I Built For 40 HOURS in Minecraft Hardcore (#14)

I am a sad boy i live near a beautiful mountain range and despite nearing day 1200 in this hardcore adventure i have hardly even built on the surface past episode 1 when i transformed this village now don’t get me wrong i love the underground megabase that i’ve built

It’s massive immersive and the best part is i never have to go outside just like in real life but i’m challenging myself to make this area as beautiful as possible starting today where i will transform part of this mountain range into a massive farming village so the

First thing to do is figure out where i want to actually start building now don’t get me wrong this side of the mountain is pretty beautiful however this side is way cooler if you ask me this is so beautiful and i’m so excited to build here this episode now i suppose

I could just start building here but that’d be kind of boring instead i was thinking we could go ahead and actually start digging a really long tunnel from one side of the mountain into the other but first i should probably repair my pickaxe there we go all better There we go my friends i have busted through to the other side now ideally this tunnel would be a little bit less crammed and taller and more decorated going through here i began clearing space in the ceiling because i wanted this tunnel to expand upwards but not downwards really

And now we spam a bunch of tnt Oh my god i’ve made a mob farm i would call that semi-successful as easy as using the tnt made things i was now left with a pretty rugged looking tunnel that still needed a lot of fixing i spent the next full hour going through filling in

Holes and carving away to try and shape the terrain to my liking and with the tunnel mostly dug out it is time to decorate [Applause] I wanted to design a simple entrance on each side of the tunnel that blended nicely into the mountain and from there it was time to start decorating the interior now i could have gone really crazy here with detail but instead i opted to keep things simple with the occasional spruce support beam with

Hanging lanterns to keep things lit up i figured this was a better way to go about it especially because the only time i’m gonna be here is when i’m traveling from point a to point b from there it was just a matter of replacing the floor with some grass so i could

Keep the same pathway design and after connecting the tunnel up to the main base with yet another path it was pretty much complete and that means that we can finally start building on this side of the mountain but i need materials first i want to use the blocks from the new

Mangrove swamp over in these builds and in a 6 000 block radius from my spawn i have still not found a single one so with that said i think the best plan of attack is going to be go really far in the nether and see where we end up and

Uh i’ve done very little another exploring since building this massive nether hub honestly i think the best bet is just gonna be to get up on the roof going through i found a piece of bedrock that was at y level 127 which meant that i could bust through it all right my

Friends we’ll place some ladders in here we’ll go to the top corner throw it under pearl and jump and there we go we should be back on the nether roof now in theory this should be the square above our nether portals i figured to make things easier i should

Go ahead and just bust through now i may regret this this may be a bad idea after going to youtube and reminding myself on how to break bedrock i got to work setting up the obsidian and tnt explosion chambers and theoretically just removed this stuff i severely underestimated how not fun

Breaking bedrock would be like i think i would rather just do chores in real life over doing this again if i had to pick it’s so tedious anyways after a full hour of work i was finally starting to get into the groove and then i blew up

My tnt shulker box and lost about six full stacks so that was a nice setback but that’s okay after a quick stop to the creeper farm i was ready to keep exploding i’m gonna put this down uh a bit further away this time that’s probably probably a good idea right

Hey there we go my friends i can finally see down into the nether hub Believe it or not it took me six hours to remove all of this bedrock i didn’t expect to do this today why am i like this well my friends i hope that this was worth it if you ask me it looks pretty dang cool honestly i’m proud i did this

But now it is time to venture out to unknown territory we need to find a mangrove swamp along the way i wanted to make a pit stop over at the wither skeleton farm which i have not been to in quite a while i wanted to get some

More bone blocks for my build this episode there we go that should be enough so i went on continuing my journey until i was about 5 000 blocks out in the nether well i hope that this leads somewhere cool and it actually appears as if i have surfaced right into a swamp but

Hopefully this extends into the mangrove swamp because i don’t really care about these bumps anymore okay there’s a jungle here that’s good news the mangrove swamps typically are near jungles so i’ve heard yeah there we go adventuring time i actually didn’t know that was the last biome i

Needed that is very exciting i’m so glad to be here oh man i really love the vibe you get in here it’s such an immersive feeling and with the full shulker box of materials i set off back home This is not good Oh my god oh my god oh i just almost died i just almost died it’s fine i’m fine everything’s fine day out of my hardcore world you are not welcome here and on that note let’s do some building building near the mountain will require lots of terraforming so first things

First let’s go ahead and find the new spot to collect mass amounts of dirt What the where did you come from what oh my god he’s a magician and one full chakra box later that should be at least enough to get us started maybe hopefully Going through here i want to create a large flat area that i can build a farmhouse on top of Well to be honest you guys i don’t really know what i’m doing here but i’m just kind of putting down blocks and let’s see how they work out here okay yeah i lied one shelker box of dirt was definitely not even close to enough Oh no way there’s a pink sheep pretty close to my base and now we can get back to work Learning to terraform better is high on my priority list while learning how to build though it took me quite a while to get the actual shape of this hill how i wanted but in the end after over two full hours of work i was quite happy with what i built especially when

Compared to what i had when i started and now it’s time to collect some materials I spent the next two hours collecting materials for this build including mangrove wood dark oak wood deep slate and so much more and with that my friends i think we have everything we need to begin building and then i remembered that i really don’t know how

To build so i spent the next couple of days browsing pinterest for some inspiration and also stumbled onto this building tips video from blue nerd and i’m not kidding you guys i learned so much just from building a couple of the designs from this video that i decided

To just go for it and try designing a build of my own and after a little bit of trial and error i am super happy with how this build turned out i spent the next morning trying to work out the details of the interior of this

Farmhouse and as it turns out i don’t know what i’m doing with interiors i probably should have figured that one out earlier so after spending a while designing just the general layout of the floor plan i set off to find all of the tall flower types i figured the exterior

Decoration would be more of my strong suit there’s the sunflowers the lilacs the rose bushes and finally the peonies Going through here on the exterior i want to smoothen out the terrain so the house better fits into the area From there i got to work on a back entrance to the house as well as the fenced off area near the other side i also took some time to add some shrubbery around the house including these flower gardens as well as a small crop field to add a bit more life but to

Really make this area come to life i needed to work on pathways With the pathways built i now had a better idea of where the empty space was around my build so i began outlining what eventually would be crop fields with mangrove roots which if you ask me look really nice The next phase of the project required a lot of digging so after setting up a temporary haze 2 beacon in the area i began clearing out some space I want to incorporate a bunch of the new blocks into this build having already used mangrove wood on this house the next thing i want to use is mud specifically the mud bricks i think they look really cool so luckily for us though i think mojang made crafting the

Mud bricks really easy as far as i’m concerned you pretty much just put four mud in the crafting table dumb jokes aside crafting mud bricks first requires you to craft packed mud and that requires you to combine mud with wheat but my only source of wheat

Comes from these wheat fields and i am far too lazy to harvest these manually the first layer is complete i think i want to go ahead and have at least four more of these There’s the second layer complete There’s the third layer layer number four and finally layer number five now i needed to find a way to populate this farm with villagers now it is true that i do have a villager reader back at the main base but that’s kind of far away i think it’ll be faster

To instead try and kidnap i mean borrow some villagers from over here come on buddy come with me here we go homie where could you possibly be going right now where are you going dude there we go we got one villager now i got to do this all again somehow i am managing

To lure three farmers away from the village this is actually so not planned but honestly i will take it i’m not gonna complain about this well it didn’t work they all ran away okay well i managed to get two more villagers in here which means i only

Need to breed them twice and in the end i figured it would just be faster to go back to the village and get two more oh my god we gotta help this guy dude what are you doing buddy come here buddy how about we don’t jump off this ledge huh

How does that sound okay there’s four villagers i just need one more and there we go my friends here is the last villager each villager can hold eight stacks of items so going through i gave them all seeds until their inventory was full meaning any wheat that they

Harvested would stay on the ground from there i went through finishing up the redstone mechanism which triggers a series of note blocks to sound about every 30 seconds ultimately these note blocks are there to keep the alleys occupied which speaking of lace i should probably go and get those so i set off

To the nearest pillager outpost to find some of these new companions all right looks like we got a couple of them over here i need to get five of them but these two should be a good start come on you guys this is quite frankly very embarrassing With the wheat farm at least semi-functional now it was time to tackle the next thing i needed for mud bricks which is actual mud now i could just make regular trips out to the mangrove swamp and get mass amounts of mud that way but that’s kind of boring

And it also destroys the terrain luckily for me it’s actually pretty easy to generate mud yourself and that means that you can get it in infinite supply i want to build some sort of mud factory mechanism thing over here so that means i need to do a lot of terraforming I cleared out a large flat section into the terrain for the building itself but first i had to actually build the mud farm i found a really simple design by jax the legend but i just tweaked it to collect the mud into three layers instead of one i wanted to design the

Building itself using mud bricks but to get those i had to actually collect the mud from the farm to get the mud bricks for the building there we go and when the mud reaches all the way up to this corner the machine is basically full then i just go through

Here and collect mud it’s that simple After spending some time gathering spruce mangrove and other materials i got to work building up the mud factory which is honestly one of my favorite builds in the world so far it’s so simple but i think the color palette just works so well i was nearing 20

Hours into this project and despite a bunch of terraforming and two full buildings the area was still lacking a lot of detail which was honestly kind of discouraging but after a full night’s rest i got up the next morning and made it my goal to add as much life to this

Area as possible starting with the area around the farm i laid out a spruce staircase that would connect it up to the main pathway and then blended it into the terrain with some tough and melty cobblestone the goal here was to make it go from a series of seemingly

Separate builds to then connect them into one cohesive thing naturally i continued the path along the sides of the mud factory and then got to work filling in these empty spaces with a bunch of actual mud which go figure works quite well in this scenario I still felt like the mud factory needed to be more established into the terrain so i went through and built up a retaining wall out of strip spruce which definitely looked a lot better and made the whole area kind of pop But the last time that i checked farming villages actually need area to farm so now i wanted to begin laying out a series of crop fields because the terrain was so hilly i decided it would be best to flatten out multiple flat segments at differing elevations and

Then go through with a series of retaining walls sort of like the old school terraces that people used to make for the actual terrace design i kept it pretty similar to what i’ve been using but outlined the top in mangrove routes which add a nice aesthetic and some

Variation finally happy with the design i got to work on the second flat segment and finally the third which had a slightly different and more rounded shape i also noticed here a perfect opportunity to make a staircase leading up to the mud factory which just helps tie the area together after taking some

Time to gather a bunch more mangrove roots i began laying out a fourth segment as well as a fifth large segment that wrapped all the way around behind the farmhouse taking some inspiration from earlier i started to connect this area up to the pathway on the other side

I learned that all of these different pathways not only add variation in elevation but a ton of immersion when walking around the area and finally thanks to all of the different terraces this area was starting to look much larger and way more put together i still however needed to actually plant the

Fields which was kind of a pretty important step and would help things out way more i don’t know about you guys but i am quite happy with how this is looking so far it’s actually crazy to think where this mountain range started this episode and then where it’s at

Right now but i still have lots of work to do i want to go ahead now and actually start filling in these fields with various different crops it’s going to look really cool making some pit stops over at my automatic farms i was able to fully stockpile carrots and potatoes Okay there’s the potato field in place next up i want to go ahead and make a carrot farm on this lower level here So with the potato and the carrot field complete i now want to actually go ahead and make this bottom field a massive beetroot field beetroot doesn’t get enough love i mean sure it sucks but it looks really nice The beetroot field is in and looking pretty good i might add it’ll look better when it’s actually grown in and now i want to go through and make this field i think into a wheat field i don’t really have one of those yet over here

There we go now i just have this little guy over here i think we’ll go ahead and actually go with a carrot field because that’s my favorite i’m a little bit biased there’s still a lot more work to do but first crop growing montage I spent the next couple of hours dotting in pieces of detail wherever i felt needed this usually consisted of filling in grassy patches with flower fields building up rocky segments to break up the terrain or even just working on the pathways some more i severely underestimated how long detailing like

This takes but i’m glad i stuck with it and right there at just over 30 hours spent on this project was where i initially planned on just ending the video i was so sure of it that i even sent a tweet out saying that i was done

Recording or something like that but for some reason i just had this nagging thought that there was still more to do maybe i was right maybe i just need therapy maybe both but either way i thought the area wasn’t big enough yet so i began terraforming a flat area near

The bottom of the farming section bringing yet another path through the area i began planting a gigantic wheat field i even freestyled this bridge across the ravine which i’m super proud of before carrying the path and the wheat field across to the other side but as i kept expanding the terrain kept

Speaking to me so i thought next i would test out my building skills and absolutely freestyle another farmhouse over here turns out uh yeah building is still pretty hard for me but i’m very proud of how this came out especially having not done any planning whatsoever

On it i took things another step further and started building up this mine shaft entrance into the side of the mountain here and finally went through connecting up pathways and adding details around the new builds going through with one final massive carrot field to cover even more area with farmland this project was

Finally starting to feel more massive and complete and while the last field was growing in i had the idea for one final build to really seal the deal i noticed there was a very large empty space between the mountain entrance and the farmhouse so after a little bit of

Time designing i started building up a massive tower to overlook the land and that my friends is a project completed also interiors suck so i’m boycotting them bye
