Minecraft 1.17 Hardcore Let’s Play : Starting a New Diamond Mine!

Hey folks whip here and welcome on back to the hardcore minecraft world where we are now in minecraft 1.17 and oh my gosh i am so absolutely excited for this here update check out all of these new auroblocks for example they look so fantastic we now have the ability to get

All the raw ores and everything and it’s gonna be so very very cool i’ve done a little bit of work updating this world and cleaning some things up and i actually recorded it and uploaded a video to my second channel you’ll find it linked down in the

Description about how i am going through the process of updating this entire minecraft world and actually getting the 1.17 stuff as close as inside of the jungle right here even though we’ve explored the chunks and number two here i’m so very excited about this one i’ve got a little bit of

An announcement here for you all hey it’s me and i have a brand new merch line coming out this is supposed to be celebrating 500k subscribers but uh we’re a little beyond that milestone right now if you want to see more on it there are links down in the description

This is only available for a limited time my friend so get it well it is here if you want some thank you all so very much for the support but oh my gosh folks in the last episode we built up this insane stables area and it’s so very cool thank

You all so very much for the support on that one today i wanted to take a little bit of a step back explore the new 1.17 stuff and do a little bit of a building around this area and just keep expanding all of those things but most importantly i want to get moss

Moss is something that we can find on shipwrecks and things like that and then use stone to bonemeal it and those azalea bushes i think are going to look beautiful inside of this world and also if we can find some of the deep slate my plan right over here

Is to change all of the landscape that we’d created with the stone which is why i held off doing it over here i want to change that all the deep slight because i think that contrast is going to be beautiful now i ended up gathering up a little bit

More gunpowder here so we’ve got 38 of them and we’ve got access to the sugarcane inside of here so we can make a few more rockets for ourselves and wait what since when is there a crafting recipe for rockets i thought you always had to put those in there manually

Huh i love 117. now i think the best way that we can find some of these new chunks where we can find some shipwrecks that might have some of those moss blocks because as far as i know that’s the best way to find them and get them unless we see a wandering

Trader so i’m keeping my eyes peeled for those dudes but i want to head over to mooshland and there’s an ocean area next to the raid farm a little bit farther north that we haven’t really explored at all hop skip and jump in a rocket after we get through the nether and we

Are good to go headed straight north right now to hopefully find some new chunks oh it looks beautiful up here this mega tiger biome over here is gorgeous we’re gonna have to come over here and build something eventually that could be a great little cut off from mooshland it’s so close to it

Now for the shipwrecks where are we gonna find some oh right there okay there’s one right in front of us are we gonna get lucky on ship number one carrots i always like carrots and a good amount of wheat okay well not quite that lucky this isn’t even sunken this is a full-on

Floating boat now we are for sure and brand new chunks i’ve never been up here even before deleting everything i never ventured this far away from home so if we find anything out here it will be a 1.17 shipwreck for sure i feel like normally i’m complaining about there being too

Many shipwrecks but i haven’t been able to find any of them well i guess we can at least see what this little drowned shrine has a lure three fishing rod that might be better than the one we have at home oh hi everybody i’m sorry i don’t mean

To be intruding i know this is yours home as i’m saying i didn’t mean to be intruding and i killed them all all right well that happened so touch book though ooh i like that oh my gosh we got our first copper ingot huh we got one off of a drowned drop

That’s amazing buried treasure map wait that could be a huge value where are we going from this point oh it’s way back over that way hmm yeah let’s give it a shot i’m so excited to be in 117 and having a reason to explore the world again

There’s so many new things that we can get access to that we can only get by exploring and oh my gosh do i want all of these new blocks are building they look absolutely gorgeous and we’ve got ourselves some diamonds iron and some gold and a new heart of

The sea that’s more conduits well i guess so we don’t even have one yet but you know the idea is there there we go this is for sure a shipwreck right down here what do we got inside of this here chest moss blocks we got him we got him oh my god that’s

Amazing oh we can finally do it let’s take all the coal can we get anything else down here i think we just need one to jump start an entire farm for ourselves and we’ve got a little bit of iron ooh and an emerald i found a few more sunken ships and

Everything like that but this over here is the most important find of the entire day we have one folks we have one we finally have a coral reef oh we can use the stuff for building i’m so excited i love the coral fans they are amazing they’re so

Good to work with i’m gonna take a few sea pickles home and actually some of those coral too so we can use that to maybe breed up some more sea pickles i do love these guys i’ve got a little bit of a journey ahead of myself here

Though to get back home but we’ve got pretty much everything we need for moss blocks should be enough to get ourselves started with a farm we’ve got little bits of coral all over the place and it’s gonna be so good i got base now and i’ve seen probably a hundred comments

Asking what the heck those things are flying up in the sky and i’ll be honest i just got bored and built them they’re little birds that’s that’s the whole story behind them they are birds and they are just flying that way towards the castle i don’t know but what

I think i do know is we gotta head here underground all the way down in here in the mines and if we find ourselves a flat area with a bunch of stone down on the ground i think we put the moss blocks down in the middle of all of

It and then we just bone meal the moss block like this oh my god it does work you even get grass you get mossy carpet oh look at that it’s beautiful but then it does turn it does turn the stone into moss so that’s that’s cool though we got look at

Oh my gosh that’s beautiful we have a bush we have a bush can i get it with that i can oh my gosh flowering is alia bush i love it this right here is exactly what i wanted in minecraft i’ve made a slight decision that i want to work on the villager

Area over on mooshland a little bit today because i think we can really transform that cave area with these lush little bits that we can have from all of the moss blocks we’ve got it look at that we’ve got three stacks of the mossy blocks we’ve got some azalea we got some

Flowering azalea and we’ve got a lot of mossy carpet too oh it’s so good let me just fill in all this stone back here the only other thing we really need to keep a big lookout for right now is wandering traders and well there’s a new texture for the clock

When did that get added huh okay oh it looks like we can even place these on mycelium that’s gonna be super cool but i believe if we take one of these azalea bushes and i might be able to just do it with the base one we grab that bone meal again

And we do that you do get the flowering leaves off the base ones oh that’s gonna be great oh look at this these are such cool looking trees they’re so wonky and i love that they have their own nude leaf textures oh it’s so good so good so good

I do wish there’s a different type of wood than just you know oak wood but that’s fine i know there’s one more lush cave block that we don’t have access to quite yet and that is the glow berries because we need to find those off of a wandering trader

And i think that’d be so fun to have them up there hanging from the tippity top but i was thinking now that we have these flowering azalea bushes as well and while the regular azalea ones i was thinking we might be able to mix up that top section because

Right now it’s just the jungle leaves but what if we mix some of these in too for the sake of laziness i’m gonna be very very sparse with all of the flowering ones that i’m throwing in here just because i don’t want to have to refill everything

How does that look oh i love that the little little pops of color in there oh it’s so good they’re very sparse and i kind of love it being that way i think that’s something that we keep working with being able to just pick up some new

Blocks and a new minecraft update and add them to what you already have going on is so fun it’s so so cool being able to see all this stuff next up i want to bring in the actual azalea plants and bushes themselves and probably a little bit of the moss

And mossy carpet because i think that could look really cool down here like we do some mossy carpet right in there just a little patches all over the place and i wonder if we can put it on top of a waterlogged slab so we can put sugarcane in the middle more easily

That might be worth testing reason being is because if this works you can also theoretically do it on your farmland everywhere which could be huge value for making your farmland not just have these weird little water spots like i have all over the place they could be green

Green oh that’s gonna be so good oh that’s amazing that right there this is probably one of the largest changes of having mossy carpet oh amazing i guess you could do it with green carpet anyways but this guy right there looks like that not too many insanely large changes

Around here but i think there’s some good changes though i’m really happy about this so far i think we can really continue this theme that we have going on i’ve got a great idea for an expansion that’ll take this into a giant giant area that will be starting on here very soon

Because i want to really overhaul the villager production system that we have here soon back over in our little farming village right now and i had a thought i’d have thought something that could be quite fun a lot of people have mentioned recently that we need to build a quarry

For the castle for the realistic aspect of explaining where the stone is coming from and i love that idea i think that is absolutely fantastic but we also have to think about building some sort of a quarry that we can explain to where we’re getting all these new blocks from and everything

Like that so i was thinking we could do like a starter quarry right in this area eventually for the old castle boy right over there that kind of makes sense dry out the river and all that could be really cool but if we head all the way over to the

Far side of this here mountain range right after this peak we should be in brand new 1.17 chunks i did a little bit of a measuring and went back and checked the video that i recorded and we might be able to see some of those new blocks down here if we

Can see some copper we know it’s worked well the lavas are flowing so this is definitely new taking a quick look down in the ravine here can we find any copper oh there it is we have our first copper ore i know we already got one ingot but

This is the first ore that we can find oh that’s amazing we will fortune this all later when we get home wait glow squid ink what where did this go from that’s cool i don’t know where that guy spawned in but there’s a three gloss quitting sitting on the ground right there

I’ll take that and we got the glow lichen up there too oh i really need to get some good shears to carry around with me i don’t have any right now oh my lord i am so excited for 1.17 all of this new building stuff happening here it’s really got

So many ideas flowing in my brain right now of different things that we can do that’s really cool for that little ravine right there but i want to go a little touch further i saw this mountain range way long ago and i think it’d be so very fun

To start is the river anywhere close the water is right up here we could have a little bit of a pathway that leads us all the way so we can have a dock area coming up into here and i thought it’d be fun to start a brand new mining

Expedition area for today’s episode eventually we might turn that into something to operate a lift for ourselves so i’m gonna leave the water up there right now but i’m gonna clear out a few trees and we’ll see what we’re working with all right all right okay i’m seeing this

Here and i am really liking this that waterfall i’m in love with right now i think we’ve redirected and maybe have it pop out right there flowing down we can power a crazy mill or something that would make it look like we have a giant circle down here

Where we are extracting these brand new resources out of the earth so for my own sanity here of this water is going to be getting everywhere if i don’t block it up i’m going to fill that dude in for now and then come right back down here where

Oh it actually opens up to the other side maybe do like a mountain lake right in here that would be really cool okay so i’m gonna put the water source right here and see where it flows this time oh actually wait wait wait wait wait get rid of all that first

Otherwise it’s gonna be really gross looking there we go that should be perfect for right now oh i’m so excited to get this place going oh it’s gonna be so so fun i think i need to spend a little while just thinking just thinking about what we can do with this landscape

I haven’t looked at it at all before clearing out these trees so i might just i’ma just take five minutes and just kind of stare at it you know that might just work that that that could work that idea is yeah maybe maybe good idea from back here though i don’t know

I don’t know if it’ll work will work i’ll have to sleep on this one see if it works out ooh bright and shiny archway scary lava a goat i see a goat i guess you go to hi how are you doing how you doing look amazing oh my gosh you look amazing

Today how are you mr goatee i will name you t come with me please oh you’re a jumper you’re a jumper okay come on t oh i’m a faller something tells me you can jump out of this so i’m just gonna attach you right there t

I hope you like flowers though now what was i thinking about this place my new goat friend t over here and i’ve been talking and we’ve come up with an awesome plan for what we can do in this area involving turning this into a bit of a dam area

Bringing the water all the way down along here and actually having it sweeping over into a small little custom lake that we can build down that way have a cool pathway with a bridge across it coming up into here and then down in this section is where things are going to get

Very very crazy is i want to build a giant hole that is going to go basically all the way down to bedrock then i’m currently thinking is going to be something about this size going straight down that’s that’s a lot of blocks that we need to

Be breaking here and there’s a much much easier way that we can do this than just by uh willingly breaking all the blocks right here is my friends is we can go acquire a beacon we have been sitting on the wither skeleton skulls for this so i’m thinking it’s time that we jump

Into the end and just get it done and see if we can’t get a few roses in the process a very important step in this process however is getting a lot of wither roses that is something that was very important to me when we were originally setting out to fight the

Wither and i’ve been getting a lot of eggs in here actually they’ve been spawning like crazy check this out oh and we even lost chicken with almost three shulker boxes now that should hopefully be enough to at least get some chicken spawning in the end unfortunately when i deleted all the

Chunks it looks like i deleted the end portal too so uh big mistake on my part there but i’m just gonna build a new one here i found the new portal underground and i threw all the odds of ender in it and we’re good to go now i’ve fought the wither many many

Times inside this game and i am totally okay with just trapping in the bedrock and calling it a day that seems like an awesome way to go here and just get this thing done with i guess big thing is uh let’s hope it still works in 1.17 that that’s probably very

Important to this what we need to do here is making sure the butt of the wither is right there in the center and then we take the soul sand we put it right like in here and then we’ll put the three skulls on the front

I hope i hope that’s right i got all my armor on me here so if we need it i will have it golden apples and bows and everything are at the ready here but what i need to do next is actually get in here and drop a bunch of eggs inside the spot

I’m sorry my chicken friends it’s gonna be a rough one for y’all i have made an absolute mess down here an absolute mess there are so many chickens and it is insane some are even starting to be fully grown chickens now that i’ve been here for so long

But you can see i’ve got some seeds in here somewhere there they are all right let’s get those guys let’s get this end stone and we got to take all of these dudes all the way down here i can’t even move i can’t even move through them

Let’s please check it move never thought i’d make a solid mass of chickens inside of minecraft but here we are okay i realized also that we’re about to have a very very bad day that tyga village where we spawned in this world originally they were gonna have a very rude awakening

Of the weather was about to spawn and go through that portal so that’s not good at all but anyways these dudes are in here and i gotta get over here and block that just a little bit so they cannot get out and well actually i need to get out up

There let’s see can i do this yes get it done perfect all right the chickens are all down there and they’re all within room for the wither to be able to uh explode on them i hope i hope this is gonna work otherwise i’m sorry to everything happening here in the end

But let’s uh let’s pray that this works out right okay yep there’s a weather down there withering heights it is spawned okay um let’s hope this worked it’s bloaty soon whoa are they all done they’re all gone oh they’re all running they’re all running did we get any oh my god they

Have to be full grown chickens oh no what i’m gonna do with all these chickens down here all the chickens are like uh can we leave now will i mess that up at least we get a beacon today there we go a nice little wither star oh i love it

Well we got a weather star and that’s super cool and um yeah i guess chickens now are the only living thing inside the end besides the endermen over there but we’ll just leave these guys here it’s okay i worry that an even worse plague has been set upon the spruce tiger

Village over here oh no and i’m walking away i’m walking away sometimes everybody plans don’t work as you intend them to but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it failed okay we’re just gonna leave them there and find something to do with all those chickens later on my friend’s a beacon has been acquired

So we are over here and it is time to start to start this big ol digging thing so i’m thinking we go ah this is about the center let’s just dig a two wide hole all the way down to the bottom and we found some lava but we are all

The way down here at the bottom of the world and we need to just get rid of this lava real fast just like that already my friends check this out right here we’ve got our first bits of deep slate oh that’s gonna be amazing i’m so excited to use this block

To build with oh i’m so excited we gotta get this thing dug out i think i’m really hoping to find to make this cave build shoot thing all the way down here really really exciting is i want to find the drip stone block we’ve got the beacon rocket now though so this

Is gonna be absolutely awesome i just gotta get all of the emerald blocks placed in here in this pillar and then find my own way out it’ll be super fun and we found some diamonds check that out it’s a good mine already but my friends now that we got the

Beacon in place it is time to get a lot of digging done and recently the replay mod beta came out so that is super sweet so hopefully this works here my friends let’s go ahead and kick this off in a good old-fashioned time-lapse mode for the first time since 1.17 Oh my gosh there we go my friends i am so happy i was able to get this whole thing finished up over here the river it stopped right there for now we’ll figure out where it’s going a little later got a big spook there from the creeper

Yeah that thing blew up right in my face oh wow i’m really glad that we have two see this is why we have the flying pants everybody the second blast protection is the only way i survived that and then didn’t have to pop the totem but over

Here we’ve got this nice little bit of the water shoot coming out this way i figured it’d be like some filtered section coming all the way down here just get super pressurized and going all those wood and turning the wheel which i think i need to work on still

I’m not a big fan of it so i think what i might try mixing up with since we’re here it’s just turning them that way i’ve got to figure out some way for the water to move underneath so if you have any ideas for that please be

Sure to let me know but i’ll be honest i’m recording this episode about right now uh it’s supposed to be live in two hours and i haven’t edited any of it so i’m a little behind schedule over here but i do have some exciting things to show you and that my friends is

Because we found a wandering trader over the course of that time lapse and he stopped by with this lovely little small drip leaf and then i actually found some glowberries so we’ve got some glowberries we’ve got small drip leaf which i believe you can place on top of a moss block

But i do have shears i have iron i can make shears the only way to get small drip leaf is from wandering traders which is a big bummer because look at how beautiful this thing is look at that look at that right there the only way to get this block in all of

1.17 bone mealing it won’t work bone mealing will not get you more of these the only way to get the small drip leaf is by trading with wandering traders who will give you at most 10 of them at a time i am so bummed about that because they’re so absolutely awesome

Big drip leaf you can get by bone mealing these guys but i’m not gonna make one right now because i don’t want to lose these now i’m down to six rockets so unfortunately i can’t fly all the way down to the base but i

Did want to show you that i also got the glow bears they are absolutely beautiful and i think we can hook them up to the bottom of this leaf nope not to leaves bummer but to the bottom of dirt look at this oh look at that right there beautiful

Beautiful so it’ll keep growing all the way down where it’s for like i think it’s like 26 blocks maximum but this one i know this one i know for sure we can get stuck underneath the chest if you come over here bone mule it and

Then right click you can get more so you just hold the bone meal button right here you get all the blow glow berries you could ever need whew that’s gonna be so nice i think if you break these you don’t get anything yeah so we went to 9 to 21 just like

That and i think this little item texture right here look how cool that is i absolutely love it oh it’s so fun but this thing up here is awesome but oh my gosh folks i gotta say deep slate is my new favorite block inside of minecraft holy cow

Check this thing out we’ve got the regular deepslate right there the silk touched version we got it going upwards and then it also can be directionally placed so that lighter color up there that we have dotted around that is the same block it’s just placed

Against a flat wall so it has that top texture on the side and then in here we have the cobble deep slate and it just looks so cool as such a natural gradient literally just built into the block itself and i love that now my plan for this section will

Involve finding a lot of the most amazing blocks being the drip stone so i might see if we can dig around here real fast and maybe find some i don’t really know where they spawn i believe it’s all inside of caves but setting up a farm for that stuff is

Gonna be kind of a pain in the back oh i forgot to mention i did find a spider spawner down here oh wait like a pain in the butt it’s uh it’s right there well we got some okay that’s cool there’s some glow like in back here too and i did

Bring the shears down with me so we can grab that here as well i love it all of the new blocks are gonna be so fun there’s even some tough right over here so we got that rocking and heading all the way up out

Of here we can head up to the top point where i actually have to show y’all something else that i found on a stream recently i did my first stream here on this series just and look at this little guy we got a bucket of axolotl

Look how adorable he is look at how adorable we actually got five of them we got three different colors and they are so cute this is turning into my new foliage box and i love it it’s gonna be so good to have now the last little thing that we need

To do and it’s to take a long time to get this started is the only way to get more drip stone is to actually grow pointed drip stones so i want to make a just insanely massive farm for it here soon but for now we can create a little bit

Of a temporary one so that’s going to be if we come all the way right back inside of here we place our top drip stone block right there we need to place a little bit of water right above it up here place that stone in so it’s just sitting

In there and we have the drip stone right here and you can actually take it about 11 blocks downwards but since there’s that water at the top eventually this will just keep growing and dripping down so as we’re working in the area we have a little drip stone farm over

Here but i will say i’ve been doing this a little bit here on something else that we have coming in very very soon maybe later this week and uh it’s very slow very very slow so we’ll actually have to find a better way to do that here in the near

Future but that’ll at least get us started but my friends that is gonna have to do it for today’s episode here of the first episode of 1.17 a hardcore and we’ve got this brand new mining area oh my gosh am i excited to get some work

Done in here i don’t even know what i want to tackle yet next but oh i’ve got a great idea in mind for what we can do for this entire drop shoot down going through different biomes that you might find in the caves and cliffs part

Two oh i’m so excited it’s gonna be so so cool and i need so much more drip stone i’ll figure out a way to do that but that’s it for me here please be sure to click that like button down below if you have not already and my friends be sure
