Minecraft Theta SMP: Episode 3 | “Starting Our Base”

Alrighty guys what’s going on linky here and welcome back to another episode of the theta SMP server in the previous episode I showed you guys my new little base and I also went over a couple things with you we went into the nether we did a little group nether event that

Was a lot of fun as well as we did a little bit of work with pires we helped him get his nether portal and all that stuff set up and it was pretty fun so today guys we’re gonna be taking a little break from all the exciting stuff

We’re gonna be getting down to the nitty-gritty kind of work stuff whereas we’re going to be working on our house let me just turn that down a bit we’re going to work on our base today now I know that probably doesn’t sound as exciting as like last episode which was

Another event and all that stuff but today is just going to be mainly a talking video just going over a few things getting a lot of stuff set up for the server and I’m very excited for so for it so i can’t speak either it is currently friday it is the day before

New York is supposed to get hit by the giant snowstorm so we’re kind of all prepping for that right now so a lot of my time hasn’t really been put into making content it’s mainly been towards prepping my whole family’s been prepping for the snowstorm so I apologize if I

Can’t get out a lot of content if there’s no content this weekend because we were out of power I can’t upload videos so that’s mainly what’s happening I apologize for any inconveniences later on in the week end of you guys like can’t get any videos or anything like

That I’ll try my hardest to pre-record some content for you guys today so that you guys are all good for the weekend so with that being said that all cleared up let’s go ahead use these dark oak planks to cook this but today we’re going to be

Doing a little bit of housework so what we’re gonna do first is we’re gonna begin work on a little farm so firstly what we need to do is we need to get some some planks and then we need to get a stick so we’re going to work on this

Is going to be also I probably should have mentioned this before I lost my old base in between episodes like I couldn’t find it so what we’re going to be doing instead is here on this little island we’re going to be building a farm out in

The water here so we’re going to expand the Allen this way and we’re gonna build a farm in on this part of galland we’re going to build my base it’s going to be all around like I love the area we have here there’s dark oak forest all around us and to this side

There’s an ocean that we can just honestly do whatever we want with so I think it’s going to be really cool and I’m very excited for it so what we’re going to do first to prep for that is we’re gonna take some of this dart we’re going to be we’re going to begin

Building a little dirt platform over to the farm so it’s going to go like this we’re going to go for out like this like so and then we’re going to move it down to three for a little bit like this let’s count how many is this one two

Three four 1234 so then it’s going to go to to like this so that’s two more and that’s going to be actually we’re going to expand this I think by one so we’ll do that alright so that’s going to be the pathway so essentially what we’re doing here is we’re building a little

Bit of a farm so what I also need to do is hang on we’re going to bring let’s just bring out the platform a bit so this is going to be a probably not the most efficient farm in the world but it’s going to suit our needs for the

Time being and the reason I chose to do it on the water is because we really don’t have to aqua made it at all we can just keep it on the water make ourselves a hoe and we should be good to work with that so we it really only need a wood

How I doubt I’m going to be using it too much so we can just grab that we’re also going to grab the 19 seeds that we have on us I’m gonna go off into the woods and also grab some more seeds as well but I just figure this would be a nice

Start and we’re just going to dig away at the dirt here and this this hoe should last us the entire time I hope let’s see we can make it last two more lines can we get it yes we can perfect so that’s going to be getting to

Acclimate and we can expand this even more if we so choose we can maybe bring it out one more if we really wanted to i think i might do that here let’s see can we from the hall this yes it can I think we should be able to do it three more

Okay hose out so we gotta replenish it a little bit let’s head back over here but this is the farm owned to be setting up we’re going to be getting putting down these seeds as well so for now it’s going to be a basic wheat farm nothing

Too special with it I’m going to get some lighting around it in a second that way it can always be lit up and always be growing but let’s just make another house so we can finish off plot of the land here all right awesome so the idea I came up with this idea

Mainly because I wanted something that wasn’t directly on the island so I thought to myself this is probably the perfect spot I can build little alcove we can do it here this didn’t seem to get planish okay there it is but it’s a great spot to do it because it doesn’t

Interrupt the main island and it’s also really close so if we wanted to make sort of like a back door to the house here we could go out and access the garden from here so now we need to do is we need to make some lighting as you can

See I have some diamond tools on me pyrus in the previous episode if you guys did not see I don’t know if it was on camera he gifted me 16 diamonds so I use those to make all my tools I haven’t made a sword yet because I really

Haven’t found it necessary to make a sword but what we’re going to do now that we have that we’re gonna head down here so I’ve been mining a bit so this is my little mind that i’ve been working on just gathering stone and all that stuff we’re going to grab some stone

Here and i just want to see if we can find a neat coal if we can get really lucky it might be like right behind this wall but we will see let’s see are we gonna get anything i don’t think so okay well since it’s not there that was kind

Of just like me hoping we’re going to do is we’re going to make an axe so I don’t have a diamond axe yet so there’s never a better time let’s see do we have yes we do okay so what I’m gonna do is I’m gonna make a diamond axe and we’re going

To make some charcoal since Kol I’ve been having I’m gonna be completely honest I’ve had some issues acquiring coal on the server as of late it seems like I’m able to find iron fine even though don’t have any on me right now I’m able to find all that stuff fine i’m

Able to find these nice cool little spots above my base when it comes to getting charcoal or coal it’s kind of becoming impossible so we’re just going to grab some trees here it’s probably the easiest way for us to get some coal now if you guys are really old minecraft

Players like if you guys have been playing for maybe upwards of four years you’ll remember a time back in minecraft beta and as well minecraft alpha where coal wasn’t what’s the word it wasn’t it was very rare it was very rare to acquire you had to really go looking for

If you didn’t find it on your first night you had to be in the dark the night it was always a worry for people oh look at this I did not know this was here okay this will be cool there’s coal right down there but we can

Go and grab that that’s perfect where did i saw it i think i saw it down yes there’s coal right over there so that’s fine so we really don’t need these trees i guess we can just use this for wood but back then there is no such thing as

Charcoal so you couldn’t make the coal for yourself you had to find it if you didn’t find it on your first night playing in a new world or a new seed you really II was very scary back when minecraft was really scary before they had the hunger mode and all that stuff

It was a difficult game at first you really had to work hard to get your resources to survive all that stuff nowadays people kind of make it out to be a bit more of an easy game but it used to be a very difficult game and in

My opinion they should bring it back to what it was like minecraft has always been a game focused on the survival aspect of video games it was a survive and thrive game as paulsoaresjr named his series it was just the feeling you got from playing the game was a lot more

I wanted the word dark comes to my mind but it really wasn’t that dark it was more of just nerve-racking was a nerve-wracking experience playing it and people nowadays they play all these minigames and mess around in the game and troll on servers and all that stuff and they don’t remember like minecraft

Used to be a very difficult game it was a hard game I’m not gonna lie like just and since that it wasn’t as big on YouTube as it is now you couldn’t just get on and look up a guide for the game or look up how to play it and expect to

Find a lot of stuff like you really had to experiment with the game yourself and back then when notch was even still developing the game before it was Jeb in dinner bones before they sold it to mojang all that before they sold it to Microsoft all that stuff they really it

Was what not used to do was they would do thing called secret Friday’s so every Friday there would be a small patch to Minecraft and it would include a bunch of new things I remember at one point redstone was in it when redstone was first introduced into the game at one

Point they did was that coal now that wasn’t cool at one point they did um note blocks and pistons and all that stuff little fun fact before pistons were added into minecraft they were actually a mod so pistons were mod it was a mod for minecraft you could

Install to work with redstone redstone came out before pissed and people love to the mod so much like it was so popular with most people that like really made their channels or really worked hard in the game with redstone and like computer technology in the game that mojang decided to add it

In eventually so pistons are added and it was just cool it was cool to see that the community kind of influenced the game and the game kind of influenced the community and that’s always been something that has been very true with minecraft and even with 1.9 it’s still

True like 1.9 feels like a beta update to me it feels like the kind of update they would have done back in the olden days of minecraft when the beta was like the big thing and everyone was playing Survival and every when the like different things were added like when

The nether was added and it was just it was such an exciting time and you don’t see that as much anymore but I feel like with 1.9 for as much hate as people give the why is this one block not going I don’t get it I mean we could possible

Replace it for now but as much as hate as 1.9 does get from the PvP community AK the community I’m part of its gonna be a great update like I’m very confident that it’s going to be an awesome update and just for one side of the community not just the not the PvP

Side so I’m excited for it and I think for a series like theta it’s gonna bring a lot of cool stuff to theta alektra our wings that they’re adding into the game so you can now it’s a rare item you can get from dungeons or any of these things

And you can jump off like a really high point like up on top of this hill here and you can glide through the air and so cool it’s like I’m so excited for this update it might kill PvP definitely might do that but that might not

Necessarily be a very bad thing I mean the pvp community has been getting smaller and smaller over the past few years so it’s I can see it happening I think minecraft needs to take a new direction if it’s going to survive as a game and I think it’s where it’s headed

I think PvP might might end up taking a turn back to what survival was where PvP is just a fun thing to do with your friends so what I’ve done here is off camera I’ve made some stone bricks so what we’re gonna do let’s see this is for

So we’re going to do is we’re going to put it here and here is that the right distance that sounds yes okay so that’s going to be the exit out right here actually wait hang on we might need to do a three-way entry exit if we’re going

To make it match up with this let’s lay out the house forward to anything so like that and then what we’ll do is bring this out that’s too and it goes out we’re going to make this longer than that part of the house we’ll go this way

Like this I kind of want it to like I want it to work with like the land we have so I want the house to kind of expand the whole way we can cut it here though I think that’s good main entrance can be over here I think right there and

Then we can bring this out this way okay that looks good bring it over here that now break that good um actually hang on where do we want to I don’t want the house to be too big whereas I’d have to manage it a lot but we can definitely do

Something like this that’s gonna be the basic frame of the house okay that’s looking good I like the size of I think that’s going to be decent house but anyway guys I think I’m going to end off today’s episode here off camera I’m going to work on the house get the walls

Built up a little bit i gotta get my brother from the bus in the second so i got to cut this episode short at a random doesn’t get it uploaded for you guys but we’ve done a bit we’ve worked on our farm we’ve set up the starting

Points of our house we have found some coal and iron for the first time on the server and we’re really starting get established i’m excited i’m gonna probably go on a little mining excursion i might record it do you like some kind of QA for the next episode we might do

That if you do follow me on twitter I’ll be sure to tweet about it and I’ll say use hashtag blonde you can ask me questions yeah as always I’ve been linked II will see you all in the next video base
