Better Minecraft PLUS EP21 Exploring The Afterlight

Hey guys and welcome back this is joe’s arctic and today we’re diving back into some more better minecraft plus ah so this nice new area that we have set up it’s just giving me some good vibes i’m just able to sit here you know relax like my just admire all the stuff

That we have done thus far and uh well think about what is to come because there’s honestly a lot more work ahead of us there are a couple of dimensions that we haven’t even touched yet in this mod pack one of those uh actually has a little bit of work

Required to get into it so that is called the after light i believe it’s called yeah the after light this stuff right here uh you’re gonna find deep underground i have actually mined several of them um the void but you’re also gonna find moon crystals

Um and stuff like that as you mine uh but apparently these void rocks are pretty important and uh there’s a structure that i have found that’s actually not too far away and we’re also gonna need some sticks um so that’s basically it that’s all we’re really

Gonna need i know it sounds crazy but this is the stuff you’re gonna have to find now my dragon over here is pretty much ready to go we go and scoop our dragon up uh because i’m gonna take my dragon for a little bit of a ride today i figure why not use

Our dragon uh we have it available to us let’s head above ground let’s place our dragon down and get ready to set foot on our flying beast there we go okay so perfect we’re on our flying beast that actually goes quite fast like this is not something that is slow

Um if i remember correctly all the way over here there was a village that i remember seeing there’s a structure in that village this thing right here this this black structure i believe is the structure we need but there might be one closer to us so on my way they’re discovering uh some

New land look at this look at this thing wow this is a mat another massive structure absolutely gorgeous i mean honestly man this is some creative work right here i really love seeing these massive build oh and it looks like there’s a uh another structure kind of engulfed

Inside of it it’s so interesting how these spawn because one of these had to spawn first and thus created this interesting i wonder if i i mean i should probably take a peek in here and see there’s anything worth taking it almost looks like the librarian section up there

Very similar to some other structures that i’ve seen and there’s prismarine down here we can give it a good shock see if there’s any bad guys down here and you know maybe destroy some of it oh you get i love this dragon it’s so cool with the fire and everything

All right let’s land our dragon pop off here oh so fun and we ended up getting inter sandman that’s an interesting thing we’ll pop on here and let’s give this thing a look look around i know we’re going after the afterlife uh light mod today but

Still i want to give this a peek see and see exactly what this is all about i’m not seeing oh the clouds are there that’s so weird i was like where’s the mobs okay chess oh that’s my dragon chess what do you got in here okay so good good stuff i’ll take the

Bottle laura anything else in here that’s like really good i’m not seeing a whole lot i mean yeah that’d be really good early on but to me uh action pages i’ll take that as the champions i don’t think i have i’ll take any of the food too like

Food right now is something that i just don’t have a lot of surprisingly oh there’s just not a whole lot of food so if i get any i will definitely take some i could just trade with villagers for food honestly that’s another thing i could do look how big this go i mean

This is huge wait are these wither skeletons yes they are i wonder if they drop their heads like that’s always something i’m kind of curious about some of them will some of them want and then down here’s another chest man the flight makes this so powerful though there’s some bread

And more gunpowder which means i can blow more stuff which is always worth it oh there’s you i’m not worried about you too much gunpowder though man i’ll take all the gunpowder crazy but yeah this structure seems to be kind of worth it a little bit there’s a spider area

Oh look at all the invisible spiders that’s so creepy yep all right well i think i think enough viewing of this thing i’m sure there’s a whole lot more to discover here but i’ve got a head we got we got a dimension to go to today you know while

I was here i decided um i should probably take like one of these banners maybe you know what the bandit i decided to go ahead and make a full set of armor for this bad boy this is a throw it on there show you what it looks like

Because it honestly makes this dragon look even more dope look how sick this dragon looks toothless is now rocking a gold set of armor oh it’s so cool so i believe this to be perfect timing it is just now becoming night go ahead and grab our dragon and this right here

This is what we need to get into so after light we need this these and some sticks and supposedly this thing should work this is a respawn catalyst interesting a rune but this is the altar it has to be night time i don’t know if it has to be perfectly full moon

But we should be able to click this on here is there actual rune recipes like this and this huh i don’t know too much about this particular ritual altar there’s no information oh achievement made spawn point link chosen arctic is made advancement you sure this works so i

Checked in here and so this must be what this is about but it says obtain something to obtain some strange obsidian uh but how do we obtain it that is the thing spawn point linked i thought voidrock was involved but i think this mod has been totally changed

Since uh any of the information that i’ve seen about it has been put up interesting this and some sticks maybe oh i’m gonna have to do some more research i guess to figure this out because i have nothing so after a little bit of digging i ended up finding the

Wiki and there’s a little bit more information on there apparently i put one of these or i can do that now it may be because i need the moon but we need six of these and i thought i tried this and hit okay and nothing’s happening

Does it have to be a full moon yep even the wiki here says first the player must craft strange obsidian by placing a piece of void rock in the middle slot of the ritual altar it’s in the middle slot and then six crushed brushed moon oh so how do we do that

So we need to make a hammer that’s good thing we have all this stuff right we need a hammer and of course phantoms because why not phantoms so let’s make a little bit of that i see i see how this is gonna work okay so that made four

And we need enough to get into this dimension so we’re gonna need enough of these to make a full portal that makes a lot more sense so two more of these and we should have plenty to craft oh no it used it used it oh no it yeah

He used it even though i oh it doubled up oh that’s a bummer i hope i have enough i i should be i should have enough i can’t believe i did well i guess i have enough right here the 12 is all you need to start a portal i guess and then

It said take take a stick and do this or is it crushed i think it’s too regular and then this gets surrounded with crushed there we go and we get a staff of moonlight interesting um and i think that’s it but we use this to light the portal

And we’re good to go so i should probably make sure we save this because we know where it’s at uh of course i know where it said i have a town right here that has a way away stone but i guess we we head back to the base

And we’ll we’re going to light this thing i think this is going to be a great spot for because we can even decorate the area like we just basically expanded our base just so we can have more portals to go to random places so i

Think this lights it oh it does look how pretty that is pretty custom portal now i have shaders i might determine whether or not i’m going to be using shaders in this dimension here in a second but we’ll we’ll see how this goes sometimes just doesn’t look good but i think we

Should step into this portal all right so we’re in here i do have shaders on at the moment and i can tell you it is incredibly dark and i don’t see any glitching or anything which is kind of a good sign i have a way stone too just to make sure i can

Get here after light and what does this dimension have to offer now we do have many ways of searching this dimension we can of course go underground but look at this pretty skeleton a dark skeleton what are you gonna give me anything good okay mildly dangerous wasn’t very dangerous but it did

You know didn’t do any damage to me yet i wonder how deadly they actually are oh that’s right you’re infected with weakness you can’t even attack me oh you gotta love the weakness it’s absolutely insane this is such an insane legendary weapon i should probably take

It off just to make it more fun so this is a moon spawn pretty easy to tap nothing uh nothing crazy there and i can definitely tell we’re pretty high up pretty high up um glowing fields i wonder i know there’s a couple of items from this mod that are

Really powerful that i would love to get ah we’ve encountered these from the dungeons mod i am not a friend of the dungeons mod hunters they killed me once before they won’t do it again not this time no they will not look at these i mean there’s ant they are rough

Hunters are rough okay but that’s they’re not from this mod they’re from a separate mod just looking around seeing ah there’s the stuff with the sky see i think that’s just shaders doing that interesting we cross biomes now i know this uh this mod claims to be in update

So it is uh is working on being updated and stuff like that and things are changing so keep in mind what you’re seeing here may not be what you see several months from now it may be completely different oh these are bright and glowy also twisty bulbs

I wonder if these are all shearable these are definitely bright oh my eyes aura crystals uh we also got living essence all the substances have found them serious creatures and we can use this to make eyes of ender interesting this is not dropping at all we need silk touch because this does not

Help touch on it huh let’s do some more adventuring there’s some flowers over here for trees big chunk missing out of the world understandable hopefully we does not mean it doesn’t mean the crash isn’t coming uh okay so moon prism or if i break this and it doesn’t actually

Give us yeah i think it not giving us things is probably due to uh just just the fact that the world’s just not loading so after a brief restart um yeah these do drop blocks like i said it was just that issue um i don’t know there’s some kind of world gin

Crashing thing that happened may not even bit may not have even been as a result of the uh the mod itself who knows i have no idea but i can say more of these structures have have popped up look at that weird fade as it goes in there that’s something to do

With the shaders of course not all dimensions have support for shaders at least this one doesn’t have a super crazy glitchy sky even though i know that it’s supposed to be dark like this which is definitely fits that mood a lot more all right let’s head over these trees it does seem

Like the world is generating now now that i’m not flying around or maybe it is generating or not i there we go yeah it’s generating slowly but surely but we have these trees okay so within this mod uh one thing that definitely appeals to me is this thing right here the elemental amulet

I don’t really know how to obtain it uh but it does come from here it’s a legendary relic worn by accomplished adventurers in the afterlife blue gives haste green gives luck and red gives lifesteal that sounds really good like to me uh but does it mean we need

To adventure we can’t craft it so it must be something that is just obtained through some means or maybe it doesn’t have a means of being obtained i don’t what is that those are giant music notes giant note blocks floating in the sky oh no this is not in here is it please

This is a siren head i thought i was oh my gosh what has this is this part of the dungeons mod oh my the dungeons mod you ridiculous fool you it’s called the note head oh man i what what do you even do what happens when you kill it does it drop anything

No it’s seriously just what a distraction oh boy i guess because not much spawns here the stuff from the dungeon mod is just spotting here that’s funny that that one actually kind of kind of made me chuckle a little bit so with me not seeing a whole lot above ground

I wonder what’s underground and is the stuff that’s underground where we’re going to find some of the cool stuff like are there baby chests down here like their special ore moonstone ore not seeing like any chest or anything like that but this is something new like some kind of special biome this is

From this mod with pearl ore bloodstone ore hmm Wonder what all this is about and then we also have some of this over here which is the blood moss i wonder if that has anything to do with uh what if this stuff has anything to do let’s see is this breakable ah just turns into normal stuff

I wonder if it has anything to do with this because it talks about red blue and green all those different things combined together not just not much underground either though um so if you’re doing a bit more you know researching researching and looking around i can definitely say there’s a lot of

Cool building blocks in this dimension and uh some interesting mobs a lot of mobs i mean there’s not a whole lot of mobs i mean these are basically the ones that exist this is the moon fox which is pretty cute pretty cute little fella i actually might

Capture this guy there we go it will take it home with us um but as far as uh wood goes this tree right here is probably one of my favorites that is in this dimension as the wood is this color look at this this is pretty like a really pretty color of log

What a texture like i really like some blue logs with some dark on them like this i don’t know let me see my axes right here i didn’t get to see what it looks like when they’re stripped oh so you can’t strip them okay so yeah they don’t have a stripped variant unfortunately

But as you can see really pretty i even grab some of the leaves because i want to take some of those back to the base to decorate that area but as far as that goes there’s a few different types of ore there’s moon ore which i looked into and you can make

Some swords which is part of the quest line i believe and then there’s this stuff the uh lunarite scrap which i could not find however it does show you can get it from this lunarete de breeze which from what i’m guessing is incredibly difficult to probably find um as it’s deep underground probably

Around the same level that ancient debris is given the name i’m just guessing there because there’s no real information on it and since i didn’t find any in any of the caves i’m assuming that that’s the case but yeah this uh this mod definitely has some uh

Some room to grow as i’m sure most mods in this these packs are not all of them are completely finished this one’s definitely not um but yeah it definitely has some potential i’m kind of uh i’ll keep my i’m gonna be keeping my eye on this one

Because it does have some cool stuff there was even like skeletons just like laying dead on the ground which looked kind of cool just chilling out kind of added to the atmosphere you kind of see them every now and then let’s see what we can do with this area

Over here so i’m thinking um expanding this making it look like this portal is sort of bleeding out into our area like the after light is coming coming to this place so i’m gonna fill well i’m gonna fill the walls with this this is probably gonna be a little bit mixed here

I’m gonna be breaking through a lot of this stuff oh like a i think there’s some sort of swapping tool i don’t know that’s it i there’s a couple of building tools that i i’m kind of missing this pack has a lot of building potential but man i really love my

Building tools where there’s like block swappers and things like that i know they’re more techie gadgets but man like dyers gadgets and stuff those are really really really helpful building gadgets uh even that’s the exact name there we go like this right here and then i definitely need

To do some sprucing up of the uh the upper bit here and probably add some logs so here’s where these logs are gonna come in handy i’m definitely going to drop in some of these logs oh these logs are beautiful looking though look at this like if that’s missing

We can make it look like there’s some logs coming out here maybe a log sitting there and then add some of the actual logs in here what this wood is beautiful if i can say anything it’s the texturing on this one it is fantastic wow okay man that is there’s some nice colors

And they tile perfectly all right what to do here maybe i’m going to take this and use this as the backdrop for the rest of this that should work almost uh covering everything up and then we’ll use some foliage to add into everything we don’t really have too much of a back there

This back is going to get covered i can’t really go through the portal 100 percent yeah i’m going to cover the back here nobody nobody looks at the back you know if you you can ask green about what happens in the back of builds green will let you know nothing nothing really goes

On back there’s no no need to do it all right so with that i think i’m going to clear this out a little bit because that definitely adds a little bit of uh weirdness to the top so take this and throw maybe what throw some logs in sideways

That’ll give that a lot more space up there perfect if you ever wondered what goes through my brain while i’m building well now you know now you can now you can hear what’s going on It’s like chosen talking talking to himself while building but man this is absolutely beautiful i’m loving this let’s get rid of this and we’ll refill with that same with this side and then what other stuff there was these crystals that were in here you get those added in

Uh maybe add it to the roof here i’m digging that this whole area is about to is like blossoming perfect i love when things come together i love when things come together yeah this definitely has to go there we go cover this up i feel like that’s kind of out of the in

The way maybe it will make it look like this is the crystal here there we go that fits in a lot better wow um or we can add maybe the ore into the walls here even though this ore is kind of a rare it a rarity as far as uh materials go

But i’m really just i’m using the decorate now there was this green wood as well this stuff um is basically the same as the blue but as you can see look at the look at the green texture this is actually a really good green texture as well but i’m not going with

The green i just wanted to show it it’s it is really nice i can definitely say that uh i think you can place down these as well as lights they basically say they work as torches i also grabbed some foliage don’t know where i can place these i

Think they have to be placed on the dirt or the soil let’s see do we have i don’t think there was any kind of like soil so if i grab some regular dirt um there was a wand that would convert the dirt like this regular dirt into the variant

But this can go on i think i have to have silk touch for it though kind of unfortunate because i really want to place this stuff down huh it doesn’t really place down anything does it let’s check the uh after there’s the slight this is what the dirt was i believe

Nope that doesn’t go on it either man these are actually some really pretty looking flowers well that’s a bummer well other than that i mean this is basically it i think i’m gonna clear this section here add some of the slate instead of this dirt and it looks pretty good

Make this expand out and have this expand out as well and we’ll just tuck this in here making it look like it’s always been here cover these back walls and i can tell you what this right here really starting to fit in i’m liking the whole vibe what’s going on very nice

It’s almost like he’s erupted out of this area and he watched all of this take place in such a short amount of time as well well guys you know how i roll we have this absolutely beautiful landscape over here but i do want to give a huge shout out to the sponsor of
