I am about to venture into one of Minecraft’s oldest challenges the 404 Challenge essentially what this challenge is as you go into the seed you have one whole day to collect items and then you got to dive into a deep dark cave that is very very expansive so for This first day in the world I’m going to absolutely grind I’m going to get everything that I can and uh we’ll just see what we end up with now there are a few rules about the 404 Challenge first off and most importantly you only have One Life once you die it’s all over so it’s essentially just hardcore mode you’re not allowed to use torches which is slightly terrifying I don’t know how I feel about that one and once you enter the main cave you can’t come out like you just can’t there are a few other Random random rules but we’ll get into that eventually but a few things that we’ll need before we go down we’re going to need some seeds seeds are very important then we need to grab saplings if we don’t have saplings then we’re basically screwed and then obious obviously a few other various items that You would need to survive in a cave I feel like I’ve gathered quite a bit already I do need to go look for some pigs because if I don’t drop down with food then things could take a a very bad turn very quickly now one other rule for The first day is you’re not allowed to go into caves that aren’t lit by the sun I might be bending the rules a little bit here I don’t think that I am but I wanted to grab some coal that way I could go ahead and cook this food real Quick all right so I think I’ve collected pretty much everything that I’m going to need maybe we grab this Birch and the sugar cane and I think we should be good then we can go look for some more pigs oh yes oh yes we got a Few pigs here now as I head over to the hole I’m starting to I’m starting to just get a little bit paranoid feeling like I haven’t collected everything that I need it’s not a super great feelings so I’m really really hoping that’s not the case all right I’m going to cook one More pork chop and then we we should be good to go down and I think we’re good to go there are yep there we go Stars okay great I think we dig right there yeah and now now we can just go down guys wish me luck I hope we don’t die like Immediately I already hear a skeleton and a zombie not a great sign all right we’re here we’re in the cave um ooh iron Maybe maybe I shouldn’t go for this yet but I’m going to our first Iron I think it’s literally just one which is somewhat unfortunate okay all right let’s set up Like a little bit of a base real fast oh my gosh I’m being attacked already what the heck no oh that’s a lot of damage oh that’s a lot of damage okay so one thing about beta Minecraft that’s pretty commonly known is once you press F3 you Can pretty much see where any mob is that is another big rule in this challenge you’re not allowed to F3 so just keep that in mind I can’t really go just knowing exactly where the mobs are so that makes things just slightly frightening just a little bit more Frightening so our goal for right now we need to go out and about and we need to find some iron for now my temporary light source is going to be this fire but a more long-term solution is getting a bucket that way I can go ahead and Place lava where I need it oh my God no let’s not do that I am already getting railed in this place it is pretty sad o that was a lot of damage yeah I’m already getting pretty beat up in here I just want okay cool iron good perfect Now I haven’t really given any backstory because I was really focused in that first day and just trying to get all the items but this challenge is from way back I think it’s like February of 2011 so we’re talking like almost 13 years old at this point and essentially it was Created whenever seeds were first introduced whenever you were actually like able to choose your own seed and I guess somebody was messing around with it and they realized that the 404 seed had a lot of insane caves which honestly it’s so true this place is massive but Yeah I guess they thought it would be a good idea to just make this a challenge and you know what I think it’s a pretty good challenge I personally haven’t done anything like it I think the most limiting factor that I’ve ever had in Minecraft is maybe playing hardcore mode And I would certainly say that this is a step up from that another super important rule to note is you aren’t allowed to have a wall so you can’t like block yourself in which I think I’m doing a good job with that I haven’t blocked myself in yet if anything I’m Really kind of opening the space up that way once I start getting some lighting in here I can just kind of slow slowly expand and I think to start off I think we’re going to put our first our first light right here and I think okay cool Lava wall great fantastic I like that I think that I think that’s a good way to light things up now my main goal for this episode is oh I was just about to say my main goal for this episode is getting some diamonds so I can go like to the nether Actually I was going to say along with lava and having lava walls another thing you can do is you can flint and steel which you’ve seen me do already but if you go to the nether you can get nether rock and flint and steal the nether egg And it’ll it’ll just stay lit up forever but I’m I’m interested in seeing do we actually have a decent amount no way we actually have a decent amount that’s really good six diamonds pretty much right away that’s unheard of that’s insane okay cool okay well now I Don’t know what to do because now I’m almost tempted to go to the nether like immediately I don’t know if I should do that though okay I think I’m going to go grab lava that’s a little bit further away and we’re just going to go ahead And make a another portal because uh I don’t know carrying a bucket back and forth to light up one area at a time that’s going to be annoying so I’m not going to worry about doing that instead I’m just going to go ahead and get Myself set up and we’re going to go to the nether I need to get a water a water buck which this might be dangerous I don’t know if I should actually be doing this any water yo you guys got any water I’m scared give me some water Please whoa I think one of the big things I need to be careful about is something like this I can’t walk along um without making sure that I look up first because if there’s a hole in the ceiling and then a creeper falls down on me it it’s just game over pretty much Immediately so situations like this kind of terrify me I am not a big fan we need to kill this guy before he kills me uh get juked get juked nerd all right we’ve done it we’ve acquired water let’s go all I need is to gather a little bit of iron and get out Of here safely all right I all right I’ve got no more flint and steel I need to go nope this is dangerous oh my God no danger danger stranger danger oo no okay we must stay focused but I I want the iron I really Do okay my home is this way I can see it in the distance all right so obviously you need water to get obsidian right but there is a way to get obsidian other than just spilling it all over this lava right here so I’m going to do that and You guys will see it it’s kind of interesting I don’t know if too many people know about it but yeah all right so I’ve dug a little hole here and what we’re going to do with this essentially we are going to make a cobblestone generator but instead of generating Cobble it’s going to get us obsidian and you might be thinking to yourself like what the heck that sounds a little bit illegal however I can assure you it’s not and just look look right here okay you ready yes Obi Obi it’s the perfect OB Farm but yeah essentially if you place Redstone before it generates the actual Cobblestone you get obsidian it’s really weird I don’t know why it functions that way but it does and I love it so yeah all right I say we just go for it I say we just build ourselves a nice little Portal and uh and we head on in hopefully I don’t die like immediately okay in the ne o glow stone right off the wait can we place glow stone hold up let me I think we can I think we can use glow stone all right so in the rules it says it mentions Basically lava Redstone torches jack’ lanterns flint and steel it doesn’t say anything about glowstone but where it does mention glowstone is within the achievement section which for me if they’re saying that you achieve something by placing glowstone I’m just going to make the assumption that it’s Allowed I don’t know why but I didn’t even think about glowstone like my immediate thought went to flint and steel okay I don’t have a good system of doing this yet but I think for now we’re just going to light things up scary scary scary scary oh I’m so Paranoid stop stop just let me let me cool okay well I’m not going to lie I thought it was going to be a lot harder to find diamonds I basically achieved when I went into in the first episode where why what is he doing what are you doing My guy oh shoot I’ve been sniped but yeah my main goals were to get a another portal and well obviously get like a diamond pick and then another portal and I’ve already done that like we’re Shilling I think think at this point the plan for the rest of the episode is just Getting like a nice little base then I think in the next one we’ll probably do like a lot of exploring cuz I’m looking forward to that but we we need to come up with a good food supply first all right I think this wall I think this Wall right here is looking pretty good I think maybe at some point we can Branch off in this direction and make uh I don’t know a room or something I don’t really know okay P the grass P the dirt plant the seeds and we’ve got just enough bone meal bone Meal three of these guys Perfect all right we can make some bread now and I think that’s a nice little farm we now have like infinite food fantastic that’s great now I am contemplating do I go out there because I just used my one bread do I go out There now or do I wait and I’m tempted to go now but if I do that I might die which if I die then I’ll just feel like really really stupid man I got a chest plate I got a chest plate how bad could It be how bad could it be I’m just a dude without pants I think we’ll just go slowly forward look at this we are thriving right now all right this part right here slightly scar a ah sorry for my weird noises I don’t know these caves Are so scary to me look bro I’m being attacked actually I don’t know how scary it is because a lot of these mobs are just really dumb bro look at him hi hi there you be friends hi I will say though this this area right here is very scary I don’t like How big this cave is you go up there mobs can come from so many different directions man what’s that what are you doing go away uh let me light this up I’m about to be attacked o I got the drop on you this time why did I put that far out you know They weren’t expecting me to get the drop on them heck no they were not expecting that one bit o I think this cave right here kind of just it kind of just leads up to where that skeleton was shooting me at earlier where it was stuck all right I think this is good Progress I have one bone so I’m going to go back that’s all is that a mob spawner I think that might be a mob spawn there are like so many spiders what the heck is it right here I’m so scared bro oh shoot there it is I found it Let’s just cover that up I don’t want them falling down on me okay I think it’s it might be up a block O there we go I think we’re making I think we’re making our way in oh shoot y can they get through a one block Gap they can definitely hit me I don’t know where the spawner is where is the spawner stop heal oh my God they’re going to kill me bro I need to get out of here actually all right let’s get out of here safely and then we’ll come back All right I’m happy with that trip I think that was a very ooh okay I think that was a very successful trip I think it’s at this point I would I would kill for a skeleton spawner that would be so cool to have for anybody that watches my main series I still Haven’t found a skeleton spawner like I’ve been in that world for so many days I don’t know how I don’t have one yet all right we are fully Ked up very exciting um now I’m just going to go back to that spawner I don’t have food On me but I kind of want to see if I can just take it over anyways I don’t know exactly where it was because the spiders were just kind of coming for me I don’t know where they were coming from I’m pretty sure it’s a spawner cuz I swear There were like five or six spiders there okay I’m kind of exposing myself here a little bit dangerous maybe I just need to oh oh okay well we found the spawner that’s good now it’s just more of a question of how do we safely get to it all right let’s start off Small place that there please don’t kill me okay I think we’re I think we’re doing good I think we’re doing all right okay okay I think we’re good it doesn’t really have much in here this is exciting though okay I’m kind of hyped about this let’s put this here light That up all right we’re good to go I think we can we can make a farm out of that some point all right let’s clean this area up and then I think I’m going to end the episode I I feel like I feel like this is a good place to end I don’t Plan on doing a spider spawner right now so I think I think we’ll just call it there all right guys well I’ve cleaned up this area a little bit went ahead and uh added the lava to the walls I smelted I smelted quite a bit of stone That way I could finish finish up the walls like right there but yeah I think that’s going to be the end of episode one let me know what you guys thought if you like this series if I should continue yeah I’m I’m glad things went so well this this episode I’m glad I Found the diamond so quickly that really helped out because uh I know in my regular world I have been mining so much lately and I feel like I never find diamonds so I feel like that was really lucky but anyways yeah that that is about it thanks for watching I hope you Enjoyed maybe subscribe if you aren’t and uh I’ll see you Video Information
