I Spent Hours Building this Hardcore Minecraft Castle!

Welcome back one and all two Hardcore Minecraft I’m smallishbeans and I’m terrible at hardcon Minecraft but we’ve made it so far to episode three which doesn’t sound like a lot I know but we’ve survived 40 hours and 225 days and we’ve done a lot of stuff already including our starter base here the

Bridge you just saw and you guessed it we are definitely not gonna slow down today that’s right today we’re going to be working on our biggest project yet even bigger than this whole village and train down here but first we’re gonna say hi to muddy

Good and also check on the cactus fan we built last time oh there’s cacti in there now over here is a lovely bit of space but I don’t like space it is empty and deserves to have something built on it which is what we’re going to be doing

Today and in the thing we’re building on this space we’re going to be putting our librarian villagers because I desperately need mending however because I’m stubborn I refuse to get mending till at least some of the building is complete but there are other ways to improve my tool durability so that’s

Right all aboard the never express baby first though we shared all our sheep to get some World got some planks as well and we headed into The Nether I started digging down straight from our portal and nearly fell in this hole but luckily didn’t so I’m still alive which is good

I crafted some beds and I was very scared that apprehensive as you can see here but it was actually quite easy and we found our first never right straight after getting the hot tourist destinations and then I found some more right now next to it and then I found

Some more and some more and we just got mining using all the beds up until we had 17 ancient debris not bad let’s go home and smell that and let’s get some gold and make those never right ingots I decided to do my pickaxe which I gave

The cringiest name in the world I’m so sorry but hey added that durability will be needing a lot later for collecting materials I also did my chest pain my legs and an ax it was raining and that was depressing so to match the mood I did some farming I then traded some

Emeralds to get some XP because I wanted to get enough to enchant a bow which I did and it was terrible so I got some more XP and I Enchanted another bow and that was not terrible lovely a bow never eye armor what on Earth would you need

That for Joel we’re gonna go kill that stinky Ender Dragon for elytra to help us gather materials I know where a fortress is this shouldn’t be too hard uh let’s try trading some gold first though give me some pearls please you suck well one goal didn’t work guess

We’ll do it the old-fashioned way with our looting three that’s pretty good probably actually better than trading goals against I don’t know why I’m scared with my armor and this Shield we should be fine well I found the blaze spawner absolutely hidden away oh this is what I was scared of the fire

But I’ve already got six blaze rods what the heck looting free is insane there’s another two and there’s another one there we go 11. let’s get those pearls this Hardcore Minecraft thing is easy so I killed some Enderman to collect some ender pearls and they make such a lovely

Noise love that noise before we set off we’re gonna take some Gunpowder and grab some paper and make ourselves some Rockets Ender Dragon I’m coming for you so let’s put some epic music on yeah that’s epic and look I’m gonna kill this chicken in practice for the Ender

Dragon and then we’re gonna throw a boat up a mountain this is what people do right okay but seriously let’s put some spooky music on now and we’re gonna get ready to kill this Ender Dragon I spy a fortress I do I do so I found the portal

Here it is I then place the eyes in in a really epic manner oh epic oh I was going back up to the surface and I’ve just stumbled across 10 diamonds nice anyway I went up to get some wood quickly for chests all right let’s do this I’m scared scared scared scared scared

So you can clearly see in this clip that I have armor on but my replay mod messed up so now it looks like I’m badass and I’m killing the ender dragon with no hour in hardcore also in the replay mod it showed me missing like loads of

Arrows and stuff which is totally not me uh must be another replay mod glitch am I right this shot right here was quite scary but the ever Towers went down with ease and I’ve killed the Ender Dragon so many times now that this was actually quite easy we had one little scare there

And that even wasn’t that bad and there we go Ender Dragon dead listen to me glow easy not even close easy peasy lemon squeezy I’m honestly more scared about this bit mainly because I did die once before while bridging in the end but that didn’t stop me still I went off

Exploring looking for those end cities and we found one it’s a bit scary as I’ve angered an Enderman somehow down there hopefully it doesn’t teleport up to me while I’m bridging to the ship oh my gosh please don’t but here we go a big moment the sky is the limit baby but

We didn’t leave the end just yet oh no we flew off in such a more end cities to raid where I’ve got myself loads of iron lots of diamond tools lots of diamonds lots of gold found a silk touch shovel which was very nice we killed some

Shulkers as well to get some shulker shells for shulker boxes I found the most insane pickaxe ever then took a portal back to the middle collected the dragon egg and headed home through the main portal back home baby let’s have a look at the rewards a load of diamonds gold and

Emerald plenty of end rods some shulkers plenty of armor plenty of elytra pickaxes swords and shovels and a buttload of XP the problem is the best boots right have curse of binding but also mending so if I put them on I have to use them forever pretty much and this

Insane pickaxe I got I already upgraded my stupid pickaxe I’m so dumb I should have waited but I guess I can make stinky a better sword and make a decent helmet but now we have our wings it’s time to get working on the magic Library

The first things first we need to make a way of getting to this Library so we’re collecting some drips down then hollowed out this path here which I filled up with a little staircase with some drip Stone on the sides to make it look a bit

Nicer I then put some lenses on so that mobs wouldn’t spawn and decorated the entire thing leading us to our space I then went to the never because we want to collect some warped wood as we’re going to be building something in said space and one of the things we needed

Was some amethyst which I found luckily in the ocean on the way over to the desert because I also wanted some Sandstone as we’re gonna be using that a lot so I got about a shulker boxes worth I then got some red and yellow and orange terracotta and then headed home

Dyed some sheep white to get some white wool before sorting out the rest of the materials I need which wasn’t too many as it’s only something small so to give this build a bit more character we’re gonna add some lore to it and where do I

Like to get my law from that’s right magical fountains why have I built two magical fountains in two different series well I guess that’s just law baby although this one really isn’t that magical you know what is magical this time lapse of me clearing out a load of

Grass it’s not really but just pretend it is Alakazam out of the dirty no I think that means goodbye in Italian but anyway goodbye grass and hello materials as we’re not gonna leave that grass just looking empty with nothing on it instead we’re gonna get working straight away on

A floor and I made this floor he’s in some Spruce Wood with some spirals in it using that yellow orange and red terracotta now I know what you’re thinking Joel this floor is so Random why are there bits cut out here here here well pretty much everywhere actually well full transparency like

Usual I’ve gone into creative mode to design this first if I was to design this build in survival it would have taken me days or weeks of building it up knocking it back down because I’m very indecisive instead I went into creative mode and started getting a basic shape

Together that soon developed into this blocky shape here but that’s all I’ll show you for now is I don’t want to spoil things I will tell you the color palette though is deep slate and Sandstone but the Rubes are different and they are oh spicy so we’re going to

Start out by building our first Tower here we can get our first villager in hopefully some mending and breaking as I’m running through elytra very very quickly and I’m gonna do the first part of this material Gathering Montage there’s a song but this time I’m not

Gonna tell you what it is you have to let me know in those comments have you subscribed by the way you should subscribe I’m really cool and not at all egotistical Bow Wow hopefully you get that I realize now that that song came out in 2005 making it 18 years old

Oh my gosh I’m old anyway we need to get a couple more things and the only thing we actually really need is this Basalt here and I’m not gonna mess around we’re gonna get building this tower now so we’re using the Deep slate and doing a gradient into the coral here and then

Using some Birch and some Sandstone on top before finishing it off with a gradient roof which finishes with pumpkin orange but before we show you it fully here is me getting some villagers into the tower as we need to get those trades desperately so far I’ve only

Broken two left turns let’s see how long this takes just so you know this is one of my least favorite things to do in Minecraft surprisingly good 26 and we now have a guy who sells Unbreaking books for 30am rolls I know it’s a lot but it’s one of those books you don’t

Have to buy that often so let’s get a brand new elytra and plop this on there and now let’s get mending also you may have noticed that I have not showed the other side of this building yet well that’s because um oh there’s a big hole in it like I

Said I planned this stuff out beforehand so I don’t like using unnecessary blocks and we’re gonna fill up some area around here but first let’s get a villager up there somehow which is easy with a bit of dirt yippee more expensive books baby but look we got it it’s done oh it’s

Dark and if you know my videos you know I like to give them a fun name as well and let’s give everyone a fancy sign as well and we now have our first Tower meaning we should get to work on the rest which is looking a bit empty right

Now let’s start with the Deep slate slash Basalt level shall we but before we do that I wanted to get some carrots and all my other materials to trade for emeralds not for the emeralds themselves but instead to fix my ax with its new mending enchantment I then went deep

Into the caves where I mined a load of deep slate well not that much really but some deep plate I then stripped some wood which I did before chopping at this time as people seem to like that and I also got got myself a decent amount of

Spruce wood as well which I turned into planks Etc I then made some mangrove trees and I hate these things they are the worst thing to farm in the world I like to use a regular hoe to just clear it and then mine the logs I also made

Myself some lanterns some stained glass some books for lecterns and then I headed into The Nether which is a lot easier now that I’ve got wings and you can just fly past all the mobs I got myself some glowstone some stream lights and finally some Basalt which I need for

The gradient I also kill this piglet child because I hate them me build now wow that was very straightforward but yes we got working on the lower level here using those deep slate bricks we got and the Deep Slate Plus the basalt and finally the coral box which I’d

Collected before I did all these staircases going around as well so you can get around all the villagers now I know what you’re thinking Joel this looks pretty cool down here but what the heck is this this looks terrible well that’s because obviously I’ve not

Finished the top yet it’s going to be a bit taller as you can see from some creative world planning earlier but I want to talk about the design right I hate building Interiors I hate it so much so I decided to put all the villagers on the exterior every time you

See these stream lights around this is where the villages are gonna be I’ve also put this cool path along so you can travel all the way around go to every single different villager on each section and it’s all connected up there’s space for all the villagers I’ll

Probably ever need this summer as well and if not there’s plenty of other space I can place them as well so I guess we should finish it but first let’s check our cactus farm oh Cactus and also Farm mushroom okay I then collected all the remaining materials I need which a lot

Of them I’d gathered early including the sandstone and terracotta I did need a lot of birch wood though look at how much birch wood I cleared out here it filled up two shulker boxes pretty much and most of that was stripped logs how fun a little break from the material

Gary Montage because it’s a new day since I recorded the last stuff and um I had a dream last night that I died in this hardcore world and it was horrible it was like a nightmare so um oh well Enter the Never while this gas shoots at

Me can we take a moment to admire’s Absolute monster of a crimson wood tree look at the size of this thing ow anyway I instantly destroyed the monster as I needed all the wood and I also destroyed this never Fortress well we have five shulker boxes away from materials here

So this next time lapse is gonna be quite a long one let’s talk through the design process shall we while some funky music plays behind us so I wanted to go for two very contrasting materials such as the sandstone and the Deep Slaters I think the bottom and second halves are

Very like equally split and it looks really nice I also wanted to use some diagonals in this build as I think it just adds a lot of texture to the build and it also is quite challenging when you come to detail diagonally and I love a little challenge I also wanted to make

A interesting route that wasn’t just deep slate so I went for the never rack pumpkin acacia wood and red terracotta which is not something I’d normally use together but it makes this really lovely gradient and adds a little pop of color but not too much to this build all in

All I think it turned out rather nice big castle is Big look at it oh it is empty I forgot to put the villagers in yet oh I should probably do that but it’s going to be really long and boring so I won’t show you because no one wants

To see that instead let me do a quick Shake of the camera well you can probably tell by the change in day that’s uh I’ve been doing this for quite a while I’m actually kind of scared to look at how many lecterns I’ve broken but we’re gonna do it anyway 665.

I’m angry and I didn’t even get all the enchantments I wanted we managed to get silk touch which is good we got efficiency 4 after trying for so long and it costs 58 emeralds Fleet this guy here was not cooperating for a long time we’ve got protection for here which is

Good and we have feather falling free which I combine this with ever falling for and put on my boots so I want to go do something fun and something fun that I enjoy is terraforming and you’ll notice that the mountain we’re stood in front of here where we got this wall is

Looking a lot nicer than the one I’m struggling to climb up here which is is ugly to be honest I also want to add some trees in maybe around the back let’s just have some fun as I’m sick of breaking lecterns this was definitely more fun than trading with villagers

However it still took quite a while and a lot longer than I was expecting as you can see as the days take past here we did also add some trees around as well which we’ll see popping up in all these different areas here once hidden behind

The castle I didn’t want to add too many trees because I didn’t know what we’re gonna do with this section for example and the section behind it but look it’s looking so much nicer now with all this sort of moss and drip Stone we’ve added oh lovely I’ll even give you a rare

Shaders view because I don’t like to do this because I think shaders just make everything look better and can make bad bills look good but we’ve got all our Librarians set up we still need a way to get emeralds as farming our crops is not

A good way and we also need a way to get Rockets as air these are my last 11. I’ve got no gunpowder left but a load more trees and this place is looking very nice even from the farm Fields here and it is a big boy as well look at the

Size of it oh it is lovely and I think it fits in really nicely with the whole area lovely and as the sun sets while I’m hovering over this very precarious edge here we end today’s episode make sure you’ve subscribed leave a like and comment and we’ll be back next time night
