Launching My New Minecraft Server! Minecraft Survival Episode #1

Hey what’s up i’m switchback i’m excited this week is the beginning of the second season of the switchback community minecraft server and you can be a part of it seriously just join us on discord check out the information channel on how to get started my wonderful mods and i have been working

The last few weeks to get this thing up and running and i’m excited to say it will be open on friday at 8 00 pm eastern right when i start my stream on twitch it’s gonna be a ton of fun i’m gonna be so excited for you all to see

It there’s endless adventure just waiting to begin here and you know what i wanted to hop on here just a bit early to get mine started today i’m gonna be playing survival on here just like all of you and for this first session i’m just trying to explore around find a

Place to build my first mini base and at least get full iron armor because even though it’s not hardcore i still don’t want to die so let’s do this i’m so excited i don’t even want to do an intro let’s go really quick before i get started though i wanted to give a

Rundown of what’s actually at spawn because it’s changed a lot since the day that i recorded on here my super awesome mods have put in a ton of work around here to make this place look amazing i feel like i built like five percent of what’s here and then they just did the

Rest of the 95. it’s crazy also i’m on my alt account which still has my old skin so if you see this guy you know who it is but anyway right here is where you’re gonna spawn in from here you can pretty much go any direction that you

Want and if you’re really crazy you can access the nether right away i wouldn’t recommend it though so spawn is on an island and the quickest way to mainland is through this town and over this bridge that’ll take you to a mainland just across the river that we have here

You can also head east to the docks which we had more boats i don’t know what happened to the boats there will be more boats on here for you to take head out into the ocean find any land that you want i know we have some dark oak

Over there pretty sure there’s some jungle out there over here i haven’t really been north yet looks like there’s some planes over there though but who says that you need to leave spawn right away the mods have been putting together some really cool things here i was playing on this little parkour course

They made the other day and it took me a whole hour just to complete it one time why can’t i make that jump that jump’s supposed to be the easy one there it is okay don’t mess this one up i didn’t even jump i give up let me know if you complete

That that thing’s hard yeah this pond looks sick i like that this area is dedicated among sb season one gang look at that speaking of season one if you played on season one and you request a season one roll from one of our mods you’ll be given access to the season one

Portal where if you run right through this it’ll actually teleport you right back to the season one world you can revisit any old memories that you have there and then come make new ones on here it’s pretty cool i’m very excited to have that up and running another

Thing you’ll see a lot of around server are these ducks i don’t know where they’re coming from i think mangoes is building them you’ll have to ask her and dead sea about those but they’re cool i guess also trap’s been working on some scavenger hunt ideas i’m going to leave

Those for you to explore i don’t want to give away any details about them i think that’s kind of the whole point the whole fun of it finding these things on your own and i totally skipped talking about how fun it is to just explore all these

Builds i think that just about covers everything so with that let’s go ahead and get into my first session i have 68 levels what how you know what i don’t have 68 levels anymore now i have seven okay whatever where do i want to go i

Did scout this seat out about a month ago and i think there’s some awesome dark oak forest over there that i really want to live in i’m pretty sure there were some lush caves there too but we do have this village right next to spawn i

Feel like it’s wrong of me to take everything from here before the server actually starts and then leave nothing for anybody else so i should probably go ahead and leave this alone there’s a book in there though you know what i’m taking the book sorry guys i’m

Going to start in the yolk and birch forest i think that’s the safest way to go this is my first world that i’m actually starting from 1.18 and look at this it’s amazing just this big lake big open lake i love it basic basic got the wood ready to go

Might as well get some stone tools because who skips those if you’re skipping stone tools you’re just cracked with the game if you get enough for axe hoe shovel pickaxe and a furnace i don’t know how much that is so i’m gonna get 16. there you go that’s like

Everything that i could want next step food i need to find food food and iron really oh there’s food there’s some food yeah i need i need wool too i need to be able to sleep i’m gonna look to see if i can find iron in this cave don’t see any

Here either but i’m gonna take this coal iron down here maybe iron down here maybe oh this gets pretty spooky oh my gosh how did that creeper see me all the way down there there’s no way i don’t want to go in here no thank you i’m good

It’s already nighttime uh oh and i only have one piece of wool oh uh we’re in trouble food priority food now okay maybe i should get enough stone to make a smoker too oh my gosh i got the stone though how did i let the whole day pass

Great nice jump wait i heard a sheep didn’t even register aha hey can i safely sleep oh a pillager outpost perfect okay i’m safe i can totally sleep here this is fine is that zombie gonna mess my sleep up though nope it’s an amazing pillager outpost

Look at that that’s like better than any of my bills right there how’d they do that okay it’s time that i find my dark oak forest that’s back this direction let’s get a couple more pieces of wood though that’s always good oh here’s skeletons though and more than

One spawner maybe it would be amazing to find a skeleton spawner this early whoa okay i’m coming back after i have protection oh my nope that’s where they were okay nope it’s not a spawner they’re just they’re in there terrified shot twice yeah this is the dark oak forest this

Place looks amazing the reason i really wanted to live here is that right there there is lush caves spread all throughout this dark oak forest that is exposed to the surface which is really cool the hardest part about complementary shaders is that i can’t tell what’s water and what isn’t that

All looks like water down there and it is yeah this isn’t it this isn’t the cool lush cave but there is some lush cave i want that iron i can get it too i can totally get it only one piece that was lame hey axolotl

I want him actually i want her it’s a hurt oh shoot i left my crafting table up there i can see it i can see it from my bubble hang on i’m gonna pick you up where’d you go oh here you are hey welcome to the family

There we go fully ironed up that’s that’s great that’s exactly what i need i feel i feel a bit safe all right this is what i’m gonna do i’m gonna throw my i’m throwing my wooden pickaxe if anyone somehow manages to find that i’ll be truly amazed but i think i’ll be

Here long enough for it to despawn what are my chords here let’s share the chords 278 951 away we go this is kind of cute i wouldn’t mind living here there’s another axolotl this is kind of cool what the what the heck okay it’s not cute i’m not

Living there not happening oh what is this please just have lush cave down there oh that just make my day that’s it this is this is it yo hold on this looks like the spot oh there’s so many mobs oh this is the spot

This is the one look at this place oh my g there’s so many mobs though this is why i didn’t do this in hardcore no shot i am conquering this for the smp though okay more torches are ready creeper just fell behind me no thanks oh

This is a problem area this is a mega problem area okay slowly but surely we’re making a dent in the place this is starting to look safe i need to get this lower level now though and i’m i need more any more coal for that

Oh no it does not look very safe down there also not a whole lot of escaping to be done What the where did you come from i didn’t realize it’s connected to the floor oh i was just standing here there’s nowhere i can really go safely from here i need to find a place to jump into some water look at all those creepers oh and a witch down there i’m gonna try

Despawning everything oh i’m so dumb i’m actually dumb how are we looking down here now not great but better let’s risk it for the biscuit oh my i regret it instantly i regret it instantly oh dude it’s the problem that you can’t even like see the mobs snack time

Always got time for snack hey hey which no thank you no thank you i feel like these mobs oh my gosh should they all get speed are you serious i think they all got speed that’s unbelievable oh it’s slowness you got you through slowness they all have slowness i just

Need to get torches right there and then i think i’m good but there are two zombies two creepers and a witch down there sounds like a song really how did you get that shot okay i am amazed that this witch is still accurate on me going for it i don’t care frick

Heck yeah heck yeah and i made it out oh thank god we got the witch man that witch was unbelievable oh dang it dang it dang it dang it that was not what i wanted where’d the second one go what’s up bozo i think that’s it i think we’re clear

This looks pretty safe it felt amazing to have this cave conquered but i had to venture out to get some building materials and on my way to find an oak forest i found something a little strange what is that oh what’s that boy doing man i can’t wait

To figure out all these puzzles that traps made but i’m gonna wait and let you solve them all first anyway after that i got my oak got my birch and my dark oak and that’s all i needed for my first base i was gonna build something

Really small in this cave just a little shack for two reasons the first is that i want to leave plenty of room for anyone else who finds this place to live in because who wouldn’t want to build something here right this cave is amazing exposed to the sky and just so

Alive i’ve never seen anything like it the second reason though is that i’m actually gonna play on here with no permanent bass like i am the wandering traitor after all i plan to build a series of small respawn points with all my basic necessities all across the

Server so that i can easily travel around and see what you all get up to on here plus i think it’s just a really fun way to approach the game especially with all the new 1.18 generation i think it’s gonna be a lot of fun so i built up my

Simple shack placed a bed a couple of tools and did some decorating and by the end i’m really liking how it looks in the lush cave wait a second wait the server isn’t even live yet and i have a duck in my cave now which means that one

Of the mods came and planted this here i haven’t even lived here for two days yet what is this what is that is that a fish that’s a tropical fish isn’t it but hey let me give you the tour this is the pad this is where it’s

Where it all gonna begin and it’s honestly super cozy i love how it turned out i feel like the best thing to do for starter bases is to use barrels for storage instead of chests because they do the same thing but they look great but i just got the little bed and shelf

Set up all of my basic tools that i need and then i also got a pond for fishing but i don’t think i have a fishing rod yet oh i do have a fishing rod check that out this is just like such a chill place to sit and fish but man i

Forgot how slow fishing is in the early game there was a time in this game not that long ago where i thought this was the most fun thing to do i would just sit and fish all day every day how did that grow so fast but that is not the

Case anymore also what happened there give me give me my salmon look at that cute little axolotl there what are you looking at man i’m so happy to be starting my game in here and if you like the way it looks too come join me i’ll probably be here for a few weeks

Before i move on to my second base and you know if you want to build somewhere else go for it because chances are i’ll probably move in right next door eventually i’m trying to get everywhere on this server oh there’s a trident down there i feel like i should go for that i

Feel like it would be wrong of me to not try to get that i’m about to try to do it going for it oh here it goes oh i don’t have depth strider or respiration oh i’m gonna die oh no don’t kill me oh no oh my god there’s so many drowned

Another one with the trident right there my armor is not equipped for drowns okay what a scary way to end this episode oh there’s a creeper right there too get me out i hope you all enjoyed this short little episode i’m looking forward to playing on here and just seeing what you

All build again join the discord get all the information you need there and i’ll be back with another episode soon for now though thanks for watching and i’ll see you You
