I Put a Spider On My Base

After 10 years in my minecraft super flat survival world today i’m finally gonna finish my megabase this project took an insane amount of time and it’s one of my biggest builds ever was it worth it watch the end and let me know so may 7th was the 10th birthday of the

World but it was hard to celebrate because that means i’ve been procrastinating on this for a decade since 2012 i’ve been wanting to build a massive exciting centerpiece to the world but i just never knew what to build until i posted this video and the comments all agreed that a giant spider

Would be perfect that’s because we have this awesome spider cathedral where they worship spiders but i’ve only ever built one organic structure ever this statue of neptune from 2014. what if i just can’t pull this off and i ruin my world forever but there’s only one way to find

Out so we’re kicking things off with a giant temple that the spider’s gonna sit on top of i’m confident i can design something nice but it’s going to take a crazy amount of resources so to see exactly what we’re going to need i’m going to lay out the gradient i want to

Use for one of these pillars and here is our first pillar done this gradient actually came out pretty smooth randomizing the blocks is a lot harder than it looks so here are the 10 blocks we’re using and there’s a few issues i want to solve with the resource

Gathering process that’s going to make this go a lot faster because this project is going to take an insane amount of time let’s start with concrete i want to build a little shed that helps me convert concrete powder to concrete because after building that giant creeper i’m sick of converting it by

Hand i need a more permanent solution and over here by our new terracotta building is the perfect spot and go and there we go i think this came out kind of cute for the palette i used mostly spruce wood and dark oak wood to match the bee farm next door and the red

Terracotta and concrete powder and the roof gave it that cozy shed feeling so the way this thing works is you put the concrete powder in your off hand you can load up the dropper with extra concrete powder and then i think you kind of just hold down both mouse buttons

Wow this is so much faster than how i’ve been doing it this thing’s gonna come in so handy for this project so next up on our list of things to take care of is the andesite and the dioray andesite is actually crafted using diorite and cobblestone and diorite is crafted using

Cobblestone and quartz so before i do anything i’m gonna go to the nether and collect a whole bunch of quartz All right so we have a ton of quartz now and while i was in the nether i also grabbed some warp stems which we’re gonna need for the roof but the quartz was only half the battle stone bricks and a site and these diorite blocks are all gonna require a lot of cobblestone

And stone i get my stone from this simple farm but i have to be careful that i don’t accidentally break my pickaxe and i can fill this cobblestone farm with iron picks so that they keep cycling and refilling my inventory whenever one breaks but it still

Requires my player to be mining so it’s not fully automatic but we’ve got this efficient tnt blast chamber attached to our wood farm all we have to do is hook this thing up to a cobblestone generator and we can fully automatically mine stone well guys it’s done you press this

Lever the cobblestone starts getting pushed down into the machine it forms a great big block and eventually it all gets blown up like that and as you can see the items just make their way down into these chests it’s getting pretty late so let’s afk overnight and see how

Much cobble we get the next day all right let’s see what we got oh that’s what i’m talking about baby i’m so glad we got this done so that brings us to the final resource on our list here mushroom stems and unfortunately this one is not only the

Hardest to get but the hardest to fix currently when i want mushroom stems i have to grow a whole mushroom and then mine the stem out so we need to build a highly specialized mushroom stem farm and since this area of my world is sort of becoming the industrial district i

Want to put it in this little nook right here now i found this amazing design by someone named alex baumberg and alex was kind enough to provide a material list with the world download so back here in my flat world i gathered everything we need to build this thing but starting a

Big redstone project like this is a little bit daunting we won’t actually need the mushroom stems until about halfway up our pillars so let’s uh let’s get halfway All right we’re about halfway done with the circle and honestly once you get into the swing of things it’s not so bad you can kind of look at all the other pillars and just guesstimate when you need to make the switch to another color most of it is just going by whatever

Feels right Well we did it we’re halfway up and this looks amazing so far i’m so excited to see how it’s gonna look when it’s done it’s great motivation to build our mushroom farm so we can finish this off so enough delay let’s get started all right guys bit of an update here

We’re about halfway through this thing and i gotta be honest i have no idea if i’m building this right or not i feel like i must have missed something here and there but i’m doing my best to just go through it really slow block by block

And try and get it all right and it’s finally working guys this took me so long to get working it wasn’t working and i had to actually download light matica lightmatica lets you overlay a schematic into your world which highlights the blocks that you placed wrong and that allowed me to notice a

Few things i had missed but it’s working now so let me give you a demonstration you come in here you flip the lever i got mushrooms in my off hand you spam right click and hold left click and it ends up breaking the mushroom as soon as

It grows and then a piston chain pushes the extra blocks down towards you and as soon as you can plant another one you plant it it really is a genius design and as you can see it works pretty well but there is one catch and it’s a kicker

This thing requires you to feed it axes if you want an afk bone meal and red mushrooms and in order to get a bunch of red mushrooms to stock the farm with i kind of need to farm them first and the way i get mushrooms is by growing them and then

Mining them with an axe and so in the process of getting the red mushrooms for the stem farm i ended up farming a bunch of stems but we’re going to be using mushroom stems a whole lot more in this world so it was worth it but for now i

Just want to get back to work on these pillars [Applause] [Applause] This looks so insane but we’re not done yet adding little archways between them will really tie this all together Whoa this is sweet We gotta fill in these gaps the main highlight color on this part is blue so we’re going to use blue up here as well This came out so awesome this striped gradient is sick let’s go see how it looks from far away oh it’s super subtle but i love the color it adds So the next step is putting on the roof it’s going to be a giant dome made out of warped wood and after we build it we can go back through and texture it this is probably gonna take forever This thing came out amazing i’m so happy with it the way it transforms the way the whole city looks from like anywhere you stand is just crazy while building the roof i realized that a regular dome would be way too boring so i added this

Little hat on top but just like we did over at our mob hotel i used like an onion shaped dome for the roof and i’m actually really happy with how the little decoration on top came out it’s end rods coming out from a skeleton head but i was pretty confident from the

Start that i could make the temple look really great the real question is how the heck i am going to pull off a spider on top but before we get to that i just want to do a little bit of texturing on this thing because for a roof this big

All warped wood would just be way too boring i’ve been playing a lot with gradients in creative mode and i picked out a little palette that i think would look really great on this route so i gathered up a bunch of resources and i’m just gonna start placing blocks i have

No idea how this is gonna look so i spent about an hour doing this texturing and i’m so happy with how it came out i really wasn’t sure if it would look too weird or not but it just makes the whole build so much more weather looking and

Interesting to look at and the texturing is done i have been working on this for like 12 hours straight with very few breaks but i managed to get it to a place i’m pretty happy with by the way guys i managed to get a ton more villagers into our terra cotta trading

Hall at this point we’ve got over half the villagers we need so i’m just going to keep chipping away at it off camera but without further ado i present to you the finished roof ah even though this took an insane amount of time i think it was very worth it it

Might be a little busy for some people’s taste but keep in mind there’s gonna be a giant spider on here that’s gonna really draw your attention in i really wanted to play a lot with the color on this and i’m just very pleased with how it came out the texturing also helps

With these weird patterns you tend to get when building a sphere shape in minecraft with all the different colors your eyes don’t really see all these ugly circles sticking out but guys it’s now time for the hardest part of the video it’s time to put an end to 10

Years of procrastination and finish this base let’s put a giant spider on this thing alright guys i messed around in a creative copy of the world for about an hour before i realized that you can’t do any organics without world edit pretty much every tutorial i looked at in terms

Of doing organics had world edit as part of the process and so i downloaded it and i’m trying to learn how to use it right now light mattica and world edit in one episode this has been a learning experience for me but i’m just getting the hang of it obviously this looks

Pretty terrible at the moment so i’m gonna mess around with it for several hours and we’ll see how far we get well guys the design for the spider i think is ready to go but first i just want to give a quick shout out to my new patrons maxwell evarts spookies christ

Is risen and kane hawkins i can’t tell you guys how much the support means to me but let’s not delay time to build this spider Atop to our megabase after 10 years what a journey this has been i’m so happy with how the spider came out i love how his legs are sort of coming through the top here and the shape of his little spider butt came out perfect there’s actually a bunch of space inside of here

So let me know in the comments if you have any ideas what we can put inside of this spider i just love how much this adds to the lore of the world with the spider church just having a direct view to this giant spider statue now of

Course on the inside there’s a lot more work i want to do but it’s gonna have to wait till another episode if you guys want a world download of my world you can find it on my patreon for the 10 tier or you can always wait for the next

World tour because i always give a world download for free that’s it for this episode guys thanks for watching
