The Machine ▫ Empires SMP Season 2 ▫ Minecraft 1.19 Let’s Play [Ep.2]

So Hey thanks oh oh that was a that was a mistake how are you how are you doing how you been how was the return trip it was it was pretty pretty bad uh i spawned back home three thousand blocks away in the walk of shame yes well uh in the meantime i’ve taken

The liberty of digging your grave oh thank you so much oh wait here i i some some body parts uh travel interdimensionally there you go uh you can pop that on there um if you wanna if you wanna exhume yourself uh go right go right ahead because uh oh

That’s the fastest consuming i’ve ever done oh so sad this is a sad day oh look at all this stuff yeah you’re missing i mean i’m vowing right now this instant i will go into every end island until i find at least two elytra one for me because i’m gonna die again and

Lose it and then one for you i will get it for you just watch i’m doing this right now i mean i can i can offer you some help with that actually i uh i was saving up some gunpowder and paper for a rainy day but i mean if you if you want

To do a bit of exploring or maybe just have a nicer trip back home then uh there you go buddy you’re my savior thank you so much you know what i’m yo you just watch what’s gonna happen now i’m gonna shower you in gifts you just watch

Yeah i’m not used to this life yet you know this is literally like day three or something i mean yeah just having this on i mean the boxes were all i wanted to begin with but like some wings would have been would have been the icing on

The cake you know what i mean yeah don’t worry i’m a baker i’m going to be the greatest cake of all time heck yeah and leave my my grave there alone have nobody defile it please yeah very very sacred secret uh if you could toss my shovel back in

This direction as well i’d appreciate it oh thank you yeah take that i i’m not worthy of that yet but there we go i’ll be back i will bring oh and listen and here you can have this unexplored map right there oh yeah that’s extra treasure oh oh very nice oh gosh yeah

There’s a big x on it and everything wow all right i’ll go looking for that yet nice well thank you very much safe return journey and uh hopefully it goes a little better than last time i’ll return sooner for good luck i’m gonna kiss uncle fester’s head

Thank you mix i’ll be back see you later buddy bye no kinetic energy death please oh god help alas poor mythical sausage but since that meeting and since our trip to the end where i didn’t get an elytra by the way but hopefully we’ll be

Able to go out and get one in the near future i have been busy i have definitely not been idle i’ve also not been building and that’s something i hope to resolve later in this episode we’re gonna get to that in the meantime though i wanted a bit of a source of xp

And i wanted to do something fun with the triple spider spawner that i found while i was caving with whip the other day so i dug on down to it from this little ravine in the landscape we’ll have a better way of accessing this a little bit later if it’s something i end

Up using but i have been digging out the area around each of these cave spider spawners so that we can combine them all into one mega farm but then i had a thought cave spiders are kind of annoying to deal with in general nobody really likes farming cave spiders but

What if we could turn this into a farm that uses skulk so i did a couple of quick tests and a bit of testing in a creative flat world just so i could see if the concept will work and i think we’re gonna we’re gonna end up with a

System where we turn basically this entire floor into skulk blocks and have them projected up towards where the player is standing at an afk spot somewhere over here now it is kind of ambitious but i also like that about it i think we can do a lot of really cool

Stuff with this now this is going to start off as an xp farm because i can just farm all of the skulk blocks with a hoe and get a bunch of xp from that without ever having to interact with the cave spiders at all but then later on of

Course it’s going to be a farm for skulk blocks themselves which i think we’ll probably do a fair bit with in this series and if nothing else it’ll be a way of tackling a cave spider farm that i’ve never really tried before the spiders are gonna fall into trays of

Flowing water that will feed them down into one of these holes where they’ll die from fall damage and a skulk catalyst is going to convert all of the blocks around them into skulk we’ll set up a stone generator down there a piston feed tape to bring all of the skulk

Blocks back up to where the player is standing and you might even be able to just stand there holding down the left mouse button afk farming all of the skulk i like this idea so let’s get building deep in the darkness at the heart of the world

In a cavern buried under layers of rock there dwells the machine already ancient when it was first discovered no one could find any record of who built it or how or why it simply existed heretical and profane a dark stain upon nature surely the act of a people who had

Abandoned all their humanity most who went near the machine were driven away by the rattle of its mechanical innards the screeching noises coming from deep within the rushing sound of water and a dark sense of unfathomable dread one fact remained those who dared to approach the machine those who could endure the unearthly

Noises it produced those who would risk touching the ooze it emitted molding it crushing it with their tools or their boots or between their hands They emerged stronger than before Good morning oh hey you came out of nowhere nice place you got here oh yeah sorry i haven’t haven’t exactly started building anything yet i wasn’t expecting a royal visit uh well it looks like quite a smart people place you have a lot of farms you you don’t even know technology

There’s a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes around here um so hey what’s up i am in need of string ah i i i may have you covered how much do you need uh well enough for five bows oh oh okay yeah you know i can do that

Easily uh give me two seconds here um here you go all in the bundle for you a bundle whoa oh yeah yeah you kind of throw stuff out of it onto the ground but they’re they’re super useful oh made with string as well so if i i gave

You a little extra you can uh you can make some more if you want that’s epic thank you well i have brought you honeycomb oh amazing thank you very much you’re welcome thanks for the trade i better start walking home yeah it’s pro it’s probably a long way [Laughter]

Best of luck the longest walk yeah yeah yeah now i need to i need to get started on building some roads around here so people are at least you know know which way they’re going that’d be helpful because the savannah is very confusing i’m not going to lie to you it’s a lot

Of the same it’s a very confusing place and it’s only going to get weirder so well i’m excited good luck with your building yeah thanks uh thanks for the honeycomb thanks for the streak oh there he is i was trying to see if i got an achievement for looking at you through a

Spyglass oh there should be one someone should make up what it’s called right now they really should i mean sausage when pigs fly i think that used to be an achievement didn’t it yeah i don’t know it sounds like one if it isn’t it should have been blast from

The past that’s why oh wow that’s what i got what do you got i’ve been i’ve been out i’ve been doing things i’m i have stuff for you i told you i was gonna get it ready for this i’m ready here have some bamboo yes yes yes yes oh my goodness i need

Scaffolding so badly thank you just a little pellet cleanse before the main event okay ready oh that’s like a bamboo sorbet i like it oh yeah bamboo so this is the oh man hold on tell the artist give me a second write that down write that down right now

Artist now watch this i heard you have a spawner that might uh might require something like this of course of course playing the bath box i mean do you do you want to see the spawner because there is there there is a catch uh and i might not be needing that after all

Oh okay okay yeah okay it’s fine but this is the main event this is it thank you so much oh oh how lovely thank you so so much man i was gonna have such a hard time going back out to the end after you and i think joel have

Ransacked the end cities so far oh yeah joel has six i have six also so don’t go anywhere south or anywhere north got a monopoly on elytra now that’s so funny yeah it’s fine you know we had to do it just in case you don’t get other people

Need it or i’m not gonna hoard them like joel who’s not offering it to anybody that man that god tall man he was a lot taller last time i saw him as well yeah so maybe maybe better not mess with him but uh yeah i’m not gonna

Mess with him while you’re over here i i think oh i i think i saw somebody flying in the distance who is that oh i see somebody speaking of which oh no we might we may be getting a visit from him right now either that or he’s off to steal my

Calcite one or the other oh he’s getting that cows i see him that god right there loves that white block then he goes i see him yeah i need to deal with this no he’s thinking your cows i don’t know hello joel there’s a giant god up here

We saw him give me trails of eggs joel are you stealing my calcite i i need that oh he’s left he’s we’ve we’ve rumbled him he’s been found out anyway i i knew it come back over this way i’ll show you the spawner there you go tactical log out yeah i

He think that’s what he was doing yeah anyway uh come down here the entrance isn’t super formalized yet but it’s uh it’s it’s pretty special once we get down there oh that’s fine it’s good to have it hidden you know what you don’t know who you can trust

Around here these days me and flip fast me and flip found a a triple spider spawner so yes the bane of arthropods would have come in useful if i’d done the normal thing with it oh but but instead i have invented the machine what and uh so this thing exploded this

Thing makes skulk blocks for me now no it does not it does it does amazing um do you have any blocks on you can you like pillar up the side of this because i don’t really have like a great entrance for it yet here here let me let

Me just throw you some cobblestone i have a bunch of cobblestone just grab that and uh and pillar up the side of this so that we can stand on the afk spot and you can see what happens there’s a coffee fix i don’t know what’s going on over here oh

So it helps if you it helps if you have a hoe that doesn’t have silk touch so that you can mine it all for the xp uh but what i’ve been doing is gathering it layer by layer the occasional other block comes through because it’s generating stone down there

But oh that’s so cool this is my down there yeah that’s expand the spiders get pushed around by water streams they die down there a stone generator generates it basically every time they drop down there because it’s picking up the fact that they drop string down there on the floor and a

Minecart picks that up whenever it delivers it back to the hoppers that basically triggers the whole system to generate more stone you’re the most sciencey archaeologist i’ve ever met i mean it’s this pure science it’s uh yeah some some a lot of research has gone into making this basically so uh

It looks like it does oh my god look at all those oh okay but yeah it’s aside from the occasional hiccup with cobblestone it’s basically printing skulk blocks for me oh i see it i saw it i saw it working mm-hmm yeah and it does occasionally also produce skulk sensors skulk shriekers

Um yeah you get a few side effects from stuff like that but for the most part it’s stable and i’ve actually got to fully enchanted gear basically just by using this i did have to kill a lot of cave spiders to do it but it was worth it in

The end you get xp how many xp you getting like off like one little row i mean you get one xp per block but it generates five blocks every time you kill a cave spider so it’s basically flip xp farm it’s like a one for one thing and if i have like if

I have mending and i’m breaking on a hoe i can probably farm xp this way oh that is so good oh you did you get a mending boy yeah i did i i managed to find a i managed to find a villager in a distant village who would trade me mending so

Most of my stuff hasn’t ending i can probably like trade somebody else for another uh another book to get the elytra all mended up but i think that’s going to be uh plain sailing okay good guy i got an unbreaking that but they’re so expensive they’re like 48

I gave up i’m trying to get more i’m breaking is worth it though man um breaking is the one thing i find it hardest to get out of an enchanting table yeah i’m gonna get end up um zombifying him later but i’ll let you know he’s

Cheaper but if you need him right now he’s uh is that like right at my dog area if you need it awesome cool oh what great day this is i’ve done so much i’ve done so much i got i got so much so many supplies i’m so happy right now i

Got xp oh the sheriff and i are like best friends now oh also the greatest day nice glad the sheriff is out there making friends because uh you know some sometimes people want to tangle with the law and uh oh no it doesn’t always work out well for them

Yeah you gotta go straight for the law and be nice and then so you know you can butter them up in case you do anything illegal by accident they’re your friends i think going straight is gonna be a little difficult for scott but yeah we’ll see how it goes

Yeah i’ve basically gotten used to navigating this rat’s nest of tunnels down here like it’s without a lytra it’s been kind of chaotic but hopefully it’ll restore a little bit of order yeah we just need um for the sheriff to hurry up with the the gunpowder farm because yeah hunting guys

At night now and everyone sleeps so i never get to hunt anything until like no one’s here so i think my hasty promise of a starter house is probably gonna have to wait until episode three and believe me what i’ve got in mind is not really a starter

House as such i’ll i’ll have to show you folks next time but in the meantime i’ve had to farm a bunch of materials in order to get going with some of the design stuff because i’m going to need a lot of different blocks i’m going to need some stuff that’s a little bit

Harder to get i’m going to need a lot of glow lichen which is why i set up this little glow like in farm which you might know from the survival guide if you’ve seen that episode i need to get a lot more bone meal though so i might have to

Rig up some sort of bone meal farm or go see flip about his skeleton spawner still managed to get myself a decent amount of glow-like and we can probably deal with that i showed joel around a little bit earlier i gave him a mending book and showed him where the village

Was so i could get a few more mending books i didn’t want to do too much of that stuff on camera because you know what villagers are like you know what mending is at this point i just wanted to get the rest of that done over here

In the nether i’ve set up a little temporary basalt farm because i have a feeling basalt is going to figure quite heavily into some of my designs the main thing being if you end up farming a bunch of basalt and you craft it together you end up with polished basalt

Which i think is going to look like a really cool column for like some ruins and some worn out old buildings that have just been weathered over time i think that’s gonna be perfect for what we’re doing building over there in the savannah does take a little bit of time

To farm the basalt but luckily in the nether it’s a little faster i had to go north to one of the frozen biomes to get hold of some blue ice from a frozen ocean and the sole soil i actually ended up using the soul campfire trick for

Because i got some soul sand from another fortress but i have no idea where a soul sand valley is and without any unbreaking on my lytra even though it’s got mending right now i am a little bit reticent to go anywhere further out in the nether i’ve also been farming all

Of the different types of wood pretty much except for ironically enough acacia because i don’t know if i’m going to be building with that right away that might go really well with the basalt but i’ll have to see where i can fit it into some

Of this stuff i also don’t know where a warped forest is like the soul sand valley no idea where we’re going to get hold of that and then this last space here is reserved for mangrove wood and while i know where a mangrove swamp is i

Also want to go and visit the local resident who is there so we’ll have to see if we can save that for episode three i think in the meantime we’re gonna go back down and visit the machine which has honestly been going through a few teething problems i managed to get

Rid of most of those by getting rid of some of the blocks around here because the cave spiders were choosing blocks outside of here to pathfind towards and that was causing a little bit of chaos there is also the occasional glow squid that spawns in here although they are

Less common and they tend to stay in there for a little while the main thing i’m finding though is that sometimes the skulk blocks just don’t spread and it may be that they’re spreading to some material around the outside of the farm it may be that the skulk catalysts are

Moving those blocks to somewhere outside of my reach so i’m wondering if maybe i should elevate the skulk sensors put them a little bit higher up there is obviously the problem of the spiders falling onto them if i do that but i get the sense that these gaps in the stone

Here except for the cobblestone which is just a quirk of timing of the stone generator are potentially going to be a problem i’ll be honest even though the skulk xp method may not be the best thing for me right now it’s probably going to be better in a different

Context like if you have a much more productive mob spawner farm or something like that or you can just passively accumulate the stuff and piston feed tape it into a storage system for later i do still really like this despite the fact that it’s pushing stone out of here

Right now i actually kind of need a lot of stone for some of the building stuff i’m going to be doing so i’m actually fine cleaning that up until the machine gets over this more recent hiccup and starts producing skulk blocks again which it seems like it’s doing now but

Mostly i just like the story of the machine it’s kind of creepy and trust me it’s not all gonna be that creepy i’m not gonna just be telling horror stories every episode but i kind of like the idea that the world has these darker more dangerous aspects to it that are

Just lurking out of sight in the caves and so on it kind of ties in with the deep dark itself you know i’ve heard people say minecraft is a horror game now so i gotta start telling some horror stories every so often but once i get mending an unbreaking on a regular hoe

That doesn’t have silk touch i’m gonna be off to the races my elytra is looking a little bit healthier already and i’m a lot happier now that we’ve got a decent source of xp wait wait one more thing one more thing jimmy is live right now the sheriff is live right now and

He’s out mining and that thing has given me enough skull shriekers and skulk sensors that i’m thinking i need to go and plant one in his wagon i think that’d be really funny let’s go do this him and jem ran into the warden in their video oh my goodness

I’ve never seen two people more scared of the warden in my life it’s gonna be great just gotta get some gunpowder so i can make a quick getaway just gonna check that this works we’ll put those two down and if i stand anywhere near the shrieker yep

Amazing okay and it’s not going to spawn the warden or anything because they don’t do that unless they are naturally generated by the world he’s like buried in a deep slate cave right now this is the most basic prank i think i’ve ever done but i really want to see this

Happen oh he’s got a little pig pen over here and all here it is here it is the mesa the wagon he’s also got a board of people who respect the law and the sheriff but he must have storage and stuff yep no he’s got storage in here

Okay well we’re gonna tunnel underneath this i reckon we only need to be about a couple of blocks down so as soon as he comes anywhere near this we’ll put one of those there we’ll cover that up oh that’s gonna be such a great noise as soon as he walks over here yeah

All right all right that’s incredible i don’t know when he’s gonna be back i could be waiting here for hours but i’ve got to do this you know what though we can’t just do that i feel like we at least need to give him some kind

Of gift when he digs that thing up because otherwise that’s just gonna be traumatizing yeah i’ll give him one of my mending books i might as well i don’t really need more than just one at this point and honestly if he asks if he calls me out about it

I’m just gonna say that the shrieker is there to let him know there’s a mending book there all right that’s all buried in there all right i need to cut recording because i’m gonna run out of hard drive space but i’ll try and hit record as soon as he gets back

Okay i think he’s on his way back i don’t know if he’s gonna stop by the wagon or if he’s just gonna go straight to mythical sausages place but i think he’s on his way back oh he’s he’s stopped to talk to his chat he’s so

Close there he is i see his name tag he’s gonna do it [Laughter] he’s so confused oh that was incredible [Laughter] he knows it to me he absolutely knows it’s me where’s he put that no it’s just it’s just it’s a shulker it’s a skulk thing oh jimmy it’s under

The wagon it’s under the wagon i don’t even know where that is the sheriff’s first kick where where is it all right that’ll do that that’ll do for today i think next time i’m going to put a bass drum note block down there so it does the heartbeat as well i think

That’s going to be so good well the sheriff sure has got himself into a pickle and that’s where we’re going to leave this episode from empires i didn’t even get to do an outro last time because we had that whole thing with the dragon not being there anyway folks thank you so
