I made a Swamp Update for Minecraft…

I know what you’re thinking didn’t you just update swamps in minecraft like a couple of weeks ago and the answer is yes but this is actually different we updated swamps entirely without mods let me explain what you’re about to see is a project a year in the making a project that’s

Managed to push the boundaries of what was previously thought possible in minecraft the mobs the blocks even the world generation has all been custom made for origin realms a minecraft server i’ve been heavily involved with that uses absolutely no mods no seriously you can join today

And see everything i’m about to show you with nothing more than good old vanilla minecraft okay with that being said let’s get started i am incredibly excited to show you this but first i’ve got to do something welcome to origin realms my friends if we’re gonna do this

We’re gonna have to do this in style that’s right with cosmetics like i said we’re covering swamps today so that means we need to blend in in order to survive so that’s why we are going to dress up just like a witch because after all

We’re gonna need a blend in so uh well that’s the wrong tool let me just grab the witch broom there we go look at snazzy if i do say so myself look at me i think we’re ready now let’s do this welcome to the swamp my friends now oh no that’s

Not good i don’t have any single sword oh geez that’ll do that’ll do a little bit of platinum never hurt nobody all right oh great all right let’s try that again i think we’re ready this time no sudden creepers anywhere i think we’re good and we’re finally prepared okay

So welcome my friends to the new and improved swamp biome for the most part as you could see it looks very similar to an ordinary minecraft swamp and that’s because apart from adding a couple new blocks and new decorations all over the place we didn’t really want to get rid of the

Currently existing swamp we just wanted to add on top of it so that’s why we have officially added the mangrove forest into the game and as you can see we’re getting a little bit closer it’s covered in absolutely massive trees with very very amazing generation this is all procedurally generated meaning each tree

Is going to be different and as you can see the roots are very unique to anything we currently have in the game i mean look at this this is awesome but of course it gets even swampier than that i mean down to the trees even the structures have been updated

But of course we’ll check that out in a moment as far as the generation goes it’s not even just the trees we’ve even added new types of generations and new mobs as you can see but again we’ll get to that here in a moment you could see that the water essentially

Carves into the land to create these really really cool cliffs i mean as a builder this is very cool generation i could definitely see the swamp being a little bit closer to something i would want to build in with this type of generation now i don’t

Want to leave any stone unturned so to answer any questions you may have yes this is actually a new log entirely we have actually added a new set of blocks all around the mangrove trees so as you can see here i will get the mangrove

Log there we go in the water let’s grab that hopefully no creepers around we kind of we’re having a little bit of bad luck today but as you can see i have gotten myself a mangrove log you can use this for building and all sorts of really cool stuff

It’s amazing generation is one thing but a biome is not a biome without content and that is why we have added three new mobs to the swamp biome no no no no no yes this is a crocodile i should have been hiding in a tree because they are actually incredibly

Fast and incredibly powerful okay well crocodiles everyone crocodiles havoc yes i am in creative mode by the way i just these guys are a little too difficult for me crocodiles spawn essentially in the swamp and mangrove biomes as you could see here and they are incredibly defensive of their land

They are very dangerous and definitely do pack a punch just as you would expect now as far as when they actually die they are gonna drop crocodile teeth as you could see here or more specifically a crocodile tooth and what we’re currently working on meaning unfortunately it’s not on the server

Exactly yet is actually a spike trap so you can actually use the crocodile tooth to create a spike trap which is amazing and very painful just as you would expect and now it’s time to focus on the frogs if you’ve been watching this channel for a

While then you know we are absolutely a fan of frogs here on this channel because they are amazing i just recently made a frog mod and it was great but would you believe that on a minecraft server with no mods we actually made frogs even better or i guess i should say smarter

Now what this frog is essentially trying to do is find a lily pad to land on well in this case it’s trying to swim into dangerous territory right into the crocodile and now thanks to the frog the crocodile is really aware of me oh geez okay well let’s handle this shall we

There we go that might be a little bit better okay he’s having a little bit of a hard time finding a lily pad at the moment but it’s okay i can help oh frogs will do a couple of things and as you see they drop a raw frog leg which can be cooked

But as you could see here the frog was sitting on the lily pad and that’s because they will actually find a lily pad to sit on and jump between them it’s actually really cool unfortunately it doesn’t seem like we’re gonna really be able to capture that

Because it seems to be kind of on its own mission at the moment but trust me it’s really cool but it actually doesn’t even stop there because another mob we’ve added is a dragonfly as well as even a butterfly and well let me just show you there’s

The dragonfly as you can see a little hard to see because they kind of fly around really really quickly but they definitely bring a lot of life and atmosphere into the biome and the frogs love them i mean they love them it’s kind of difficult because

As you would imagine they have to fly in the perfect spot but this frog is currently trying to get this dragonfly because they actually do eat bugs that includes butterflies of course the dragonflies and any future bug type mobs that we add all right we’ve got the

Butterfly maybe the froggy will want the butterfly instead i think he’s just going to chill out on a lily pad they make it this a little difficult there friend come on nope okay you trust me i believe in you i know you could do it eat the butterfly oh

There he goes okay he’s got the butterfly he’s eaten the butterfly and the butterfly escaped i didn’t say frogs were smarter did i i mean they’re cool they’re amazing they do a lot as you can see okay let’s just uh yeah all right frog legs so we’re

Just gonna enjoy the frog legs here you can you can have that all joking aside about the different mobs it’s honestly stunning how amazing the atmosphere of these biomes truly are because as you can see i’m assuming a frog just to eat this dragonfly over here i’m gonna be very upset

But as you can see the atmosphere is just amazing the fallen leaves the flying mobs the frogs the crocodiles it’s really amazing and it really brings the swamp to life and makes this a biome that’s definitely dangerous but also very curious it makes you want to explore and for that reason

I love it but now i know you’re ready for the witch hut because yes we have updated it but not only that we’ve added more witch huts to find and even new loot to find in the witch huts ah yes my beauty i’m very proud of this particular structure because i

Built it and it’s amazing but of course with you know i couldn’t have done it without any of the other team especially ender who made all of the assets by the way very talented artist and we’re very lucky to have him on the team of course but as you could see here

This is a new and improved witch hut but it’s actually a base level witch hut now i’ve gotten rid of the witches because well let’s face it i’m on four hearts and i’m already not a great player but it’s absolutely amazing and uh i may have i may have broken that this

Place is definitely more fit for a witch it’s a little bit more lived-in and feels more natural to witches and of course the loot is amazing and i know all of this will probably mean nothing to you but that’s okay we’ve even got loot in here which actually features

A new type of potion but i’ll explain that here in just a moment for now i want to see if i can find the even cooler witch hut and there it is that is the witch hut i have been looking for for i feel like forever but it’s okay

Because at least the mangrove is beautiful as you can see here this is an absolute monstrosity of a witch hut it is three stories tall and yes it is very very very rare to find but it looks so spectacular i’m incredibly proud of how this turned out because i love to build

But unfortunately with the videos that i do i don’t really get to build too often so i was really able to practice with that and do that exactly in this case but as you can see here this thing is wild there’s really no set floor plan it’s just kind of two

Three buildings all stacked on top of each other and it is really really cool but it’s also got a lot of really interesting loot so as you could see we’ve got a chest there i need to find a way to get on top of this thing because i have nothing

Which i should have been more prepared for okay let’s let’s gather some resources and then we get a little bit of mud while we’re at it new blocks seriously the amount of new blocks we’ve got on the server is absolutely insane but it’s awesome so we’ve got mud and dried mud and now

We should be ready to go and there we go we are here so as you can see we have the chest over there we’ve also got a new eggplant block seriously a lot of content but i don’t have to tell you that i’m sure that’s exactly what you would have expected

Another chest around here unfortunately we didn’t get too lucky there and uh again i’ve taken the witches away i yeah just you know and of course we got more of these bewitched potions again i’ll explain that here in just a moment and then last but not least we’ve

Got the best chest which is up here at the top we’ve got rubies we’ve got platinum all sorts of amazing stuff so this bewitched potion is really really cool because this is a potion that only witches can brew as you would expect it’s been bewitched it’s essentially a product of dark

Magic that allowed them to create potions that you normally wouldn’t be able to create with a brewing stand that being something like haste you can even find speed for in this case we’ve got blindness we’ve got levitation some of them can be bad but obviously

Some of them depending on how you use it could be spectacular like for example now that we’ve got levitation we can get away for the crocodiles or fly with the dragonflies we can be at one with nature and truly feel like we are the best we can be oh and sometimes

It doesn’t turn out that way so as a final recap because there has been kind of a lot i feel like we’ve been all over the place we’ve got not only three new types of mobs but also an entire set of new blocks new structures and new world generation to come with it

In my opinion this is exactly how a biome update should be we should see not only new blocks and like i said new generation but new content all around it sure the witch huts are still witch huts and we’ve had witch huts but now they actually offer unique loot

Like the bewitch potions and then of course you’ve got the crocodile tooth for the spike trap the frog legs for food and of course even new potion types in the future but also all kinds of new mangrove related blocks i mean the possibilities really are endless when it comes to updating biomes in

Minecraft i mean we’ve even done an autumn forest as you can see here there’s just so many things we plan to do and so much room for it in minecraft i’m really really excited about this so just look at this these frogs just chill it out

And as you can see they actually kind of do the little rivet thing their mouth blows up it’s hilarious i love it and then the butterflies the dragonflies uh dead squid it all just comes together um and uh well we’ve got the oh geez i’ll just ignore that act like that didn’t happen

So that’s essentially gonna do it for that this is the origin realms mangrove swamp update well would you look at that you made it to the end of yet again another video or you skipped ahead in the video and you aren’t supposed to be here unacceptable but it’s okay either way i

Appreciate that you’re here because if you look to the left i’ve got a video where we added magnets to minecraft and to the right you can see how i gave copper or an update for minecraft there’s so many videos that you could be watching right now it’s crazy

All right that’s gonna do it for today i’ll see you over there on that next video that i just told you about wink wink and uh my name has been system z you’ve been awesome and i’ll see you in the next one thanks for watching
