I Find a Lush Cave in Minecraft 1.18 – Let’s Play Survival #2

Uh dandy could you not hello everyone and welcome to survival minecraft episode two i have yet to meet a minecraft mob that has more than two brain cells i think today should start off with a little bit of an adventure since this is a brand new

Update i want to take a look all around the perimeter of my little mountain grove here and see what’s all around me fortunately we can avoid some of the powdered snow with other boots unfortunately this is our only source of leather okay some leather boots for the

Journey we will be making them ping for the fashion statement of course dandy look i’m wearing your color dandy doesn’t seem to care about my fashion statement but that’s okay i think i look great now i spawned over in this direction so let’s start over here and get a nice

Survey of the land okay this side has a forest a tiger and our spawn over there now let’s just print along these frozen peaks and our new boots and see what we can’t find i’m a mountain climber it’s official this peak up here appears to be

The tallest in the entire grove this is definitely a very tall peak and hey look i can see a village over there hello nitwit these two villages are beautifully perched here along this mountain hey there’s a blacksmith down here let’s see what you’ve got oh obsidian wait that’s kind of good i

Love how it’s right on the edge of this forest look at this minecraft looks so incredibly different now guest with a lot of apples okay sure oh look it goes all the way down to the water wait i kind of love this village tons of caves along here too villages are always

Placed very precariously aren’t they as much as i love these villages i have to get back to my grove oh look at this this is powdered snow oh i’m light as a rabbit so that means because i have my leather boots on they’re protecting me from the

Powder but i can still sink in it which is kind of cool i’m having too much fun it’s night time i gotta go home er real quick last episode i asked you all to like episode one for me to release the seed and oh

Boy did you like the video so this is me letting you know how i created the world the seed that i put in was jess geminite is good which i will translate to numbers in the description down below if that’s what you need this seed should work on both bedrock and java edition

Because of seed parity they won’t be exactly the same but like close enough you should have a grove when you spawn into the world you should log into the same place i did two villages over there and then if we fly this way that’s our grove right there it’s really really

Really near spawn but just in case you need it here’s the coordinates i hope you enjoy this world as much as i do now as much as i love climbing a mountain every single time i go to leave my house i think there’s an easier way we come

Down here we have a little cave and this cave doesn’t really go anywhere productive like let me show you just kind of winds to here and then it stops but i was thinking if we continued it perhaps in like a sort of natural shape maybe it would poke out in a productive

Spot on the other side of the mountain only thing is i have no idea how long it’s going to take or where exactly we’re going to poke out hey there’s grass oh gosh where are we oh you know what this is kind of perfect this will be our little secret sort of

Tunnel we can cover it in vines maybe so that it’s not as easily visible from the ground then all i gotta do is widen the tunnel a little bit so it’s more comfortable to walk through and so that we don’t constantly hit our head tunnel is nearly

Complete look at this we can now run all the way through it i’ve placed some slabs here for our own comfort it still looks very cave-like which i like but i’ve placed a couple of leaves around it’s just a smooth transition straight out the other side and look at how

Magical it is when you come through here we definitely need more of these tunnels but this is our little secret one for now i think it’s gonna look even more magical with some wooden so i’m gonna chop some of these trees and see if that looks okay don’t worry though i’ll replant

I can hear so many cave noises while i’m here peacefully chopping trees hello you guys hear that there’s something here i get the feeling we have uh hostile guests under the snow so what i’m thinking on the inside here is we just have a couple of pillars like that and not too many

Just in a couple of places like maybe one here for example i think it’ll be really good to just like break up some of the gray now i’m gonna go do a quick investigation on what those hostile mob sounds were don’t mind me just uh investigating they’re very loud and it’s

All spiders let’s go see if i just break my way in here there should hopefully be a cave more iron don’t mind if i do oh oh my gosh um hi it’s literally right by the surface unfortunately no chests for us to claim but uh lots of spideys

Hello this seems overall like a fairly small cave which is good but gosh it was overrun with spiders like a spider infestation come on i’m fine okay this is pretty cool i’m glad we could get rid of the spider noises that makes me happy now i can chop trees in

Peace we also have the option to make an xp grinder there if we want to the time has come everyone for us to leave our little grove and venture out into the unknown i’m being a tad dramatic the main thing that we’ve explored so far in this update is well cliffs but there’s

Also caves if i remember correctly from episode 1 just in the forest across from this meadow here there was a big cave and i think i can actually see it from here time for a caving expedition everyone or distribution of the new update got a massive change and there’s

This picture that the developers of minecraft have released that kind of describes it lucky for us though there’s only one thing we need to pay attention to today and that is that diamonds are deep like very deep i just need to find a cave that goes extremely deep

Whoa look at this it’s incredible of course i’ll collect iron and things along the way but my main objective today is to get deep and explore new things oh i guess there’s only one way to go from here down whoa this is so wild let’s put our brave

Pants on and just whoop hello mr skeleton is this your home this is definitely up there for the coolest things i’ve ever seen in minecraft okay there’s a little bit of iron here but my main objective remains diamond so let’s head into the depths shall we

These caves are crazy look how big these stalactites and stalagmites are there we go this one goes deeper one of the better things about this update is we need way less torches now so i can just place one every now and then and mobs only spawn at light level zero oh

I didn’t expect that to actually work i just what i’ve just broken into the largest cave i think i’ve ever seen have you ever seen anything like this i kind of just want to look at it for a bit beautiful i i’m kind of forgetting that

I’m meant to be mining right now ouch it is spiky okay there’s a lot of mobs oh my gosh wait there’s so many mobs oh gosh oh gosh we’re just gonna dodge the mobs if we can whoa it’s a tunnel to a lush cave and we’re on deep slate level

This has been so fast it’s so beautiful let’s continue on through here oh my goodness that’s the sky i mean it’s quite obvious but sorry everything’s a little amazing right now but it’s the sky and look spore blossoms naturally in the world won’t lie the lava’s kind of ruining the effect

This lush cave oh my goodness look at the tropical fish spawning and there’s drip leaf as lily pads all around that bat just triggered a drip leaf is it bad that i kind of just want to like hang out here forever i don’t need diamonds i just need lush caves

Oh axolotls hello oh you’re killing things aren’t you oh my goodness we’ve got to take them home i’ve only got one bucket hold on come here come here come here the cutest predator oh oop yep all right i’ve decided i must adopt both of the axolotls yep you’re coming with me

So now we’ve got a gold one and a pink one okay it’s getting dark outside because i’ve been hanging out in the slush cave forever but i think it goes deeper so let’s head downwards blueberries are so magical gotta make our cave at home look like this

I’m just trying to find a path downwards here we go whoa oh my gosh how magical it is when you come through a tiny tunnel and it opens up into this wow oh i want that thank you so i know i entered for diamonds but so far i’ve got everything but

So in order to have the best chance at getting diamonds we need to get below that deep slate line so this cave is actually a really good example you see how it’s stone right here in the night and then it goes down to deep slate that’s what we want because in those

Deep slight layers is where you can find diamond you’ll find the most diamonds near bedrock but today we’re just going to cave it’s also a great idea to stock up on coal before going down because deep slate color is pretty rare oh my gosh there’s a mine shaft down there

That looks very dangerous okay now as beautiful as this is uh i need a way down oh okay oh please don’t blow up the lush cave it’s too pretty oh oh oh skeleton you’re making this real difficult [Laughter] okay good news though there’s some water here so

How about we go for a little sailing trip whoa oh gosh oh goodness okay you know what this is actually quite peaceful why am i sinking what hello okay okay it’s fine it’s fine just cave water look everyone it’s an aquifer and it has glow squids look how cool they look

This is incredible i’m swimming with the glow squids it’s perfect i never in a million years imagine minecraft would look like this i’m having so much fun caving caving used to be such a chore for me and now it’s genuinely a fun activity right despite all the fun i’m having i

Ought to continue okay we need to get down to that mine shaft down there and i think i see diamonds over there although i can’t see very well so it could just be glow like it look this is a geode right here and it’s a pretty good one look at this i’ll

Make room in my inventory for a little bit of amethyst we can always come back paper no creeping please this is level negative 35. what the heck and it goes even deeper look trying to keep my eyes peeled for diamonds but they’d be really hard to see down here

Oh look at that right there do you see that i think that is our very first diamond look there we go there it is i think it’s just the one that is pretty cool diamonds we did it we got one i am gonna need more than one um

It’s a good thing there’s a lot of cave left excuse me thank you oh hello look there’s diamonds right there on that pillar hop down here i can see that it’s only one but that’ll bring our total up to two there we go and i think i see another

One right over there it is look oh and there’s so many mobs oh boy oh boy oh boy okay hello everybody yeah hi hello um uh nice of you to join me here today i think i’m attracting every zombie in the vicinity okay now let’s go get that diamond whoa three creepers four

Creepers diamonds just very carefully oh it’s more than one oh my gosh okay let’s grab these oh my goodness we’re up to seven diamonds oh my gosh and this is level negative 43. so the deeper down we go the higher our chances get until you’re right near

Bedrock and then your chances are the highest i think caving should be enough for us today so i’m just gonna gather whatever other materials i can get in this area okay this is that mine shaft we were seeing earlier a little worried about cave spiders not so worried about skeletons oh dear hello

Oh i strongly dislike cave spiders oh it’s a chest golden apple all right and a bunch of torches i kind of needed those and beetroot seeds i love planting beetroot okay um i will leave those couple of things that’s okay whoa look at this there’s diamonds on both sides of me

It’s kind of crazy seeing the full deep slate walls in these mines they used to only be stone oh look at that that might be the prettiest geode i’ve ever seen in my life what look at it everyone we have got to build a base here this is so cool

The mobs are fighting each other i’m gonna just ignore that pretend it’s not happening look at this can you imagine having a base here i don’t even want to destroy it i think i’m going to leave it intact you could have a base here a little house in the lush cave

It’ll be perfect it’ll be like a secondary base for us i’m gonna take some of these shards so that we can make a spyglass okay uh my inventory is very full i have granted a lot of junk but also some stuff that’s not junk and i think i ought to go to

The surface with it you have a fish why do you have a fish so maybe if i just jump in this water stream it’ll take me to the surface oh this seems dangerous um oh nope that’s entirely water that’s i can’t breathe in there uh there’s no

Breath i need air i’m a human okay all right i think we’re almost back up the way we came but i can see daylight right there so maybe i don’t have to go the way we came hello it’s always when you’re on the way back with loot that

You want to see mobs the least jeez that is a hole that goes from the forest all the way down to diamond level you know that’d be really fun to fall down actually okay i’m gonna try to just dig my way up to the surface since i can see it up there oh

Here we are okay oh it’s a fox i just have to find my home which uh here’s the coordinates if anybody plans to play on the seed there’s the mountains look you know living in a mountain is actually extremely convenient because you can always see it

Here we are back into the safety of our home dandy i’ve brought home some riches we’re so rich dandy we’re so rich oh boy okay um you know what uh we might need a storage room okay so let’s talk storage room we have a basement it’s sort of i

Think we were to do a little clear out of this space it would make a great storage room you can even make it extra cool by digging it way down and expanding into the hillside my iron tools are in really rough shape though you know what i have enough diamonds for

Enchanting and i only need one more obsidian and i should be able to get leather and sugar cane maybe if we play our cards right we could get some starter enchants the only thing is we need one more piece of obsidian when i was walking back earlier i saw a ruined

Nether portal but i never went there so i’m wondering now if there was any obsidian for us do you see it it’s just right there here we are oh wait this one can actually be finished and it has two gold blocks look it just needs some obsidian unfortunately no obsidian in

The chest but depth strider cursive binding oh gosh i mean fair enough i’ll take these things it’s okay though i came prepared for this moment i brought three extra diamonds to make a diamond pickaxe and then we’ll just extract one of these there we go i’ll be taking that gold as

Well all the materials have been acquired now unfortunately i’m not gonna have enough books for this but it’s nice to have anyways and we should be able to enchant a couple of our next tools with level one engine and we’ll just plop that in the corner for now i think we’ll

Have a fancy area for enchanting eventually but that’ll do for now i know a lot of people skip over the enchanting iron tools or even the level 1 thing but if you know me then you know i love the early game and if you’ve only got a few diamonds

Then doing this is a really good way to get your tools to go a little further or a little faster in our case right let’s dig at a storage room okay i’ve brought the basement down quite a bit but there’s a reason i want this to have a window in it so i’ve

Brought it low enough that it’s below our spiral staircase that’s outside and in theory if we dig that way we’ll have a window but i have to go get a new pickaxe so like i was saying right through here if a window now this is a good storage room

View i think hello endermen what you doing so the only thing to do now is to widen out the room down here this should be a great storage room it’s just right below my house and i’ve even included room for a bonus room i don’t know what i’ll put there but it’s a

Bonus room and this is the andy’s room and mine technically all i gotta do now is chop a bit of wood so that i have some for all the chests okay now as far as chests go i think we’ll just sort of line them up like

That maybe in sections of three and then we’ll do a pillar just to break it up that should be about enough chest eventually once we get a light block i think we’ll do the entire backing out of like streamlight or glowstone or something for now it’s gonna have to be awkwardly placed

Torches i love decorating a storage room i don’t know what it is about it but the vibes are just so good storage room decor complete look i used some stuff from the lush cave and i absolutely love it it’s such a cozy vibe in here and we

Have tons of storage i haven’t filled all of these out yet as you can see they’re empty but there’s lots of space here for us in the early game and probably even in the late game to store everything that we need to build up this growth now very importantly i also want

To work on this area right here having a proper window i don’t think it needs to be anything particularly fancy just like a little curved window yeah like so only thing is we need some glass for the window and i don’t think i’ve seen any sand

So it’s back through the tunnel to see if we can find any sand sand acquired the process of smelting all this sand has given me an idea what if we made our first auto furnace it can go in our spare room right here kind of a funny thing for a spare room

But i like it so we just put the furnace there and we have it coming out into that and then up top on top of it we do the input and then we can put a fuel one too but right now i don’t have that much

Fuel so i’m just gonna do that so basically when i have something to smelt in bulk like this copper i can put it in here it’ll automatically funnel in there and then it’ll automatically output to this chest perfect it’s not much but it’s a start and then down here in this

Window i’m just gonna use full glass blocks yeah just like that then it’s just a matter of decorating the frame and we’ve got this beautiful view of the grove from my storage room and you know what we can do with the copper can use it to make our very first spyglass

Dandy i’ve got a spyglass and since i built a watchtower in episode one this is perfect oh my gosh i can spy on everybody look at that look at all those auras over there oh my gosh yep i could get used to this the more

Time that i spend in this world the more amazing ideas i have for everything i have so many thoughts about how we can build up this grove more farming more tunnels an area for enchants some builds to go around here would be absolutely magical i’m thinking something fantasy

For sure we’re pushing through the early game in a fairly good rate so i think next episode it’s finally time to start building up a new project i’m extremely excited to see where this world goes and i hope that you are too thank you so much for watching this series i’ll see

You in the next one bye
