I Built A CUSTOM LUSH ISLAND in Minecraft 1.18 Hardcore (#29)

Today we’re back in my 1.18 hardcore world and don’t mind me i’m just up here in my guardian farm getting some prismarine but ladies gentlemen today we have an amazing build plan for this episode i’m gonna make a custom island out here in the water it’s gonna be a

Beautiful lush jungle themed island with tons of cool details on it so my first idea was to transform this small island into my lush island but then i realized it’s just a little bit too close to the harbor so instead we’re gonna make a brand new island from scratch in the

Middle of the ocean there is much to do so let’s get to work but first i must sleep so if i’m gonna make a truly epic island i need to figure out how to build an island i have never done that before my solution load up a new minecraft

World and find islands for inspiration guys look it’s florida jokes aside i did some studying and now i felt confident okay i’m now a master of island building but that being said we have to decide where the island is actually gonna go exactly and i kind of like this area

Right down here it’s not too deep it’s nice and flat and most importantly it’s heavily visible from the harbor sounds good to me so what comes next well we have to grind for some materials yes mr b i agree and as i collect blocks please subscribe and hit the bell hey there

Guys where’s your buddy oh he must have despawned dang it don’t mind if i do all right we got a ton of materials so we can begin outlining the island let’s go this is so boring i’m so sick of placing grass already but on we go so we flew back out

To a field got some more blocks and got back to work and okay how are we looking with this thing it’s really big it’s a lot bigger than i expected but that’s perfect the bigger the better and i should mention this is not gonna stay all grass this is

Like a canvas for me and i’m gonna paint this canvas with different kinds of blocks to make it look more islandy so yeah there’s still a lot more work to do including making the entire bottom because right now this is just a disaster ah so much work but i’ll do it

For you guys i love you oh my gosh my shovel’s legit gonna break i was not paying attention so i’m gonna take a little pit stop at the enderman farm as a matter of fact i could probably make a portal in the nether to make this faster

All right let’s do this look at that idiot he’s still out here what a dummy all right coordinate book where is my stronghold right there just doing some nether math on my calculator it should be right here let’s try it out i didn’t bring a flint and steel yay what’s the

Point of a shulker box literally called farsi’s backpack if it doesn’t have a flint and steel in it all right take number two bang let’s try it out uh where are we oh i think i’m here aha that’s the hole all right fast travel to

The stronghold i love it so i ran to the stronghold found the portal and went to my enderman xp farm alright give me xp and that right there is much better back to work so i spent the rest of my night trying to turn this hunk of grass into a

Real island i surrounded the exterior with a beautiful sandy beach and that made this build come to life steve why am i steve i guess the minecraft servers are down but who cares we still have a beautiful island and oh my gosh guys look at this thing it looks

So good there is so much sand here and just to clarify there was no sand here before this was all placed down naturally and it took me a long time now i’m not saying it’s totally perfect it could use a little bit more polishing off but we can do that later on that’s

Not important wait if i go to my stats how many sand blocks of my mind oh my gosh it’s 27 000. i’ve mined more sand than stone or grass i’m a psychopath all right back to work so our next big step on the island is to

Make it look a lot more lush and natural so we’re gonna take out some moss and some bone meal and we’re gonna massify the top bam bam oh yeah that’s gonna be glorious all right let’s get to it the reason i’m using moss is because i want

To make a custom jungle in the middle of this custom island and the moss fits in perfectly uh oh i am out of bone meal well that is what i was afraid of because i don’t have much at home so ladies gentlemen it is finally time we

Make a bone meal farm i cannot get used to the steve face at all but yeah bone meal farm i’ve been lacking bones for a long time in this world and i’ve always just kind of put it off but i think today we need to do something and i have

A beautiful idea involving the lighthouse aka my iron farm which resides up there i recently found out you can make a little redstone contraption to turn all these poppy flowers in to bone meal so you know what that sounds like something i need to do right now so i’m gonna need some

Redstone stuff now guys as you might know i’m funny i’m a good builder i’m incredibly handsome well that’s debatable but i am not a redstoner i can’t make redstone stuff i’m not good at that so don’t make fun of me if i mess up i’m gonna try my best but it

Might not be pretty so beware where do i even begin here i guess we’ll start by removing the chests up here and putting a little hopper line going this direction now i have to somehow make an item filter out of this which i think i

Can do i’ll save you some time i figured it out but it took many attempts okay i think we’re making good progress now now all i gotta do is fill up these hoppers to sort the items going the right way and let’s give it a test let’s see

Roses iron let’s go i am literally mumbo jumbo the best redstoner of all time and all right we are looking good i’m not gonna lie i’m a little bit triggered that this thing is not even with the door frame it’s really bugging me but that’s another day but the point is it

Works functionally we got iron over here we got roses up there but now we’re going to turn this rose side into a bone meal farm so i’m going to need a composter so if i smack this composter right there it’s going to convert all these roses in to bone meal and i go

Hopper down there to collect it and check it out free bone mail coming slowly but surely ladies gentlemen i am a redstone master but anyways we now have bone meals let’s get back to work on the island so i completed the moss then added some dirt variants for extra

Detail all right looking good looking lush looks nice and jungly but now we gotta start actually making that jungle so why don’t we go make a big jungle tree and i don’t mean bone mealing some saplings i mean building a custom tree i kind of have this vision where in the

Middle of the island we’re gonna have like a big thick tall jungle tree and if you ask me that sounds pretty darn cool so let’s go find a jungle and get some materials hey spawn village how you doing i am pretty sure there’s a jungle

Up in this direction aha i am a genius just the place i was looking for alright we gotta get a bunch of jungle leaves and jungle wood but the question is do i have a silk touch oh i do let’s go And we’re back if you want to see how much chopping of leaves i did look at my hoe that was basically full durability earlier today but that being said ladies and gentlemen we got the goods so let’s go make ourselves a custom jungle tree brb so i got to work building up this

Mega jungle tree which was designed by a creator named springstoff things were looking great until of course i stubbed my toe i just stubbed my toes so hard putting my pain aside we were back on track until the creepers appeared i’m so mad i’m so mad i’m so mad stupid creepers

Man toe pain and creepers aside we should be back on track right not again i just patched it up i just patched it up i hate creepers so much man all right are we safe are we good any more creepers around here i think we’re okay but anyways here is the tree

It looks amazing it looks beautiful i’m really excited about it you probably can’t tell because i’m still mad about the creepers but oh my gosh this thing came out really good so obviously our main tree looks amazing but now i want to add some smaller trees around the

Main tree to kind of have that jungly feel where there’s a ton of like leaves over our heads so that being said we’re gonna make a few smaller jungle trees and my personal favorite some palm trees i think the palm tree should be like on

The edge of the sand so like you know on these kind of blocks and the smaller jungle trees could be closer to the big tree maybe like in this area i like it let’s do it so first up i made the small jungle tree okay it looks good but i

Feel like it’s missing something maybe some more like hanging bits like that yeah that looks a lot better now all right sweet jungle tree looks good now let’s try the much easier palm tree why are my leaves decaying they’re disappearing what the heck what am i doing wrong here these aren’t decaying

I’m gonna try a different kind of leaf maybe like some oak leaves would be better for some reason i don’t understand i don’t see any of the oak leaves breaking so that is weird i just have to mix the leaves i guess i don’t know but i also don’t care it works so

Cool palm tree but anyways i’m sure you guys understand the idea here i’m gonna make some trees like that and trees like that and sprinkle them around the whole island so i’m gonna go do that i then spent about two hours making these trees and the results are epic what the um

Okay i have chopped so many leaves i literally need to put mending and unbreaking on my hoe that is sad and what do we think i personally think it looks amazing but maybe i’m totally wrong and it looks awful i don’t know but i like it this place just has

Amazing atmosphere now like if we look up there’s tons of leaves tons of nature it just looks busy and i love that now there are some spots kind of like over here where you could say oh i should have put a tree here but i didn’t want

To go too overboard and that’s because i have so many more ideas to put here on the ground like you guys have no idea it’s gonna look even better but before i do any of that we gotta take care of something really important last episode

I said if the video got 2300 likes i would make a tnt cannon and shoot myself out of it and you guys did it this could be very dangerous but also very fun so i haven’t made one of these in a few years but i think i need redstone i really

Hope i don’t mess this up that would really be a disaster so i go like this fence water tnt around this redstone around that and a button right there i think that’s all it takes let’s make sure my armor is on and let’s hop in this thing

All right guys thank you so much for the likes i appreciate it let’s go all right all right all right all all right oh it actually works i thought i would land it i didn’t but that makes me wonder what if i used double the tnt absolutely glorious and

To add some high stakes why don’t we just get rid of the totem okay i gotta land this back into the hole this could be very dangerous now all right let’s do this hit the button hop in all right let’s go come on we got

This we got we got oh my gosh oh that’s so high that’s way harder than i thought uh oh okay okay okay i’m good i’m good i’m okay i’m okay i’m okay i’m okay i’m okay i’m okay i’m okay i’m so good at this game well that was scary wasn’t it

But that being said if this video gets 2400 likes i will build a monument to broderick and if you’re new here broderick is my pet chicken scientist who lives right there frederick where are you going broadway i’m gonna build you a statue come back broderick says

Like the video get your stinky butt back in here alright let’s get back on track here and get back to working on the island now as i said i have many cool ideas to put on the ground over there but i gotta get some materials first so

Let’s hit the mine i need some deep slate and my idea is to make some boulders so maybe like over here i can just do a little bit of this throw some stairs and slabs in and something kind of like that it’s not perfect but you

Know what it’s a good step literally but i’ll smack a few of those around the area Looking good looking good the only thing i hate is that they don’t have deep slate buttons i’d love to put like some pebbles around the place but you know what whatever but that being said next up we gotta go get ourselves some podzol because i want to make some muddy piles

Of quicksand so i’m also gonna need some soul sand and some coarse dirt and very simply we’re just gonna go find a nice little patch of land maybe like right here for example and just cover it in these random brown blocks so i’ll smack a few of these around the place all

Right epic but now here comes my favorite part of the entire build and that is gathering up placeable blocks to put on the ground so things like wild flowers and mushrooms and love lichen and ironically i was gonna get lichen so i could light up the area that was a

Sign third time’s a charm all right fixed now i’m pretty sure i don’t have a lot of these nature blocks that i want to use already like i have some but not too many so you know what that means it is adventure time time to clear out the

Shulker boxes and get to traveling but first i probably gotta go to the enderman farm again and heal up these tools because they’re gonna break i’ve mined a lot of blocks today so i flew out to the stronghold to get some xp and after that we were on our way to our

First destination all right azalea tree which means lush cave is down below come on lush cave where are you oh there you are all right perfect so the plan is very simple i’m going to grab as many of these blocks as i possibly can and i

Just want to load up the island with tons of nature i definitely want some drip leaf i absolutely need glowberries and how could i live without the beautiful spore blossom oh and of course the most important thing here the lichen for extra lighting no more creepers on

My island well that was a very quick pit stop but i think we’re all set but don’t you worry we got many more places to go as i’ve already said i want to get every kind of nature block i possibly can that includes dead bushes that include stuff

In the jungle stuff in the flower forest i want to get everything so that being said let’s hit the jungle i want cocoa beans i want ferns and some bamboo i think you guys get the idea now charlton wait no you’re an imposter after finishing up with the jungle i flew over

To a flower forest and picked a bunch of flowers i then hopped in my portal to go get some nether nature blocks ooh soul speed don’t mind if i do thank you piglet i appreciate that boom and boop too expensive what are you talking about i’m rich nothing’s too expensive for me

And then out of nowhere my lights broke uh-oh i think my light finally died oh ladies gentlemen can i get an f in chat the blue light has died now all we have is red not gonna lie this looks weird to me but anyways back to minecraft i have

A disgusting amount of nature stuff i have so many different kinds of blocks so let’s put them all to use and get back to our island so i got to work and oh my gosh this was one of the most creative builds i’ve ever done i literally had to recreate nature from

Scratch there was nothing here to inspire me i had to make this all myself and i loved it it was so much fun everybody welcome to my jungle island paradise look at this place i don’t even gotta say what’s different here there’s just so many different colors and plants

And textures it just looks so lively i literally think i used every kind of nature block in the game not even kidding like i can’t think of one that i missed i also added tons of hidden lighting and some more little details along the sides like lichen and some

Moss carpet and all that fun stuff and it just looks so good and also the best part is up here on top of the tree i added in more hidden lighting so no more sky creepers which is awesome now funny enough there were some things i wanted

To add but i ended up scrapping it because it didn’t really fit with the theme i wanted to add some man-made stuff like maybe some ruined like old houses or like a crashed ship or something like that but the more i thought about the more i realized that

This place looks like deserted and unexplored and i kind of like that so no things of man-made variety going on here oh my gosh that looks so cool i love the colors just pop out that’s so awesome well there we have it the island is 100

Complete and 100 mob proof how does this keep happening why are there endermen in my boat shop i don’t get it just so you know those are rentals you better not break them so now begs the question what do we do with that island there do i

Just get rid of that do i make another little island on there do i put a build there i don’t know if you got any good ideas for it let me know in the comments but guys i’m gonna end it here i hope my next video my lights are all fixed but

Until then make sure to like subscribe do all the good stuff i’ll talk to you guys next time so until then goodbye
