side
