I Survived 1,000 Days in Hardcore Minecraft [The Movie]

One thousand days in minecraft is a really long time and over the last eight months i’ve survived from zero to one thousand building some amazing creations as well as a pretty awesome community i’ve already told a part of the story in three other videos that you should probably go check

Out first but this is the story from about day 300 and how i turned minecraft into my full time job we start right where 300 days left off with my wings on my back exploring the world and prepared to take my hardcore journey to a whole new height

Enjoy the pun with so much additional resources the first thing we needed to do was greatly upgrade our base and that meant it was time for a redstone powered sorting system so next project here’s what we need to do next is this space we need to set up

A ton of redstone and hoppers and chests and all sorts of stuff to organize and put to use all of the miscellaneous items that we’ve accrued because it’s it’s a mess this is something that i’ve never actually built before i was completely doing this from scratch and i set up a sorting

System in an alcove in the jungle that would support 80 unique items as well as a small central area that i sort manually for a lot of the high value treasures because i have an amazing iron farm a lot of the scaffolding and support of this was just built out of iron blocks

And felling jungle trees to build all of the chests for all of the hoppers this took about a hundred days in and of itself and it’s barely looking complete the roof wouldn’t be done for another 100 days but all of the redstone and all of the automatic sorting working out perfectly fine

The base was really starting to come together and i was exploring areas of minecraft that i usually didn’t delve too deep into redstone being one and starting to work on much bigger build projects being the second and given that it was time to upgrade our nether portal

The little portal on top of the hill was enough to get us started but i wanted something that looked a little bit more impressive and intimidating in something that would very clearly foreshadow the project that we would be working on for the majority of this video i started building another island out in

The lake and stuck a gigantic sword down into the ground yeah i know super creative sword portal but this one this one is mine setting up obsidian to max build height and hanging lanterns from the cross guard and the pommel i really came up with something that

Put a little bit more style and personality in the space it was starting to feel like i wasn’t just living in this jungle i was tailoring it to my will and we still had a lot of work to do With a few builds at home complete it was time to go out and go exploring i was about to find two things that would change the course of this playthrough and my life forever When i finally hit the easternmost coastline of my continent and sailing over the ocean i found not one not two but five ocean monuments in a perfect cross pattern and i knew i was going to do something special with that center one and while that would be the project that would dominate

A big part of these 1000 days something small and rare that i found on my way back home would set the tone in my community pretty quickly i still don’t believe that that’s a thing tall birch forest is super rare they would be very it would be so on

Brand if this is like this is the second rarest biome in all of minecraft we’ve won we have won minecraft we have won minecraft we we have peaked we have we have beat we have peaked we hit five five ocean monuments and then we hit a pink sheep on the way back

And with that fateful discovery of one of the rarest mobs available in minecraft the new challenge was going to be getting my new friend home and doing so without the aid of my elytra as i had run out of rockets on my way over in this direction and

My first thought was to get it into a boat since i didn’t have name tags available forgetting the passive mobs just don’t despawn unless they’re killed and the second was getting it leaded and starting to lead it through several different treacherous forests now you see there’s something interesting with the ai in minecraft

That makes it a little bit more dynamic wolves when untamed will attack sheep so they were something that i was doing my best to watch out for the first thing i did was set up a little shack so that i would have a safe place to base out of and rest because we

Needed to wait until night to kill some slimes and spiders to craft a lead to be able to lead our asset back towards the base that’s what we decided to call the sheep by the way the asset very secret service leading the president to a secret location

The materials in hand and the lead crafted i started leading the sheep back towards the base doing my best to avoid whatever dangers i would potentially put it in so it could survive and find its new home in the jungle and that’s when things went a little bit sideways Where i found out how to gamble oh no oh no oh no whoa there’s another one no oh no no [Applause] oh no after all of that with my journey unfortunately ending in death i flew my way back towards the jungle and immortalized the asset

In a place where that still sits to this day in my hardcore world but i wasn’t gonna let this one failure stop me because there was more work to be done and i for one never wanted to run out of rockets ever again so let’s build a creeper farm

Gathering up what little gunpowder i had back at the base i crafted a few stacks of rockets and set out for a village that i had not yet encountered that potentially had a few cats running around i knew roughly how to tame them but i don’t want to admit how long

This honestly took when it comes to doing the things that require patience in minecraft i’m not exactly the best thankfully doing this all on stream i had people to talk to while i was standing around and waiting and a few people popped in and made a huge splash in the community ah yes Yeah the lead worked thank you thank you whoa with some new members of the community making themselves known in a big way i collected my two cats and began running and flying my way back to the jungle base stopping every so often so the cats would teleport to me

You know as cats normally do while on our way back i found one more desert temple and this one this one would be special in the very near future just keep an eye out for that but after raiding that and flying home it was time to build our creeper farm so

I could never not fly again and the ancestors of all cats in this creeper farm the ones who would be providing you the gunpowder by just you know sitting there in darkness well i had to name one chief as a thank you for the amazing support

And then shadow was named in honor of someone else’s pet and the two of them have been protecting my base ever since with the building constructed and infinite gunpowder available to me i thought it was time to actually head back to those five ocean monuments and get ready for a project that would

Take a majority of these thousand days a mega build on a scale that i have never worked at before and something that i started in april of this year but before i could get started with the build i needed to secure the monument as my own which meant instead of a build

It was time for a battle if i was gonna clear one well i might as well clear all five [Applause] This [Applause] so With the defeat of five ocean monuments in a single stream behind me it was time to pack up all of my gear and head home thinking that the biggest part of the day had just been completed i stopped my internal recording so the next bits from my stream

But you’ll never believe what happened now i’m just looking around because we have rockets for days now and we’re gonna have even more after this gets built i’m like can we find another pink sheep No way no way no way no way no way did that just happen no way did that just happen no way did that just happen okay all right all right here we go here we go again what did what just happened we’re gonna try flying there’s a huge lake by our can you

Imagine how pog this will be can you imagine how pogba this will be i think i can do it i think i can do it it’s meant to be take a snack all right my friend ready It broke immediately you need to stack up and glide you can’t use rockets oh shoot co-pilot ow you go away there we go since i wasn’t going to be able to fly the sheep all the way back to base i went back to the village i just

Recently passed over to roll it over to the next day and then started on the lawn trek back home being very careful heading through the birch forest and realizing i didn’t have a clear path back that didn’t interact with wolves in some way so i came up with a slightly different

Approach sheep is worth everything convert the temple to the temple of the pink sheep that’s also true i could just do that and just say no you live here now we we could do something cool with this we’re going to add to the lore of our world leading co-pilot

Into their new home i started torching up the area and getting it ready for construction and setting it up as a satellite base on this end of the jungle it would act as a way station between the base and the nether monument project which would be starting

Shortly after this and a fun small build project to work on over the next few days center aligned underneath that banner looking at all of us we have found our new god we must do everything we can to please it and that effort starts with rebuilding the temple the first things i

Did was terraform the surrounding area to make it a lot easier on the eyes as well as covering up a ravine which was right in front of the thing from that point it was foreshadowing my future with a lot of sand placing and replacing a lot of water

To make more walkable space while also working on the interior converting it from entirely sandstone to look a lot more natural with wooden pillars grass and mushroom blocks interspaced all around to make my sheep feel a little bit more at home i was randomly jumped by some people with crossbows

In front of the door we’re not exactly taking new members to this religion quite yet but you’re more than welcome to hang your banners up on the front of the building and after only a few in-game days the temple had been completely converted from its old color scheme and function

To the new home of our in-game deity co-pilot and the amount of rallying the community has done around this sheep and the fan art i’ve received of it are absolutely stunning go check instagram for a few really cool shots but i’m working on this project and getting jumped by a random creeper on

The other side of my nether portal once it was time for me to upgrade my gear diamond diamond is nice but it is no longer the top tier standard for that you need netherite and for that you need a whole lot of tnt thankfully i just made a gunpowder farm so i had

Several stacks of tnt at my disposal and it was time to go blasting I made a bet with the chat at the start of this project that i would get a full stack of ancient debris before the end of my first netherite mining session and i didn’t i got 65 instead i put the trophy up in my storage room

And then revealed why i was desperate to upgrade all of my gear it was time to take on the next boss in your progression through minecraft it was time to fight the wither and that part of my adventure started with heading back to the nether going to

One of the nether fortresses that i had found previously and running around in circles in search for weather skulls this one piglen picked up one of them trying to be helpful i helped them fall to the ground so i was able to pick it up without incurring the wrath of all of

Their friends in general this took about three minecraft days an hour irl just to get the two more skulls that i needed having one that i had received on a whim just a few hours earlier but since you’re playing this for this show more so than trying to be absolutely safe

I decided instead of fighting the weather in a cave or sticking it under bedrock i’d battle it in an open field with a few days of preparation under my belt a shulker box full of potions and gear and an army of iron golems that i built to support me

In this fight exactly 100 days later than i had died in the series one world it was time to do the most dangerous thing i had done in this world to date thankfully the iron golems did their part more so in distracting the wither than actually doing any damage to it

Allowing me to go through just a single round of potions unlocking and losing arrows directly towards it hitting it and enraging it bringing it to the ground From there my sharpness soared with fire aspect and my strength potions and my sheer force of will was enough to eliminate it in just mere seconds meaning i barely used any of the potions that i had and i had more than enough golden apples to spare

And you know what one bonus cap will celebrate oh i don’t even care i don’t even care oh my god that was intense that wasn’t too bad but i was nervous we only used one round of potions oh my god we got our netherstar though we did it we did it chad

Oh with the netherstar in my inventory i flew back to my base used my copious amounts of iron that i had available to me and created a beacon marking this jungle as mine making myself safer than ever before and taking things to a whole new level with this available to me now

It was time to start on the main project for this one thousand days a total conversion of an ocean monument from an underwater sunken challenge filled with guardians to a netherrack fire and lava filled landscape replacing the entire monument with blocks from a dimension where water is not welcome

And bringing that vibe to the overworld in one of the biggest monument projects and biggest build projects i’ve ever seen on youtube enter the nether monument a project that i started almost exactly three months ago we returned to the jungle where preparations had been made over the next 20 or 30 minecraft days

Setting up multiple shulkers worth of glass to be able to create that outer circle as well as a lot of sand and collecting all of the sponges from my rating of these monuments to prepare for the drain the most time consuming part of this entire project so

I swam to the top of the monument prepared myself in a little box avoiding all the guardians attacks and started on the biggest project of my entire life So 60 days into the project i realized how woefully underprepared i was and despite having spent hours collecting sand and making glass i needed a lot more so i sailed off to a desert and it turned into a day of exploring flying around finding a shattered savannah

Which is one of my favorite biomes to build in as well as going to a desert to collect as much sand as possible but in deserts are desert temples and we made a few other discoveries while we were there we’re just exploring we’re vibing today reviving today chat all right

Chest number one a regular golden apple and a saddle i’m noticing a trend chest number three Yes yes we found one let’s with one of the hardest to find items in the game discovered i was in a mood so i kept flying around from temple to temple and shortly after our first god apple discovery well you you probably know what’s about to happen

Right three and two and a one then i’ll go and with two of the ultimate healing items in the game in my inventory you know what maybe we should go do a couple other things while also working on the project it was gonna be a big build regardless

So let’s do something to spice it up why not a raid defeating this would get me totems of undying and make my hardcore world that much more secure which was a really good call with some upcoming risks so let’s head over to a savannah village post up on the top of a hill

Load up our bow and prepare for a fight a raid is one of the most dangerous things you can do in minecraft if you’re not prepared for it but if you know what you’re doing the battle can be managed and victory can be easily obtained

What i had set up for myself in an unreachable elevated position being able to just snipe down with arrow after arrow after arrow meant that this was more of the latter not the form so after a brief skirmish with a few of the pillagers i was able to claim my prize three

Totems of undying one of which i stored down in the cave of wonders right next to my first set of elytra wings and the rest i kept in my inventory for some extra lives while i continued on my build in the nether monument when i returned to the storage room however the unfinished

Ceiling just rang out to me as incomplete with a big mega build halfway across the world already figured out i was neglecting things here at home so it was time to get started on that And it was nice to return to the more natural building elements compared to the harsh reds blacks and browns of the nether monument to finish this up and it came out looking beautiful every time i return back to the base now this is just an excellent place to go to

But with one build project done it was time for more progress so back to the nether monument i went the whole theme of this build is corrupting an ocean monument into its most hellish self which meant replacing almost all of the blocks with nether brick or black stone while working on the

Front i integrated some red nether brick as well and some gold blocks since gold is the currency of the nether and all of that gold reminded me that i needed to go someplace very specific and somewhat traumatic for some gilded blackstone so it was time to pop off to the nether

To go raid a bastion thankfully though i’ve learned from my mistakes and i can both see the piglet brutes and am smart enough to stay far away from them sniping everything that i could from a high perch much like i did with the raid after a tense few minecraft days collecting all

The resources i needed from the bastion i returned back to the monument and started constructing the actual pyramid top of the base switching it out for black stone and building a bedroom on the interior this was starting to look like how i wanted it to go but the work

Was still so far from done and the main thing i needed to do was draining lots and lots of draining and the projects started to become a little draining doing it repeatedly on stream so i worked a little bit in between streams and was able to knock out a large

Chunk of it while just putting on my favorite podcast critical role i was basically watching the finale while doing this in order to make my tools a little bit quicker to repair while doing all of the sticking and all of this mining of netherrack i built a little

Quick enderman farm in the end that i could get as much experience as possible while not having to worry too much it’s not perfect it’s not a one-hit kill it will get replaced but it is something to get me started but as we rolled over into 1.17 and all of the new blocks

This plan was starting to hit an actual point of completion i’m integrating deep slate a lot into the build i’m integrating a lot of deep slate into the build in different places to just bring a new texture for the best version of the nether and upon discovering this quintuple ravine

Just crisscrossing over each other with axolotls and glow squids swimming inside and a geode that i found at one point this was just a good way for me to crash course into all of 1.17 before getting back to work i also needed drip stone because farming lava with drip stone became

Possible in this version and without that there was no way this nether monument was ever going to get done if i were to talk about every detail of this build this video would easily be about four hours long it’s been about two months in real time in just working on this

Single project and for the first time ever both on youtube and twitch you’re finally gonna see the finished version but before we get there let’s kick it into a time lapse because we have one last set of builds to go through Um Back in january when i died in my original hardcore world i thought my career on youtube was over but the truth is it was just getting started as i fly over this build the largest the most intense one that i have ever created i’m just flooded with memories and

Emotions because all of this was made possible by those of you watching with the build or at least the first phase of it done anyway though and a milestone achieved there were just two things we needed to do i stood on the top of the monuments watching the sunrise of day 1000

With so many people in chats celebrating along at a milestone that we had achieved together there was no way i would have done this build without so many people to talk to or so many people to interact with it’s what made this possible the other thing that made it possible

Was my first set of armor the original set of diamond armor that i had upgraded into the netherite that i was wearing standing here it was time to retire it i set it on top of the monument so it could watch over this build and commemorate our first

1 000 days with about 100 nervous people watching i flew back to the base crafted up a set of diamond armor to get myself moderately protected and did one last dispenser of fate a tradition that we have established hundreds of days ago as the sun began to set on day 1000

I climbed up into my tree house and for the first time in about 150 days slept through the night with a new chapter right over the horizon And my friends we are just getting started this build might be complete but there are details in it that i wasn’t able to show in the videos so come tune in live on twitch right now i’m going to be live all day celebrating the fact that this is my

First day as a full-time content creator this is my job now this is crazy i have a lot more videos on the way since i’m gonna have a lot more time to be working on them and so many cool projects so many cool projects in the works

That are here for the hardcore world and other projects and other things and i’m so excited this is this is so special for me this is a dream i’ve had for my entire life so this is kind of crazy but until next time everybody come tune

In on twitch come say hello let me know what you thought of the video and i’ll see you every monday wednesday and friday on twitch as long as we can keep this going but that’s it for me until next time take care of yourselves be good to each other and i’ll see you

In the next thousand days [Applause] You
