Minecraft: A New Journey – 1.17 Survival Let’s play | Ep 1

Hey guys what’s up jwisp here and welcome to episode one of the minecraft 1.17 survival let’s play here we are 1.17 is here and that means new blocks new mobs new generation new textures and of course a new survival world just like with all other updates we’re here for another survival world

Now don’t freak out yet i have a hardcore series going on but that hardcore series is not going to end who says we can’t have two series at once but here we are in the brand new world and i’m super stoked 1.17 has added a lot of really cool and exciting things

Into the game and i can’t wait to show them all off and i have a lot of big plans for the series i have a lot of huge things i want to accomplish we’re going to do a lot of farm tutorials a lot of build tutorials i want to show

You guys some stuff because 1.17 there’s a lot of cool new farms you can make and also we have a lot of new blocks so we can experiment with new building techniques and making things that look really good i’m super excited for this let’s play

Honestly and if you are too make sure to leave a like and subscribe for more videos and i’m genuinely curious what do you guys think of 1.17 because right now i’m a huge fan of 1.17 i’m a little bit disappointed that most of the cave generation got pushed back to being released later

In the year however what they’ve added so far in 1.17 from oxolotls to cobble deep slate to copper everything like that i think is pretty awesome but i’m curious like what do you guys think about it do you like the update do you not like it and also what would

You like to see me do in the survival let’s play if there’s any tutorials you want to see me do or anything you want to see me build let me know this survival let’s play you know i think it’s going to be great every new survival let’s play we start

It always gets bigger it gets better and we do more and this is no different i’m excited for this one i’ve got a lot of free time and i’ve got a lot of energy i have a lot of motivation for this and i think we can make this survival let’s play

Really awesome and i’m gonna start this like every other survival let’s play collecting wood but after this tree i want to do a little bit of exploration let’s see what’s around here there’s a few things that are going to be key in a survival let’s play but also in

1.17 there’s a few other oh oh okay we got a ruined portal over there i was gonna say there’s a few things that we need to get let’s see what else is around here it looks like we’re on a little island here uh we have a little flower island

Some trees over there a bees okay these are really important in 1.17 because honey you can finally use to wax copper which means the copper won’t oxidize copper is normally a sort of reddish brown color but over time it turns into a green color but if you right click on a copper block

With honey it’ll actually stay that color alright let’s see we have some coal over there well before we start anything let’s check out the ruined nether portal and uh if this does happen to be a good seed and you guys want to play along the survival let’s play with me i’ll leave

The seat down in the description so you guys can hop on and join with me currently we aren’t actually in 1.17 we’re in 1.17 pre-release 4 but i have enough faith that this is a stable version and since 1.17 is about to release pretty soon uh we pretty much have the full update

So let’s collect a little bit of everything that could be useful i guess some flowers could be useful probably for our starter house i definitely want to make a starter house in this episode maybe if we can find a village that would be cool uh definitely do a bit of mining because

1.17 mining is extremely overpowered and there’s some crazy things you can get oh okay a golden apple that’s great to start out with uh but 1.17 mining is super overpowered and also i want to show you guys some good mining techniques for 1.17 to get rich pretty fast get a lot of

Diamonds quickly get a lot of iron gold and copper let’s see is there anything else interesting around here this flower for oh i was gonna say this flower forest biome is useful because there’s bees let’s see we have a swamp right there looks like we spawned near

A really good area because we pretty much have like five different biomes all around here and hey we have some goats i wonder i want to try out something with the goat i want to see if we can get one of the new 1.17 achievements right off the bat

I just have to test this out let’s see if we can get it one of the new 1.17 achievements is called whatever floats your goat and you pretty much just have to sit in a boat with a goat so let’s see if we can get the goat in the boat

And sit in the boat and get the achievement because i do eventually want to get all achievements in this survival world i think that’d be a huge oh whoa whoa whoa what you doing oh that really scared me i want to see if i can eventually get all of the achievements let’s put

The boat down come on go on the boat go on the boat okay let’s see if we can break the boat we just have to get in the boat that’s all we have to do we just need to get him in the boat and then we get the achievement

All right let’s see maybe we can place it here no i can’t come on come in the boat there we go and then we sit in the boat whoa we got it whatever floats your goat okay that’s all i needed you for uh you know what let’s

Let’s leave him there no just kidding we might need to go some time in the future because they do drop some fun things and uh they’ll be useful in 1.17 but i’ll leave him there to see so let’s go around here and see what could be useful

I know there was that coal right behind us where we spawned so i’ll collect a little bit of that because that’ll be useful i need some torches we’ll see if we can do a bit of mining and maybe it gets started on a starter house let’s see all right here’s cole

Of course we have the new coal texture i honestly don’t know what to think i think some of the new textures are pretty cool um but some of them i’m not a huge fan of i think i just need to get used to them as someone who plays

Minecraft every day i always like whenever they add pretty much any sort of update into the game but sometimes it definitely does take a little bit of getting used to with uh some of the new textures and some of the new updates especially when i’m used to

You know how things used to look all right there we go we got the stone pickaxe and then let’s also make ourselves a stone sword just to protect herself just in case all right i’ll grab a little bit of the coal so we can make some torches we’ll also get some xp

And then after that i think i’ll set out and do a bit of exploration see if there’s anything else i can find if i can find any other structures and maybe any other chests that would be good but if not it’s not the end yeah it’s not the end of the world

The other thing that would be nice to find is maybe like a plane’s biome or just a nice flat area where we can actually build a house and i’m going to pick up my crafting table because right over there on the other hill i see some iron i

Think it’s iron it might be copper it’s hard for me to tell the difference because when they first changed the iron texture and added copper the textures were very similar and uh i’m color blind so it’s hard for me to tell the difference but let’s see let’s see all right this

Is copper not iron i lied but we’ll still get the copper uh after i complained about it mojing actually updated the textures and made them a little bit less similar so i’m not sure if they did it because i complained or i know a few other people were complaining because the textures looked

Really similar but we’ll still get a lot of copper i definitely want to make a lot of builds with copper and i want to experiment with it and see how we can make copper look good copper is an entirely new block and it’s also a really versatile block

Because you can do a lot with it you can have it be a reddish brown color you can have it be a green color you can have it be somewhere in between so i think it’s gonna be really fun to mess around with copper and see what we can do with it

But we have copper let’s see if we can maybe find some iron or gold or just anything around here that’d be useful getting besides just a bunch of trees well there’s hope i just explored this entire spruce biome i’ve really not explored the entire thing but just started walking in this direction

And uh it’s getting pretty late so i was gonna settle down make a bed with some of the wool from the sheep i killed but right on this other side of the hill i see some light so it looks like there’s something good that’s about to happen to us i saw some

Light and i originally thought there was just a lava pool but it looks like there’s a village so we can steal a village bed sleep to make it daytime and also get some loot while we’re at it now okay let’s take out the skeleton see if we

Can get some bones there’s a lot of wolves in that biome so if we could get a dog on the first episode that’d be pretty cool let’s see uh no bones for us unfortunately okay let’s sleep first really fast i don’t want to get attacked by all

These mobs we can just skip the night really fast oh there’s a lot of mobs and we should be okay let’s see is there a bet in here no i don’t think there’s going to be a bad it’s okay we can we can just make our own bed

Uh let’s do this at least we found a village we have a house to stay safe in and boom there we go we’re already doing pretty good with the achievements we’ve gotten a lot of a lot of achievements so far so we’re doing pretty good but let’s explore this village

And see if there’s some good loot for us to get because i’m curious let’s see we have some bookshelves which is good some left turns okay that’ll be good to get mending later on we have tons of hay blocks so we’re gonna be pretty much set

On food for a while let’s see what else is around here okay we have a blacksmith oh furnaces okay i’ll take one of those is there anything in here oh okay okay let’s uh let’s do this actually here let’s put a chest there we’re gonna keep this chest this is

Gonna be our chest just for now i’ll keep some stuff in here so we have some apples we have okay we have some that’s good we have some iron let’s see what else is in some of these other chests and see what we can get okay

I think we’re going to be set on bread for a while because there’s so much bread i was gonna say if he gave mending it’s game over for me uh let’s check just all the chests really fast see if there’s anything useful i’m just happy we found bread

Because that means we’re gonna be set on food for a while okay a second blacksmith uh we’ve got enough iron pickaxes to last us an eternity let’s see um i don’t need that and i don’t need that let’s get rid of some of that junk let’s see anything

Else useful around here there are some animal pens and there’s also tons of animals there’s tons of sheep tons of cows so we’re gonna be set on livestock we can probably make some animal farms pretty soon here let’s see anything over here nothing in there but let’s do this

Really fast let’s actually just plant our sugar cane on the shore there were already some bookshelves and there are some cows so it shouldn’t be too hard to get bookshelves when we do some enchanting but you can never have enough sugar cane so i’ll plant that let’s see anything else anything in here

Uh oh more bread okay i’ll take the apple as well the gold nugget uh let’s also ring the bell to see if there’s a stronghold and there’s not after 1.14 if you ring the bell and there’s little particles around it there is a chance that there’s a stronghold under your house

But looks like yeah it looks like honestly there’s not too much i don’t think i want to set up shop in this blacksmith i think i just put the chest here to sort of keep my left organized for a second but let’s see everything we have let’s kind of

Get a feel for everything we have let’s put everything in the chest so we already have a decent amount of iron besides that i’ll put two iron pickaxes in my inventory let’s take some of this iron and make some iron tools let’s make ourselves an iron axe actually cut down

Some trees get some wood so we can actually make ourselves a starter house what else do i want to make i forget is an axe or a hoe i think i need a hoe that’s the block or the tool that is correct for breaking hay bales right

It’s all right we’ll collect a few hay bales just to get some bread so i’m pretty much set on food and then i’ll get some trees and we can make ourselves a starter house i could just steal one of these villager houses i guess but i’d much rather build my own starter

House i’m thinking i want to do something similar to what i did in my first 1.16 starter house but something a little bit different using some different blocks i don’t want to do the exact same thing i want to try to experiment with some different house builds but let’s do this

And yeah we’re going to be pretty much set on bread for a long time here we go we’re going to have like a stack of bread and boom oh perfect it works out perfectly all right let’s put the rest in the chest there and we should pretty much

Be okay so i think what i want to do now is get okay let’s put the golden apple in the inventory just in case we need it and i think besides that we’re pretty much set i don’t need to smelt any of this food right now because we have a decent

Amount of food and we’re looking pretty good so i’m gonna go out and explore and let’s see if we can find some useful stuff i’ll also make myself just a few torches in case i want to go mining and i need it that should be enough so let’s head out and uh

See what we can find all right so we’re doing a pretty good here i’m back at the village and i found a relatively flat area over here i want to build my starter house in i set down two spruce logs just to sort of

See where i wanted to put my door uh i mined a little bit of sand and we’re gonna have some glass melting and i also mined a lot of spruce logs i have my iron axe here it’s almost broken so that’s why i stopped mining but

We have over two and a half stacks so i think we should for the most part have enough spruce logs so i think what i want to do is have a door right here and then have like this sort of like entrance-ish area and then come out a little bit like this

Just like a pretty standard boxy shaped house with a bit more detail and you know a little bit more intricate than it would be otherwise and let’s see how far out should i go let’s just go one two three four five six seven eight nine i think that’ll be good i think that’s

Big enough i don’t want a super big house just for a starter house it doesn’t need to be anything giant it needs to be small and it just needs to be able to hold a chest and some beds and that’s pretty much it that’s all we really need in the starter house

So i’m going to build it up a bit and sort of see what kind of shape i want for this house So here’s what i have so far we’re definitely not even close to done but i just have the basic frame of the house and some windows set up with some supports and some things in between i think instead of having these uh spruce planks above the windows

I might experiment with some upside down stairs because once i add the roof the upside down stairs we’ll just add a little bit more detail and i think make it look a bit better let’s experiment a bit and see how it’ll look um so it’ll be

Sort of like that so we have that little overhang and then we’ll have the roof right on top we can see how it looks once it’s finished but for now i’ll leave it like this and we’ll see how it turns out but for the roof

I think i really want to go for stone brick so we’re gonna have to mine a little bit of cobblestone it won’t be too bad i’ll probably only need a couple of stacks so i think i’ll just go to the nearby cave and mine some cobblestone

So here’s where i am with the house so far i’m not done with the roof as you can see but i’ve started on it i just wanted to get the general shape of the roof to see what i wanted to do and i have a feel for it now i also

Decided to fully go in with the upside down stair idea for the windows and i think it’ll look pretty good so what i’m gonna do is finish the windows i’ve collected a bit of cobblestone i actually went through one entire iron pickaxe but thankfully we have like three others in the chest

Uh and i’m smelting some more stone so that we can uh get our stone brick stores up and i think we should have enough stone to have enough stone brick to finish this but if not i can always try to smelt some more in the future but let’s see

How this house turns out once it’s finished alright alright so the starter house is looking really good i think it’s pretty good i’m pretty much finished here we have the roof on we have the windows all it needs now is some detailing i mean it looks okay but it looks basic it

Definitely doesn’t look like home yet so what i’ll probably do is look around and try to add some flowers maybe make some sheers add some leaves stuff like that just add little decorations here and there to ultimately make the house look a lot better

Oh one thing i know i have to do because i love doing this with my house is taking the village bell and putting it on the house that way it acts as like a little doorbell i mean no one else was playing on this world

With me but it’s still fun just to have okay okay so here is the final house i added some more flowers and i added some leaves and that was about it for the details added a little path i might add some more in the future but for now i think

This is okay it’s just a starter house now unfortunately since i did add that bell all the villagers are sort of congregating around the house so maybe i’ll take away the bell but uh for now i don’t know i kind of like it inside of the house haven’t

Really decorated it just kind of like threw stuff everywhere but what i do want to do is take some of the bones i have from the skeletons that died to the iron golem in the village and head back to the spruce forest and see if we can get ourselves a dog

That’s like as long as we can get a dog that’s the only other thing i want to achieve in this episode and also while we have it i’m sure it won’t be too hard to find a name tag since uh you know name tags aren’t

Too terribly hard to find and so if we do get a dog and you guys have a good name suggestion for a dog let me know down in the comments below i always like to name my dogs and have them named after comments maybe i’ll like or you know choose the

Name for my dog of the most liked comment or maybe i’ll just do whichever name i like the best i don’t know i haven’t decided we’ll see but i’m sure we can pretty easily find a wolf and try to tame it now i only have five bones so

Hopefully oh we got one right here hopefully that’s enough to tame a dog but let’s see oh please please yes there we go there we go there we go okay actually we got one so we got one dog i still have two bones we could potentially get another one there’s lots

Of chickens here let’s look around see are there any other wolves we can tame because we can get two dogs i mean two’s a lot better than one but if we can only get one that’s definitely still okay i won’t be mad about that uh

I’m not seeing any and i don’t want to get too lost in this forest since i haven’t really explored too much of this world i don’t want to get too lost let’s look around and i think that’s about it so let’s head back to the base

We have the dog so like i said if you guys have any name suggestions let me know down below i’ll probably do a lot of exploration and mining uh not necessarily on video because i find that stuff a lot of boring but live streamed in this world so if you

Want to see any live streams you know hop in for that play with me because i like to play with you guys a lot uh definitely subscribe and hit the bell icon because i’ll be doing live streams with you guys and i think that’s really fun that’s a great way

That i can still do work on camera so people can see it if they want but also i don’t have to show a lot of the long drawn out boring stuff so let’s head back to the house plop our dog down the dog would be nice though because the dog will scare away

Mobs from our house helping to keep us and our house protected the only thing they won’t really help with is creepers so we’ll still have to get ourself a cat but i did see some cats running around the village because enough villagers will start to spawn cats

So maybe if i get some fish i can try to tame one or two of those cats and the cats can help keep the creepers away from my house so that my house doesn’t blow up but for the most part i think this was a fairly successful first episode we found

A lot of cool stuff we got very lucky with the village and the room to nether portal and we have a pretty beautiful looking starter house it’s not the best starter house it’s not the worst but i like it and i think it’s pretty cool i might do a little bit more work

With it make it look a little different we’ll have to see but for now i think it looks okay and let’s plop down mr doggie come on what’s the dog doing let’s plop you down right over here boom perfect standing watching guard but yeah if you have any name suggestions let me know

For the dog now before i end the video i want to briefly mention something pretty important now currently i do have a hardcore series on my channel and i have a bad reputation that i’ve given myself of not keeping series for that long and ending them prematurely ending them after only maybe like

20 25 episodes and so with this new hardcore world i’ve said it before and i am going to say it again i will not end the hardcore series until i die and right now since we’re pretty stacked it doesn’t look like i will die anytime soon now for the next couple of

Weeks while we’re starting this new survival series i am going to focus more on this survival series and less on the hardcore series hardcore might only be once or twice a week however i still will do some live streams on it and i will still upload it once this

Series is a bit more established and i’ve played on this world for a bit longer we will go back to more regular recordings of the hardcore and this one not that the hardcore one will interfere with this let’s play both let’s plays are going to be separate taking place at the same time

Just in two separate worlds i think we can make it work and i think it’ll be fun this series will be based a lot more on 1.17 things build tutorials and farms involving a lot of the new 1.17 stuff as well as some old stuff whereas the

Hardcore series i already have plans for that and i’m not going to do too much stuff involved with 1.17 however we will update the world to the newest 1.17 up but that is all for episode 1 of the new 1.17 survival let’s play if you enjoyed leave

A like subscribe all that good stuff it really does help me out and i really do appreciate it but that’s all for this episode i’m j wisp and i will see you guys all in the next one
