I Coded a Minecraft Update in 7 days

I’m going to code the ultimate desert temple update in just seven days transforming it from this to a giant Labyrinth filled the traps new game mechanics and an ancient sword with devastating power surely I didn’t bite off more than I could chew again here’s the game plan I want the new desert

Temple to have a pit that drops into a procedurally generating vertical dungeon like end cities but flipped upside down and underground so let’s build the first room every Temple will drop you into this old bathhouse water kind of gross but better than falling to your death I suppose I

Feel like it’s missing something like ancient Pottery after 15 minutes I made Three Pot designs that I effortlessly coded into the game why are my pots laying eggs yeah okay so I had some trouble first I made the pots out of baby slimes but then they would

Disappear when you play in peaceful mode and I made them out of baby pigs but blue tables don’t work with them chickens I coated up a Band-Aid solution and it works pretty good but even though they’re different than the way Mojang made it I think these are still pretty

Cool since you can break them this is the loot that I got after breaking 50 pots and you’ll notice something pretty strange new lore baby aliens built the desert temple confirmed anyway let’s build more rooms this one as you can see is pretty simple just a couple of platforms a little

Parkour jump that I actually somehow missed and then you got these chests over here and all they contain is a simple note nice so this next room doesn’t have any crazy tractions or anything but it does have something very controversial don’t worry it doesn’t drop any shulker shells

But these guys are awesome in vertical environments so I bet they’re going to be great here too hopefully because I put them literally everywhere in this room and if I’m wrong about this being fun this room’s gonna be terrible that was a strong day one but I want an even

Stronger day two by making the treasure room the room that will hold the sandstorm sword of course I could just put the sword in a chest but no no I gotta be fancy and you know what it was worth it now you can’t just pull it out what are

You king freaking Arthur no you need to solve a puzzle and that’s where the Next Room comes in see I got chat GPT to write a three-page poem the first page tells you about the ah a new item in the state of pack the second page tells you

About how you can trade it for the power of sand and the final page tells you that you’re basically screwed because as soon as you flip to it you get locked into a room that floods with lava that I effortlessly redstoned into the game what the on my first try nonetheless

So this next room has a standard parkour and some spawners that spawn mummies now you’re probably wondering how you get the ox well you gotta kill a bunch of mummies to get on shards then you combine nine of them to get an arc these function exactly like a totem

Of undying but they give you resistance when held in your off hand and Rejuvenation when held in your main hand day two was heavily focused on coding in Redstone but I want to spend the third day building more rooms and you know what I really found my stride because

These are the best rooms that I’ve built so far so here I have another very vertical room the player can jump into the middle here and try to get to the top section but let’s say they they drop down here because they mess up the parkour if they come all the way over

Here they have the chance of getting some more Loot and you have a way of climbing back up and retrying the parkour you can get to the top level here where you can again get some additional Loot and there’s two bridges that connect other rooms as well as a

Room on top this next room is by far my favorite room in the entire data pack not because it relies on any crazy gimmick or anything it’s just so interconnected and confusing and claustrophobic it’s just really fun to explore and is so different than every

Other room in this data pack I love it I built one more room today which presents an interesting choice so you can come in try to jump across these pads and then you can open the chest and then grab whatever loot that you see here now of

Course making this jump is a little bit dangerous you have the option however of shooting this wooden button up here with a bow and when you do it activates a bridge but you gotta run here really fast because as soon as you do your loot is going to start draining out so you

Gotta quickly grab whatever you can before it drains into the lava beneath it’s already day four and we haven’t even built the surface level structure since there’s no way I can do this on my own in time I need to call in help from the greatest Builder I have ever known foreign

You’re the man zeppelinton while he works on that I want to spice things up by adding more interesting loot so in addition to whatever you can find in the normal desert temple you can now find Dune Strider boots they have the defense stats of iron boots but their durability

Of leather boots they also give you a speed boost when you walk on any variant of sand including Soul Sand also I wasn’t kidding when I said that aliens helped build the desert temple so I think it makes sense that players can now find the deep dark Explorer map

Which will lead to an ancient city and finally by far the most important item in this data pack the item that makes this dungeon actually fun is the potion of safe passage this potion can be found in barrels and I designed the dungeon so that they are abundant and almost always

Within Arm’s Reach when consumed they give you 10 seconds of levitation you can either wait until the 10 seconds are up or press shift to cancel the levitation and gain 34 real-life days of slow falling or slow falling until you touch the ground now next whichever comes first that’s enough coding it is

Officially crunch time so let’s pick up the pace I woke up at the butt crack of dawn and I built all day but for today we only had 10 rooms and we need so so much more to make this not feel repetitive especially since these are the rooms that are going to glue

Together the larger ones and actually get the underground structure its shape after 12 hours I built a grand total of 33 additional rooms nice now obviously it would take too long to go through every single one so let me just show you some of the highlights for example this room which unfortunately

Doesn’t work due to a bug you’re supposed to come over here and then everything is fine completely safe it’s it’s lit up with these Redstone torches you open the chest it triggers a skulk sensor and then three mummies will drop behind you so I’m gonna play the long

Game and keep this trap in the desert temple because presumably someday it’s gonna randomly start working and it’ll catch some people off guard and then we have this room which obviously isn’t homage to the original desert temple y’all know what’s gonna happen if you step in that pressure plate and then

Down here we have another claustrophobic room with a bunch of different areas to explore a little little interesting line of sight some loot over there and the barrel over here and then over here you got some innocent looking diamonds but if you mine them you blow up I made a

Couple normal hallways some of them have Arrow traps which I will admit isn’t super difficult oh that one hit me it’s pretty easy to avoid this room’s a little bit weird and different so there’s some spikes at the bottom I originally wanted it to be Lava but the

Whole room started catching on fire you know how it is and then there’s this room which is kind of goofy so you know how there’s these banners just all over the place around this Temple well I figure somebody has to be making this so this is kind of the the station where

The the poor worker would be stored away and and forced to you know take the raw material and sit at their little yellow dye workstation and just make these banners day in and day out kind of a kind of a sad existence but maybe they liked it hopefully now obviously these

Ancient desert people were very Advanced they knew their way around Redstone not perfect they they knew some basic things but then here with slime they’re trying to experiment and this wasn’t gonna go anywhere yes so if you look around and see Redstone that’s terrible then it was

It’s just part of the lore it was on purpose I tell you speaking of art our friend zeppelinton just got back to us and what he made is nothing less than incredible I mean just look at this place the attention to detail the shading on the floor the

Terracotta and the the arrangement over here the colored candles the way that he uses just blocks in general it’s so creative and I I would never even think that combinations like this would be possible and the throne looks great as well zeppelinton just really put me to

Shame here I mean this is incredible and then every single corner has these observation towers that you can climb up and and look out into the desert now if you guys haven’t already heard scientists found a secret void in the Great Pyramids around 2017 and they’re not sure what’s in there but definitely

Tim decided to do the same thing and included a burial chamber for the Pharaoh this is such a cool idea I love it and as you can see it is protected by gold it even has the little Pharaoh head there and then it’s got whatever objects

Were on his person at the time I did make one tiny adjustment which was including this Barrel here with a bunch of potions of safe passage I figure it would be nice to have a safe place for people to experiment with this new potion in a place where you know

Obviously it’s just not that dangerous and then when they’re ready they can jump down into that pit below and then enter the dungeon that we’ve been making for this entire video it’s day six which I spent most of my time doing the coding for the sword now when you hold the ankh

And approach the pedestal the sword will begin to glimmer and then when you throw it on the ground this sequence will play out Anyway once you get the sword you’ll see that it does as much damage as a diamond sword but a slightly faster attack speed and when you right click you summon a flying sand block that orbits around you also there’s no limit to how many you can summon look I made a perfect circle

In Minecraft without even trying you just know there’s a Mystic cat somewhere trembling like a leaf now you will also notice that the sand doesn’t do any damage where it collides with entities that’s because it’s inactive right now if we press shift then it begins to swarm the nearest enemies

Look at how terrifying that is I feel so powerful I’m about to wipe out this Village Believe me this is as fun as it looks I’m gonna spend the rest of the day messing with these jigsaw blocks which basically tells the structure how to spawn during World Generation so I want each jigsaw Block in a large room to connect to one of these rooms it’s the

Dawn of the final day and now comes the fun part play testing so unlike the previous desert temple that I just pasted into the world this is actually naturally spawning in the world and it looks like it Blends in with the train so well I this is a really encouraging

Sight already the biggest thing that I’m worried about however is did the rest of the dungeon actually generate way oh it works you have no idea how good this feels look at how nicely this area just fits together I feel like all the colors work well the the lava at the

Bottom there I mean oh I don’t want to Pat myself in the back too much but oh there’s a lot of shulkers down there ah stuck in the ceiling no no oh no no no no oh God you should check when Apple save me oh no no no no no no

Oh that was so close okay I will admit there’s there’s so many shulkers here I don’t know I don’t know if this is a good thing okay I didn’t want to say it this is terrible what was I thinking God let me down so after looting this entire desert temple this is the loot that I came away with pretty good the biggest thing that I noticed is that enchanted golden apples maybe I just got really lucky but they seem to be super common now as you’ll notice I have a ton

Of particles on me that’s because I uh I had to use two of them not necessarily because I’m bad at Minecraft but maybe more so game design you see shulkers in the end cities I realize now works so well because they pushed the player upwards the dungeon wants the player to

Get to the top so it’s like a river carrying the player through the currents but in this environment you’re trying to get to the bottom so I feel like the whole time I was trying to swim against the tide and oh it was just so not fun

So I think that means we have to kill them all I felt bad about killing all of them so I kept one and I named Kevin I’m gonna release this data pack April 7th and if you want to play it right now you can gain early access to it by
