Minecraft: Secrets of the Sands – Episode 2

After falling into a pit and waking up and finding a strange portal I jump in and find myself stranded in this dry dangerous desert this is Minecraft secrets of the sands it is the beginning of episode 2 and I find myself in a new biome hopefully this biome has something new that can

Help out with my food situation otherwise I may be done for there was a different type of structure up ahead so I went over to check it out I climbed on up and there was a spawner waiting for me with minions with giant swords what I

Was hoping for is that I could take him down and hopefully get the swords and I was correct after taking him down they dropped two iron greatswords they were a bit slower than my Scimitar but they did 11 attack damage which was insane I started to take out the rest of them

Because I still needed to break the spawner and hopefully they could drop even more boot that I didn’t have I broke the spawner but so far I didn’t get anything else I combined the two great swords I had to make one full durability sword so now it wouldn’t

Break anytime soon I realized after taking down a couple minions I had these dirty coins in my inventory I didn’t know what they did maybe they traded with villagers or something like that I still had a lot to learn and more information to gain but I had a feeling

The dirty coins were beating me to something hopefully maybe I could even trade with these people I tried taking down more of these Bandits to see if they could drop more dirty coins maybe I could make a craft out of them I thought one dropped a coin but I ended

Up picking up a break and shield I put it on and it looked pretty cool it worked just like a regular shield and it didn’t take up my vision like a regular shield does so this was definitely my go-to I had the chance to test out my

Dirty coin Theory and the bandits did not go for them so it turns out you cannot trade with these people I decided to go ahead and make myself a weather cap I was really lacking on the armored department so this was pretty much the least I could do I considered

Going down into that cave but I decided to keep exploring more I found another ruin sight and I got a date this made me realize that dates were probably the primary food source that you could grow in this Dimension after exploring a bit more I found a blaze type creature I

Took it down but it didn’t drop anything but I was starting to find more and more weirder creatures I was desperate on food so I decided to eat the date and I got an achievement for it the date replenished a pretty good amount of hunger bars so I was gonna need to find

A way to plant them after finding this little Outpost I climbed down the ladder and I found two crates at the bottom I opened one of them and I got this dirty necklace I didn’t know what it did but I decided to hold on to it and in this

Other chest I got an iron desert helmet with mending on it this did give me hope that some of the crates in the desert had good loot in them I swapped out my leather cap for the iron desert helmet and made myself some mummy boots which

Only did plus one armor but hey it’s something I was only running off of a few pieces of rotten flesh and it seemed like the enemies were multiplying I really needed food badly and that’s when I Came Upon a structure that I have never seen before this was a giant

Pyramid there was an enemy standing in my way so I decided to take him down with my Greatsword fairly easily but then I noticed after taking him down I had an effect on me called marked my theory was that the marked effect made all the enemies find me I got an

Achievement for visiting the pyramid and I tried breaking in but I couldn’t break any of the blocks there must have been some sort of formal entrance that I had to go through in order to take down the pyramid so breaking in wasn’t gonna help and that’s when I found a new enemy who

Apparently saw me from very far away I went down to check it out I knew something was suspicious about this character and I was right this character could jump and climb up walls and poison me with his sword I almost died I was left at 3 cars with only one piece of

Rotten flesh to go with this character beating me in almost one hit and the amount of mobs I heard inside the pyramid I decided I was not gonna take it down I would definitely die if I tried so I decided to get out of there and search for more food more food and

Better armor is what I needed right now after searching for a bit I caught a slight break and I got another date and a few more pieces of rotten flesh and I found a camel and I decided to take it down because I really needed food desperate times call for desperate

Measures I’m sorry camel as of now if I smelted the camel I’m sure this was my only real source of food I had I made a limestone furnace and I started to smelt up the camel thank you I found a giant Ravine after exploring a bit and I definitely saw some different

Vlogs way down there which gave me the idea to go mining because if there was anything else I was gonna get it was probably gonna be from caves I found a new type of ore in a different cave and I got iron ore and I found this other

Black orb but it didn’t do anything I went deeper into the caves and started finding a lot of limestone iron ore my goal for this mining trip was to at least get an iron chest plate and iron leggings I was really only lacking the armor I had a good enough sword

Hopefully this armor would be enough so I could go back to the pyramid and potentially take it down and find whatever loot was in there I climbed down into the caves and I used up the three Royal torches I had I didn’t have a way of making any more until I got

Cold and I made Deadwood torches I didn’t really know the difference between Deadwood torches and Royal torches but I’m pretty confident that they all did the same thing while I was mining I heard some suspicious noises from deep in the caves I was getting a little worried so I just wanted to get

The iron and get out of there I collected all my smelted iron and decided to upgrade my pickaxe first I made an iron pickaxe and got the achievement for it I took a little time to play around with crafting recipes and no I could not make a dirty coin sword I really couldn’t

Figure out any other crafting recipes I gave up on trying to figure out new recipes and I made my iron chest plate while I waited for the rest of my iron to smell I realized I was hungry and I went and ate the cooked camel and this

Replenished quite a bit of hunger so it looks like camel was my main source of food right now I looked outside and it was very dark out so I’m glad I was down in the caves instead of on the surface after enough iron was melted I crafted

My iron leggings so now I had a full set of armor hopefully this will be enough to protect myself against whatever dangers I come across after every piece of iron was done smelting I put in the date into the furnace and nothing happened so you cannot smelt dates but I

Kind of expected that to happen I broke all my stuff and I decided to climb out of the caves once again I needed food very badly and I was gonna find it in episode three
