I Dug Up An ENTIRE Ancient City In Minecraft Hardcore (#38)

That’s right guys today we are going to be mining up an entire ancient city yeah you know the home of the uh the terrifying warden the thing that literally has been ending hardcore series left and right yeah we’re gonna mine one of those up all the way to the

Surface and you might be asking yourself why well why not just like why haven’t you subscribed if you guys are new here you guys might want to hit that subscribe button if you enjoy this video because we upload spicy videos like this all the time but before we get into

Mining this we got a problem a big problem actually a problem being that the ancient city that we found in our last hardcore video where we’re exploring the 1.19 content uh here let me just let me fly over there real quick the problem that i’m having is that

Where we found our ancient city the closest one to our home that we found so far is next to this giant volcano basically as cool as this is you know maybe we make this like a giant volcano you know actually later video ideas moving on the ancient city that we did

Find in the last hardcore videos right in between these two giant volcanoes well three volcanoes looking things actually i left this little post thing so i’d be able to come back here whenever i need to but i have the realization that this would actually be

A huge issue because if i’m going to be mining out in ancient city which in ancient city i don’t really know how big it is exactly but if i had to guess it’s something close to 100 by 100 which we’ve already dug in the past that was

Really painful but this would be even worse because if i were to dig down to this ancient city we’d be having to cut straight into these two mountains all the way down to bedrock now i don’t know about you but that that doesn’t sound very appealing having to shave down like

Half of these volcanoes which are just very cool in their own right and i don’t really want to mess with anyways so what i’m thinking about doing is i’m thinking about finding another ancient city hopefully maybe possibly hey look look great tower but possibly one that’ll be

Even closer to home also while i’m here i might as well try can i lead in l.a oh i can’t okay can i actually follow me though will it keep up because if it keeps up i’m gonna take you it the lead already bro okay here let’s try that

Again let’s try that again come on allay i’m gonna take you home with me all right so far so good nice he actually keeps up perfect i’m gonna take this alley all the way home now so as i was saying before i interrupted myself very rudely me i’m going to attempt to find

An ancient city a little bit closer to home possibly not underneath a giant mountain um it is after i escort our new family member all the way home to the kingdom all right there we go we got our first delay in the kingdom that’s coming

Down below who wants to be the first to lay in the king kadani thank you uh but yeah guys comment down below who wants to be the first to lay in the kingdom because i’m you know naming things in the kingdom after my subscribers which i actually realized i didn’t name anyone

In the last video so uh first time i’ve moved don’t worry i’ll do double this video but y’all get to name in some things in the kingdom after we find ourselves a brand spanking new ancient city i don’t know if it’s new if it’s ancient regardless i’m gonna fly

All the way out in this direction towards the shulker farm because out in this way is an ice spikes biome and i mean this is pretty much the farthest i’ve gone in this direction so if there’s gonna be any new chunks it’d be in this direction

Here clear my throat with some g g-fuel as i was saying uh there’d be new chunks in this direction because i’ve not gone in this direction pretty much at all also village right here village up there you know what rhymes with village hillage hi how you doing mr iron golem

Trying to get your cheeks beat all right no he’s kind of hurting my feelings i’m not gonna lie maybe i just uh give him the hands from far away so back to the task at hand though uh trying to find an ancient city so i’m gonna just start

Hopping into cave after cave digging straight down hoping that we could be able to find an ancient city so let’s just get to it Oh here we go now we got ours now we’re talking got ourselves an ancient city and oh my gosh dude i don’t remember these things being this big i need to be quiet yeah no i definitely need to be quiet where’s the way out all right we should be chilling we’re good

We’re good as we learned in the last video warden ain’t nothing ain’t nothing on me they’re just a little bit scary i’m not gonna lie i also completely cheesed him and uh oh wow um this thing is definitely a lot bigger than i remember it being that

Much i will say so here let me try to like outline it with like torches just so i can visually see around it oh my gosh it’s like oh yep if you actually get rid of the shriekers huh i should dig these up i’ll start digging those up

As we go how about that oh no there’s another one up there come on dude come on come on come on don’t do this don’t do this get me out of here i’m gonna fly into the roof where am i i can’t see anything

Okay i’m up high that’s all i know oh my gosh that was so scary i think he’s down that way he’s over there somewhere oh yeah i can see my torches yep right there i there i was down over there and i could see the ward and he’s skulking

Around down there sniffing trying to find me also why are those going off all these skull sensors down there they keep popping off bro what’s going on over there a bat i literally just have to sit here and wait until this guy leaves or alternatively i guess i could just start

Working this direction continuing the outline oh diamond just want to see where all the walls are so here let’s just place down a ton of torches real quick and run around this thing trying not to set these off as much as possible okay and officially this entire thing

Has now been outlined it’s kind of hard to tell because it’s just that dark but we got torches wrapped around the entire ancient city i just found another one of these uh absolute choches i’ve mined up a ton of skulk sensors and also just shriekers literally over a stack of

Literally over a stack of sensors and 21 streakers and that’s just along the outside so because that ratio is so bad that tells me that literally all the streakers are on the inside also a lot of the shriekers that i got were from where is it there’s a spot in particular

I think it yeah over here right over here well there’s still a lot more sensors um there’s a spot right here that had like four of them because there’s a bunch of chests now i’ve not looted the i’ve not looted the chest yet but i won’t and i was waiting to do it

Until after i torched up the entire place let’s see real quick what do we got here music disc not the new one got a diamond hoe don’t really care just some books this is honestly kind of trash i’m not gonna lie all right moving on to chest number two though this one

Swift sneak three there we go okay that’s good and some bottles of enchanting and then wasn’t there one more chest somewhere oh there’s this one up here and boom it’s just some more bottles and swift snake 3 again which i thought swift sneak was supposed to go

On to boot a lot of people in the comments section of my last video said it goes on your pants which changes things up actually because you know paints like there’s like nothing you put on pants you know that’s actually really cool however now that this thing is

Entirely outlined with torches so i can actually see the entire thing ow and i’ll know where i’m going to be working next thing i want to do is kind of outline it in the over world which is going to be kind of difficult so this is

What i’m going to do basically at each corner like each farthest corner of this thing i’m going to tower up and dig straight up to the surface and then kind of just attach this the square the square squared up bro english is just like the hardest language sometimes

Kidding of course it’s literally the easiest and i just have a small brain i’m going up is what i’m gonna do i’m gonna do that a few times now let me just do that real quick in the darkness okay i’m suffocating there we go now we got all these

Different posts sticking up out of the ground the only issue is that well the uh the ancient city isn’t really square so i kind of gotta try to make a square out of this because the ancient city is like kind of shaped like a plus sign but

Like not really a very even plus sign it’s kind of catawampa if you ask me so here you know what real quick i’m going to adjust all to my impending doom but real quick i’m going to basically just square this off so that i know exactly

Where it is that i’m going to be digging down at because i don’t want to have to dig down in areas that i don’t need to so let’s just real quick there we go now we got everything completely outlined i made a border all the way around this

Whole entire thing which i’m pretty sure it’s about like 200 blocks wide by like 190 or something like that so it’s probably about 200 by 200 but you know because they’re a little bit you know deformed like the ancient city isn’t perfectly squared regardless though i am

Running into one issue and that is that well there’s this giant open area right here and this is kind of driving me insane because whenever you’re digging straight down on something so big like this you want to do it from its lowest point this lowest point is kind of a

River and also then it turns into this land and it’s yeah kind of funky looking regardless we need to head home real quick because we gotta gather some resources real quick for this build all right we should officially be good to go on all the stuff that we’re gonna

Need because i’m planning on building up a ton and i do mean a ton of flying tnt duping machines if you guys have been watching me for a while you would know that we mined out a 100 by 100 area now sure i did mine at least you know down

To that line uh before i threw in the towel and made some tnt flying machines um but regardless if you’re gonna dig a giant area you gotta do it with tnt flying machines that’s for show and this one is gonna be literally double the size of that 100 by 100 area but before

We go on and build up those machines in my last hardcore video i didn’t name anything in the kingdom after my subscribers which every single video i always name things in the kingdom after my subscribers if you guys comment down below when you guys hit that subscribe button which because i didn’t name

Anything in the last video i’m gonna do double in this video so we’re gonna be naming six things starting off with one of my tools which we’ll do the ax which sadie wants to be named after one of my tools so there you go sadie and up next

I need a villager without a name like you which you could be honey dipper and then we got toaster and for the next one i gotta fly really far away from home just so that i could be able to pick up a mushroom to take home then take that

Mushroom and put them inside the mushroom forest inside the tunnel of biomes and name it maya can’t really see it there you go and then the next one is gonna be the king now the king you can be named after a chicken as requested if this egg turns into a chicken

Okay fine you could just you could be the parent so there you go now you now your chicken and the last one i need is a turtle it’s not trying to take it all the way home because william chockett wants to be a turtle so there you go

Champ now get in there hang out with your axel i’ll wait to axolotls okay maybe i don’t push you in there i don’t know if axolotls attack uh turtles or not so i’m just gonna avoid that one regardless though if you guys want to be named in the kingdom as whatever you

Guys want comment down below hit that subscribe button also who wants to be the la the first delay in the kingdom comment down below let me know but now let’s get to mining out a really really big area oh my gosh and then one

Thing i need to do before we get to tnt mining though is that i want to try to make the land even because if you’ve ever tried to make like tnt flying machines you would know that like kind of the uneven land like there’s a mountain right there but then there’s

Not right here so if i like try to build it for this like shallower part it won’t really work because then tnt will start flying and breaking the machines and it’s kind of triggering um so regardless let me just build up a couple of beacons real fast and get some mining and now

All i pretty much need to do is just level these these giant mountains all right here we go I’m flying home right now just to be able to go uh heal up my tools at some farms and wow look at this hole i don’t know how i haven’t seen this before this is an impressive hole am i wrong or am i wrong hello look at this got a nice

Little tree right here too oh this is beautiful what does a person even do with a whole such glorious with such glory minecraft’s just so beautiful okay anyways uh all right as you can see we have completely leveled down two of these giant mountains that are kind of

Making everything uneven and that would kind of throw off all the tnt dupers and stuff like that now finally with all this land kind of flattened down we get started on actually building up some of these tnt dupers so here let’s just real quick tower up about like right here and

Now let’s just see if i can remember how to make this thing real quick okay and after building this thing two times because i have a small brain however we got this thing built so it’s a dude so it’s a so it’s a dual tnt flying duping machine

So when i flick this lever right here it should send off nice and when it sends off it’s not dropping tnt yet because that tnt needed to go back one block so now it’s primed and ready so then over here on the other side all right and

Here we go with this thing approaching it should stop because it senses the signal right here and now all i need to do is place down tnt right here and it’ll basically do the exact same thing once i go up there and flick the lever just like this but this time it should

Start striking tnt as it goes along oh no maybe i’d leave one that looks a little low okay now we’re good we’re golden okay so now it’s dropping tnt right there and then the right side on its way back we’ll start dropping tnt on this side i just want to make sure that

Nothing oh those trees don’t do it don’t do it to the trees i think we’re golden i just want tnt flying up and destroying the machine so i’m back over here i’m gonna flick this lever again so then it should stop once it gets here and then

We’re pretty much primed and ready and this thing’s gonna basically mine all the way down to i don’t know probably like 30 blocks down and then the tnt starts exploding and i need to move all the machines down again but either way we’re gonna get all the way down to an

Ancient city by using the tnt flying buffers all right and there we go now i can be able to flick this one and it goes back sending tnt on that side and then i’ll do vice versa on the way back so now we’re golden except ah man i hate

When that happens that’s why i didn’t want to do also is it start destroying the walls but the walls are gonna get shoot up either way and so now with my monstrosity built up i need to build more there we go now we got plenty of

Tnt dupers that should be able to mine up this entire thing pretty much all the way down all i need to do is like i said just rebuild these um we don’t gotta worry about that right now here let me let me prime each one of these things

And get all the tnt in the right spot starting off with one flies away perfectly fine seven nine eleven and thirteen so it’s all 13 machines that are now priming their tnt and then now on this side i need to place down the other piece of tnt and

Then we should be chilling which this one i actually just realized didn’t have dainty on it uh so that’s great however easy solution easy solution i just place down tnt and then it’ll just automatically do it itself but i heard tnt wait a second wait a second wait a second

Oh no i placed that in the wrong spot hold on quick solution all right there we go now we’re good okay just a minor issue already fixed now we got all the tnts primed and ready on each and every single one of these and all i need to do

Is flick the lever they start going back and they’re going to be dropping tnts now this is the part of the video where you guys just are gonna get some tasty tasty b-roll to enjoy all this tnt mining and all this hard work and then time put into building these things you

Better enjoy it and we have officially tnt mined all the way nah not quite there uh we’re pretty close we’re really really close actually only a tiny bit away i didn’t want to blow up any of the ancient city with tnt but also this is taking a lot longer

Than i thought because well the tnt machines were literally blowing themselves up often um a lot more often than i thought they would and uh this took so long that hey i even got a haircut now i figured i’ll probably play it safe for this last section since there’s not very

Much anyways and you know it’s like i said i don’t want to blow up like actual ancient city itself or anything so i’ll probably just set up a beacon and just casually mine this all away and have a good time hang out stay a while let’s get into that epic mining montage

Let’s just go ahead and uh Do do do do do do and officially we are done with mining officially all the way down to the ancient city and this is what it looks like it looks terrible but that’s also because i didn’t quite finish the corners all the way down to like the bottom level because my goal

Was to mainly just expose the ancient city for one that is for two i’ve been filming this video for days and i’m not too worried about making it pretty right now especially with the the fact that i got a upcoming video on transforming the entire ancient city which i’m actually

Curious guys comment down below because your guys’s input is always very needed on all of my videos what do you guys think that we should transform the ancient city into should we rebuild it to its roots should we transform it into something entirely different regardless

Now i have the freedom to be able to officially fly around if a shrieker wants to go ahead and spawn a warden guess who doesn’t care this guy because i can just easily fly away now come on spawn am i dare you shrieker you stupid shrieker does he not spawn if there’s

Daylight he’s just not spawning i just loophole this oh there he goes he’s literally right there easy easy now i could easily just fly away like i mean sure i still have blindness but if i’m going straight up it doesn’t matter hello oh my gosh i’m

In the clouds oh yeah the freedom i’m gonna be able to casually loot literally everything that’s exactly what i want to do real quick is just go through each and every single chest getting literally anything decent so we got sweeping edge two lead i could also mine up every

Single one of these shriekers and then i could be able to make like a warden farm later like able to roam around in here totally fine for free what is this like what what even i don’t know why there’s wool right here there’s just so many

Weird structures in this thing like i i just like like i can’t tell what’s a building and then like what’s just ruined hallway that like doesn’t make sense not diamond gear though honestly even the blindness isn’t even really that bad anymore just because there’s still just so much light i only wish

That night vision potions actually work oh here we go i’m gonna have to get rid of these shriekers oh a warden spawning right next to me whatever shall i do sir oh goodbye i could just freely leave now whenever i want to i also just need to

Figure out where all the good guest spots are in this thing oh my gosh another one really really bro i’m pretty sure i’ve already gotten a swift sneak book i honestly can’t even really remember um it’s been so long but just in case ideally i would like to find another one

Okay we got two more chests ooh notch apple swift sneak okay there we go swift sneak three okay there’s a warden right next maybe i’ll loot this a little faster music disc music disc oh he’s he’s coming over yeah he’s he’s smelling me out here real quick what i want to do

Before we continue looting is i want to throw swift sneak onto my pants oh yeah now you zoom you got the zoomies when you got swift sneak on that should help me loot this thing a little bit easier i just need to figure out like where because i know there’s like some

Redstone rooms and stuff like that it’s just a matter of finding them or even if this one has redstone rooms oh here we go that’s what i’m looking for i have no idea how any of the redstone works literally no clue i know that this stuff

Opens up a door that’s all i know this just seems so like where’s this going okay this goes up and in there oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh these are getting a little dicey down there and i don’t like that okay well now that there’s a warden

On the redstone room i might as well just keep looting elsewhere i mean this is the luxury i got now is literally fully dug up ancient city is it a bit ridiculous oh absolutely can i make endless farms without having to worry about wardens anymore oh absolutely regardless if you think

This video is stupid like i do uh smash that like button for me hit subscribe join the paul gg army comment down below if you guys want to join the the kingdom as well and also what’s your what’s your favorite secret about this place huh oh

My gosh i just found a secret right here
