My First Time Playing Minecraft Skyblock

– Today I will be playing the iconic Minecraft map Skyblock for the very first time. I am joined by my good friend, PokeMEN7, who has played more Minecraft than me, but has also never played Skyblock before. Please don’t hit me off John you’re, making me antsy. That was a completely reasonable reaction. Anyways, make sure to subscribe both to MandJTV Plays and PokeMEN7 Plays, John’s channel is linked in the description below. And let’s figure this out. – [John] Wait, what happens if you fall off the edge? – You lose everything in your inventory. Where’d you go? Did you just?

Did you just? (laughs) What the heck, man? – [John] Hey, I’m back. – You are back, but it’s, so one of the like rules it says, like obviously it’s not an enforced rule in the game play. But one of the rules is don’t fall off the edge to restore health.

Stop doing, what the heck? – Chest. You are the recording man. You open the chest. – Okay, so this version of Skyblock, I think it’s 4.09. It’s like the supposedly the newest one that I found updated from 1.17 also side note, this is our first time playing 1.17.

Ice block, lava bucket, one piece of sugarcane, one sea pickle. – [John] Wow. – 10 pieces of obsidian and then the flowers I just put in there. – [John] I have an idea, Mikey. – Yeah. – All right, so there’s, oh God. Okay, it’s toggle. There are three levels of dirt, right?

– Right. – [John] So we can get rid of the top level and then have blocks to put around the tree, so when we like get rid of the tree and get the saplings it’ll be safe. And then we can also just make this bigger so that we have more room to operate.

– Correct. That is what you’re supposed to do. Don’t take out too many. – [John] Oh. – Because we need like four blocks for our cobblestone generator. These three blocks I actually need you to put back. Well actually, at least this middle one right here. Yeah.

– [John] We really need to get these saplings though. So if I don’t get them, you can yell at me. Just please, don’t delete me. – If you don’t get them, we reload the world, John. You have to reset the world. What the heck? (John yelps) Why would you do that? – [John] I was trying to put it in the chest. – Please, dear baby Jesus. Let me remember this correctly. – [John] Oh sapling! Sapling! – Okay, you can plant it immediately. All right. John, stop killing yourself! I didn’t get that cobblestone. It just broke. – [John] Because it, I think it died in the lava. Okay. Let me, stand here. I’ll be the cobble gatherer. Okay, you got it. – I got it somehow.

– [John] Okay, I’m a scuba diver. – You’re not drowning are you? – [John] Well, I mean. – You picked that up, right? – [John] No, God no. – No? – [John] Yeah, no. This is going to be hell. Yeah! We did it! – I don’t see any other islands.

– [John] Don’t worry, I got this. – Are you going to start building a bridge? – [John] That’s it, you’ll see. Yeah, but we haven’t royally mess things up though. – Which is honestly kind of surprising. – [John] Right? Dude and I don’t want to say that my clubhouse is looking sick,

But I will say I’ve wasted all of the materials we’ve gotten to make a clubhouse. So there is obsidian, so we can make a portal. – How we light it? – [John] Uh. – Clearly we just need to get enough stuff to get to another island. – [John] Is there another island?

I assumed there might be. – There’s multiple other islands. Yeah. They’re all small. – [John] Oh, I thought you were worried there wasn’t an island. Oh. – Well I’m worried because I don’t know where it is. – [John] All right Mikey, I have a plan. – Okay. – [John] Hear me out. – Why do you keep doing that? – [John] I wanted to jump to see if I could see an islands. – I don’t think you did. – Mikey, there was no islands. Oh wait, can we do sugarcane like here? And it will grow. – I suppose we can. Are you picking up the cobblestone? I’m trying to get to a full stack. – [John] Sometimes. Move away. I need four more. Six more I mean. – [John] I made you a present. – Let me get my full stack of cobblestone and then we can talk. Finally.

– [John] Eh, he’s the cobble collector. – All right, what’s the present? – [John] Go see for yourself. – A little flower mound. It’s so cute. Thank you John. – [John] Aren’t you so lucky? – Yeah. All right, I’m going to begin the building process. – [John] Sorry. Mikey, I want you to know that I, while I’ve had multiple urges to run over and push you over, I have resisted all of them. – I appreciate that. I found one! – [John] Oh, oh. Yay! – It’s jungle. – [John] Eureka! – It’s jungle.

I won’t be able to make it with this cobblestone. – [John] I have cobblestone. Yay! Oh, but it’s almost scary time. Oh, Mikey. I okay, okay. I got this. I got this. I got this. Okay. Well no, we need to make, fortify our bunker. I need to defend my flower mound.

Okay, this is big. I didn’t realize we were in flower mound Texas, but you know what? Things happen. – Can I? Where’s the sword? Is it in the chest? Yes, it is, okay. – [John] I’m ready to defend my flowers with my life. – Okay, well they’re only going to spawn on the,

Is that what I think it is? That’s a creeper all the way at the end. – [John] Don’t worry, Mikey. I got this. – Are you going to go fight the creeper? All right. – [John] Something like that. – Do you have your sword? – [John] Yep. Something like that. – John!

Why did you do that? Well. Guess we’ll take shifts. – [John] I just thought of something that is so stupid and I’m glad I didn’t suggest it before we did this. Because again, it’s really stupid. But imagine doing Skyblock with just pixelmon spawning (laughs) just knocking you off the edge. – Dude, from a distance,

The flower mound balcony kind of looks like a tree. – [John] I’m tricking our tree into thinking, oh God, I need to grow or I’m getting replaced. Mental warfare. – Oh! A sugar cane growth. – [John] Yes! – Yes! Not a whole lot of sticks left though. I want this tree to grow.

– [John] Yeah, but we have a new tree, so, okay, we’ll go to this island, right? We’ll see the new tree. We’ll meet the new tree. And then we’ll go to Treebeard and let Treebeard know that he’s replaceable. – Treebeard? That rings a bell,

But I’m having trouble remembering who or what that is. – [John] Our tree. I named him Treebeard. – Oh. Nice to meet you, Treebeard. – [Treebeard] Hello. – [John] All right Mikey. It’s time for a feat of excellence. The Olympics are coming up. This is my trial.

– Wait, should I be watching what you’re doing? I cannot see you. – [John] I… nothing. Nothing happen, I just… – Well, would say John, I’m sorry, but you did not qualify for the Olympics. – [John] Come on. Okay, now I got this. Oh, no! I had it! I had it!

– Did you fall again? – [John] No. – I think you fell again, John. – [John] No, I didn’t. You don’t have it yet any proof of that. Okay Mikey, come over here and watch this. You can come with cobblestone. We’re almost to the island,

But you need to watch my feat of excellence. – Okay. I think it’s like Monty Python where there’s that clip of that, oh. (John screaming) – [John] Why? No! No! – John, I think you might’ve died again. – [John] No, I was so close. The tree! The tree grew.

The tree grew. – Oh. – [John] It worked. My plan worked. Treebeard got jealous. If I break leaves- – Oh, there’s water. No! – [John] Yeah. What? – The water. My pride is bruised, yeah. – [John] All right, so we need to make an infinity pool. – This I think is an infinity pool. – [John] Well, we can make another back at home base cause (John startle gasps) it’s getting night time. Get the tree, get the tree, get the tree,

Tree, tree, tree. Oh this is not the bottom of the tree. – Are you going to get the tree? I feel like we should just go, man. – [John] No, I can’t leave this tree. Mikey, I don’t think there is a secret chest. – Rip. – [John] I got a potato.

– You got a potato? – [John] Yeah, I killed a zombie and I got a potato. – What? – [John] Yeah. – Oh my God, hold on to that potato with your life. You need to come back and plant that. – [John] Oh, I will.

Okay, I’ll put a lily pad above me and then hide and they will think I’m a frog. This is foolproof. – [John] Ribbit. – Ribbit? (laughs) – [John] I’m scared though. This potato means so much. – Yeah, there’s also the problem of between us there being, as of right now, two zombies, a creeper, two skeletons, and a spider. – [John] Dude, you’re going to have to be a warrior princess

And go out there and destroy them. – So that you can get back safely with all the stuff? – [John] Well yeah, I have a potato. – Okay, I will try that once the sun is up and it burns up the zombies and the skeletons. – [John] Oh! You need to make sure they get burned up so we can grab the bone meal. Dude, we are on our way to sign city. – Okay.

– [John] You might have to sacrifice your life to the creeper and punch it off the edge. – To come rescue you? – [John] Yeah. – Oh, there’s the witch. – [John] Ribbit, ribbit. Ribbit, ribbit. – Yeah! – [John] I thought it was just going to like sit there forever. I was like, huh, it’s really not moving. – It kept pulling out potions, but it never threw it. – [John] So I put the water there. The water is there. Now I run. I run like the wind, Bulls-eye.

– Don’t run. Walk carefully, John. There’s no running by the pool. – [John] There’s no pool. – Yes there is! – [John] There’s only death. – We just made one! – [John] I ran far from the pool. – That’s true. – [John] I can make a frog sanctuary. Oh, this is great. Okay.

Now we have unlimited water. – Fantastic. – [John] Okay, so I think first thing I should do water off the edge you fall off. Now, TA-DA. – That only really works if you fall off like in a very specific place, doesn’t it? Or can you like- – [John] Oh no.

Look, I made it. – Okay. It works if you fall off relatively near it. Wait, I kind of want to test this. Let me deposit everything. All right, so, I have nothing in my inventory right now. Okay, so if I hop off here. I did not make it to the water. All right, do you want me to head to the island to harvest dirt? – [John] Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Go get the rest of the stuff. That’d be great. – Okay, I’m not going to deal with the water cause we have an infinity pool. Because we want more dirt to plant more trees,

To get more wood, to get more trees. Dun, dun, dun, dun. Dun, dun, dun, dun. I don’t really know how we get rid of the water though. I think it might just be a source block forever. – [John] I mean, you can put a,

You could just put a dirt block over the water and it’ll go away. – Oh, I didn’t bring one with me. Okay well, I’m coming back. Unless there’s one I can get from like another spot. Okay, I got it. So which one of these is the source block?

It’s under the lily pad, right? – [John] Yes. Which I need you to bring back. – Okay. Well that was not enough. No! I lost a dirt block, John. – [John] Oh, well that’s fine. We’ve all lost a dirt block before.

– Yeah, I just don’t know how to get rid of this water. I don’t, there’s like no dirt blocks I can get safely. So I’m coming back. I don’t want to lose your lily pad. I would feel really bad if I lost your lily pad.

– [John] I’m glad you are just not around to see everything that I’m doing. – I’m on my way back right now. Oh, you’re building something down there. – [John] No. – What are you building? Oh, is this the frog sanctuary? – [John] Can I have my lily pad?

– I’m putting it in the chest. – [John] Oh, thank you. You want to come see it? – Sure. Cool kids only. – [John] So I had to use a lot of cobblestone. All right, back to getting stuff. Oh, another tree. Yay! – Yay! – [John] Oh, actually before we get the tree- – No! John! – [John] No! (frantic shouts) Treebeard. Treebeard. – Oh you put it out. How’d you do that? – [John] Okay. I just smacked it with my hand.

– Oh. Okay, good to know that’s a doable thing. Should I use the dirt that we do have to build out around the tree more? Why are you doing that? You can’t plant trees on that. – [John] Well, so I’m making a path around it and then we can build like the dirt.

We can make little five by five things like this. And this way it gives us more spots for when the saplings falls, so they don’t fall to their doom. – Oh, that’s okay. That’s good thinking. I’ll plant the, same spot? Or do we want to like space them out a bit more?

Like one right- – [John] I don’t really, I don’t know how they work, so if you wanted to look it up and see if we have room to plant multiple next to each other, we could do that. I just don’t know how that works. Got a sapling. Sick.

– It doesn’t appear that there’s a limit to how close they can be planted. – [John] Okay. – All right, John is a combating. Oh. Oh, that’s un- oh, and he’s back. There’s a creeper kinda close-ish. – [John] Oh man. – Should I deal with it? – [John] I can deal with it. This time, I won’t jump off the edge like a fool. Oh crap. Okay well, there is a Mikey hole now. – There’s a Micky hole. There are two Mikey holes.

– [John] Yeah, there’s two Mikey holes. – Okay, I’m going to fill in the path for ya. – [John] Well, so the broken path does make it so they can’t actually get to us, which is kind of genius. – Oh, you just have to be good at Minecraft though.

– [John] That is fair, you can fill in the path. Okay, so I killed a spider. We’re starting to actually get stuff from them. I could make a battle arena to get them. Actually, I’ll just, that one platform, I’ll just keep working on making that bigger. That’s just makes sense.

– Well, I mean, I think it may take like too long. It may not be a good idea, but like eventually making the paths out of slabs. – [John] So they can’t spawn. – Yeah, it would be useful. But I think we’re probably still too early game for that.

– [John] Yeah. No, absolutely. – All right, it’s daytime. I want to go like try and get the rest of the dirt off the jungle island. Or it’s actually swamp. – [John] Yeah, I can just try and get as much cobblestone today as possible.

♪ Cause some stuff’s gonna fall no matter what we do ♪ ♪ Because this is Skyblock ♪ ♪ Poo, poo, poo, poo, poo ♪ – [John] Wow. This is why they pay you the big bucks. – It is. – [John] This is why you have three Lamborghini. – Oh yeah. You know me.

Me and my three Lamborghini. Stop the water. The water is gone. I killed the water, John. – [John] It’s very peaceful. – You say that, but I’m like absolutely terrified I’m going to fall off the edge. – [John] Oh, I’m just sitting here gettin’ cobbles.

Yeah but in post, when it’s this thrilling music like Pirates of the Caribbean music. Dun-dun-dada-dun-dun And just you trying not to fall. Everything’s epic. – Oh, I lost a dirt block. (groans) I need to bring some cobble with me I’m realizing. To like build a floor. ♪ Getting cobblestone to build a thing out there. ♪ ♪ Getting cobblestone, getting cobblestone ♪ ♪ Getting, cobblestone, getting cobblestone ♪ – Probably should stop humming this melody I don’t know how much the copyright stuff is going to pick up. I’ve gotten seven pieces of dirt. – [John] Ooh. Okay.

– There’s one, two, three, four, five left but they’re at the same level as the cobblestone. And I don’t like, I’m not guaranteed to get them. You know what I mean? – [John] We can just leave them for when we’re desperate. – Okay. It just occurred to me

That the only blocks that have to be dirt are the ones the trees are in. – [John] Oh, that’s very smart. So we could, okay. – We could replace- Don’t, I mean, don’t break anything yet. Like, cause we should probably build out from the frog sanctuary and like build-

– [John] I told you frog sanctuary was smart. – It was smart. It was weirdly smart. – [John] Oh wait, yeah. My frog sanctuary was genius. I am smarter than everyone. – Okay, let’s not get aggressive. Okay, let me know when I’m safe to start breaking dirt up here. – [John] I think,

Everything is good. – Okay. – [John] Or you’ll fall to your death. One of the two. – I’m never going to dig on a block that I’m not immediately like… John? Well, that was very rude. (John giggles) Where did you even do that from? How did you do that?

– [John] I have my ways. – You got a little taste for a little arboretum going. – [John] A what? A tasteful, little arboretum. – [John] We’re so fancy. – We are fancy. I can try fighting some monsters, for the sake of content. Wow, that’s a lot of them. Oh.

– [John] Is there a lot of bad guys? – There’s a lot of bad guys. All right. I got this. – [John] We’re going to need to make another chest too. Oh my God. I’m coming Mikey! – I died. Hello? Did we get any goodies from any of them? – [John] For Narnia. – Actually, I’m just going to watch this time. – [John] Okay, I got this. – Oh, there’s a sword floating.

Wow. – [John] Hey I got our swords back. – Wow, I can’t believe you did that. – [John] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. – That was amazing. Shall we venture to another island my friend? – [John] Absolutely. – All right. Where’s our cobblestone? – [John] All used, all gone.

– Man, I would’ve been working on that. I thought we still had like a stack or two. Dang it. All right well, time to start digging. – [John] I got bones. – You got bones? Wait, they drop something when they were on fire? – [John] Yeah, they do.

Oh my God, dude. I got a ton of bones. Yes! And a tree grew! Yes! – It grew into me. Wait, we got to get rid of these leaves immediately. – [John] Dude we got bones and we can make like bone meal now. Oh, and an apple!

All right, we got 12 bone meals. Should I try? Oh that’s not the tree. Oh, tree. Yay. – Yay. Oh wow, three cobblestone makes six slabs. – [John] Hm-hmm. – [John] We should have been doing that the whole time. – Yeah. They do have to be bottom half slabs, just so you know. Oh. – [John] Got a nice coffee. I’m ready to go. I’m ready to adventure. I’m ready to be a spelunker.

– I don’t think there’s any caves in this John. – [John] Now I’m making a cave. Now I’m using our resources to make a cave. Look what you’ve done. – Wait, no, don’t do that. Then mobs will spawn in it. – [John] I came with half slabs, okay? They’re just called slabs, John.

– [John] The time to make my cave so I can go spelunking. – Why? I feel like we should be utilizing our cobblestone to try and find another island. – [John] You told me I wouldn’t ever be a spelunker. Where would I like to spelunk? That’s a good question.

I mean, people just don’t ask enough like where doth spelunk. I mean, you know, the frog sanctuary. That’s probably a good place to start. – All right John, I’m going to start building out. Which direction should I go? – [John] I don’t know. – Very well. I will go this way.

Ah ha. There’s the next one. I can see it. I don’t know if I’ll make it there, but I can see it. – [John] Does this makes sense? Then I’ll just do this. – All right well, didn’t, whoa! – [John] What? – John. Dude.

You have to come up out to the end of this. – [John] Whoa, what is that? – That’s an amethyst geode, new from 1.17. – [John] Yo that’s sick. – I know. I’m not entirely sure how get down to it. – [John] It’s my cave! It the cave! Yes! I’ll get my supplies. – How are you going to get down to it? – [John] I just, don’t you worry. – I’m out of slabs. So I need more. – [John] Should I stop working on my other cave? – Potentially. – [John] I guess it like,

It could just turn into a house actually. – Yeah. I’m down to have a house. Okay, are you gonna finish your farm? You don’t have much time. – [John] Well, no. Okay, so I’ll put the wood there. I’m going to go into battle, Mikey, right? I’m going to go into battle.

So right now- – Okay, should I watch or should I be cobblestone farming? I’m just a little worried about something spawning here on our island, you know. – [John] Why would something spawn on our island? – Well, the lava is the only light source we have.

And if neither of us are here, stuff can spawn. You know what? – [John] You could start replacing, like get cobblestone and then start replacing cobblestone with slabs. – Yeah, I think I’m going to do that. But I think I might do that like where the trees are.

– [John] Grab that. I’ll grab the that. I probably need the pickaxe. Hey, there you go. Hey, fake cave. Look, you’re a spelunker too. – I am. – [John] I mean, a fake one. But, you know. All right, come over here and see what I’ve come up with over here.

Also, I’ve been at one heart for some time, just letting you know. – That’s fine. All right, so we’ve got some nice fences and then some openings and then big gaps- – [John] So that can’t hit you off. – Oh! – [John] Oh, he can fly. (laughs)

– I mean, I dealt with it. – [John] Well now, like they can come over to like these openings and you can beat them up. So actually let’s run back and let these things like fill up with spawns. – Well it’s morning. It’s morning. – [John] Oh. So my dreams are dead.

– Your dreams are not dead. Your dreams are delayed. I was just going to cover the area we already have with slabs. Oh my God. Oh my God. Well, you missed one. Ow, ow, ow! Stop! Stop! There’s a pumpkin. – [John] Can I have pumpkin? – Yeah, we’ll both have the pumpkin, John.

– [John] No, I want the pumpkin. – Fine. I’ve reached the winter island, but I haven’t made it all the way. I made it, but I wanted to build a complete platform underneath it and I ran out of slabs so I’m coming back. – [John] Apparently you can’t punch when you’re crouched.

– That’s ridiculous. I can punch when I’m crouched. Here I’ll demonstrate. All right, I’m back. I have proven that Minecraft is unrealistic. I’m on the winter island John. – [John] How is it? – Oh, a little chilly. It’s just a pumpkin and a spruce tree. All right, I’m coming back with a couple of pieces of dirt. I did not finish the island.

– [John] I think getting armor is going to be really difficult, but like pretty important. – Yeah but the issue is that like, I have no idea how we even get iron. – [John] Okay well what about this? – Ah, no. That was so much damage John.

– [John] Did you drop any iron? – No. – [John] Hey, you dropped a stick. – That’s coming from the trees, dude. – [John] Did you ever plant my potato? – No, we didn’t discuss that. We can start a farmland if you want. – [John] I feel like we should, right?

– Should I start working on that? – [John] You could. – Should I plant like more oak or should I plant our spruce? – [John] Can we name the spruce Bruce? – Yes. – [John] Okay. Yeah, sure. We can make a bows eventually. – Yeah, we could.

– [John] And then I could shoot you. – Why would you shoot me? – [John] I don’t know. Like, last time I hit you, you dropped like sticks. – I didn’t drop the… – [John] Hey, you dropped a sword this time. – Oh my God. I guess I’ll start on the farmland. – [John] I’m going to be honest. I kind of feel like a goof. – That makes sense. You are a goof.

– [John] Skeleton, you’re not getting the way this time. Oh, he’s getting away. – Yeah, he appears to have gotten away, John. – [John] No, I’ll get him this time. He can’t stop me. Oh my God, he has so many friends. I don’t have that many friends. He’s got so many.

– Oh my gosh. It’s a whole party. Wait, you might win. You won. – [John] Oh my God. I got a bow. – Oh my God. How much durability? – [John] Like more than you’d expect, but we also have enough string to like just make a good bow anyways,

So it’s not as exciting as it could be. But I’m still, I feel like I accomplished something. – Well, what did you build down there? John whatever you built far down there is covered in mobs. – [John] Oh. Yeah, I didn’t know about the slab thing.

– We have a single potato growing, John. – [John] Yay! (applauding) – All right, let me search up how to like plant pumpkins. – [John] No. – What? – [John] Nope. – No? What do you mean no? – [John] Nope. No. – What are you doing with the pumpkin, John?

– [John] I already put the pumpkin down. – Where? – [John] Where it belongs. I just put it where it belongs. I don’t like, where do you think it belongs? – In the little farm. And I don’t see it there. John, you’re on fire. – [John] I’m usually on fire. You know what? You’re so focused on everything, but this family. You all forgot about flower mound Texas. Yeah. – Jack! (laughs) – [John] I miss him, okay? – Aw. Okay, John. John, I know how to get more pumpkin seeds. – [John] Oh you sounded like really like upset. Like what’s going on?

– No, I’m not upset. We just have to put the pumpkin in the crafting table. – [John] And then like kill it? Like you want to kill Jack the pumpkin? You better make Jack his own special pumpkin place. This better be five star pumpkin growing. – All right, I’m taking Jack.

How do we get coal, man? I want torches. – [John] I think we have to explore more and more. – Yeah. Watch out! – [John] Oh no, I died on accident. Come on. Yay. – You’re a god. – [John] We have 2 ender pearls now. What do we do with them? Wait, we could ender pearl to the geode. – Oh. But how do you get back? And what if you miss? – [John] I have two. – If you do that

And you miss, – [John] No. – you lose all of the material that got you there. – [John] I can do it. – All right, well I’m going to work on my plan. – [John] Do you want to watch me do it? – Yeah. All right, buddy.

– [John] Oh well, I’m not going to hit anything if I miss. – Oh, that’s true. So… Well, thanks for getting rid of our ender pearls, John. No! – [John] I didn’t. I did not land on the geode. – Oh really John? What? – [John] Mikey, I have a confession. – Yeah?

– [John] I really wanted to land on the geode. – Understandably. What are you doing? – [John] I’m making my stairs like I said I was. And then you said, how do you do that? And I was like, I got this. It’s not working so far. – Yeah. I didn’t think it would.

– [John] Mikey, I have a plan. I’m going to need you to take my stairs. – Are you going to jump? – [John] Oh boy. – Why did you do this? – [John] I missed. – You missed? What do you mean you missed, John?

– [John] I was going to hit a block on the bottom and then when I spawned again, then I could put a stair down. And then, you know, I could figure it out. – John, just let me finish this and build the water. – [John] I got really married to the stairs.

– Well get a divorce. Oh, what are you doing? – [John] This will work now. – No it will not, John. – [John] How do you think I built down last time? – Well, okay. Get rid of the bucket at least. – [John] I’ll bring the bucket back. – What is, oh, there’s fish. – [John] There’s fish?

– Wait, yeah. – [John] Oh we can, wait no, that’s what we do with the string, Mikey. We make a fishing rod. – Why haven’t we seen those before? – [John] Am I a genius? So they only spawn over there. Hey look, there’s a new one island over there. – Over where?

Oh, a birch island. Sweet. – [John] Look at that. – Okay, I didn’t quite make it. I do have to go back. – [John] Okay so, I’m going to be honest. My stair idea doesn’t make any sense. – I am very unsurprised by that statement. – [John] Also I refuse to give up. – Okay. Feel free to keep wasting the wood. – [John] Oh my God. A dolphin just spawned. – In the water? All right, I’m going to try and get to the geode, John. – [John] Wait no, you have to wait for me. Wait for me. – Okay, I have the buckets

So we have to be car- – [John] Okay. Okay. – What? – [John] I need to be ready for spelunking. This is really important to me. – Oh yeah, are you going to bring a pickax? – [John] Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got a pickax. – All right.

– [John] Oh, you can see my art. – Whoa. (John screams) Don’t do that. You almost pushed me off. – [John] Don’t stop moving. This is the moving path. We only move. Oh, you go slow. I forgot about that. – I don’t go slow. I started sprinting by accident

And I stopped to undo my sprinting. – [John] Oh, do you have a toggled? – Yes. Or no. I don’t have it toggled. What is that? – [John] Art. – You made a zipper into the sky. – [John] It’s a staircase to heaven. You gonna go up the art? – Nope.

All right, I can probably drop it here now, but I’m not entirely sure of the best way to do it without it like sprawling out and like getting us, you know? So do I just do it on the side of this block right here? – [John] Yeah. – Okay.

I’m going to let you go down and test it and make sure you can reach it and get back up. It looks like it’s hitting it. – [John] Yeah, no, it’s there. I’m spelunking. – All right, I’m going to be back after I drop off the bucket.

– [John] Oh, I got a purple thing. I going to be able to make so many beautiful things. What is this? Oh my God. I’m spelunking out of my mind. – My first amethyst geode on the edge of nothing. There’s some fish hanging out. Hello. It’s becoming nighttime though.

So I’m not sure if I should head back or what. – [John] Does a spelunker had back when things get scary? – Absolutely they do. Well I mean, honestly maybe I shouldn’t go back cause I know I’m safe here. – [John] Okay. – It possible there’s like a mob

That spawns on the way back. I’m a little nervous about trying to swim back up. Okay. – [John] Just remember what a grandpa spelunker said before he had passed. – What? – [John] Oh, I was hopeful that you’d remember. – Okay, I made it. – [John] Oh, there you go.

Wait, why’d you go in the night still? – I was getting bored. Which chest did you put the amethyst and calcite in? – [John] Where our home is. So down another waterfall. – Just like the immediately lower layer. – [John] Yeah. Do you not know where our home is? – It’s actually my first time here. – [John] What? – I mean, since it became,

Since it became our home instead of the, John Michael. (chuckles) – [John] Oh, so everything I’m doing over in my battle zone is stupid. I want that known. – Do you think I could actually inspect it? I’m curious. I haven’t looked at it in a while.

It just looks like a random mass of various woods and rocks. – [John] It is. And it’s not ready for inspection, but I mean, if you’d like to come over that’s I mean, hey. Hi Mikey. I just finished it so. So what you see may confuse you but as we come in, right?

This is the battleground. – Okay. – [John] They spawn, we go over here. We stab them with the little half slabs. They can’t get to us. – Okay. – [John] Like pow, pow. Little, pow, pow, right? You kill them. – Pow, pow. – [John] The spiders try to climb over

But how doff they get in? Now there’s a roof. When you want to go get your supplies, you go over here. Then you hop down and it is a disaster here. But then when you want to get back, pew, now you’re here. – Oh, nice. This was actually really cool.

– [John] Yeah, I’m going to be honest. I love how horrible it all looks. – I mean, it honestly has charm to it, you know? And like kind of seems like a fortress built with haphazard materials in the wilderness, which is what we are doing, John.

– [John] That’s what I like to hear. Now Mikey, I have just come across a realization that may make us feel stupid. But we have cobblestone, which means we can make furnaces. Is there anything that we’d be able to cook at this point that would have like allowed us to do other things,

But we just didn’t even think about it? Like can you make like charcoal? Like how do you do that? – So, I know you can use wood as fuel in the furnace. – [John] Right. – But I don’t know what we would use in the furnace. Let me look. You can make charcoal.

If you smelt a log, wait. Whoa, you’re right. John, you can make charcoal if you smelt logs. Dude! Dude! You’re a genius. – [John] See? – All right, furnace. Where should I put it? – [John] That’s a good question. – All right, this is working. 32 torches.

– [John] Oh, I got a fish. – You did? – [John] Yeah, I got a fish. Oh. Now the bad guys are spawning on my roof. – Do you want me to put torches on the roof? – [John] No, I think it works. If this fighting area gets too smart,

It loses its charm. Oh no! There’s a scary manta ray thing. – A phantom. That’s such BS, dude. We can’t make any beds. – [John] Ah, God. Dude, there are so many new things in Minecraft and I don’t understand. – It’s been a lot more than three nights though. I’m honestly surprised they haven’t spawned before this.

– [John] Oh, I actually didn’t even know. There was a lot over there. Oopsies. – I’m going to look at bed recipes once it’s daytime. Cause that’s why this thing is spawning is cause neither of us have like, neither of us have slept in multiple days.

It’s just hanging out at the entrance to flower, oh! Oh, I killed it. You have to have wool. How do you make wool? – [John] We can do that with string. – Crafting. You can make wool from string. Dude, I didn’t know that. We don’t have enough for two beds,

But we have enough for one. All right, I officially made a bed. Where do you want me to put it? – [John] Yeah, you can add to the flower mound. It’s up to you. – It’s a terrible place for this. I’m trying to make this look nice. Can I move the flowers?

– [John] As long as you put them back. – Yeah, but I still can have a flower mound, but can I make it just not in the dead center of this platform? The trees on fire! – [John] Oh no. Treebeard! – This is not Treebeard. This is a completely different one. – [John] It’s Treebeard junior, junior, junior. – Oh (bleeps) Okay I didn’t die. Look at me. – [John] Shouldn’t we? We should add some pretty things to flower mound. – Yeah. I agree.

Let me just get this other bed made. All right, buddy. We’ve got our beds. – [John] Okay, now Jack is a part of our home. – Let me see. Oh, this looks so cool. – [John] Hi-yah. Oh. – What did you just do? I just got three levels because of that. – [John] It was a sneak attack. It just didn’t work. Oh, I need to name this. What is this fort called? – Fort Hodgepodge? – [John] Oh, wow. – All right, I ate all our cod. Thanks for fishing that up, Benny. – [John] Yeah, no worries.

Hey, maybe you could just fish in the night. Be kinda of fun. – Night fishing. Oh, I got something. I got a salmon. – [John] There you go. – I got leather. – [John] Wait, what? – I fished up a thing of leather. – [John] I need armor. Keep fishing.

– Dude, what the heck? – [John] What? – I just fished up leather boots. They only have one like a third durability but like, can I put them on? – [John] Sure. – I’m stylish. (whistles) So anyways, we should get going. – [John] Oh, are we ready to traverse the land?

– We have so many slabs. – [John] Okay, I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready. – Okay, how do you get through Fort Hodgepodge? – [John] You have to, you don’t go in. That’s as a death trap, you see. You have to do a little parkour. – I see. – [John] This is exciting.

– It is exciting. We’re going to find another island. Maybe. – [John] Oh my God. – What the hell John? – [John] I didn’t mean to fall. – Yeah, one of the few times you didn’t mean, what happened? – [John] I not use to it toggling. – Oh man.

I have a problem, John and that is that it’s gonna be night, night and I not gonna have a path back, through an area that won’t have a bunch of mobs. – [John] You could make yourself a hut. – I am about to place down the last of my slabs.

– [John] And then you have nothing in your inventory of value. – I’ve a almost full durability sword. And about a third axe. – [John] It sounds like you’re going to be fighting your way back, captain. – Hmm. Okay, I guess that would be some action. Well John, I’ve come this far.

I put down a lot of spruce. I’ve gotten so far that I cannot see the previous island. – [John] Okay. – And I don’t see anything. All right, I can see Fort Hodgepodge. – [John] Oh no. How scary is it? – A lot of things. – [John] All right, I’m coming.

All right, this is what you live for. – Should I keep my distance? – [John] This is what you live for. – I feel like I should try and fight my way back. – [John] I can’t leave my troop all alone. – I only have three and a half hearts.

I killed the spider. – [John] Actually, this works because you can grab all of the loot from the things I kill. Watch out for the creeper! – I actually made it. – [John] You did it! You did it. – I actually, I can’t believe I survived that, dude.

All right. I’m off to continue the thing. – [John] Do you think it as like a side thing, I should go build to the birch thing and see if there’s anything like secret, hidden. – Sure. Oh yeah. – [John] Okay, so Mikey. I am seeing something. – Okay. Is it the birch island?

– [John] It’s under the birch island. Something is flying under the birch island. – Okay. Do you want me to come and check it out? I still don’t see- – [John] There bees. There’s bees. – There’s bees? – [John] There’s bees flying under the birch island.

– What? There must be a hive on the island. There are the bees. And what are they doing? Should I start harvesting the dirt? – [John] Sure. Yeah. – Oh, wait. There’s grass on top. I didn’t know there was grass on top. See if you can get weed seeds. – [John] Oh, okay.

Got, yes! – Dude, let’s go. Let’s bring that back and plant it. John, there’s a possibility I won’t get a sapling from this. – [John] Really? – Yeah. – [John] I found a jungle island. – You did? Where? – [John] That was my initiative I was taking. I was like, okay.

We haven’t done enough exploring. As he’s getting that I’ll explore more. So when you get back, jungle trees are ours. – Well John, we have seven logs of birch and won’t be getting any birch, any other birch anytime soon. All right jungle island. In the storm I shall find you.

Oh my gosh, the jungle island is beautiful. – [John] I know it’s sick. Don’t worry, I can do it. I made it. – Did you end, nice job John. – [John] There’s watermelon. – Okay, don’t eat it. We need the seeds somehow, but I don’t know how you get the seeds. So maybe don’t break yet. – [John] Okay. – The last melon. – [John] Mikey, is the most important moment of your Minecraft life. – It gave me five melon slices. So then I guess my next thing is to try and get a jungle sampling. – [John] Yes. – God, these are tall. Sometime to shine. Oh, I broke my axe. Well. – [John] Oh no.

– It’s fine. I just have to go back. – [John] I found something. – What’d you find? – [John] I don’t know. – Are you in the same place I was? – [John] No, I went to the right instead. – The right from the previous swamp island? – [John] Yeah. I’ll go investigate.

– All right, I’m going back to the jungle island with an axe. Oh shoot. – [John] What? – It’s become nighttime and there’s a creeper on the jungle island. – [John] Dark oak. – Dark oak. Nice. – [John] It’s that good? – It’s the best wood, John. – [John] Oh, is it really?

– In just like aesthetics strictly. It’s identical to all the other kinds of wood. I’m really hoping I got jungle sapling, my God. All right well, I think I officially removed all the wood. Oh, I see a sapling. Okay, there is at least one jungle sapling. Two jungle saplings. Three. Four.

– [John] Whoa. Wait till you get back. – Ooh. I’m just picking up this dirt and waiting for these last like leaves to de-spawn. Ooh, I see the dark oak tree. I really hope this tree doesn’t catch on fire from the nearby lava, John. – [John] If it dies, it dies.

– I’m planting the jungle. Oh yeah! Dude. – [John] What? – Look at the base. – [John] Oh my God. That looks so sick. – Dude, it’s so tall. I think this, like, I think this might be taller- – [John] No! – You didn’t have anything important, did you? – [John] Everything I’ve worked for in life, Mikey. My base. Oh, it didn’t get destroyed. It didn’t get destroyed. You son of a… – What are you doing? Ow! Stop. Jerk. – [John] And there it is, the video. – Oh my God.
