JWhisp – Imperial SMP – Beginnings of a New SMP! | Minecraft 1.17 Survival

Hey guys what’s up j wisp here and welcome to episode one of a really special type of video now for the four years that i’ve been on youtube i do not have a single video on my channel where i have collaborated with another youtuber but today that all changes because today i joined

Imperial smp now if you watch my channel you’re most likely familiar with other smps such as hermitcraft legacy smp or the new empires smp i would say this smp is fairly similar to that one we have a lot of content creators very similar to me where we’re just normal survival build

Tutorial type minecraft youtubers but there are some other type of content creators in here we have some big content creators some fairly new to the platform so we have a really nice mix of people now for the first episode on imperial smp we got a lot done actually

We made a wild western themed town we just got started on it but it looks really good i also finally got the replay mod because people have been bugging me for it and i was fortunately able to make some really awesome time lapses around seven or eight minutes into the

Video so if you could at least check those out i would really appreciate it to let me know if you guys enjoy that and want to see more in the future now this server is absolutely awesome we have lots of really cool people on it everyone will be linked down below i

Definitely recommend you check out everyone else’s video but yeah i’m super stoked just to finally be playing with other people this won’t take away from the other series i have on my channel but will only add to them because i’ll be able to get more inspiration from other people

Now the last thing i want to mention before we get into today’s video is this smp does have the proximity chat mod which means the closer i get to someone the louder my voice becomes and the farther away i am from someone the quieter my voice becomes

Now this will make for some really awesome and funny story elements but also this makes for some really funny moments in the server no we’re not doing another intro yeah we’re just starting now and everyone can be like everyone say hi everyone jump up say hi and then let’s go on our own

I don’t i don’t have it but i’ve got ocd so like the circle needs to be perfect stand there [Laughter] okay this is perfect this is a nice like i like it okay are we good yep okay yep hello everyone welcome to imperial smp here we have jersey boy supermcgregs caymond ec2727

Your boy rake jim duggar j whis python nash crafter fix it tootsie and easyhd everyone say hello hello who’s excited for this everyone everyone everyone i’m so excited are we getting started with a speedrun three two one go oh okay go go go jim help me out

Okay so here we are day one in the imperial smp and i’m super excited the introduction was really quick we just wanted to really get going the first day and get started with everything but i’m super excited like i talked about a little bit in the intro

Uh we have a lot of really talented content creators with us not everyone’s on right now but we’ll also have most likely some people joining us later on in the season we have a lot of people that have been in other s ps we have some people that

Have been in hermitcraft some people that have been in legacy s p and this is another smp with just a bunch of survival build type youtubers plus a few more so i think it’s a really good bunch of people what i’m trying to go to

Now is i’m trying to make my way to the mesa biome we have the seat of the world and i don’t know where too much is but i do know where a mesa biome is and what i’m going to do is in this area i’m thinking

We’re going to have our little town be a wild west themed town there’s also a roomed nether portal around here so i want to get the loot from that i think it’ll be really good and so i think it should be pretty cool we also do have the replay mod i’m finally using

The replay mod so i’ll be able to make some pretty cool build time lapses for you but what i’m gonna do is i’m gonna look around and try to find a nice area to make this i think what we’ll do today is just make maybe like two or three little small

Wild west themed building maybe one will be like our starter house one will be a little storage area i’m not sure that’s what i’m thinking in my head uh and then we also have that little microphone at the bottom left and that is proximity chat that’s gonna be really fun for doing

Different things with different people maybe different lore based things in the server i think it’ll be really cool and it’ll make for some really funny moments some really funny stuff is already happening off camera so i’m excited to see where it goes but what we’re gonna do raid this portal

And then i’ll probably go out and grab myself some materials so that we can make this wild west themed town i already have a little bit but i don’t really have any food or anything like that so hopefully there’s something good in this chest i haven’t looked in this chest before i

Have no idea but maybe there’ll be some good loot for us let’s see let’s check it out anything i’ll take anything no not really but i’ll still take the chest it’s okay maybe we can light this portal up and we can be the first to the nether

That might be a pretty cool achievement but let’s get ourselves some starting resources you know some wood stone things like that isn’t a mine shaft over there oh it is i saw the dark oak fence okay there’s a mine shaft over there i think we’ll make ourselves a pickaxe

Head inside that mine shaft maybe find some good stuff but it’s also getting dark out and i don’t have any food so i need to be careful okay so i think this is the area i want to build around what we’ll probably do is work on flattening this whole area

Out all this sand and then we’ll also probably build a bit up here this is going to be a pretty big s p with a decent amount of people and so i really need to look impressive i need to make builds that look really good so we’re going to get our little starting

Area here get ourselves sort of situated get ourselves some food i hunted a lot of fish we also have some iron and so what i’ll probably do is make myself an iron axe and collect a ton of wood there’s a forest over there and then there’s

Also a tiger biome i think right over there so we can get ourselves spruce wood so we’ll have spruce and oak wood to work with which is going to be good for building a house i think eventually i want this entire lower area to just be like a giant wild west town

Who knows maybe we’ll even get other people to live with us in the future all right i’ve gathered what i hope has enough wood i waited until my pickaxe broke and i gathered all the wood i could however just in case that’s not enough especially for the spruce wood

I did create a small little tree farm over here i just periodically placed some saplings so that we can get some wood growing in case this isn’t enough but what i’m gonna do is start working on my starter house starter base area it’s gonna be maybe like a small little house like i

Talked before and i want this whole area to be wild west theme i think that would be a really cool theme for our town so i’m going to use the replay mod to make a little time lapse for you guys and i’ve never done something like this

Before so if you enjoy it definitely let me know down below in the comments and i’ll do more replay mod content in the future more time lapses like this with music and stuff and i will also link the mod down below in case any of you guys want to use it All right so here is my first little build i’m not sure i’m completely finished i might do a little bit more detail work but i think it looks really cool and definitely gives off those western vibes lots of spruce wood oak wood and i also put some oak wood

Periodically inside of the spruce wood to give it a bit of a weathered and almost sort of worn down look let me add some shutters on the back here but i think it looks pretty good and so what i’m going to do is build one or two more of these little buildings

Since they’re not going to be that big so they can’t fit a lot i need to make many of them to be able to actually be worth anything but i think it looks pretty good the next one i’m probably going to build out of mostly oak since i’m pretty much

Out of spruce but looks pretty awesome and hopefully the oak one turns out just as nice we’ll have a lot of these buildings lined up all the way throughout here and once we’re done this wild western themed town is gonna look great All right and here we have the second building completed i think it looks pretty good i lied about mostly using oak for the second one because i realized i’m pretty much out of both woods i barely have any left thankfully we do have some trees growing over here

So we’re in good shape but i think these two definitely look pretty good we had a little bit of a mishap with the sand and i had to repair it but no biggie i’ll work on fixing that in the future but for now i think this looks pretty good and i

Think this is a definitely a good start to our village i think once we’re all done with all of this and really get things you know started and going in this world uh it’s going to look pretty good but for now this wild west theme looks pretty good i think what i’ll do

In the future also is make some bigger builds and what we can do is actually use banners and put letters on top of banners to make them look pretty good and keep having houses like this i think i also want to continue the theme of having some weathered blocks like

Putting spruce in with the oak and putting oats and oak in with the spurs and i might also just leave some holes in some of the buildings maybe put some cobwebs around here give it more of an abandoned western town vibe i don’t know maybe i won’t want it abandoned maybe i

Want it to be thriving and bustling with bunch of people and trade we’re not too far from spawn we are a couple hundred blocks away from spawn but once we get the nether portals and nether highways up and running it won’t be too hard to get here so i

Definitely think this is a great start and these two houses look pretty good what i’ll probably do is just plop my bed in one of them and plop my materials in one of them stuff like that because i’m gonna actually use them as my house use it as my base

So i think we should be all set to do that let’s see the second one’s a bit bigger and it actually has a door so i think i’ll use this one as my actual sort of house slash base and the other one uh can just be maybe like a storage room

Like i have some barrels around here i might actually leave stuff in the barrels maybe i’ll put some you know a bunch of barrels and a bunch of chests in here and just have it be a big storage area i don’t know i might also have a shop i

Think i want to do that have a shop somewhere around here most of my shops are gonna be around spawn and stuff like that you know to sell to other players but like i said we’re not too far away from spawn so we can still build stuff here

And have a piece seen by the players what’s nice about having all those mine shafts nearby is i have tons of rails so maybe i’ll just make like a rail system a highway or maybe you know some kind of roller coaster leading all the way from spawn to my

House it would be a couple hundred blocks but it wouldn’t be that hard to do i could easily do it underground or maybe in the sky and have it overlooking my town i think that would look really cool or maybe it’ll be underground but then it’ll come above ground on this hill

Go over this mountain and take you to the entrance of the village i don’t know though i’m just brainstorming ideas if you guys have any ideas as to what you want to see me do in this let’s play let me know well it’s not really let’s

Play it’s more of you know an smp but i’ve never done this before i haven’t done many collaborations but i’m collaborating with a lot of other youtubers who you know build and make farms for a living so i’m doing the same thing they do and so

I would be nice to be able to finally be able to collaborate with people and bounce ideas off of people and i’m sure working together we can all make some pretty dang awesome builds okay so now that the houses are done and we’re settled into this world

I have some materials here i have some torches some tools and a little bit of food but i don’t have a ton and so what i want to do is i want to go out and i want to see if we can get ourselves not only a little bit of food

But a nice place to mine a lot of people on the server have already found diamonds or gotten themselves you know full iron full diamond armor stuff like that and so i feel like i’m a little bit behind and so i want to see if i can find myself maybe a nice ravine

Or something like that and get myself tons of ores hopefully diamonds but if we at least get some iron that’ll be a good start for today’s episode also like i said earlier in the episode uh if you guys enjoyed those time lapses let me know down below

I’m still really new with uh you know figuring all those out so i’m sure they’ll become better in the future but if you want to see more of those on my channel or more of them in general let me know because i think they’re pretty fun to make

But uh yeah let me know basically i’m gonna try to conserve food as much as i can but all i’m doing is uh pretty much digging straight down i don’t know how well this is gonna work i’m doing this little uh two block method just to be safe normally i’m

Totally okay with digging straight down but since i don’t have any armor or golden apples or much food i want to play it safe i guess that also means i don’t have much to lose if i die but i’d still rather be safe than sorry especially since

This is a server not just a survival world and uh i really don’t want to embarrass myself in front of a bunch of minecraft youtubers so let’s just keep making our way straight down and eventually what’s our y level at we are at y level 28. i’m going to make my way to

Around y level 11 or 12 and then we’ll do my classic best method of finding diamonds by turning on our subtitles and trying to find some caves and once we find caves at such a low y level it’s usually fairly easy to find diamonds oh looks like i just found

Myself a little lava pool digging towards the lava sounds i don’t have a water bucket so we have to be very very careful but let’s see if maybe there’s some goodies for us down here i don’t know i’m also fairly close to spawn so it might be hard to uh

Get oh and there we go our first diamonds i was gonna say we’re close to spawn so it might be fairly hard to get in on some of the oars but looks like uh we’re in luck now the reason i brought some wood with me as well as a furnace

Was just for that same scenario in case my pickaxe broke i wanted a way to get out i wanted to make sure i was safe so we can always make ourselves a new pickaxe if we need to but for diamonds i mean that’s pretty dang good that’s

Enough for a diamond pickaxe and that’s pretty much essential when starting off now what i’d like to at least leave this cave with or leave mining with is enough iron for a full set of iron armor so that’s about 24 iron as well as a little bit for maybe another pickaxe or two

An axe a sword stuff like that any diamonds i get is uh it’s pretty much just a bonus and then i will be collecting some redstone normally don’t collect a lot of redstone in my normal single-player survival let’s plays but uh since this is multiplayer i have plans for a lot of fun

Shops and mini games and uh traps pranks stuff like that and a lot of those is gonna actually involve me doing some redstone for the first time in my life so it’s gonna be a learning process but it’s also going to be really fun doing some redstone so let’s keep

Exploring oh we got some gold okay let’s keep exploring around and seeing what kind of goodies this cave has some more iron don’t mind if i do okay i’m slowly slowly here getting myself geared up this is melting some iron while i’m doing a bit of mining uh let’s see what

I want to do next let’s go for the helmet and then also the boots now we have found something pretty interesting uh i use my subtitles to find caves like i said and i’ve been digging towards a lava noise so i know that there’s lava nearby which is usually an indication that

There’s a cave so i have these weird windy tunnels and this is just me looking at my subtitles and looking in the direction you see those lava pops are and i mine in the direction they come from and it’s led me to about here so i think

We’re close a lot of these places where i’ve placed cobblestone is where the lava has seeped through so right now i’m trying to get myself above the lava so we can actually see what’s our y level okay we’re at y level 25 a bit too high for diamonds and uh looks like unfortunately

It’s not a good lava pole just a small lava pole no diamonds too high up for diamonds too sometimes you get lucky like i did before and sometimes you don’t so time to keep mining in a straight line until i find myself a cave okay i think it’s time to make myself

Another pickaxe but we have something kind of interesting going on so let’s also get ourselves some pants and uh i guess also a sword because why not so i’ve been mining straight but then i came back here to this furnace and for a brief second i saw like water noises water

Coming from this direction so let’s see if maybe there’s a cave over here because lava sometimes means caves more often than not it does but sometimes it doesn’t but water uh water almost always means caves so if there’s water noises going on it means that there’s probably a cave

Nearby so let’s see i’m not maybe it wasn’t this direction maybe it was that direction oh there there goes water flows so the way you can tell the direction is because the sound is kind of gray and it also has arrows and the arrow will go away when you’re facing the direction the

Sound is coming from think oh okay there’s some lava too thankfully i do have surround zone headphones so it makes it a lot easier for me to actually hear oh yes okay we got water and there’s obsidian so that means there’s a cave and uh what’s our y level

Our y level is why 11 so perfect for diamonds let’s mine around here and see if we can find ourselves any diamonds let’s get in here yo oh yes there we go okay diamonds and redstone and lapis this is awesome okay sweet so let’s see how many

Diamonds we get on mine all the way around to make sure we can get as many as physically possible and then redstone i think i’m doing pretty good on redstone but i’ll still grab it and then we’ll also grab the lapis because i don’t think i have any yet

Uh and then let’s see let’s grab that boom we got ourselves some lapis too okay pretty successful let’s actually let’s do this just so it’s a little bit faster mining lapis because it’s taking a while let’s see we’re at we’re at nine diamonds first day in this world

And we’re at nine diamonds already i think i think that’s pretty successful let’s go up here see if there’s anything else for us was that a mine shaft hold on if that was an abandoned mine shaft this might be oh yes this might be one of the best starts yes

Okay so let’s grab all of this uh if you hear my voice is sounding a little weird that is because i am a tiny bit sick right now so it’s hard for me to like yell and talk a lot but okay this is a great start i can collect everything

I just have to be careful because i cannot lose where i am i need to remember where i am i guess i can always just build back up to the surface but uh maybe i should grab my iron in that minecart first where did i where

Did i just come from i came from up here let’s go back not the minecart the furnace let’s go back and grab my iron and then we’ll come back to this abandoned mine shaft oh yeah this is gonna be awesome so i guess now it’s just uh time to explore this abandoned mine

Shaft this is a really good find on our first episode let me actually screenshot the coordinates there i have them screenshotted just so i can make my way back here in case i ever want to uh and all the ores only make it better the copper is going to be really awesome

Copper is going to be really valuable on this server i think because i think 1.17 a lot of people are going to want to build with copper and so maybe making a copper shop or at least selling it might be uh it might be kind of beneficial i also have to be careful

Uh i’m taking a lot of damage here maybe i should make myself a shield okay i think we’re good i don’t know how i got damaged that first time i think there was just a little bit of server lag but let’s keep looking through here seeing if we can find ourselves any more

Of those chests because sometimes they can have a lot of really good loot who knows we might find ourselves some diamonds in there some name tags awesome things like that let’s uh let’s light that up again screenshot the chords of this maybe we can make ourselves a cave spider xp farm

Uh i know people already have plans to make an enderman xp for him so uh not sure if my tiny little cave spider xp farm would do much in comparison to that but you know couldn’t hurt all right let’s keep exploring here this is really awesome

This is a great find on the first episode i’m really happy we got this uh okay what’s our iron look okay i think we have enough iron for now i really just want to kind of like explore this place and then get out because i don’t want to spend too much

Time in here i want to get back to my village i want to make some chests and uh i don’t know i don’t want to spend the entire episode mining i mean i know the episode is uh pretty much you know the beginning of it is already over but let’s see let’s try

To make our way through here and just see what kind of good loot we can get i’m mostly focused on trying to get myself a lot of the good loot come on i can dodge this skeleton’s bull it’s okay maybe i can’t we can try our best

I’m gonna try to make myself a shield let’s see uh boom and then shield i know i need iron and i need wood okay perfect we got ourselves the shield i know people always yell at me for not using a shield so it’s probably best that i made one

And then let’s keep exploring around here i am also running low on food that’s the other thing are you gonna shoot okay so i am running lawn food like i said so that’s the other thing we have to be careful about because if i run out of food i’m uh

Pretty much screwed if mobs hurt me i’m not gonna be able to regenerate and also i won’t be able to sprint home so it’ll take me a long time to get home let’s be careful here let’s let’s mine down to the second layer i guess anything down here anything not really okay

We’ll come back for that copper in one sec we’ll be back we’ll be back i promise i want to finish exploring this higher layer first really fast uh just to see if there’s anything worth getting oh is this a this is a cave oh i think this leads to an entirely new cave

Maybe maybe not uh oh okay the mineshaft’s a little bit on fire here let’s see oh okay this is a this is a huge mine shaft okay i guess i’ll just explore around and let you guys know if i find anything interesting well i definitely found something interesting because over here

Uh there’s just a massive geode inside of this mine shaft now uh the interesting thing is these torches around here i didn’t place so that means that someone has been here before but i’ll put the coordinates up screenshot these and uh yeah i’m definitely gonna keep these for future use because

I don’t know how someone’s been here before i thought this was like sort of my area but then again like i was saying before this is pretty close to spawn so if anyone found any other entrance to this mine shaft they could have easily had access to

This geode if they just explored the whole mine shaft but the whole thing wasn’t explored because where i entered no one else had been before but looks like uh looks like we’re just one of the lucky ones i’ll collect a lot of these uh shards oh i wasn’t even collecting them

I’ll try to collect a lot of these shards if i can uh you know they’re just fun to have but i’ll definitely come back here maybe we’ll even make an amethyst shard farm in the future but for now i think we’re uh i think we’re good and it’s time to probably

Head back to my base well night time is upon us and not only does it conclude the day in minecraft but it concludes our first day on this server and i think i think it was a success we have this beautiful start to our wild west town sort of a wild

West starter house it’s two houses but uh you know i’m living in both of them we definitely though are pretty stacked even though it’s only episode one despite our lack of food we still have a decent amount of auras tons of gold tons of iron tons of copper

And a decent amount of diamonds so let’s take these diamonds and make ourselves always the first thing we got to make is a pickaxe and then after that i think we’ll go for the sword and then we’ll save the last few diamonds so perfect we can use two of those

For an enchantment table i have some sugar cane already i have some leather already we’ll just need to get ourselves some obsidian so i think what i’m gonna do is also probably start and end these episodes using shaders as well as doing time lapses and shaders but the

Rest of it will be without shaders just because i think shaders aren’t necessarily the best to play with but are definitely a good option just to have to show off builds but lots of collabs to come lots of fun to come lots of streams everything like that so

If you’re excited make sure to leave a like on this video and comment let me know your thoughts about this video i definitely appreciate your support on this one especially your support because i’ve been really sick lately and i appreciate you guys for bearing with me with a weird upload schedule but that’s

All for this one my name is j wisp and i will see you guys all in the next one
