Minecraft Let’s Play – Ep. 3: QUAD IRON FARM! (Minecraft 1.18 Caves & Cliffs)

Hey everybody welcome back to another episode of our let’s play series i hope everybody is having a great day today i am doing great i’m feeling refreshed i just got back from a little break that i took over the holiday and i hope you guys had a great holiday as well

Man i’ve got an awesome episode planned for you guys but before we do that we got to get into our question of the day so now that you’ve had some time to play the caves and cliffs update in full i’m curious what are some things that you

Like about this update and what are some things that you dislike about this update let me know down in the comment section below and i’m curious with the new year coming is there any resolutions that you guys are really looking forward to because me i’m just trying to become

The best builder i possibly can so let me know what yours is as well but i think we should get into the video so to get started with today’s episode i literally just got back from mining i spent about two hours mining in the world and i found a lot of goodies so

Let me eat some food check it out guys full inventory of awesome stuff here now what i’m gonna do is like in the first episode by the way we found spruce holy crap really excited about it and we found dark oak which is awesome but all

Of that is in the mining video that’ll be linked in the description below like in the first episode it is about two hours long all of this stuff is on there so i hope you enjoy that if you’re into that kind of long watch stuff

But right now we have got to hook our man dashie up whoo look at my dude actually you are looking snazzy pal but one thing that happened during the mining session is that our armor got absolutely annihilated i only have our diamond chest plate left and

Even that has like no durability left so let’s put this stuff away because we need to get some stuff crafted up i’m gonna quickly get a new armor made up and then head over to our zombie spawner by the way one thing i want to quickly mention

Now there hasn’t been a lot of people accusing me of cheating but after kind of watching the videos back i can kind of see what you mean so i’m going to try to do better to convey the things that i do in the world so it doesn’t feel like

That and i think that’s just the disconnect of that um but everything that i’ve done in the world so far is legit and i’m not like trying to convince you or anything like that i was just kind of i kind of realized i’m like you know i did a lot

Of stuff in the first episode and it kind of seems a little off and another thing that i want to quickly mention is that the urge to take over the world is real like i really want to do these really big like technical projects as well as building and so with the

Upcoming episodes i’m going to try my best to do balance in both of those but uh with it being so early game i didn’t want to like do things so super fast that it felt so boring like oh technical minecraft spawner stuff you know like that’s no fun so i’m gonna try

To balance both of those out evenly anyways let’s go enchant stuff uh so now that we are done wasting all of our time enchanting that was so bad look unbreaking protection four is pretty good uh unbreaking protection unbreaking unbreaking i don’t know what happened but the other day i got all fortune and

Then all of a sudden i’ve got all unbreaking pretty terrible stuff the first thing we’re going to be doing today though is actually getting revenge on the nether i’ve got a new strategy i’ve done a lot of research on how to find this fortress a little bit easier

And i’m going to show you that when we get into the nether i just need to grab probably a little bit more food and we’re going to go in there now all right everybody we are now in the nether and ready to go brought some extra blocks

With me and some extra food we’re going to use speedrun wizard magic to find this fortress well at least get us in the area of where this fortress is we’re gonna use minecraft’s pie chart which is like one of the most underrated things in the game i i would say so what

I’ve done is i’ve logged out well i changed our render distance it is down to the lowest they can go on two logged out logged back in we’re here now i’m gonna hit shift f3 and then on our pie chart here um all i’m going

To do let me make sure that i’m looking out in the void here there we go so down on that graph there there’s all these little numbers and things labeled next to it we’re looking for tick on your game it’s gonna be a little bit different but in mine it’s number four

So on the keypad number four next up we have all these things again this time we’re looking for level so i’m gonna hit one and now i’m going to hit five for block entities so there’s nothing in the two render distance that we have set so what i’m

Going to do now is i’m going to hit f3 and f at the same time and i’m going to start toggling our render distance until it picks something up i have no idea where this thing is if it’s hopefully it’s in the 32 distance range that would be pretty fantastic

Because i’m not trying to you know travel thousands of blocks to find a fortress so we’re at 10 11 12. oh okay we got a chest now don’t get too excited that chest could be a ruined portal could be a bastion let’s keep looking 14 15

16. okay we’ve got a mob spawner at 16 chunks so 16 chunks is about 260 blocks ish um now one thing you got to keep in mind is this it doesn’t really tell us like which direction to go but i’ll talk to you in about that in a second but what

We do know is that at 16 chunks in a circle around us there’s a mob spawner the chances of that being a fortress are pretty good because we we know that we’ve been to one bastion already and it didn’t have the magma cube spawner although that bastion was pretty far

Away this could still be a bastion so what we’re going to do now is think about the location of the bastion the bastion that we found was at negative 300 negative 500. so what you do in speedrunning when you’re trying to find the next closest thing

Well for one you can use entity count which is up here in the corner but you can also just do next quadrant what does that mean well when you spawn in minecraft there’s four blocks right around the player imagine you’re in the center right here so if the bastion’s

Here we need to check one of these right all right so i’m about negative 250 350 or a little bit further than that obviously you can see on screen but i have not found anything yet so i think the southwest option was a bust i am going to go back and do

Northeast now but i’ve got to go all the way back and then travel the 250 blocks so anyways i’m gonna keep looking i found it look how beautiful it is i’ve never been so excited to find another fortress in my life um bridged up there’s lots of baddies

After me i’m probably just gonna bridge over but um yeah so the southwest direction did not really was it southwest northeast yeah so southwest did not really work out for me i went about 300 blocks in each direction that way and then came back this way to find this thing yay

Ah that’s so exciting all right so the game plan here is to hopefully find enough chests to make a nether portal and then nether portal to the overworld so we know exactly where to go oh it’s so beautiful look at it so what we need to do i’ll i need to

Kill blazes and stuff we can do that right now but uh i need to find the entrance to the actual loot part of it give me the blaze rod i’m so excited don’t die now gevin all right so i found the entrance to the tunnels let’s get looking i heard oh i

Heard wither skeletons must be up top but i need all of this this is the other thing that we were looking for to make our potions very exciting grab all that i’m also going to grab all of this now the next game plan that we need to to accomplish

Here we need to find enough obsidian because i didn’t think to bring it because i’m not smart but we need to find enough obsidian to get ourselves another portal hopefully there is enough here but if i have to walk back i will it’s not a big deal but

I’m banking on the fact that obsidian spawns pretty generously in these these fortresses so let’s get looking and see what we can find all right i spoke way too soon look at all these chests right insane but you know what’s funny about it not a single piece of obsidian

What kind of karmic bad luck did i get today to deserve this game i’m a good person i don’t deserve this all right i’m gonna keep looking you know i don’t think that’s gonna pass osha regulation but it got the job done all right we got back to the base

Unfortunately i wasn’t able to find any obsidian i just got done killing some spiders and made myself some potions of weakness now i’m going to turn those into splash potions of weakness because we are going to be doing some villager conversions today now i have plans for

A very big grand trading hall but i can’t do that yet because the you know order of processes in minecraft like today’s video well one of the reasons why it’s taking so long to come out is because i was actually planning on doing another project but i realized very

Quickly that i couldn’t do the project that i wanted to do because i didn’t have certain things in the game so this is why we’re doing what we’re doing today all right we’ve got our splash potions of weakness we will need our uh golden apples there we go fantastic

Now i’m gonna head over to the first village we found because we are gonna get some villagers converted today uh which means i also will need a name tag so grab that i will name this like uh you know what i’m not even sure i’m

Gonna need to do that i’m gonna save my name tag i might be able to get away without it anyways enchantments that i’m looking for today are mending efficiency 5 unbreaking Looting basically the most important ones in the game just do it like that what i am going to do is i’m going to keep track of how many uh attempts it’s going to take me to get what i need so i also need to craft a

Lectern so i’ll get that crafted up and meet you over at the village so i’m on my way over to the village and i am where we very first started this is sort of our spawn location and the reason why i’m showing you this is because i’m looking for emeralds right

Now and i’m looking for emeralds because oh my god that scared me oh my lord i literally just jumped anyways point of this little clip is i um i got so sidetracked there’s so much iron here guys i was looking for emeralds i found five but i have three

Stacks of iron already and i have literally done nothing this is not going well i’m gonna go to the village now so i’m over at the village now and i have moved all of the villagers that we saved into the pin very easy thing to do just grab a bell

Remove all of the beds from the village and then ring the bell so all i’ve done is i’ve placed beds in here and the villagers tracked to them now there’s not enough beds in there for them to breed which works perfect but before we can do anything else we want

To secure our villagers down easiest way to do this and still be able to get village or books is to make boats so i’m gonna use some boats here and i can actually remove these beds too we gotta be careful not to hit anything because that would that would not go well

No that would not go well at all i think the golem would probably attack me pretty quickly all right those two are good to go so i don’t even know if i’m even going to use this village as where we do our villager trading because i have another village

In mind that’ll work much better so i think that might be a better idea guy are you not gonna move okay go go go there we go perfect so now that that’s done i need to make this iron golem is making me real nervous all right so now i need to make

Some books make a book so make a bookshelf and then there and that will make a lectern so i’ve been trying to think about how i want to do this and i think i’m going to do a time lapse of me doing this because i want to show

How long it’s going to take initially it was going to do some sort of counter but i’m not really that great of an editor i don’t know how to do that um i was just thinking of maybe manually counting and then speeding it up so that’s kind of the idea

Man talk about sloppy gameplay uh because i played so badly i made a lot of mistakes which i will go over in just a second i’m gonna add that footage on to the end of the mining video which is the unlisted video for today will be in the description check that out

Uh first mistake number one made on breaking two instead of unbreaking three that sucks didn’t bring enough paper didn’t bring enough gold had to go to the nether to get gold didn’t bring an extra apple just lots of dumb mistakes frustrated need just needless to say so we are

Ready to convert but i need to find a zombie really quickly before i can do that i and the one mob that i do need is just like nowhere to be found it’s awesome so i’ve got a zombie in the cage and somehow so he’s targeting them instead or he’s

Targeting me instead of them so i need to break the bounding box of this guy get rid of that and then i need to run away so that he’ll start attacking the the mobs okay so now that the villagers are covered i need to kill this other zombie really quickly

So get rid of this guy there we go so i’m not gonna well the farmer might interest me but mainly i just want to do my four guys for the books so i think i can probably get away with two potions one for them and then oh we got all of them wow

That’s got a lot of range holy crap uh it looks like this guy didn’t get it there we go so you you you you All right i am back i went to the spawner and got books like you saw also went and picked up all the rest of the hay bales that i had at the base i’m gonna go ahead and just blast through these trades real fast and see how many i can get

So uh we maxed out at 16. i will put this guy’s table down in hopes that maybe he’ll refresh really fast i don’t know we’ll see what happens uh looks like he’s got one emerald pumpkin trades cool uh next up so we need mending but we’ve like i said

We’ve only got 11 books we need to think about what we want to put mending on armor meh the things that i’m like really really want to uh like want to enchant and have mending on you know i just realized did i lose i was gonna say did i lose my

Sword i didn’t lose my sword okay cool not totally losing it today by the way but uh sword and two pickaxes would be ideal so for now i’m gonna do just i think i’ll do two pickaxes that seems the most important to me so this is looting three we definitely

Gotta get one of those um and then let’s see what’s left we have unbreaking two and 26 for efficiency five now personally i would love two of these efficiency five books but i don’t think that’s gonna happen so i’m just gonna go for the one don’t really have an option anyways

Um so those are the probably the best enchants that i can get right now so the game plan is to do some some more enchanting i want to get soaked touch uh hopefully with a low level efficiency or something like that so we can add it on

Uh i want to get a so touch pickaxe made up and i need to get a new sword made up because we’re heading back to the nether that’s right tick tick back at the base i’m just grabbing some food gonna make a new shield and we’re off to another to kill wither skeletons

So for the record i have killed four i’ve killed four with a skeleton so that’ll tell us how many we had to kill to get the skulls that we need going for three but if i end up getting more cool i’m gonna put the wither skeleton

Footage uh the whole entire thing on the end of the unlisted video by the time this video was done that enlisted video is literally gonna be like four hours long so i hope you enjoy that anyways i’m gonna go use some killing now so i’m in the fortress and i just died i

Probably killed maybe 10 it was pretty bad i may have to look for another fortress i think we only killed 14 yeah so i will show you the death now i may need to mute it though because i was listening to a movie while i was playing so i’m not

Sure if it’s gonna need to be muted or not so here’s that do so i have recovered my items i got my helmets and my leggings back lost my chest plate lost my boots lost my sword which was a huge loss but i did get my pickaxes back so it’s not

All bad i’m looking at the positives i will need to craft new gear let’s uh do that now put all this up and put this up and get rid of you all right so we need to get diamonds do that uh so let’s see

We need do i have a shovel i do have a shovel all right i will most likely just enchant that shovel so i don’t have to waste another diamond so two diamonds for a new sword and then we need a chest plate and leggings so unfortunately i am gonna have to pretty

Much get back to where i was now i don’t know how i want to do this but i am over using that zombie spawner that thing is really really bad i suppose the only thing i really should enchant is just my sword again so i’m going to try

To get level 30 and get the another looting enchantment i think it was what 13 emeralds which i think we can probably just get from the farmer so i know today’s video has been all over the place but i do promise we are actually going to do something today

Which is weird considering everything that we have done we’re making an iron goblin farm actually we’re making a quad iron golem farm it’s going to be pretty rad i think you guys are going to like it a lot so the first thing we’ve got to do to make

Our farm a reality is to breed our villagers now we only need 12 villagers that is a pretty easy thing and like i said this uh these villagers the trading villagers that we got earlier today they are or were temporary hey guy where you going you guys need to come back

Down here for me please you jerks all of the beds are down here you don’t have to stand up there and be cool you’re better than that so um i have 16 emeralds i may actually have a few more in here four more and then i have a few books so i will

Probably trade with them but first i have to get these jerk faces back in the in the in the thingy all right you’re not cooperating here guys i need you to go you’re really gonna make me ring the bell aren’t you you’re gonna make okay

You know what i’m i’m gonna do it i’m gonna ring the bell that’s this is this is your doing okay your fault totally so to to breed the villagers we just need the equal amount of beds that we need and then any food that we can scrap

Crap scrap crap crap crap words i don’t know they’re hard i give up on the whole word thing i’m not a big fan of it i never have been all right so let’s uh let’s get some food in the pin here throw those two in there they should pick them up

Yes and i will i’m gonna try to be a little bit careful with the bread though because i don’t want to waste all of the wheat that i have so let’s do i’ll do like 32 let’s uh take like half of that out of there there we go

All right so we’ll give them this and then they will get breeding so we’ve already got uh what five villagers so i would imagine getting 12 villagers won’t be that hard now i i die a lot but when i don’t die i need mending so i think what i’m probably going to do

Is spend ah you know what i really do need looting and looting was like what 13 that’s expensive man they act like i’m i’m rich or something over here what’s going on 14. all right i’m gonna buy this and then i’m gonna spend the rest of these books

On mending so efficiency will just have to wait um one of these guys is mending anyways mending there we go boom six mending books i will mend everything that i possibly can and get these guys all bred up right up so it makes them sound like a chicken breast unfortunately i thought

That i had more name tags i may have lost some i’m not really sure i need four name tags i have three i don’t have enough emeralds so right now i am out looking for another village trying to find any loot i can get my hands on

Things like that just a slow slow day i think this acacia village wins the record for a longest village that’s ever existed starts up on the hill actually over there and then it goes all the way over to the water all right so villagers are breeding things are going well inside

The pen here i think we have what nine total villagers couldn’t find a uh name tag while i was exploring so i have been working on getting our mending guy to master so first off mending for one sharpness two for one infinity for one looting three for 14. pretty crazy not

Only that but this inktrade oh so good i love it look at how good this villager is give me mastery please excuse me guys my throat all right so is he gonna be a mastery now are you mastery good sir good sir you are and it’s only 13.

Finally awesome so now i just uh need to get the rest of the villagers which is fine because we need to build the farm anyways so i hope you guys enjoy the time lapse Hmm oh [Applause] So moving the villagers has pretty much turned into a total disaster it’s not all bad though because while a bunch of them got away because i opened the gate to move one and all of them ran out which was awesome and i i hate it where did you guys come from

You were not up there five seconds ago you’re filthy liars all right well here’s what we’re gonna do because all of a sudden the villagers decided that they were back i am going to try to get the rest of them in the pins so here’s what i’ve got so far i’ve

Pretty much got two in each pin uh everything else is really just finished i mean i just need to get these guys up here once i get them up here i can i can move them no problem so let me ring this bell again and no idea where those villagers went to

Because like four seconds ago they were not there maybe they were like glitching out or something who knows no idea where that other guy is going they should see this bed and run to it uh i may need to open up the cavity into the villager pins again so that i can

Get them in there looks like they’re kind of running towards the right spots here all right let’s move this bed and then i guess we should probably i should probably just do this one at a time so basically i’m just gonna break this open and then try to push these guys in there

This is this has been a total disaster by the way oh my god what a video guys okay so this villager pin is now finished i will need to get more cobblestone but i’ve just got to get the rest of them in there so this zombie right here is the last one

I had to wait pretty much an entire day cycle to get the last one up here i had another one and there was an iron golem that spawned on the scaffolding here and pretty much killed it what i am excited to look for though is to see how much

Iron our farm has made from just that day and then the rest of this night cycle so it’s i would say it’s been almost two days since this thing has started running the plan to get the zombies in the hole here actually works quite well and oh we got we got action cooking

Already all right so i’m just gonna jump in like right here the second that he falls in i’m going to boat out there we go pretty simple stuff right and then oh i forgot to put slabs in there i will have to get the slabs in there i should probably do that really

Quickly let me i got to break some of this out of here because it’s their half slabs here and half slabs here there we go place those in there get rid of this and i do need to get back up there so let me do that real fast

All right uh did i name him i did not name him let me name him real fast mr zombie you are number four there we go zombie number four is in the pin perfect all right so really the only thing left to do is to get rid of this

And then i need to remove all of this nonsense let me do that real fast okay so gonna quickly grab some of my cobblestone i hate wasting blocks now i see myself as more of a builder now right and one thing that has done to me is in

Terms of playing minecraft i think like i need to click this block so i can use it to build rather than i need to collect this resource to use it to farm it’s a totally different mindset man it kind of throws me off a little bit sometimes so like i said this farm

Has been running i would say almost at this point like two full days like in minecraft time i’m gonna turn the sound i guess that would be friendly creatures let’s just get rid of that and i’m gonna go ahead and empty my inventory there we go by the way i died like

Six times making this farm all right so let’s take a look at statistics mobs so i have been killed by one drowned um died to a trident i believe one enderman one hoglin i’ve been killed by two iron golems i thought i died more than that but i guess i didn’t

Piglet brew killed me two times i guess that’s it huh all right well i feel like i died more than that but oh well uh so the only thing we have really left to do but i don’t doesn’t look like i have any wood here to finish this so

64 iron and then there’s probably more filtering in so i’ll let it do its thing for a moment i would say that’s a pretty good day’s work man anything else nope so in the two game days that it ran we got nearly a stack and a half of iron

Uh this thing is not perfect we are missing the one villager now i’m not sure if that villager will cause us to get uh less golem spawns i’m not really sure but uh if you don’t know this already golems spawn in 30 second intervals so i’m actually going to turn the sound

Back on turn that back on there we go so you can hear i’m dying right now but this thing is cooking now uh i’ve got a lot of other work to do here i’ve got to clean this place up man i made a mess i got to fix everything up gets all of

My items back to our main base stay organized that’s the plan but that is going to do it uh for today’s episode so iron golem was farm was a success i’m gonna do an official test for next episode one hour um to see how much we get so anyways i

Hope you guys enjoyed today’s video and if you did maybe consider subscribing otherwise i hope everybody has a lovely day this is ijevin peace out everybody
