Let’s Play Minecraft Hardcore | The Village Wall! Episode 3

Hello everyone and welcome to minecraft hardcore we have a predicament today but first some happy news i asked you all to name these cats and you certainly did there were so many good ideas which i’m sure i’ll get to use because there’s so many cats around here but these kitties

Are named romeo and juliet isn’t that just the cutest when i saw that name it just made me smile and that’s such a good name suggestion thank you so much romeo and juliet you are gorgeous now on to the more unfortunate news today the next step for us to do to get more

Prepared is obviously go underground and we need diamonds but that’s usually how people die in hardcore like if you’re gonna die it’s it’s a creeper it’s gonna one-shot you right at the start i realize there’s a 50 chance of getting diamonds from a buried treasure now this is big because we already have

One diamond and we already have obsidian which means we can get enchanting without ever going underground assuming we get lucky enough right like we we can make that work so because there’s a 50 chance we’ve already looted one buried treasure that had nothing in it we should only have dilute like one

Or two more to find that extra diamond that we need so we’re gonna start off today by heading out to another sunken ship i don’t know if this is smart or just really really wimpy but it’s a hardcore world and i feel like i can’t really be shamed for playing wimpy right

Like i i would like to keep the world so i feel like using my brain to do everything other than die is somewhat commendable if you’re watching this series to see someone take a million risks and see if they can live this is not the one it’s just i’m not

That person i’m so sorry i have discovered our first shipwreck that we have not yet been in so let’s hope that there’s a buried treasure in there all right and we go oh this is easy ah there we go okay we got a buried treasure map

That is exactly what we needed but let’s continue on just in case there’s more popping through here okay leather tunic some suspicious stew nothing that notable but i’ll take it all right now all i have to do is figure out this map so we need to go east

Pretty much just east so east is literally straight this way let’s do it gosh i’ve never in my life seen this much coral like if any of you have tried this seat have you ever seen this much coral cause i just can’t i can’t get over it it’s

So much aha it looks like it’s gonna be this island right up here perfect unfortunately for me this x is in the water right about here oh dear it’s deep okay i got this not gonna lie i’m struggling quite a lot to find this one

Oh i found it i found it oh and it has a diamond yes the 50 rule worked perfectly in my favor all right that’s just pretty much all that i needed that’s actually amazing wow it would be real i had to take a lot to find this one i just

Wasn’t on my a game today not a pirate not feeling it did successfully get the loot though so it doesn’t matter right now it’s time to head back in over this coral reef and find my way home i think the best thing about all of this coral

Is there’s so many sea pickles so things are really bright and i haven’t really been seeing any drowned normally going out like this in hardcore i’d have to be so worried about drowned with tridents but not really seeing anybody around here it’s actually oddly peaceful i am

Home now and we can officially do some crafting so i already have a book ready and made and i am aware that i’m not going to be able to perfectly do this like i obviously cannot right now at this moment get an entire full enchanting setup but i can still

Make good use of what i have and get some good level 1 enchantments so let’s go ahead and craft our very first enchanting table oh this is so exciting i love it now obviously i don’t really need a whole spot for an enchanting table right now so i’m gonna just lay it

Down here and let’s take off my armor i’m gonna leave the boots because they have a good enchantment on them and put this in projectile protection should i get that oh protection one i think protection might be a better general enchant so i’m gonna go with that perfect we got the advancements

We’re gonna go protection one again and protection one again perfect we officially have enchanted iron armor i know this is not crazy or anything like that but it’s a heck of a lot better than nothing now that we have this i feel much better about our future down

In the mines so i suppose that’s what we should do next all right kitties wish me luck it’s time to go mining oh my gosh i think i’m mentally prepared for this i just have to remember to use my shield i’m really bad at using my shield we’re

Gonna go down by the way kind of straight down to diamond level because to be honest i pretty much have a lot of iron at the moment so i really just need oh do i have my bucket i do i really just need to go down to where the

Diamonds are and hope that i can get those there is a cave right here and this is at why 39 so this might be an okay place to start i’m not sure but i’m gonna at least get a look at the cave so that i can

At least get safe i would love to not spend too much time in caves if i don’t absolutely have to because it is really risky these are the parts that you need to watch out for because they’re they’re dark and it’ll fall on your head

And it’s just a bad time all around all right so far though this is pretty doable to be honest this is fine cool there’s a creeper sorry bat perfect and some gold let’s just make sure that nothing is yet okay cool cool let’s grab the gold one piece

Rude all right it’s fine this cave is going upwards which is not exactly what i want and yeah it ends right here so that’s perfect that just means that i can continue mining straight downwards right after i get this iron though so just to make this make sense i am

Going to just fill in the wall so that nothing can fall on me in my mind just like so and it will continue down i’m kind of enjoying this method of mining to be honest it’s nicer than making a staircase and eventually we’ll be able to have elevators up and down

Into our minds plus we’re getting so much cobble so here’s what i have for a mine so far basically we’ll drop down to this area over here obviously i’ll have to have a pillar of some form right here to have the ladder on we can have different layers above it if we’d like

Them maybe access to the cave to stop off and then we’ll have these kind of four areas in here and i’ll probably put some barrels right here or furnaces or just some type of system for me to kind of work down here i think that’ll kind of be great for me

Now the main job is to just keep digging i’m not sure if i’m going to push to find diamonds in this episode it’s something that i need to work towards but i’m not going to force myself to strip mine for hours and hours and hours if it’s just not happening in one

Particular day i do however really enjoy doing this because i get some cobblestone which i’m going to need in order to protect my villagers which i should be keeping an eye on the sun because we’re so close to the village down here i’m afraid that the zombies are gonna

Come and convert my villagers while i’m down here in the mines which i don’t want that to happen returning for my first successful mining trip now to come back up to the village and do a little bit of work i find breaking up mining can be helpful i mean

Caving is pretty exciting but strip mining like that with an iron pickaxe with no efficiency on it a little less exciting not gonna lie so it’s time for a break for our first trip down though we did collect a fair amount of stuff i mean it’s nothing crazy but look at all this

Cobble while i’m on this break i’m going to take some time to chop down some wood and see if i can’t start getting the village kind of protected i think it’s about that time i mean every time night comes i have to like faithfully sleep to

Make sure that no zombies get at these villagers because well i’ve not really protected them i’ve not barred them in houses or done anything like that so i think we kind of need to make them at least a little bit safe and now that we’ve done some mining we have some

Cobbles so that we can kind of get started on that okay so first things first i’m going to try to connect this entire village perimeter together with a wall and i think i’m going to start with a very basic wall kind of coming out from this one that i have here we’re

Going to do it one block tall to start which i know is not an actual wall but it’s just in order for me to kind of map out the shape of it and not actually any of the details of it so literally just gonna mark out exactly

The path that i want this wall to take we’ll do a little diagonal moment over here just to show off and then i think we can go straight this way so one of the main things that i want to do here is actually something that i’ve

Never done before i want to kind of upgrade this village over time so oh dear oh my gosh um um i should maybe cover this hole the villagers are gonna die here what the heck okay uh but anyways i don’t know what i was talking about i i’ve

Never stayed in an area before and actually given upgrades like in the survival world that i have at the moment i’ve pretty much stuck to the build that i have and kept it pretty much as it was when i started as opposed to upgrading it but what if in this series i slowly

Upgraded this into like a proper like hardcore survival base that nothing can ever get into and we’re completely safe in i think that’d be kind of fun for now though it’s hard to think too far into the future because we’re not even very well protected and at any moment i could

Literally just die so let’s work on that i am gonna go around this farm down here i’m gonna have it so the villager can get to it maybe eventually but i just i’d like to have it not be a giant square i kind of want my buildings

To have some shape or my castle wall area thing to have some shape this is perfect i feel like i’ve got the perfect shaped village here for this sort of thing this didn’t even take that much cobble and i’m already back to dandelion hill here you know i could probably go around

Dandelion hill but yeah there we go hang on let me get a better view of what’s going on there we go so this is my domain my village my castle eventually that’s the wall i i think that works it encases every house without the houses being changed yet

Eventually i will transform this place but for now this is pretty cool we have some farms on the outside that we can decorate up and it’ll be safe for us to go on the outskirts of the wall but this is basically the first layer of wall to

Just keep the villagers in we can we can do more later if we survive that long but yeah this is great so now comes the next part of this adventure which involves actually building the wall and making it functional and now while today i don’t

Think the wall is going to get very big i do think we should at the very least get some fence or maybe some actual wall blocks of this cobble just to make it at the very least functional and we also need to make sure that the inside is lit up

While i’m in the area hello tree i think it’s a good idea for me to probably just pop my head down here before i cover this up and just see what baddies could possibly spawn um i’m scared oh there’s lots of iron though and coal ah i’ve never seen that many creepers in

One place bro this is hardcore we can’t be doing this no no no i’m all right i’m okay actually no i’m good thank you all right this was a good chat i’m really glad we did this yep returning to the surface okay i actually just think that it would be

Better for everyone involved if we forgot that this existed for a while um you know the foreseeable future just it’s not here that’s nope no thank you i’m okay now in order to keep this villager down here on the inside for now i am just gonna i’m gonna move your

Composter i’m so sorry i know you’re gonna have to share a firm for a little bit but don’t worry i’m putting it back it’s just it’s gonna be in here there there we go it’s it’s in there you can oh okay you have your little crisis it’s

Okay um i’m gonna build a wall also i’m not sure how iron golem birth works but we have three iron golems now hello fellas thank you so much i don’t plan on messing with them they hang around the city center they’re great to be honest love it so

We’re gonna plan this to be a gate at some point this will it’ll be a gate i don’t know how yet but it will and so basically what i’m gonna do is just the exact same thing that i did to my own base just a really basic wall

Just all along here super simple nothing crazy but it should do the trick and then we just run along with fences obviously speaking i will upgrade this i’m aware that it’s not the best design in the world but it gets the job done for today okay it’s only episode three i

Don’t even have diamonds yet i ain’t got time to be building a massive wall it’s got to be functional over beauty i’ve never heard myself say that before but there’s always a time for something new it’s fine isn’t that just the most perfect wall it’s perfect does the job very awesome i

Approve i like it nitwit i’ma need you to get inside the castle please although i really am not gonna care if you decide not to to be honest iron golem get off my wall i was just complimenting you don’t start with me okay don’t test me i’m building a wall it’s very intense

All right so far so good the only problem area at the moment is this one where it kind of tucks down but to be honest i think i’m just gonna break my own rule and kind of start filling this almost completely in with cobblestone i

Don’t know if this is a good idea or not but we’re gonna see we’ll find out the hard way it’s fine well if i do say so myself this has been a very successful wall building project it’s not completely safe but it’s better than it was so it’s time to light it up

Fortunately for me though i don’t have very much coal so it’s back in the mines you’ll get used to me being super distracted if you’re new here don’t worry it’s fine anyways back on track the easiest way for me to get coal is just to be down in these surface level

Caves and see if i can’t just get some really basic stuff right off the bat here as i tend to avoid coal for some reason i’m never one of those people who has the patience to mine out a whole vein of coal i just i wish i was

But i’m not luckily for me though we do have lots of caves down here that yep we haven’t explored good nice love creepers they really just make me so happy okay this is a pretty big cave system actually i’m really impressed with this so what i

Do when i’m going through caves to make myself the most amount of safe is just run through them really quickly make sure that everything is lit up and there’s no surprise areas like this area right here and then i’ll go back through and grab the iron and coal that i see

And i won’t do that until i know that it’s fairly safe and nothing can get to me while i’m mining i’m just mentioning that because sometimes i get comments like ah you missed the iron you missed all the iron but it really it was just a

Clip of me like kind of running through the cave speedrunning it so that i could light it up ah this is so easy we are already at 38 coal honestly such a nice resource to get i can’t wait until we have fortune though it’ll be so much better to come and get

It i almost want to wait to get wars like this until we have fortune because i just know that we’re gonna be able to like double or triple our supply but regardless we’re not there yet so i need some coal in this moment all right and just like that a full

Stack of coal that was surprisingly painless now all i have to do is make a whole bunch of torches heck yeah and i don’t think i’m going to do this with any amount of logic i’m literally just going to spam torches on this whole area

And hope that i don’t miss a spot you know what i’ll probably let it go night for like a second just to see if i miss a spot that could be a good tactic gosh i haven’t kept a village safe in survival mode in so long normally i’m

Like ah whatever you guys can fend for yourselves but i feel like it’s important here because they can give me some really good stuff like enchanted books mending early on amazing emerald trades like there’s so much power here all right to be honest i think that’s enough torches

I think i’ve really gone a bit overboard here but that’s okay you know what we need a lot and i’ll do a couple on the outside as well just to be extra safe all right with that taken care of i’m gonna do a little bit of terraforming out here and

Just get rid of this dirt it’s driving me nuts that it’s not super flat and i’m gonna make it a little bit flat so that we can actually work with the torino here now while we’re on the topic of villagers and villager trading i think that we’ve missed out on an important

Opportunity here we haven’t really been taking proper advantage of it and that is farming we have not been doing very much farming have we and it’s really important to do a bunch of farming because it means that we can trade with all of these farmer villagers so i have

Some pumpkins gathered here and they’re definitely going to be the easiest way because we can eventually once we get redstone make automatic farms but it’s also going to be important just to generally expand everything we have so that we can take advantage of everything that’s farmable this sugarcane area for

Example is super tiny but it’s so effective and i should probably get around to feeding my cows again so that we can get some leather for that enchanting setup speaking of the enchanting setup romeo and juliet i have a question everyone um is it better do you think if i wait to

Get diamonds until i have fortune because let’s be honest i could get fortune like i can there’s nothing stopping me here i could get fortune i have paper i have some leather the only thing that i need to do is breed my cows a little bit more to get a bit more

Leather and then i could have a full enchanting setup i don’t have a ton of lapis yet but you know there’s a chance that i could get fortune here do i do it do i take that chance do i work towards enchanting before i work towards diamonds so that i can maximize

The amount of diamonds that i get i don’t know i’ve never really had this opportunity before so i’ve never had to think about it hello sheep would you like some as well there you go hello sir do you mind if i use your services for a moment

I love that they’re just climbing in and out of this window this is a mistake in my base right here so i need a window frame here first of all but also you can kind of get in and drop down from over here so i just need to replace these

Slabs with dark oak fences and it would completely fix this issue i just haven’t done it yet i’m always sleeping through the night so it hasn’t been a concern but it’s really funny to me that the villagers use it right so i have some leather on me let’s just see

How many books this can get me so it gives me 28 books which is nine bookshelves that’s an incredible start how many do we need for enchanting wait let me google it oh wondering trader excuse me sir what do you have to sell nothing to be honest nothing at all um i

Really wish that they would buff your trades a little bit because it’s it’s a little sad i’m not gonna lie okay i googled it you only need 15 bookshelves for full enchanting so you know what we’re gonna do it we’re gonna get full enchanting today first things first

Though i would really like to just go ahead and get a farm of some form going so i’m gonna plant some pumpkins along here and then also some wheat the villagers are farming wheat and they’re doing a great job of it but i just would

Like to have my own stash and i think eventually having automatic farms for all of this is definitely gonna be the move i’m just not there yet chopping down some wood so that we can make some room ah we’re getting so many amazing supplies this is probably the most

Prepared i’ve ever felt for a minecraft let’s play to be honest like we’re getting enchanted that’s never happened to me before that’s insane all right now all i have to do is whoop chop down some wood ah for gonna sink i’m just gonna make another crafting

Table to keep out here you know what extra crafting tables never hurt anybody all right just clearing some grass so that i can hopefully get a whole bunch of seeds from this all right time to get planting some wheat i love this farming phase of the game ah

To be honest i could just sit in minecraft and farm trees and cobble and slowly build up a base oh hi chickens hi yeah i could farm forever chickens i do feel like we could use you you know this wasn’t what i was planning but

Maybe we could make a a place for you um to gather some eggs and things one second chickens oh gosh my inventory how did this happen to me so for chickens i’m not actually super interested in farming them for anything but i think that it would be a good idea

To get kind of a collection system set up for their eggs i’m also fairly lazy though and this is just a temporary thing so i think for now i’m literally just gonna plop them on that harper hopefully this will go fine okay chickens come here come on that’s it that’s it

I’m just gonna hope that they kind of walk in uh can you get in the hole please sit on that hopper right there yeah like that you as well perfect thank you so much it’s been a pleasure doing business i’m not gonna breed these chickens a ton

We’ll just get a little baby chicken there and that’ll be three chickens producing eggs for us basically all that’ll happen here is they will lay an egg it’ll go into the hopper right here and that’s literally all i need eventually i’ll take those eggs and i’ll do something with it we’ll

Be able to make cakes and things like that but we’ll also be able to make a bigger system for the chickens in general and hopefully have a proper coop area anyways now the chickens are out of the way it’s back to planting seeds and sadly cows i do need leather from you so

You might have to do a vanishing act for me so weird how that keeps happening chicken did you hurt that cow weird all right guys here you go here’s some food everybody can have some yup yup my gosh is there a meeting that i didn’t know about

What is happening why are there so many beings in this one spot i actually love it we really need to get this central area built into something cool i think one of the coolest things about villagers is just building them areas to have them work in and have them actually

Use it like it’s so cool to make a build and have the things in the world actually use your build that i don’t know if that’s just me but i really like that about map making this little piece of land right here outside of my area is driving me nuts

That it kind of dips down like this so abruptly so i’m honestly i’m just gonna fill it in look at all the iron you got it’s all smelted oh i just got hurt excuse me i just heard a villager take damage and i uh i don’t know how sir did you take damage

What is going on okay it’s fine it’s fine everybody’s fine but yeah we have look at this look at the iron we haven’t even really been caving and we have so much iron i’m so proud and we have gold to trade with the piglens when we go to the nether ah life

Is good you know what let’s use this empty map and just just want to see whoa it actually does look really cool it looks really busy but you can see the wall going all the way around wait i love it i want to put it in an item

Frame am i gonna waste a piece of leather to put this in an item frame absolutely absolutely i am and i think we can just kind of put it maybe on the table here or maybe we should put it on the wall maybe right here

That’s kind of cute now we can see all of our progress oh i love it well to be honest for the next like hour of my life i’m just gonna be basically farming wheat farming sugar cane and feeding up these cows so i don’t think there’s much more for me

To show all of you in this episode and it’s running pretty long anyways i’m sorry that this episode has been a little bit more scatterbrained you can yell at me in the comments if this is not the type of thing that you like but this is pretty much genuinely how i play

And enjoy the game if i’m doing one thing i can quickly move to another and just generally just do whatever feels right in the moment i was planning on doing a better caving expedition definitely but i don’t know it didn’t really work out like that and i feel like we’re playing it

Very safe which can be considered boring but also if this is going to be a long-term series playing it safe in the early game when we’re really vulnerable is a good idea let me know what you think of everything going on in this world i can’t wait to hear from you i’m

Really enjoying building up this base i hope that you’re enjoying it too thank you so much for all the support in the series and i hope i’ll see you in the next episode don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already after all the seed is subscribe to gemini day bye bye everyone
