Minecraft VR: Surviving Your First Night – PART 1 (HTC Vive)

Hello everybody I’m in the letter word also known as Martin and welcome back to the HTC vive this time inside of Minecraft I’ve said that I’ve not done much minecraft content over the last year or two and if I did come back to it it would be in Virtual Reality so you

Can see I’ve got my two hands here I’ve literally jumped straight into this I don’t know the controls I don’t know anything I know that I can do this I can punch wood away ok that’s going to take some going that bloody oh come on there

You go you forget how much of a physical effort minecraft can be if you don’t play it very often and it looks like I could scroll between items with the matter with the wheel on my left hand so the circle pad if I just sort of brush

Across it I can switch between items in my main hand which is pretty cool how do I place oh no that’s that one what about if I click the wheel and ah cool so click is right click and then the trigger at the back is the left click

And it looks like if I do that I can also strike with that as well oh this is so cool so inventory was what clicking that one in and then I could move stuff around of my inventory oh my god this is so good I

Still have my winter skin on as well and then click that to get rid is there anything that I need I guess I need to learn how to move don’t I so it’s not that one I think I’ve used everything there what about options no nothing on

That one what about no nothing on you trigger aha there we go so now I can move around like this ah this is so cool right okay well I’m literally just going to jump straight into this I have asked people on Twitter if they would like to

See like a full minecraft letsplay don’t in virtual reality can you imagine going to the nether go into the end fighting the dragon come at it how big is going to look I mean I always forget that in Minecraft VR that two blocks is the height of a single person like it’s

Craziness like if I go like this look at that that’s as big as me I thought like jump to like over the top of it it’s ridiculous so I want to see how easy crafting is going to be not only in my inventory screen but also inside of a

Crafting table as well so if I grab you I go like that now if I click in with that one oh I can even split the stacks as well so good okay just turn all of that into wood so right-click right-click right-click right-click ok yeah this works exactly how I thought it

Might do this is fantastic ok I’m going to make some sticks all baby services like this is stuff that everybody knows in Minecraft but doing it inside of an oculus rift or inside of a HTC vive is so cool and obviously this is going to be a very different experience than the oculus

Rift as well because the oculus rift is very much so a sit-down experience whereas this one is very much so you’re walking around you can interact with stuff as well like I can punch the grass there if I really wanted to come on okay no not oh

No I can with that one okay and I do have further reach with this as well so obviously I can reach up there whereas if I want to take it with my hand I’d literally have to be that tall why I can come across the here go like that can I

Hit the chicken come here you bugger they go oh yeah they go I got it it’s just gonna run around like crazy now hey yup may add – going let me say hello to you it’s that trigger isn’t it bugger off yes look at that kicking some serious ass right now how

Do I interact with that it’s gonna be that one is there and then that brings up the big crafting table it’s so cool seeing this in front of me so let’s do what every good minecraft player should do we need to build ourselves a house we

Need to get ourselves up to stone tools by the end of the first day because I’m not ready for skeletons and zombies and God knows what else in the first evening like I played a couple of our VR games recently and seen the enemy that’s the

Same physical size as you is a much more daunting than when you’re just playing it through a computer screen because your brain instant it has that fight-or-flight thing kick in and it’s pretty scary so if I go like that I want to bring the crafting table with me and

Then I think I’d probably want to get some food actually just to make sure that I don’t starve during my first day so if I stand about here and go like that ah do the so cool let’s go get the sheep as well to get some wool for a bed

There you go you can dark around oh come here come here come here where he’s gone he’s got that way I’ve gotta go try getting down there you go and I kind of walk around in my physical space as well which is really really cool I don’t want to make sure I don’t

Hit the camera I get cameras over there that’s one thing in these videos that everyone finds funny is that I have no clue half the time which direction I’m facing that’s the ax I want to go like that one instead there you go nice out on one

Shot kill let’s get back over to the water because there were so many of them over there and there were also more sheep as well oh God oh okay now this is a strange experience one thing it hasn’t done yet though is it hasn’t like made my hearing go on

Muffle e which is something that I was anticipating let me go back down one block there you go go back die die they are got one hit on him we gon we gon do it don’t you try and run away from me and then you as well commit there you go

God is so weird seeing me like this deep in the water like you can go above and beneath as well is so cool I love when I get giddy about VR because it’s just like it’s genuine excitement there’s not a lot of tech that can blow me away

Nowadays but VR just seems to go above and beyond constantly there you go look at that we got so much stuff already now there was a cave back this way I kind of want to go inside of it and go and grab some stone if we could now I don’t know

How it works with falling down gaps I don’t know how far I’m allowed to forward you get what I mean so if I was to like stand up say oh I don’t have a jump limit okay so if I go like that I think I can jump

A little higher than usual but how far can I fall without taking for damage so if I stand stay here where I can really see the floor cut and if I go like that will this hurt me no it won’t okay so I can traverse the world a little bit

Easier in VR so as much as I’m going to have a lot of disadvantages if I end up doing this as a let’s play I have a lot of advantages as well when it comes to certain items and certain perspective moments so right let’s right-click on

You it’s that one isn’t it yeah rights I’m going to need another stick so I’m gonna need to click click there you go I’m gonna take a little while for this to feel natural but I’m getting there very quickly they go right there’s a pickaxe for me I’ll close that off for

Now all my stuff will fall over that way right here we go oh god this is so weird this is the first time I’m actually mined in Minecraft like this because as much as I had the razor hydras last time they certainly weren’t as one-to-one as

This this is just like so cool you can see my crosshair going crazy it’s already I automatically start to get quite dark I don’t think it is a go couple more of those I’m going to move to my center of my place space there it

Is I don’t want to like run into too many issues with punching the walls there are people trying to film next door to me so be very rude if I just burst through the wall like Terry Crews on a speedboat you know which one I’m talking about from that weird Old Spice

Commercial right okay so we got some stone stuff no you know what it is getting dark oh can I just I don’t know what to do oh god I really don’t wanna deal with creepers on the first day there you go let’s go for that one there we’re gonna make ourselves a

Sword to begin with just to make sure I’ve got the best protection possible let’s go for a better pickaxe just because then I can mine everything a lot quicker there you go I thought I would have found some like surface iron by now because this area seems like pretty like bountiful and I

Think that might be okay maybe I can never woodcutting axe I mean they’re all pretty much about I say they’re not that came they’re maybe not the same but you know I mean I never really noticed too much difference between stone and wood right god damn it’s getting real dark

Real quick uh oh god I could hear a zombie I have not prepared for this ah oh god I can really hear them like instantly Oh get rid of that oh god what me doing so I want to bring that with me bigger the best thing is I

Can look around the place and then I can’t bring stuff with me okay let’s try going up this way then let’s figure out what’s going on so up into the water probably or over that way I just really don’t wanna come across any spiders I don’t mind if we come

Across a zombie I’ve got my sword in hand oh it’s really tiny it’s a lot smaller than I thought you would be good god right there is another sheep just there so I can get you come in actually wait wait if I do this and I’ll just

Hold the left trigger there you go I’ve got a hell of a lot more reach there I could probably run away from some bees pretty quickly as well alright here we go oh you’ve got an access what this isn’t fit okay there you go okay we have to

Try harder whoa whoa dudes dudes back it up ah no dead I mean I could set myself to challenge that I always have to do this I mean I get really tired really quickly but I don’t know I feel like I would never be at the end the dragon otherwise okay

You stay back oh my god we’re gonna destroy it where’s my sword let me go over this leg let me try and find my sword oh my salt lemon in my hand I could try my regular axe well that was on me go there is there is coming here on your bugger

I’m gonna reach forward there ya go I mean he’s still got a hit on me I’m down to half health already that’s ridiculous right let me use this axe we’ll try and make a house of some sort right now we can also see if we can make ourselves

A torch as well I guess we can burn some wood in a furnace and make some charcoal to make some torches that could light our house up that could be pretty cool we’ve already got a couple of feathers as well for arrows so that’ll be fine

Right here we go um they go come on come on guys to having it come up oh that chicken is like invincible what why are you so strong chicken oh there you go that’s like what the jig is just chilling out doing his own thing chicken Montoya returns did I actually get

Everything by the way where’s my inventory screen let’s switch some stuff back inventory management it’s actually quite easy to do in this as well pleasantly surprised by that tell you what let’s go grab a bit more stone we’ll make a furnace I think we’re just going to have to

Survive the first night outdoors I was going to title this episode how to survive your first night but I don’t really feel like this is any sort of guide just yet so let me get the pickaxe out where is it there you go alright to mine away

That one and step back a little bit there you go alright do that one oh no the skeletons those guys I really can’t deal with right now oh god I don’t know where they are that’s it just keep mining up there there you go I can’t quite reach that

One I just have to hold by trigger for that gone look how high up I can reach that’s crazy I can they reach like so far above now that I’ve got like real perspective on it of how big it is compared to a real person that’s so far

Away I do hear this cover somewhere as well I sweat I bet he’s going to come down here any second isn’t he cut damn it maybe I should just like put myself in a little hole in the wall should I do that let’s do that I can put myself in a

Little hole in the wall and place down a few dirt blocks I’ll be fine so let’s put that just there let’s get a couple of dirt blocks and just start building so it’s that one it’s it to place oh god that’s not where I wanted to go all

There you go try again there you go right where’s some stone got planet your stone house which is good there you go gonna hole myself up now I don’t know how much I’m gonna be able to see in the dark oh this is really scary

The only thing light in the way for me really is the hood which is kind of interesting that the hood always stays on your left hand I don’t know if that’s what it’s like in the oculus version because this is a fan-made mod maybe they’ve seen what the oculus version has

Done and just mimics it but I can’t confirm that let’s turn these you’ve a charcoal don’t do that don’t do that let’s make a furnace first don’t it’s funny I’m a crafting table firstly boom there you go alright I’m going to right-click on you right furnace time so it’s that one like

That ah baby look at this this is really cool actually I’m very tempted to do this as like a proper let’s play I think the challenges that VR present kind of add like this whole new feel to the game it’s like it’s kind of like the handicap

That we’ve never really been able to have in this game why are you so high up there I don’t like that let me try again I know you are just super high I guess you sit above the furnace don’t you so tell you if I switch out to my pickaxe I

Do quite like that though I like the idea that it appears above the thing itself yeah howdy right so we need so is it wood above regular wood there you go woah all this looks so cool I’ve never been able to appreciate ah hahaha it’s something I’ve never been able to

Appreciate this before like just how much actually like something up this is crazy okay right anyway let’s see what we’re doing here let’s dig out a little bit more at this wall I really could do with finding some iron stuff maybe even some cows make some leather armor

Although I know a lot of people they tend to just skip the lever arm I don’t think they just go straight for iron stuff like as soon as they’ve got a little bit of food and wood oh then they end up getting straight beneath the surface to go and find some gear right

Okay so let me quickly craft myself a couple more sticks I don’t got some already actually there you go those two – they’re nice and I’ll say one bit of charcoal for some smelting if that’s something that we need in the future so torches a little part me was really

Hoping that the torch would light up when I hold it in my hand but never mind I’m sure that can be modded in to be fair I’m sure that can be modded in right there was something there before what we owe you are like a cabinet so weird

Alright I’m kind of stood inside of it right now my immersion is broken oh wait did that put me up a block oh no way so when you walk off the edge it drops me down is so cool so I can physically interact with like climbing blocks by walking into them not that

I’ll use that that often but that is very cool to know let’s get rid of these on tier I don’t think anything’s going coming forwards from this angle I can even put down something a bit a bit higher up just so there’s a gap so the

Lights coming in and then it’s not all based on the torch light so there there and there yeah looks all right got a nice little hidey-hole just here okay so we’ve set up our first base for the first night I mean the moon is going to take a long

Time for it to set so let’s see what else we can craft right now I don’t know if I’ve got anything at all to craft we got some rotten flesh oh we could cook some chicken yeah let’s do that let’s do a little bit of cooking on the

First day so I’m gonna throw you into there I don’t know throw some chicken in the top Oh baby I should make a chest as well actually I didn’t think about that so this is going to be our like our home point we should make sure that we can

Store some items here so grab all of you because I imagine I’m going to die quite a lot so having like a little like the positive stuff it’s gonna be a good idea you’re gonna live just there ah this is so good I’m really ready into this I do

Actually have if I go and get some wool I probably could make a bed I said sorry not what if I went and get some wood I’ve got enough wool to make a bed yeah let’s do that so I’ll leave those in here just in case I die and I lose them

Let’s go outside and go grab ourselves just a tiny little bit of wood so there’s a tree a tree like right there so we’ll be fine Oh oh it’s a bit dark I can’t really figure out what’s going on here let’s just try that a go that working ah how

Much I wish I had the timber mod I’ve been played a lot of speed UHC recently and I could really go for that timber mod oh I like walked forward underneath there that’s so good I am so into this now why I’m wondering is you know you

Can walk into a block for it to go upwards I’m wondering what happens if I place a block directly beneath me so if I go like this what my god oh no I can’t I can’t build a noob tower oh no dude okay nevermind well let’s uh right let’s see if we can

Make this bed before the Sun properly rises we might be able to sleep a tiny bit of the day off so crafting table here we go so we won on it wrong one right crafting table you want one there oh it’s across the middle isn’t it

Ah there you go you to their honor but I need to make the wood first okay hold on hold on I don’t you – there you two there right wood planks there you go so you’re across there boom you across there you across there yes okay cool bed right where’s the bed

Gonna live I guess just here yeah there you go sleep ah you can only sleep a night I missed it I missed my one and only chance goddamn it right well anyway I think we’ve got a pretty good start to the day there I’m gonna make a doorway for this just

Before we finish up but if you have any challenges for me like maybe I could try and get the entire achievement tree inside of VR that would be quite a feat or even just completing the vanilla campaign as well let me know down in the comment section below what you would

Like to see from this series and I’ll be sure to read all of those and I’ll have a little chat about it in the comment section and other than that thank you very much for watching and I will see you all next time bye rev the cameras bye
