Hey guys anthony here and welcome back to another minecraft video and today i’m going to be making a video that is a little bit out of the ordinary but it is a video that i wanted to make nonetheless and it’s sort of about the stuff that I’ve been working on for the past couple of days and as many of you know i have been doing a lot of live streaming over the past couple of days and i’ve been doing it on a server as you guys can see with the whole chat bar and stuff on the Bottom left but uh for warning i’m not going to announce what server this is on in this particular video or at all and i would really appreciate it for those of you who did end up finding out whatsoever i’m on to not announce it in this video or anywhere at all and the Reason why i say that is because when i was doing my live stream the for the very few people who did find out about the server they were spamming it up like crazy and i feel like with the amount of subscribers that i have i at this particular Moment it’s about sixty seven thousand uh if even a percentage of those like one percent landed their way into the server that’s still 670 people and that’s like more than 10 times with the current capacity of the server so i don’t want to cause any problems for the Server because i don’t own it and i don’t want to set up a server of my own because i don’t want to have to deal with the uh the maintenance that goes into it but either way i just wanted to show you guys what i’ve been working on In this particular video as well as talking about some random other stuff as well so yeah as you guys can see i’m on this really giant island with an island over there and i’ll get into that one here in just a second on this really giant Island uh none of this stuff that i made myself but this is the moderator island on this on this particular server and i went on this random expedition a while back where i was just sailing far out and a moderator pm me and said turn right and i landed upon this island and I’m well over 20 000 blocks out to sea on this particular server so it was really kind of amazing that i was only about 100 blocks away like it was only that far out of my distance had i been veering a little bit more right in my Expedition than i would have found this just naturally so it is really kind of cool but anyway so let’s head over here because like i said before this none of this is stuff that i had made over here is the stuff that i had made myself and I made it completely in the vanilla of minecraft and i want to show you guys this today because i’m hoping that even if it inspires one or two of you to you know go big without whatever whatever you want to build in minecraft whatever sort of imagination that you guys have Whatever sort of ideas that you guys have that you pursue it and you could even think about this with anything because uh you know making my videos and the inspiration that has driven me to make these videos you know the the feedback that i get from you guys as Well as the enjoyment and making stuff like this uh you know i hope that i can transcend that uh over to you guys and i think my boat just broke so alrighty then but anyways so yeah i i wanted to talk with you guys about like the inspiration that caused me to make Videos as well as you know showing you guys this whole island so first let’s let’s do with the house uh ant from haas which is complete i started it as like alpha version 1.0 when it was in the side of the hill and throughout this video or actually you know what at the End of the video i’ll have a bunch of screenshots showing you guys the various stages of this because i took a bunch of screenshots as i was making this thing because i’m really sentimental like that and i thought it would be good to remember this by and i’m really glad That i did it so yeah i ended up leveling all of this out to be flat land but i didn’t like that it was completely flat so i added this sort of like mini hills here you know nothing too special but it breaks up the monotony of how flat the land was At the time and i think it turned out really well but anyways onto the main course this observatory thing here was really an original vision that i had for this entire island when i first started i knew basically this is exactly what i wanted To build and i knew that i was going to have a hard time building it which for whatever reason sort of could uh inspired me to continue building it and like i said there’s no real use for this house i would say it’s more or less Purely for the aesthetics and i mean i have a ladder you know from over there coming up all the way up here and you can get a good view of just about everything and all of this is out in the middle of an endless ocean so there Isn’t mainland anywhere near here and i don’t know that just sort of like intrigued me and you know even more into making this there were just so many factors that ended up going together quite well that warranted me building this and you know i couldn’t be happier with the results And this chest is glitched out um it will not close that that is really really weird but anyways so i haven’t completed like everything that i’m gonna do with this house i honestly have no idea what i want to put in this house um you know with the glass floor in here Like everything would have to be built all around this area and i honestly don’t know what to make like this is basically the vision that i had for this house at the time and if we go off to the right here there’s a little pathway and I i kind of made this pathway like this was all covered up before but i have a mine shaft back here and i figured it would be a good idea for it to be somewhat remotely visible from the front area and yeah i like that you know there’s a Pathway pretty much all around the island and it’s not that big really i mean you know there’s just a bunch of trees here mainly used for harvesting wood and all that and it’s really quite awesome what i’m hoping i’m gonna be able to do is uh because this is just a This isn’t the proper version of the server basically when this server went to 1.8 what the server was was just like you could walk around and check out other people’s creations and plots but when 1.8 hit the the admin of the server decided to just have a vanilla map Because they didn’t want to get all the mods running or anything like that until the whole adventure map fiasco had finished up so our adventure map the adventure update fiasco had finished so that’s why they decided to make a vanilla server and i’m really hoping um You know whether or not this could be implemented into the server the main server that they end up putting together uh is to be remained but i’m kind of hoping that i’ll at least be able to get like this particular chunk or something uh for my computer so you so you know i Can have this as a single player map or at least this particular area in a single player map because i’m really really proud of what i have done here so anyways let’s go ahead and take a look at the mine now oh of course it started raining this happens quite a bit And i think the chat’s probably going to start spamming up here because everyone on the server hates when it starts raining and because when it does rain it rains for like 10 minutes so at least i’m glad that a lot of this video got done before it started raining but Anyways so what i wanted to talk about you know as a second topic in this video is what inspired me to make videos and i think it’s appropriate because i just sort of had the same sort of random inspiration to make this like it’s just something got into me and i had this Vision to do it and i couldn’t let up from it so yeah i mean really what inspired him inspired me to make videos it’s there’s a whole ton of things that can you know i could go into as far as the inspiration for me making videos like a Real life friend of me a real-life friend of mine told me about minecraft on the 24th of november of last year and i’ve been playing it ever since or i think he showed me it like a day prior and then i bought minecraft the very Same day and then i made my peaceful map on the 26th now this is a story that i’m sure a lot of you know but uh the part of the story that you guys probably don’t know about have i already gotten lost really i think i did oh no okay Here’s a staircase i should probably make the downstairs area here a little bit easier to find the staircase but anyways i digress but what really got me inspired to make videos is uh well in the middle of march i started making videos but you know i was making them Pretty seldom but what really inspired me is when notch the creator of minecraft and you guys should tweet him and thank thank him for this because he’s the reason that i make videos it’s not just because he made minecraft but because he retweeted one one of my Videos back in mid-april and if you scroll through them the billions of lines of twitter post that that he has you’ll find it it was in like the middle of april he retweeted my uh end of the world video otherwise known as myfarlands video and i was just i don’t know something Got into me i’m like i should make a sequel to this and i made a sequel the next day and i’m like i should start making daily videos and i started making daily videos ever since even when i wasn’t living on my own and i didn’t really have the time to make Them i was still making them and i was still enjoying you know every second of it i just i love the experience the the new the grow the slowly growing fan base and i’ve just been having so much fun with it ever since and i wanna i wonder If there are any of my subscribers out there from mid-april who like remember that happening who remember that video popping up in their subscription box because it’s been so long now it’s been actually it’s like the six month anniversary i think today actually is the six month anniversary of me starting Daily videos so i mean maybe i’ll call this video that maybe i’ll call this video something else i really have no idea what i want to call this video today so yeah i was kind of thinking that i should make like a basement in this house or something but Like you know with the how big the top floor is and how little use i’m able to get out of it i really don’t feel like a basement would be that well unless i decided to make like a mob spawner or something down there but man That would take so long to dig out it would be ridiculous but anyways and something else i wanna i wanna show you guys too before i end up ending off the video is behind the house here like this used to be one giant hill like i said with the screenshots you guys are Gonna see at the end of the video uh you’re gonna see what this whole island looked like for the most part from the very beginning and there was a hill covering this entire thing and this was part of the hill right here and i just i Haven’t found the need to dig up the entire thing i’m thinking that i want to because there’s a giant ocean back there but then again in every direction there’s an ocean so maybe it’s good to break up the monotony of that and have you know this hill right here so i have No idea what i would want to dig this out to in terms of shape anyways thinking maybe i’ll make a beach or something like that with a back door i don’t know who knows if you guys have any ideas uh present them in the comments uh no guarantee that i’ll Follow them or if i’m even gonna be working on this particular area of the map or even visiting the server a whole lot anymore uh i just had a random idea to build this um that the island fit the perfect shape for what i had and i just Decided to go at it and i spent you know a few days working on it so like i said i hope this since this inspires some of you guys to work on you know maybe big projects of your own i know at least this day and age there are plenty of Mods out there that can make you know building stuff like this an absolute breeze but i built all of this on the pure vanilla like the only thing the only thing i took advantage of was teleportation and that was a teleport back to the spawn point in order to Gather sand to gather all of the necessary sand in order to build all the windows because this took a lot of glass it took about 500 pieces of glass in total from the amount that i had to break and all that good stuff but anyways guys wow that was that was Actually a mouthful i said a lot more in this video that i than i thought i was really going to be able to i can’t see the sun because of the stupid rain stupid rain is stupid wow but anyways guys like yeah i hope you guys have enjoyed you know this Particular video what i’ve had to talk about and uh a question of the day i suppose and i’m thinking i might start doing this like a question of the day in my videos at least for the videos that have a definitive ending like for example if it’s a video that has a Continuation uh if it’s not the actual end of the video then i’m not gonna make a question of the day then but i think you know for videos that have a definitive end i might make a question of the day and my question of the day is How do you like to build in minecraft do you like the adventure side do you like the building side what is it about minecraft that you guys enjoy and i made a video about this when i first started making uh videos back in march but i figured with a much bigger audience and You know with it not being a dedicated video solely to that question i figured it would be a great topic to present as like you know a daily question uh for you guys to comment on but anyways guys i hope you guys have enjoyed this particular video my name is ant venom And i bid you all farewell thanks so much for watching you Video Information
