My Favourite Survival Starter Base!

Welcome to a brand new series called Big goals those of you who have been following me for a while may remember a series I did called Minecraft goals it was my first ever vanilla survival series I had a lot of fun playing it so I’m bringing it back except bigger each

Episode of this series I’ll be setting myself a big goal which you in the comments can help me choose and I have to complete this goal by the end of the episode I know what you’re thinking Joel you’re obsessed with being big and tall

To which I say I am big and tall here’s me stood next to my wife and she is seven foot two and here’s me stood next to my dog who is nine foot free I’m tall anyway please subscribe if you’re excited for this series if you’re new

And leave a like it does mean a lot let’s get started so I did actually look for a seed for this series and I found this one here with this lovely jungle area for a spawn area I believe it is called a sparse jungle and I just liked

How it looked so that’s why we’re staring here and for the first episode I actually have three goals one get a starter house two get full diamond tools and armor and three get a lot of crops you will see what that means a little bit later now I haven’t actually

Explored what’s around this area I just found this area and thought it looked cool but I’m just gonna build here for now as I really like this little area we have some nice sort of like pools of water down here we got bamboo over there we got another like denser jungle nearby

And we have lovely lovely chickens yes new goals new hatreds and chickens aren’t one of them give me a kiss oh okay I don’t want to kiss him there now let’s speed through some stuff here which is kind of boring here I plan to put a little Montage of me doing cool

Stuff instead I went and died I have died almost instantly what was I doing again oh yeah boring stuff quick and boring stuff that you’ve seen hundreds of times before the most important part of any Minecraft world a donkey you love to see it I actually

Just got to saddle from the chest in that Village as well so I could actually ride him yes normally I would go for a male name like Jeremy but today we’re gonna go for a female name and we’re gonna name our donkey Clementine Ride Like the Wind Clementine it’s actually quite a quick

Donkey you know wait and there look I’ve added a chest to Clementine oh look at all those spaces Clementine you’re the best now it probably wasn’t very clear from that progress but I actually managed to get myself five iron which is lovely I’m gonna make myself a

Pickaxe and then I also just got a load of Just Junk so this Bane of Arthropods 1 sword I will never use that ever but I will treasure it but although I look really cool like this I think we should probably go get some actual good stuff first though we must protect Clementine

At all costs probably gonna die again this is good wow I uh I really let my guard down when it’s not hardcore but that’s the point it’s not hardcore I don’t have to care look at all oh geez we’ve already got a load of iron

Though which is good so I guess I’ll go back with iron armor and maybe a shield that’s probably smart alright that’s better if I die now it’ll be genuinely embarrassing oh my gosh how that was so good oh gosh where am I I set myself up for

Failure when I say these things don’t I oh Jesus I chose hard difficulty because I thought yeah I’m pretty good at Minecraft why are there so many creepers why are there no diamonds found a dungeon before I found diamonds of course speaker the devil and you get one of

Them one Diamond never mind two diamonds our third Diamond why do they come in such little quantities skeletons on the other hand come in massive quantities there’s so many skeletons and so little diamonds let’s see if we can get four Creepers with one kill it’s gonna be tricky but it’s not hardcore though

We’ve got seven it’s terrible and I think this here is a good sign to leave I’ll take this lovely back with me though anyway this should be enough stuff to sustain us for now while we work on our house which I think we’re actually just gonna put here it’s

Quite nice here let’s start some planning I’m gonna quickly make a very basic outline of this build that I want to do now I know what you’re thinking Joel what the heck is that all will become clear later my friends but before we do this I want to get a good source

Of food and I’m sticking to being semi-vegetarian for the start of this I’ve just realized I was holding fish in my hand while I said this I want crops one of my goals is to get a lot of crops and I have an idea all right for this

Idea I don’t really need that much stuff it’s just going to take a long time this is the good stuff yes yes love I mean like a jungle temple I feel like this is by far the worst generated structure but saying that two diamonds I’m not gonna

Say no you know what we haven’t had a time lapse yet let’s do a bit of planning via a time lapse when I said a little bit of planning I kind of meant four hours of progress of placing down where our crop fields are gonna go and

As you can see we are not going small I’ve done some Terror farming I’ve done some Bush and wall placing it’s it’s a lot of lot of space aha yes our lovely Fields look at them all watch me prance across them here oh good in Prince he’s

Prancing like a little man oh yay now what are these fields missing oh yeah the crops oops infinite water source infinite hose place the water around let’s let the hoeing begin in hindsight I probably should have made a diamond hoe instead of using 18 of these yeah

And here’s what it looked like in less than a second wow so quick but now we have our Fields ready for crops obviously that one over there is going to be pumpkins where’s the rest well you’ll see I don’t have enough seeds slash potatoes or carrots so I’m gonna

Plant these as I go along and work on our next goal which is to build a house I’m gonna get working on this right now I need to gather some materials unless there’s anything interesting happening I’ll probably cut out most of it I guess this is quite Monumental I’m about to

Get the achievement I’ve made all this Farmland without the CD Place achievement uh kind of ridiculous I’m not sure how long it’s been but we’re on day 44 now so it’s been a while we have stuff and we have nurse and we still have lots of empty crop Fields but hey

If you want to see me build a house yeah you do so this house is a bit of a weird design but with you some jungle wood because we are living in a jungle and I don’t normally build out a jungle wood like I said earlier I also use some

Copper however I ran out of the oxidized copper which is a shame hello welcome to my home let me give you a quick tour down the corridor here we have my enchanting table room except as you notice there is no enchanting table here is my crafting area where we have

Crafting stuff and furnaces and here is my chest room where we have chests and then up the ladder here is where my bed goes but I didn’t put it down yet oops but what does it look like from the outside you’re asking well here it is with shaders doesn’t it look amazing I

Have a wheel do you like my wheel around the back I have a back door look here I go and back out I come door and then I have a chimney why do I have a chimney because it looks cool and then I also have the barrels they are just barrels

Thank you for watching cribs with smallish beans but here in the background is what we like to see look at my crops look at them all I’ve been busy planting while waiting for the copper to Plumbing oxidize but it’s not oxidizing up there anyway as you can see

We have a full field of carrots a full field of wheat a full field of pumpkins a full-filled of potatoes a full field of more wheat and some beetroot beetroot takes a long time and I’m not sure I’m ever gonna need this much red dye or beetroot soup but

But oh well Ellie you watch me fly through the fields now you’re watching me fly along the path past my fields of all my crops I’d say this goal is complete we’ve got a lot of crops although not a lot of beetroot our chests are a mess and I do need to sort

Them out but like everything I always do I’m just going to ignore that for now instead get that obsidian from that portal that’s over there somewhere enchanting table made and now what do we get if we Enchanted the diamond pickaxe ooh I wanted Fortune let’s try an iron pickaxe ooh that’s

Some breaking as well all right well as soon as that diamond pickaxe is nearly broke we may as well try on an iron pickaxe for now ee that’s just terrible disenchant dislike and re-enchant and get silk touch is actually very good but not what I want I want diamonds what if

I got Fortune two we’ll have to do for now what a what a waste of levels oh well I may as well go look for some diamonds as we have a starter house we have fields of crops and yes I just realized I’ve missed some wheat over there

Plant more seeds must plant more seeds by the way I looked at my statistics I’ve used an iron hole over 5 000 times I’ve broken 20 of them I have a problem problem is that I need a better hoe not that I need to plant less crops it’s

Fixed everything’s better now also I do have plans for the rest of these areas like the path just needs to know at the moment but I think a cool like windmill or Barn up there we have some animals Etc around and maybe more crops maybe more crops please I want a mad more

Crops anyway time to go get diamond armor diamond diamond gear and I’m not gonna go mining straight away I’m gonna go looking for Treasure I’m gonna find so many diamonds in here I won’t ever have to go mining again that is free there’s not there’s none there’s none

Pretty isn’t actually that bad to be honest no look with the diamond since our first one oh well maybe we will have to do some mining sad oh dear guess we’re going in and this was a terrible cave I’m already going back out again let’s hope this one will be a little bit

Better spoiler it isn’t oh my gosh that skeleton hit me right in the eye this one looks a bit better forgot my shield but oh well instantly almost died I brought load of planks to make torches and I think I’ve thrown them away by accident classic me oh first name tag

Nice oh yes you love to see that oh gosh my arm is getting quite low if only I had some diamonds to make some new ones but instead I keep finding stupid stuff like this you know what I’m just gonna do some strip mining and see where we

Get this is boring Give Me Diamonds Hallelujah please be more than two oh yay free all right we’re getting a bit luckier now is this four oh my gosh yes I’m gonna keep going until my pickaxes are break or I have all the diamonds I need you

Meet me in the caves where I have 45 diamonds and still one pickaxe and my silk touch pickaxe I’m currently making my way back up to the surface it’s taking a while as iron pickaxes are incredibly slow I look for bumping into these things at the moment is ridiculous

Look on the way up and of course it’s always these two discs what the heck that’s my third cat disc already all right it is time oh voice crack for a little bit of an upgrade we look good now we can also make a diamond ax a

Diamond sword a diamond pickaxe but most importantly the diamond hoe now I know what you’re thinking Joel you have everything you’re tall you’re handsome I mean you have diamond armor you’ve completed your crops you completed your house and that is true kind of but I haven’t completed the crops I need this

Beetroot to grow for me to be satisfied I can’t leave the dirt that’s not gonna look very good doesn’t it look very good at all I will wait I will wait here until it’s all done actually I’ve done that thing where I’ve lied to you I’m

Not waiting there I’m gonna go sort out my chests and get everything a bit organized over here whilst waiting for those to grow I did a thing again I I’ve done a lot of stuff the chests are gone and I’ve also added in this hedge oh Edge I’ve moved Clementine over here and

Clementine now has her name and I’m going to let her carry my Axolotl for now look after Clementine you donkey I don’t know what I’m saying inside the house we’ve done some organizing I’ve now got items in here with item frames labeling them all oh it’s nice this one’s empty still what’s

Gonna go in there I don’t know over here nothing has changed I don’t think and then upstairs I’ve added my most precious item on the wall my Bane of Arthropods won a sword you are useless but you are beautiful seriously that is possibly the worst sword I’ve ever seen

In my life but what about the crops Joel well as the sun rises watch me prance down my path with all the fields full of crops every crop is grown it is looking amazing what a sight to behold my house my farm my everything and with that our

Goals have been completed we’ve got a lot of crops we’ve got a starter house and we have full diamond tools and armor and this has been it for this episode of big goals I hope you enjoy this new series I’m very much looking forward to starting some big projects make sure to

Leave me a comment tell me what you think I should do next and what should I set as my next goal but until then we have to say goodbye I will see you another time bye
