I Speedran Building a Mega Base in Minecraft!

Now there’s lots of different ways to speed run Minecraft which take lots of skill and practice so obviously I’m going to ignore all of those and come up with my own category that’s right I’m going to set the world first Minecraft Mega base but quick speed run the title

Is a work in progress I’m going to be building in megabase as quick as I possibly can but what defines a megabase is this a megabase what about this surely this is yeah so I’m going to define a mega base as a build that uses over 10 000 blocks now that doesn’t mean

You can just Place ten thousand blocks of dirt and call it done that’s not a megabase that’s dirt for this challenge the bass has to look good I know this is subjective but hey this whole video is stupid so just go along with it and why don’t you subscribe whilst you’re here too

So obviously we’re going to have to strategize a bit let’s start with what blocks to use I first followed cobblestone as it’s literally everywhere but I’d have to get some decent tools to mine a lot of it which is going to cost valuable time I then thought of dirt

Because it’s even more common than Cobblestone but let’s be real that would be hideous so I’ve decided on planks planks are great as you Chuck one piece of wood and you get four planks which could cut out time Gathering materials a lot some planks are easier to get than

Others though giant Spruce and Darko trees are way easy to farm than those stupid mango trees gosh I hate you so much but I love the color of your wood next up is the seed I don’t want to have to travel far so I’m going to randomly

Search through seeds until I find one with some good nearby biomes and a good place to build so off I set on the long treacherous journey of finding a seed and oh I found one now there’s a few things that made me choose this seed here the first thing being that planes

Buying with those cherry trees off in the distance we also have a shipwreck really close by so I made a boat instantly went and found the Shipwreck got some of the goodies like the iron and the emeralds and then also got the buried treasure map went searching for

The Bowie treasure map also got this respiration helmet not that it’s any use really now although you see the timer count in the top right just ignore that because uh it broke a bit later on but you can see we’re making ourselves an iron shovel got myself that buried

Treasure hoping for free diamonds but unfortunately we only got two so not enough to make a diamond ax but this is the area we’re going to be building our Mega base on now step two is survival Minecraft but what does that mean it means we’re playing Survival Minecraft so obviously

To survive for a while I’m gonna need things like food some tools a bed probably some armor but most importantly food side note the other time we reset when I closed the world so we have the one above our hot bar now but we’re going to add on an

Extra five minutes at the end so after exploring the area a bit I was delighted to find some giant spruce trees plus some obsidian in this chest here as we are going to be going to the nether I also found a village just round the corner and firstly it was a spruce

Village but it had some Spruce saplings some wheat and some other crops we can use I killed the Iron Golem to save myself going mining and got pretty lucky with four iron of which I used them to craft a bucket back at my little base I’m setting up here I planted some of

The saplings I got to farm in the future collected some Stone and some coal from a nearby cave I then sets off on another little Adventure where I managed to stumble across another Village I made myself a stone hoe so I could collect all the hay bales and whilst we’re

Stealing stuff I also stole some water and killed their iron golem this time for five iron I used some of the Spruce Wood I’d already gathered to craft some fences made a quick pen and then lured some cows home I then got working on a little bit of farm to grow some weight

Collected some sugarcane from the nearby River and made a little sugarcane farm as well so that should be food sorted let’s head out to the ocean where I spotted a dark oak forest which I’ll come back to later together some materials I also got myself some more

Obsidian I found some sugarcane and also a shipwreck which had a diamond in it giving us free diamonds it also had a buried treasure map and I got the treasure and there was no diamond unfortunately but we did get a decent amount of iron which is good for making

More tools I then explored around a little bit more looking for more treasure but only found some gold boots and finally some coal and a fishing rod in this chest and then I headed home with all my goodies and crafted myself a diamond ax now step three is the Nether and I know

What you’re thinking why well the never has trees too and I want to see which biome I spawned by before I design this base so I set up to that ruined portal I found earlier because it is fixable apart from this one block of crying obsidian which took 40 seconds to mine

With my iron pickaxe but we did it however as you saw I forgot my flint and Steels had to go back and I also made a shield and we’ve spawned in a wart biome but look there’s some warped fungus through there now we have our nearby materials it’s

Time to design the base so here’s where we come to our creative world and use some world edit to design this base now we have very limited materials so this might not look as good as it possibly could but we’re gonna try our best and here it is behind me except it’s

Blurred and you have no idea what it looks like and also you probably can see that I used the Warped wood into the Crimson wood I tried the Crimson okay it just didn’t look good it didn’t look good so we’re gonna make the adventure to the Warped Forest it may take longer

And I know this is a speed drone I’m sorry it’s material Gathering time baby now while we sail to the dark oak forest let’s have a look at all the materials I need to gather wow that’s a lot now I wanted to get stuck in the dark oak wood first because

The biome is the furthest away so I’m always gonna get some dark oak saplings and bring them home so I can grow some trees back home I then head off towards the nether with a decent amount of blocks in my inventory as we’re going to head to that warped forest and I was

Bridging up with some dirt when I heard a gas Fireball I turned around to shoot it back but because of that stupid never wrecking the way it knocked me into the lava and I died I tried to save my diamond ax by throwing it but nope every

Single item was gone at this point I was very tempted to reset my plan had just gone to Pieces but I decided nope let’s improvise let’s change up the plan so I made myself some fresh new iron tools plus an iron chest plate killed a horse out of frustration but only one don’t

Worry that one definitely didn’t die I then went and found some more shipwrecks which unfortunately had a lot of emeralds but I found some buried treasure with one Diamond some other stuff in this portal and two more diamonds in this other buried treasure feeling happy I had all the stuff I

Needed to continue collecting these materials I headed home myself a diamond ax and also use the TNT from the buried treasure to blow up some trees this was really good for getting some dirt and also some logs and some saplings I’ve seen speedrunners do this and they

Probably do it a lot more efficiently and quicker than me but it worked for what we needed okay and we managed to get a decent amount of stuff I then got collecting the Big Trees those are the spruce and the dark oak starting with the spruce of course as you can see here

We got ourselves a load of logs not actually as many as we need so I planted some more saplings at home to chop down later I also converted the dark oak logs into dark oak planks and started putting in the chest as we know exactly how many

Of these we need as we did the dark oak slabs made myself a little Hopper system here with a composter to get myself some bone Mill I then headed off into this direction over here to the Oak Forest to chop down a load of oak trees I also

Chopped down all the birch trees as well as we will be needing Birchwood at some point as you can see we got a decent amount and we must get all the oak plaques we needed and this is where we’re decorating in the plan we’re gonna go for cherry trees instead of warped

Wood now as they are really close by and and yeah this is the end of the diamond ax unfortunately this was too much so I had to switch to iron axes from here and out but luckily we’ve got the majority of the wood we need so that diamond ax

Came in handy I chopped down some cherry trees for the Cherry planks stairs and also fences and slabs these trees are a bit more Awkward to chop than the warp trees but you know what they’re nearby and I’m not really gonna die in the Overworld there am I I also got myself a

Load of birch wood and we have all the birch wood we need now which is lovely made myself some bird strap doors slabs and stairs and stuff thread up my cows before chopping down some dark oak wood spent a long time jumping dark out whether it’s one of the main materials

I’m using especially those stairs they’re hard to get so are the spruce stairs but we got all we needed we also got some more Spruce Wood to do the trap doors added some more dark oak wood for more trapdoors of dark oak this time I

Then found up my sugar cane as we’ll be using it in a little while I made myself some Oak slabs added them to our ever-growing collection of materials plus I went and got some more Oak because we needed some Oak trap doors breaking my axes of course chopping more

Wood just lots of wood chopping lots of trap doors some composters as well yeah we’re really getting creative with the weird blocks we’re using out here I then murdered all of my cows we’ve been bringing them up for a while but it’s time to kill them so we can get their

Lever but also their meat which we got cooking in the furnace over here I then made myself a load of books which we turned into bookshelves but we ran out of cows and Leather So I went and found some nearby animals to kill and the only

Ones I could find were horses but we got what we need to make the lecterns and with that we have got all of the wooden materials we need but there are a few other things we need to get and those are some Moss which is why I made that

Bone Mill maker earlier some sand which is very slow to gather with an iron shovel a bit of gravel which is also very slow together some diorite but not that much just 12 blocks some Cobblestone walls and we put the sand and gravel to use to make some blue and

Red concrete powder I then smelted some glass which I converted into blue glass then panes of blue glass and finally I went and got some Cobblestone and four hours and 17 minutes into the speed run we have everything we need which means I’m about to get cut off as I did

My favorite step that’s right build the base let’s start off by placing down an outline now this is going to look really weird but trust me we need to place these blocks I’ll show you why later but for now let’s grab some of these materials and get building they’re

Roughly four and a half hours Gathering materials how long is it going to take to build the final base well you’re about to find out as we’re building away right now you can see I had to avoid some pillages at some points which were quite annoying uh we reached the five

Hour mark and we were even done with the main structure which is which is is quite slow but one of the things I found was taking a lot of time was I would have to go down to my chest to get more materials which without elytra takes

Quite a bit longer also this happened which was really fun I just fell off and died this happened a few times a lot of the times I was able to clutch it not that time though and then I was you know working on this bit here and I just fell

Through this whole died again this time though I didn’t set my spawn so I had to go back and do the boat of Shame and then the Run of Shame before getting all my stuff and start building again but we didn’t die after that point I’m happy to

Say I also didn’t keep my bed in my inventory and left it on the ground near where I was building in case I did die again but we’ve reached the seven hour mark here this is taking a lot longer to build than I thought it was going to to

Be honest I used a lot of awkward block patterns to add detail which normally you just place a lot of blocks in the road be really quick but because I’m using loads of different blocks here it was a bit trickier also the different heights like I had to come down to this

Tower here which we reached at the eight hour mark by the way I was using water now to get up because I found that a bit quicker than building a dirt step case I did finish off this part of the build here and then we added on another Tower

As well the final Tower of this massive Mega build but how long has it taken us well we’re gonna head in game to find out as we place the final blocks and only a couple more to add okay that that and that and that’s done I’m gonna pause the time we

We finished building the base is built whatever the time is plus five minutes from earlier is our final time under nine hours oh my gosh whoa and here it is the final product of the mega base built in less than nine hours here’s the exact time that I’m gonna say right now

Seeing as before I did this and it took me 17 hours I think that’s pretty good the pink roof is not really how exactly I wanted it I wanted the Warped roof uh but you know what it’s okay it’s different I kind of wish I changed these

Concrete powder colors now I forgot to do that so it doesn’t really go with the pink roof but it’s it’s a mega base this thing is Big obviously we haven’t decorated the interior but you can see the size of it in here this is not small

By any means I’m happy with it and I have to say the challenge is complete I definitely think I can beat this time in the future obviously it’s a long time to invest into any speed run but maybe I’ll do it again you’ve got any ideas on how

I can speed up in the comments and let me know thank you so much for watching good bye
