Minecraft Skyblock, but its HARDCORE #2

Welcome to hardcore Skyblock this is the series the series are suspended on a little dirt block above the void with very limited resources we have to explore the islands around us all while trying not to die in Minecraft hardcore welcome to the challenge this is episode two ah the

Sun is rising it’s a good day in Minecraft Skyblock welcome to the bunker under the island I’ve got my Christmas Starbucks coffee and I’m ready to get on with this sort of Skyblock Grime and there we have our first bone lovely please burn thank you yeah so Phantoms

Are kind of still a problem for us but all in all on This Island we have been making very good progress I have a very simple goal for us today we need to create a mob spawner which would unlock the ability to sleep if we gain some

String and it would also give us bones to expand our farm and a bunch of other rare drops that would be really useful so we’re uh we’re gonna start with just some some regular old grinding I’m gonna need a lot of materials like a lot a lot

Yep there goes one ax already with a bunch of wood acquired the next step is going to be building out to where we want this mob spawner to go now I don’t really have a center point for this island selected yet so I guess we can

Just kind of make one up and we’ll we’ll go right here why not I’m going to be doing a classic mob spawner design here it’s going to have a three by three sort of entrance here this is where the mobs will fall down and that’s so that

Spiders will also fall if you do two by two spiders have a little bit more of a struggle we’ve got a whole Forest this is lovely okay I’ve chosen a location for my mob spawner now comes the hard part we have to actually build it and there’s a

Couple of things that we are very much going to need before we can get started one of those things is a bunch of trapdoors to trick the mobs into walking off this is going to take like a lot of trapdoors we’ll start with a stack and see where that gets us the

Other thing that we’re most certainly going to need is water now we have water but only one we need a infinite water source which we can currently get with our bone meal and some sea grass regardless of that though there is also a water source on this map over there

And I figure it’d be really fun to start this episode off with a little exploring so we’re most definitely going to make our way over there to grab the water for now though some more Cobblestone grinding while the sun sets okay the Phantoms are burning and we

Have our mission we must go to the mangrove very carefully oh I didn’t bring the bucket hold on one second if I was playing in a normal world I may Bridge first and leave the bucket but I’m playing in hardcore if I go off the edge I’m dead world’s done

Oh here we are okay lovely squishy mud oh we’ve got a lily pad as well and this is an infinite source which is lovely means we can get more if we ever need it I think for now I’m gonna leave everything else here just see if we can

Get that there we go got it I actually love the way that Mangrove wood does saplings that was so easy to get a sapling I didn’t have to chop it down so now we have unlocked Mangrove wood perfect now let’s go ahead and get this infinite water source going shall we now

If we can get some more dirt we can officially expand out this farming area this is perfect okay we’ve got our building materials we’ve got our water source I think the only thing to do now is build I’m very nervous I almost always make some fatal mistake when I’m building

These so I’m just hoping I can chill and do everything right I’ve done a mob spawner a million times before I could do it without a death the first key part of this is going to be getting it to the correct height I want to get this thing

To 22 blocks tall that’s going to be kind of the first key part of this so we’re gonna do 11 of these and 11 of those and that should make 22 and that’ll get us tall enough let’s see if we could do this before the sun sets please no Phantoms please no Phantoms

That would be a really bad time for a phantom to spawn it would be a really really really horrible okay I did it this is the height of our mob spawner lovely let’s get down before the Phantoms come I don’t like the thought of that I’m gonna be a interesting aesthetic

Quick cocoa bean Harvest it is currently the morning of day eight in this Skyblock world and uh I think it’s time to be productive let’s stop fluffing around doing nothing worrying about Phantoms and let’s get to work I think I have everything on me that I should need

Extra Spruce locks we’ll take some extra Oaks some extra spruce seems about right let’s try it what’s the worst worst weapon mob spawners normally look a little bit ugly but I’m gonna try to put some effort into this one and really make it a pretty mob spawner I actually have

This goal by the end of this series to turn this mob spawner into some sort of maybe mega tree or something like that I’ve always wanted to have a really pretty SkyBlock island but to be honest I’ve just never found the motivation or time for that type of grind but I feel

Like this holiday season this is the one I could do it this whole alternating colored slab thing is actually really convenient I recommend it oh goodness this water is becoming more of a hazard than a help was this happened this doesn’t even make sense hello

Now for this top layer in order to keep it from getting too much light in it we are actually going to make these last couple of blocks solid okay mission accomplished I’m at the top that wasn’t so bad if I don’t think about it too

Hard okay so now we need to build the actual spawn platform this should be pretty simple four five six seven eight okay that’s the hardest part that took literally all of my brain power to count that try not to fall in the process now all we need

To do is create the spawning pads and then put a roof on this thing and then it should be good to go problem though Sunset um Sunset not ideal for us also for some reason I’m using full blocks and not slabs We’re not gonna talk about it I was on a

Roll and I forgot okay make a quick Infinite Source of water oh dear yep it’s on that note I’m out that’s all I needed to hear yeah don’t gotta worry about me I will be down here oh it looks okay though right well uh this will give me a fantastic

Opportunity to get organized overnight now it’s morning now it’s my turn it’s my turn your turn is over very soon all right let’s start with a little bit of farming before we head up to that very optimistic that we should finish this mob spawner today I’m looking forward to

It I think we might have a bed to sleep in soon that’ll be so lovely okay let’s get all these trapdoors in place so the silly mobs just walk straight off the platform oh my gosh I made almost a perfect amount of trapdoors it was perfect ah all right now all we

Gotta do is take down the Torches and grab this water and get it in place okay this all looks 100 correct let’s go ahead and get this wall up and a roof on this has taken a lot of spruce wood I am down to my last little bit luckily I do

Think I have enough I should be able to finish but my gosh all right there we go just like that I think our mom spawner’s done no I just need to find a way to gracefully get down um yeah this should work please don’t die please don’t die please

Don’t die okay we’re fine we’re totally fine oh wait I’ve I’ve made a vital error I’ve made a vile error hold on okay the mistake that I’ve made is that mobs can actually see me through that do you guys see that mobs will be able to

View me so that’s a pretty big mistake let’s go ahead and just block this in okay everybody is dying this is perfect oh it’s working so well but I’m so nervous I can’t believe I forgot the bottom always forget something when I make these okay there we go oh we got our first

String give me that thank you thank you oh the farm is on auto kill right now as you can see pretty much everything that’s falling is dying this is great at the moment however I want these Bobs to be a one hit kill so in order for that to happen

All I’ve got to do is yep right there it’s working so well oh my gosh I kind of didn’t expect it to be working this well look at this oh my gosh the Epic we’ve already got 12 string and that is all we needed oh my goodness

Okay let’s go ahead and make our very first bed oh I’ve been waiting for this moment down to the bunker this time sleep oh it’s our very first sleep oh thank goodness I’ve found another critical error I think the creepers can see me okay Please ignore me thank you that’s actually it’s fine it’s totally fine our first Witch is in there as well okay they’re a little tougher to kill we should be able to get her though there we go and she dropped a spider right it’s not great but we’ll work with it

Okay I’m gonna use these barrels here to store some of our stuff this one will be for rotten flesh this one will be for bones and arrows this one over here can be gunpowder and this one will be our spider drops oh that was really close I gotta be careful thank you

I’m gonna spend a little bit of time here waiting for some rare drops like for example the chicken also an iron ingot or just the potatoes and carrots that are falling those are great too with the mob spawner established it’s time to go ahead now and replenish some

Of the things that we kind of ran out of and building them one of those things is definitely Spruce Wood let’s go ahead and do some farming shall we I want that carrot I want it okay it feels good to be caught up a little bit on some of the farming that’s

Going on around here we definitely are starting to get to the point where we need a bigger island which is really impressive I like that we’re there already gosh you guys are loud we are gaining mob drops and items faster than I know what to do with them

To be honest for safety and also aesthetic purposes I’m gonna go ahead and Surround this little mob spawner in a bit more wood now of course the first idea that I had for this was the bed but we can also use string to make something else a fishing

Rod put this fishing rod and our brand new source of infinite water we should hopefully be able to get some cool drops it’s really mostly just a matter of where do we place a giant ugly Pond do you know what maybe over there now it’s gonna look a little silly to

Start but I feel like it’ll have some real potential by the end all right here we go we’ve got ourselves a little pool for fishing yeah all we need is a little Hut for some potential overnight fishing and there we go just like that it’s a little surprise uh fishing hunt now we

Should be able to fish in here all we want now let’s see if we can get anything shall we come on fishies yeah oh we got a salmon perfect now that I think of it this might actually be a way better source of food for us

Although I don’t know that I can see myself constantly fishing on Skyblock we got stuff to do speaking of stuff to do it’s back at the cobblestone generator for a while we’re really getting low on Cobble and I’m not gonna lie I have been procrastinating grinding Cobblestone

It’s just so painful I can’t wait until we have iron and I can make a cool cobblestone generator the more I sit here and think about this cobblestone generator the more I realize we are wasting quite a lot of precious resources in this cobblestone generator which should definitely just make our

Cobblestone generator out of cobblestone and put it in the bunker yeah let’s let’s do that where’s my bucket hello bucket oh it’s in my inventory I’m fine I’m thinking we’ll just expand the little safety bunker out this way and add in a little Cobblestone generating platform that should solve

All of our problems it is this lava perfect and there we go cobblestone generator it’s like a weird little balcony I like it actually it’s quite good still hugely inefficient but you know what can you do since we’ve got that I also feel like we could probably turn

This into an actual ladder now hold on hold on I just I take that thank you there we go sorry sugar cane now let’s go ahead and grow all of this so that we can move it to a better location the next objective that I need to take care

Of in this world is most certainly going to be getting dirt dirt in Skyblock is extremely valuable because we can’t just go and mine it I mean we we can we have these little islands that we can get a little bit it’s actually a way in vanilla that you can duplicate your dirt

Let me know in the comments you know what I’m talking about we’ll get to that next episode there we go and with that we are down to one single layer of dirt right here and I’m Gonna Leave This here because this was our original Island maybe we’ll be able to do something with

It in the future now let’s tuck away these valuable seeds and dirt for now and I think it’s time to expand the island Island there goes another X just so you’re aware I’ve officially broken eight stone axes I think most of those were in this episode there has been an expansion gosh

This place looks weird now it’s almost a little too clean there’s a Skyblock where’s the Chaos I think my goal is going to be turning this giant sort of rectangle into a circle or probably an oval because you know ovals so that means from each Corner we’re gonna have

To expand out probably by two and then by three to make them curved like so I just think this would help a lot when we’re expanding if we can just expand the circle every time circle is officially in and now I’m just going around with a little bit of spruce

As sort of a trim it’s for the aesthetic okay the aesthetic first iron ingots yes oh that is so exciting it’s all coming together now everyone oh and I guess with the bones we can also go ahead and do this and yeah we get some more flowers but Matt’s

Probably gonna bother somebody I’m sorry I’ll even out our oval eventually now that we’ve got a ton of Bones this glowberry Farm can definitely move we don’t really need to be farming these right in the middle here I went ahead and spent a little bit of time

Organizing the island setting up a tree farm for the oak trees the cocoa beans and also spreading out our tall Mega spruce trees we get lots more wood now the main thing we need is the actual Farms and unfortunately that’s the last of my dirt I’ll have to make it my

Mission to make sure that we get more dirt very soon but for now this is not a bad crop field I am certainly feeling so much more organized now oh my gosh we’ve got our fishing Hut out there got our lovely mob spawner over here which is

Already given us a few rare drops oh let’s see what this witch gives us please give me something good please give me something good Redstone yes there we go which power advancement made this custom advancements are so cool don’t forget to subscribe and join me in

The next episode where we are going to figure out how to complete our goal of getting more and more dirt I have a feeling it’s going to involve something very very dangerous we have a lot more expanding to do on this island and so many more Adventures to have if you’re

Enjoying this series please leave a like on the video and I’ll see you all in the next one goodbye everyone
