I tried Minecraft Skyblock for the first time (Mistakes were made) 01

For the past year I’ve been building out a kingdom in an endless sprawling Minecraft world so after completing that I thought what if we tried Minecraft but without those endless lands and resources so for this video I’m giving Skyblock a go for the first time we’re stuck on the sky platform with nothing

Around us except a tree some dirt and a chest I have no idea what I’m doing so let’s see how far we’ll get Okay so here we are on this tiny Island and the extent of my Skyblock knowledge is basically from watching a Gemini Te video a while ago and we didn’t get any seeds Okay that’s a really bad start let’s see what’s in the chest oh obsidian okay and lava and ice I’m gonna

Guess that’s for a cobble generator first of all let’s see if we can get a set plane what we might need to do is use some of this dirt to extend the island to make sure we don’t lose any set planks we don’t want them falling into the void or

Place a piece of dirt here and we’ll see if we can get this yes okay first word first crafting table I really hope oh yours are sampling I got it okay that makes this a lot less stressful let’s break the rest of this four set planks okay so we will put one

Back and then let’s try and sort out this cobble generator this is kind of embarrassing but I’m not actually sure how to make them hopefully we can use our brain to figure it out the involve lava and I just placed it what everywhere this is gonna be such a waste of wood

It’s okay though we learn we live and learn oh it’s raining okay we go like this and then hold on is this right I’m scared I’m gonna mess this up is that like this yes we did it and then we combine this wait and that leaves us without a lava sauce

Let’s just try this again Show out just happened we messed up the cobble generator and couldn’t really continue without it so a restart was in order luckily we’d only played a couple of minutes so we’re easily caught back up this time we actually got a seed or we should probably plant it

So we will make a hoe and it would make sense to put it near the water so we’ll pop it here we also have two saplings planted and an actual working cobble generator it didn’t break it this time except now we’re at that point where there’s not a

Lot to do except mine Cobble and wait for saplings to grow so that is what we’re gonna do and we’ll start making supplies out of these our first furnace and maybe a couple of slabs we can extend this this is gonna look really ugly for now

And so our first night was spent mining away at the generator the next day our first tree had grown so I chopped it down and then I decided to get under the platform there’s three layers of dirt and dirt’s a precious resource so I decided to take down the

Bottom layer I also made a platform of Cobble slabs just in case we want something down there in future okay this is how things are looking I think we’ve had a couple of nights here now so we’ll be in danger of phantom soon but the platform’s a little more

Consistent I built it out with Cobble slabs and I got rid of the wood we still have these random patches of grass but I want to make sure that we don’t get rid of all the grass oh another tree I feel like things are starting to ramp

Up and so we’ll be ready to bridge over to an island although not that one I think we’ll go oh Spruce yes I think we’ll go over there we’ll just need a little bit more Cobble first oh an apple that’d be good if we get really hungry because our one seeder is

Growing very slowly I’m gonna pop that away for now oh also I managed to burn a wood log so now we have torches so I’m going to cover this up okay I’ve got a lot of couple slaves I think we might be ready to bridge here I

Want to make it on a half slave level I guess we’ll have to go like this and that way we won’t get And this is why we don’t play hardcore luckily I think I left everything essential here we are out of sticks to make a pickaxe so can we do this with our hand oh this is so painful and it drops nothing hey a tree crew okay that’s perfect timing so we’ll be able

To make sticks to make a new pickaxe and then we get more Cobble again and then we bridge over again this is very embarrassing The spitter give us saplings also there’s a geode down there we will have to come back for that sometime in the meantime I expanded the platform grabbed the pumpkin grabbed the berries and grabbed the tree we only got one set playing but that’ll do for now I think

That mission went better because I didn’t try to talk while bridging so that is my lesson for future I’m scared of phantoms now and we need a place for the spruce set playing maybe over here we’ll just extend this a little more there we go now for the rest of the

Night I’m pretty sure Phantoms can’t spawn when you have a block over your head so I’m just gonna stay here okay it is the next day and I’ve just been increasing our platform size and also trying to chop this tree down I don’t think I got everything from it

It’s one of the really big ones oh another Apple this is perfect because we’re starting to have a little bit of a hunger problem we can do something about that though we have glowberries and irregular berries that we need to grow we will just finish getting this tree so

We’ll create a little section here to replant our Oaks and then opposite that we’ll use our first Spruce planks and take our glow Berry and grow it on a little structure and this should make a glow Berry Farm then we have our sugar cane to plant and

Our berries with our berries they can just go here okay this is looking way better I think our next task oh I’m getting stuck in the berries okay our next task is to fix this and then once we have enough Cobble we’ll finish the platform and then maybe we’ll make a mob

Farm but as usual it’s another night of grinding we’ve got our first spruce tree growing on the island and we’ve got three saplings for it I’m hoping we can get a fourth and then we can start growing the big spruce trees come on Minecraft guards just one more oh there’s two

There’s two down there perfect we’re now no longer in danger of not having spruce beautiful so while I should be making a mob farm I’ve decided I actually want to make the edges of this a little bit cuter and a bit safer because I do feel like I’m

Gonna fall off all the time maybe we’ll leave this area open for our future mob farm we’ll have a platform going over here we are also absolutely at the point where the trees are taking up far too much room here but we’re not dealing with that right now

And that night while I was working on the fence we had our first Phantom oh gosh hello at least you’re just one oh I don’t even ever saw it I haven’t needed one come on fight me okay I’m staying under my little block but we did get a membrane we really need

A bed and the first step for that is making a mob thumb to get some string to make wool and as the sun’s coming up hopefully we’re good now to finish our fence and make a mob farm We will make a platform out here for it and at this stage we have enough wood that I’m gonna stop building out of ugly couple and build out of wood And just before nightfall we have a platform oh it’s missing a fence hold on okay crisis averted I was thinking about it we could make a kind of bad mob fun without water flowing but we get any water if we want to make a proper one so

For tonight I’m just gonna leave this platform like this and we’ll see if anything happens to spawn that’ll be our kind of bad temporary mob farm but then we could also travel to another Island maybe the mangrove sample have water and then it will be able to use it oh gosh

Phantoms okay that scared me but what I was trying to say is we’ll be able to make a water source oh hello you are ominous and I don’t like it oh you can get over the gate no okay that wasn’t good and now we have a skeleton help oh leave me alone no

He gave us bones that’s actually pretty good we just need to actually mob proof this and we’ve got another guy hello well this is our good life for the night and now it’s time to bridge over to the mangrove swamp in the hopes of finding water I really hope we don’t fall this

Is such a pinky workout for me it requires my entire brain cell just to keep pressing shift how far have we got oh it’s so close and that’s so far we got this oh we’re so close I can see water that is what we need Oh they have fines we have nowhere to get them though we’re gonna have to leave the tree here so the vines can keep growing lily pad okay so we will leave the tree and just get a proper Gill and silly me I did not bring my water bucket we’ll go get it

And come right back also I’m excited to plant this I don’t know what it actually needs to grow hopefully this works before going back I stay Pub for the night because we don’t want to get knocked off the bridge by Phantoms and this was the night we got

Our first string off a spider which is good news one day we’ll be able to have a bed then I grabbed my bucket returned to the mangrove Island got water brought it back and made a little area for an infinite water source currently it’s raining and we have all

Of these mobs spawned from overnight there’s also oh ouch there’s a spider over here which is the priority oh my gosh is that a zombie villager oh my gosh there’s a lot happening um I don’t think I can get him there’s too many things there yeah this is way

Too much maybe if some of the creepers could despawn that would be good I think for now we are going to ignore that and clean up this tree our first Mangrove tree that grew and it’s an absolute Beast wait is it oh it gives us Moss carpet

I then started picking away at the creepers and then the zombies in the hopes of getting the zombie villager these guys are important because I’m pretty sure they’ll be our only way to get villagers in this world and with that opens up a whole world of villager

Trading okay our health is doing very badly oh ouch we’re on my heart this is not good I have no food though and we need to do this quickly before the sun we got him okay we gotta do this quickly before it stops raining he needs a little shelter our first

Villager though this is so cool okay let’s eat before we die next I started building the mob farm beginning with a platform of death and then the trip for them to fall down We’re going with a three by three which is a weird size for a mob thumb but I wanted it to be centered on the platform I also realized I don’t need Corner blocks this process is a little Annoying due to being interrupted by night and the Phantoms and not having a good way

Up and down then I built a platform for mobs to spawn on and they made an infinite water source so I could use water to funnel the mobs down into the tube and lastly of course we put the lid on it to make it dark Farm is working so well we have a

Wondering Trader wait that just spawned and do we have a lead wonderful who’s here are the Llama oh he’s in the boat with my zombie that’s weird what if we put the other one in a boat too hello why aren’t you okay the other one’s not

Getting in this guy is going to be really useful once we actually have emeralds oh he sells beetroot seeds and flowers but for now we don’t have emeralds well that was a nice surprise and our mob farm is overflowing with creepers look how well this works so I’m guessing it’s because there’s nowhere

Else in the world for mobs to spawn wait did I get it oh my gosh we got a carrot this is like life-changing we’ve been really struggling with food lately I’ve been hungry like all the time hopefully the carrot will be a bit of food source than what we have and we’re

At eight string I think we’re nearly at making a bed one two we just need four more pieces and then we can have a bit we got it five string Andrew got our first piece of armor so fashion okay this is a momentous occasion our very first Skyblock bed

I don’t think I’ve ever been happier to see just a plain white bed but this marks the end of the Phantoms next I want to kind of clean up and beautify this island a little bit there’s a few things that could be looking a little

Bit better and this is one of them we’re gonna switch out the Cobble oh we got some more armor booties I think for the glowberries we will make fences and we’ll do this should we have another row and then it will be able to grow a few

More because this process is very slow we could also try to beautify this a little more I was thinking it could look like a well so we’ll make a little Row for it wait actually we can make some stone walls by cooking a little bit of this and we’ll do stone walls then

Fences on top and then the roof and while we’re waiting for the stone to cook we can oh my gosh this is loud maybe they’ll give us something cool again nothing cool yet but we’ll keep trying it’d be nice to get iron off a zombie then we actually did get our first piece

Of iron from the mod Farm we could make a shield with the iron but I don’t think we need it at the moment so we’re gonna save it but this is looking much better or we can take down this note but the well is looking much cuter we could maybe do something here

But I want to move these trees soon I think our next platform might be for trees if we move the trees then we’ll have more storage for us here because it’s getting kind of full and I also want to move this guy to a proper home mostly

Just because he’s really annoying wait a minute the trade alarms are gone I thought they would stay because they’re in boats I guess not also look how silly we look I cannot wait to have a normal outfit but this is the best we’ve got for now but I

Think for our first Skyblock Islander in video this is pretty good this was actually going to be a one-off video but I think I’m enjoying myself too much so if you want some sequel videos let me know I think we’re gonna keep going but thank you for watching and I’ll see you

In the next video bye
