I Tried Building a Mountain in a WEEK in Hardcore Minecraft Survival

I have one week to record this video and for some reason my brain said if we’re building a mountain could be fun so starting from this flat hill I’m attempting to build a mountain in Hardcore Minecraft in a week and what have I done so far nothing leave a like

And please subscribe to help my sanity as I don’t sleep for a week in order to build this mountain one very important thing to building mountains is survival is a lot of rockets to fly around and my rocket box is nearly empty so a quick stop for a little bit of sugar cane

Turned into paper and a stop at the monolith you grab a little gunpowder from the guest Farm to craft into firework rockets and that is much better with a few shulker boxes here completely filled up with stone well almost and a few grass blocks it’s time to get

Started on the mountain where from here we can add in a few guidelines and I want to continue on from our monolith Mountain over there to probably about here then the terrain is gonna actually swoop back down in here to about out this height and fly back into the sky at

Our highest peak building custom terrain in Minecraft requires a lot of steps to get done right especially in survival I don’t have any fancy world edit plugins to make this for me so to start out I want guidelines to tell me roughly how tall each of the Peaks will be and I

Think this right here is a good first step now from here I want to try and create a line between all of the Peaks to create a form of silhouette shape kind of for this whole thing and now at the scale of this project is really

Setting in I might be in trouble to do this in a week as I’m already halfway through day one but if I can get the shapes in today that’ll be a success as right now it doesn’t look uh too great let’s start with a smaller Peak here and

Just start setting things in stone where the verse chokers already empty and let’s grab some more I got a little carried away building out this section but I think I like it quickly back to the viewing tree oh you like it now for the sake of time I’m only gonna focus on the front and once we get that sorted then we can uh think

About the back as for now it’s uh just this and there goes another hour of mountain work and a lot of progress has been done so far on the smaller Peak but I only have a stack of grass blocks left and and we’re through just over two shulker

Boxes of stone I still have tons of stone to work with but with already two shulkers down I want to get the texturing materials together as it sounds like I’m gonna be needing a lot of them for the general Shadows I use tough blocks and Acacia logs on the original Mountain starting with

Occasional logs I’m planting tons of saplings to move the process forwards to save some time I did bone meal up a lot of those saplings in order to get chopping now I already have a ton of saplings from building the gator tree so I did spend about 30 minutes Gathering

Leaves off the top two fill two shulker boxes of Acacia leaves there was still tons left but I decided to just leave it alone and get chopping on all of the logs since it was gonna take a while nearly 40 minutes but later but we can

Add to the pile here for one and a half Shockers of Acacia logs I think I’m gonna need more next diving down into the caves for the tough blocks I scavenge through the branch mines trying to find pockets of it and ended up doing a little bit of caving throughout just

Some random caves I found which is what you do in Minecraft when you find caves but over here we now have two shulker boxes nearly full of tough blocks and 90 diamonds now for the highlights I’m using light gray wool and light gray concrete powder let’s start with the

Wool here as I do have the sheep farm down the mountain and hopefully it’s been running for a while no no we uh we’ve been using a lot of light gray wool I guess let’s grab a little bit of wheat from the wheat farm which you are very full oh I love this

I’ve already dyed all the Sheep outside to light gray wool so we can just breed them all up as the more sheep we can get down here means the more wool I’m gonna be able to get right I think that’s everybody now and that’s a lot of little

Sheep oh wait if I hold this and I just sheer they all come to me That’s every sheep sheared now and that’s under a stack and a half okay that’s not good that’s not good poker monster Joker Monster please ten there’s there’s ten right that’s gonna be a problem we’ll deal with the wool situation soon but I have more important matters to attend to like

Creating light gray concrete powder that should fill the Joker flying over our beautiful mountain range we can stop at The White Tulip farm for these white tulips to create light gray dye yep that’s the thing but now we have a light gray concrete powder we’ll craft more as

We need it later but for now we’ve got a full stroker before we get the last blocks together I have an extremely important thing to do naming these two adorable foxes here we have M and snoozel not that this Berry Farm isn’t already producing so much might need to

Hook up a composter these berries here in the middle aren’t growing because there’s not enough light so we can make the farm even more efficient with just the little glow like in right in here and I think it’ll be enough I’m gonna regret this oh professional and now

Everything in the middle here should be growing another stop to the dirt storage room where I want to grab a ton of uh never mind never I will not be grabbing a ton of mud the last two terraforming materials I wanted to use mud and basalt

Where we do have plenty of Basalt so that’s good this will allow me to make some more drastic shadows and keep with kind of a Bluey tone that should help it feel natural but still kind of on the fantasy side I’m going for I definitely want more mud and if anything I’ll use

It for builds later so I ran out to the mangrove swamp and completely ignored the fact that I built a mud Farm to gather up a ton of mud and you know further destroy this biome that’s two sugar box a mud full and a little extra for the packed mudbox polite distraction

Here I did find a berry treasure map on my way home and it should be right here I’m guessing this spot no that’s my free heart of the sea and TNT here we’ve got our little shulker monster for our big mountain first full day of work and I

Have a good start so far but now it’s time to focus on how the mountains will merge into the terrain blow down here I want to create some large Rock faces like the whale Rock to bring the baseland up into the mountains here’s the first one and they’re all gonna be

About this large it’s gonna be interesting trying to work this into the train below because I don’t want to completely remove the dirt so we’ll see how this is all gonna land like these are probably slowly inch their way down into here we’re gonna have another one

Starting below it kind of right about here that’s gonna stick out a touch further and we can end with a second box like this that’s about this about the size so we’ve gotta add some more third one’s now in place I think this spot right here is pretty perfect for a

Waterfall so we can start framing out a position for it with some taller rocks I just keep flying away and looking back and uh I think that’ll work maybe a little taller and much better I’m calling these rocks the great beans because as I added in more shapes I

Realized they all look like beans and now we have a big bean wall this looks like a pretty good start but I do need to figure out how we can bring the Rocks around the corner and merge into the existing Mountain terrain I think we can

Take the idea of just having some large random rocks and maybe start one right over here some of these rocks are going to be sticking out and others are just kind of along the landscape I’m fine everything’s fine I’m just gonna you know for no reason whatsoever just kind

Of spontaneously I’m gonna light up this game with some torches I didn’t hear remove that dirt though so thank you creeper and from here we can just turn the rock into the grassy landscape for the Rolling Hill leading into the mountain I don’t want to completely replace the entire Hill that we have

Down here so I think we can just work the slope all the way up into the mountain Edge itself but with that first rock sorted we can start adding in a few extras and I’m thinking we’re gonna have a few that do overhang I think this will be pretty

Short but a wide boy I know I’m still in the early stages here but I’m really excited when I can finally start adding some trees to really bring this place alive adding in the additional rocks below this should be enough place down to balance out the terrain itself from the old raid Farm it’s starting to

Look pretty good now Solid there are only so many things I can say while placing down stone blocks that sound interesting so this is a very interesting statement about me placing stone blocks to create Big Stone beans very interesting man I can’t wait to rebuild all of these with the texturing

Blocks but now the beans need some grass blocks on top Foreign ERS these are some nice Boulders oh my gosh I almost forgot I need to play the field even though I’m on a time crunch here I can’t forget the most important part of a hardcore video building a new field in this world imagine if I skipped

An episode of building a field and we are forever a field short that’d be awful just like imagine if you missed a hardcore episode because you weren’t subscribed and you’d feel forever like you missed a little bit of this world so be sure to double check that you’ve

Subscribed as YouTube could be youtubing and breaking things I really appreciate all of your support so thank you for taking the time to subscribe and leave a like on this episode little potato field done time for the big bean Mountain back to work on the mountain as I want to finish shaping

This out of stone but I’ve only got a little over a shulker left are any of these full of stone no but this one is empty scavenge together a few boxes here and thankfully I’ve got enough Stone down here I just needed boxes to move it with this is why

Hoarding all your resources is a good thing you have them in random chests all stone with the materials ready to go I spent the entire next day working on Stone casting the mountain working out each unique section and taking the time to get it right as it’ll hopefully save

A lot of time later when I get into texturing the first section of the large Peak looks pretty good though I worked on the peak next as I felt if it was done I can just work down from there but that didn’t stop me from allowing my

Brain to just work out the elements it wanted to in the moment which turned into a lot of jumping around and building the rock shapes out all over the entire Mountain until it’s stitched together I started to just let myself Define the large outlines to fill in

Later on then coming back to fill in all of those shapes with all of the stone that I had on hand before trying to connect this down to the grassy Hill and the large rocks I previously developed which I am extremely happy to see all of this merging together into the existing

Terrain but that’s five shulker boxes of Stone down however looking at where we restarted this week this is already a massive amount of progress for Hardcore Minecraft mountain building two days down and I’m actually on the fourth day as yesterday was my wife’s birthday so I decided to spend that with her instead

Of playing Minecraft all day but happy birthday Sid and I got a mountain to build I picked up a little bit more Stone but before we get back into it I need to breed up the Sheep one more time and hopefully this will actually repair

My wings a bit how did you get out there and how are you out there ah that actually worked pretty well on the repair excuse me excuse me no no why how did you guys even get here I also want to use Moss to texture the

Grassy areas so let’s turn on the Moss farm and let this run while we get our wolf because uh actually there’s a decent amount but I think we’re gonna need more thankfully the light gray wool is pretty easy to get even if it’s just a little tedious to keep sharing all the sheets I’ve been here Gathering wool for like 20 minutes and all the Sheep just keeps staying stuck up here at the top so I had an idea what do you think if there was like a block in Minecraft Like The Village Bell that keeps villagers nearby it but for bread animals that could put

Like right here and they’d start trying to face their defense like this guy Almost six more stacks of wool here but I’m gonna get back and finish building out the mountains by that I mean I’m almost basically out of dirt too which means I can start to repay back on my promise right now I owe 6150 dirt Four sugar boxes are full over here but some is grass so I still owe about 2 000 dirt next I want to finish filling in the open gaps here before we start placing too many stone blocks again connecting the mountain to the big bean rocks is making me really really like

How this is turning out so far I’ll be honest I’m a bit worried about completing the back and the remaining time I have as I haven’t started to texture at all yet but I need to figure out the shape that this is going to take on where I think we’re gonna bring in

Some Stone back here so I can start to plan how I need to wrap around the main mountain section so that we can easily line it up later as my plan is to hide the nether Tree Farm in a giant rock like we have this guy then we’ll

Probably have another prong coming off this direction kind of down towards the Stables trying to avoid making too much of a plus shape here but something like that I think will work with that in mind I need to start wrapping around and seeing how much I can get finished up on

The main mountain itself so far I’ve got two rocks figured out down here for I want to Loop them around and then I also built this thing coming out the back that the clouds are blocking I’m just gonna turn those off but it’s kind of hanging out here meaning now I need

To balance it by extending the mountain out further so that Line’s gonna work great I think this is gonna extend up here and we can bring the dirt out just a little bit further most of this will probably be Moss at the end just so it’s

Super bright for now I think we can just extend the dirt out like this and maybe pump it out here just a little bit further that’s at the point in a terraforming project where I’m just like yeah just throw and it’ll be fine what’s the worst that could happen Notable out here and I think I’m just gonna extend the grass out this way and we’ll figure out how it lines up later but I think it’s gonna look really nice I’ve almost got the entire Peak cased in here I’ve just got this one little section left and got distracted by

Placing the grass blocks down but we can fix that right now I was gonna say much better but I forgot a block professional Minecraft doesn’t know that’s definitely what I intended to do definitely you know you can’t even tell where I put that one yep it’s great you know how I mentioned just

Needing time to place blocks in and figure it out I decided to spend the next two hours doing just that and spamming in as much Stone down as possible on the big boy which I gotta say is looking much more substantial now and I’m really happy with it it’s coming

All the way back here too it’s uh ignore the giant Darkness underneath we just need to now sort out this smaller one over here where I do think I can make it look a lot better by adding in some additional depth here onto the back side

Which will make it feel more full and less wonky like it currently is Quick little Fly Away here and that looks a lot more mountainy so I think that’s good right yeah now I need to bring this side out here even further because uh it still is a weirdly weighted on the front Let’s bring back here I think I want to create this into like a really shadowy area so we’re gonna stretch the rock out this way and invert the curve a bit further that that look good line yeah hopefully I’m spending a lot of hours on this one okay so this is really not

Making sense in my brain right now for some reason I can’t figure it out so we’re gonna try something new and jump down here to the bottom and just like work my way up ow not like that come up to about here so it’s like halfway in between those we

Can do a small little grassy section then we’re gonna go a pretty gradual slope up here that’s just gonna be like highlighted rocks and then a big element I’m trying to keep inside of this train that you’ve probably seen by now is that it does kind of work its way back on top

Of itself like being large rocks stacked up so we can bring it back forwards again and that brings us up to the problem section where we can do a little grass right over here kind of looping around the back looks so Nash and that forces that new curve I was talking

About okay perfect it barely makes sense to me if so if you’re confused too we’re in the same boat Quick trip back over to the viewing trees again so we can take a look at this thing and that is starting to look really good it definitely feels like a lot of rocks stacked on top of each other and we’re gonna make that even more extreme once we get in on the the

Texturing before we get into that though there’s a little bit of a problem I need to take care of and thankfully the gas Farm gave me a ton of torches back after we fixed it I like this a lot I really really like this a lot do I I miss the

Spot you saw nothing just like how dark and spooky it is back here chest piece on and it’s time for a little bit of battling there’s so many mobs down here oh I forgot I don’t know the only part I’m now terrified of is you know actually in the mountain itself but all

Those starches are going to be removed when I’m actually breaking the blocks to replace them so that’s a future problem nearly three more Strokers of stone emptied and a bit of dirt this is a big boy before I can build that anymore of the mountain I should probably reclaim

Some of the stone and get to work on texturing what I have so far since I’m on such a time crunch I want to use tools on my side to make this go quicker so I copied the mountain into a creative world and started to texture the

Mountain for the first time using world edit so I could just get a better idea what it should look like when I get back into the hardcore world I’m really happy I did that because I found coal ore is actually going to be really nice for

Shading and as much as you all hate the shulker monster right here I have been hoarding plenty of color who knew this could be a great building block I’m gonna eat a lot more light gray wool than I thought so I ran over to The

White Tulip Farm to get a ton of those I’ve been crafting all of the white tulips down into light gray dye I took a white wool and then created the light gray wool I needed I’m thinking from here we just start with all of the darker colors and get those added in and

I’m gonna need a lot of acacia wood which is I’m really happy I got all these screenshots on the side monitor I got to work hard copying in everything I had prepped in the creative copy and just ran with it trying to stick on theme for all of the colors representing

Highlights and shadows along with the terrain itself so when you see this build from a distance it has a lot more depth to it than just a stone mountain and I did get a bit carried away and finished it four hours later but now the main mountain is finally done and this

Is what it looks like without the fancy shaders on and I’m still loving it got a little extra materials around here so we’ll throw them back for now as I’m not mentally ready for that next one yet next up I want to grab a little bit of

Moss out of here nailed it that we can use to just get a little bit more of a dynamic feel to the grassy areas before we put any grass or flowers on them I’m thinking we just come in here take a few of them out and fill in the Moss Further horses back on top of this mountain I have to know are they all tame they are they’re escaping you’re also tamed too how many horses have been oh maybe we need a bigger Paddock they’re all escaping what’s going on we’ll get back to the Mossing in a

Second as um I just saw back in here and there’s a lot of dark spots that mobs can spawn so let’s uh eliminate a few of those all it takes for one of these to be a creeper and come through the mountain while I’m trying to build it like that one And this should be the last of it very bro nope Mr spot yeah nailed it ah I might have made a problem actually lighting up the inside of my mountain now the outside of the mountain that I’m actually trying to work on so many mobs just racking up that kill count as I

Snooze away but with that done I can get back to the lovely task of Mossing the mountain Just ran out of moss blocks but this is a pretty good start probably easier for you all to see because I’m colorblind when it comes to this stuff but I I like it I got most of the top peak done and down here I’m just wrapping it around

Before we keep going on the Moss I need to repair all my stuff before it uh it gets too late look at the mountain oh it’s so good down into The Nether we go to the Wither Skeleton Farm oh there we go everything in the under test

Is fixed up now too so we can put the doggies back in position and so many Stone swords we’ll put a filter on that eventually yeah oh I’m phasing out of resistance and now I want to try adding in some waterfalls that’ll come down from the mountain all the way down into

The base and flow out and Connect into the water over here I left this channel in here pretty perfectly for one of those waterfalls too oh it’s still open on the bottom but one of the waterfalls is definitely gonna be coming right down here it’s been pretty drastic drop in here

But then we need to start merging it up into actually reaching one of the mountains you know what I think this one’s actually going to be coming over from the new section that we’re going to be building out next I think the steeper section here is going to be a pretty

Good spot to drop it down might need to do some additional terraforming here because it looks like I should be falling out there but uh that’s fine it’s totally fine got a rough line in here now that’s gonna bring ourselves around there curve the corner and drop on down I think we can

Honestly just kind of Pop the water coming out right about here let’s throw the water in and hopefully it doesn’t mess up everything no no no no no no no no no oh please torches be safe now for the waterfall itself I need to add in a few extra bits so that the

Water more smoothly Cascades its way down here but that actually is looking pretty good for the first try I decided to actually connect in a second waterfall from the new Mountain into the main bit we just made before extending it down to the river below we’re now

Working on a waterfall system to come down from the main mountain we’ve already textured and I figured this time I could work from the bottom going back up and for simplicity’s sake I think it’s easiest to work with the natural terrain and just run it down here into

That existing Place we’ve already done except maybe we have like a little Pond section in here that’s unique yeah and then the pond comes out into our new River here this is only going to be one waterfall coming down from the Big Mountain so it’s okay for this to be a

Little bit skinnier than the first one there goes the pond in place and now we’re connected into the river now I don’t want to ruin the texturing on the mountain too badly but I’m thinking right in here it’s the perfect place for this waterfall to come down so if we

Pick right up there next to the coal blocks we can drop it down coming over here might not be the cleanest but it should work out foreign s now and I think if I just snake it coming along this direction that should lean up into the next fall point right

Here there goes the dirt filled out and time for the terrifying part of putting the water in there we go and a good first start there we go there we go we’re falling and we have impact oh that looks so good this right here is starting to look pretty

Magical moving on to day number six I’ve already spent over 45 hours in the last five days playing this game well four days because I didn’t play on one of them but we’re almost done with the front of the mountain and yet again I need more light gray wool

Should have everything together now we can jump to the top of the mountain and to get in some of the highlights we’ve got the formula down for the mountain so I’m able to more easily fly through building this mountain peak I’m really happy with the first one so going with

The same ideas this should hopefully turn out just as good a quick fly away to check up on the peak and this is a very high performance level but I can’t quite find the word for it Peak let’s just move on and get into building out the next section before too

Many people leave the video so here’s me sleep deprived and building up even more of the mountain with fancy colors that’ll make you forget my awful joke never did I think I would use so much coal ore when building anything in Minecraft well if we come back all the

Way to the Outpost you can see that it really works well as like a shaded little slightly darker gray block from back here speaking of Dark Shadows I might have created another mob pit here behind I did try and fix this one as I go so it’s not quite as terrible but

It’s pretty bad oh no to put my chest piece on no not the child looking pretty lit in here now it means we can come back over to the front where whoa I guess I forgot that now for the rocks in between the mountains leaving these as blank Stone

Over here is gonna be a really really bad idea because they’re gonna look so out of place next to the mountains that we’re making so I’m thinking since we don’t have the overhangs here we just pick a few spots to run almost like a shadow line coming up and then we just

Add in some subtle highlights around and that should do the trick you know I think as uh annoying as this that I’m using it everywhere I think the Kohler is going to work out really well here since I don’t plan to really walk in these Mountains they’re mostly just as the backdrop

Doing a quick once over on these and I think that’ll work for the first and there we have it all of the Rocks coming down and connecting back into our original matching range are textured out pretty well I think they look pretty good and when we fly all the way back

Over here it feels a lot more cohesive throughout the entire thing it’s just uh 9 30 at night and I only have one more day to build this thing I’m not too sure this one’s gonna happen before I even start thinking about that though we gotta focus on the Rocks down

Here I’ve gotta say I can’t stop looking at the mountain so I hope you enjoy an extra cinematic shot here but the Rocks down below do need a little love to match everything as they do stand out a little bit too much currently as being

Bland so I want to fix that before I run out of time on this build so far I’ve been running around and adding in all of the Shadows then coming back in to add in the highlights as it helps me keep my inventory a little bit cleaner and I

Don’t accidentally Miss spaces as I’m moving along being on the smaller scale than the mountains I was able to leave a lot more of the space as Stone in place to still keep that natural look to it though I did decide to stream while texturing the Rocks so it’s actually my

Seventh anniversary of uploading on this flip YouTube channel and I knew this was gonna take a few hours to finish off but that was extremely exciting to share with the community until of course I ran out of light gray wool again and again and again so back over to the sheepies

Again for even more light gray while collecting to build rocks out of wool before returning back to the rocks to finish off all of the bean texturing to really make them pop along with the mountain itself I did set up a little dispenser here so that we can celebrate

And have some firework Rockets go up which is so fun there’s so many in here in my inventory is full so I gotta get rid of them yay fireworks yay just three hours later of Bean Building and the mountains are done just a little lifeless and you look at the back it

Doesn’t exist for the next distraction from the back I mean next step in building I’m gonna need some more Moss blocks wow from all the way over here the mountains are looking so good with the Moss I want to add in some strips coming down the mountains for something

Like a slight erosion Channel reaching all the way down here for something more like this I spent the entire next hour adding in a few more erosion channels on this side of the mountain fireworks fireworks fireworks now from here I want to dot a few trees along the landscape being

Careful to make these on the smaller size as if I build them too large they’ll overtake the mountain and make it look really small so we need the smaller trees so they don’t ruin the scale of the mountain itself we just built and something like that should work out

Really well for the trees my elytra is very broken though so before we can Leaf them I gotta fix this 70 durability in a dream we can definitely make it out here just in time so I’ve got a lot of stuff to fix I’m definitely running out of time to

Record this episode so this is gonna be good enough on the tools from here though I do want to bring a bunch of bones with me as we’re gonna need a lot of bone meal soon we’ll break that down into bone box later now I just need to

Put all these Birch leaves on top of the trees the sun is stack of leaves left and still three trees to go but this is looking really good over here now time to finish up these last trees and that is looking much better oh fireworks

Actually I want to add in a few smaller Trees Too for variety’s sake so I decided to just hang out and do that with Oak fences and Acacia leaves like I have Below in the forest now is where those bones I grabbed earlier are gonna

Come in to help as I want Tall Grass to be on top of this entire train I need to be careful not to bone meal over the Moss though because uh that’s gonna cause problems and we’re gonna get rid of a lot of the flowers First big section is done now and it looks a lot better with the grass on top of it and it’s really making those Moss channels that we built pop out even more I decided to leave a bunch of yellow flowers in here as they all naturally

Spawn when I was bone mealing and again taking a look back and that I like it that just adds a nice little pop to that section again with all the Tall Grass down here and I’m like halfway done it’s just been two days fireworks yay yay more bone mealing woo bone meal wow

Such fun invigorating content so cool wow The entire lower section is now done and that nope I forgot those rocks but up there it’s looking really good like it never happened we’re just gonna hide it in nope in some grass small mountains now finished up and I think it just adds that extra little bit of softness around

The grassy areas which makes it feel more Lush finally time for the last one here and I’ve got to be very careful on not clicking on the Moss I can barely see it and this air finishes off the main mountain and wow I am extremely happy with how this has turned out to

The viewing tree yep that’s that’s good mountain yay fireworks and now I think it’s finally time to uh clean up this little bit of a shulker mess up here that’s gonna require two trips wait I could put the flowers in here like we were never there I’m just

Gonna casually go ahead and put all these shulkers back here and we’ll uh deal with them later it’s not becoming a problem it’s currently way late at night but I need to wake up early for a long road trip tomorrow so I am officially out of time but I’m calling the one week

Mountain challenge a success please leave a like as this has taken well over 60 hours in the past week to complete and it helps me out so much more than you could ever know now be sure to subscribe if you haven’t as this sun set right here officially brings me to 4 000

Days survived in this hardcore World currently on day 399 and with that I’ll catch y’all on the flip side fireworks fireworks
