NEAR DEATH in 1.17 Hardcore Let’s Play 😱

Hey guys jwisp here and welcome to episode 4 of the minecraft 1.17 hardcore survival let’s play here we are back in the amazing world we’ve made tons of amazing progress and we’ve also had immense support on the series so i’m super hyped for this i’m gonna be uploading this a lot and

There’s a lot of things i wanna do but in the last episode here we accomplished some really cool things we made a zombie xp grinder as you can see i have a bit more xp now thanks to that because in this episode i want to do some enchanting because in the last

Episode i also showed you guys how to make this really easy zero tick cow farm uh i’ve been uh i’ve been breeding the cows and uh you know whenever i breed the cows new baby cows come the adult cows die and it’s been getting me a lot of steak

And leather i’ve left it all in the chest i haven’t uh taken any of it yet but this will probably be my main food source and also leather source from now on off camera i also worked on this small little wheat farm just to give myself a little bit of food

Uh plus i need the wheat to breed the cows we’ve also had another villager move into the house here so we have two villagers and then i do have uh some more sugarcane growing around this pond just to get us enough sugar cane because the main thing the

Cow farm and the sugarcane was for was to get enough bookshelves to actually make a full level 30 enchantment table so that’s what i want to do i don’t even really need level 30 right now i just want to get some pretty basic like level one enchantments but i know

For that i’m gonna need some obsidian i’ll need some diamonds and i’ll need some books so let’s see i should have there it is some sugarcane already in here uh i’ll need some wood and then i’m pretty sure do i have all my leather okay i have some more

And this is pretty much all i’ll need now if i use this obsidian i don’t know if i’ll have enough obsidian to fully complete the nether portal which is the other thing i wanted to do in this episode so hopefully we can have enough if not uh we might have to

Do something else to get ourselves another portal so let’s make pretty much as many books as we can because we’re gonna need a lot that might be okay let’s make a few more all right 45 books i think that’s definitely enough or are we gonna have just enough okay

We’ll need a bit more wood but it looks like we have enough books for enough bookshelves we’re also going to need one book for that uh enchanting oh wait actually i need four obsidian don’t i don’t i need four obsidian for the enchantment i do

Oh i messed up okay what we can do let’s go let’s go to this ruined nether portal over here that we spawned by steal one piece of obsidian for that and we can use it for the enchantment table now for this portal i might need more obsidian

To light it and complete the portal but uh i don’t know we’ll see maybe i can take some from the corners and replace it with another block we should be okay i think i think we play our cards where we can do it alright there we go now we have the enchantment table

And it looks like i think i need just a tiny bit more wood but let’s make uh as many bookshelves as we can now i actually don’t need to make all of the bookshelves uh because i’m not going to be placing them all down i’m not going to do any

Level 30 enchantments today i guess i could do one on my pickaxe maybe uh but for my iron armor and you know the rest of my stuff i’m just gonna do some pretty simple like level one or two enchantments something like that uh let’s get a slightly better sword here that one was

About to break so i’ll place it uh let’s place the enchantment table like here i think that’s a good spot and then i just want to do some pretty basic enchantments let’s see what we can get uh oh let’s go for sharpness one okay also uh if i can get something good

On this let’s just put efficiency one on it we have the xp levels for it i don’t really you know i’m not too worried about any of this unbreaking two efficiency two uh i have enough xp i’m getting tons of xp from that zombie grinder so we should be pretty

Much set uh let’s see oh feather falling one okay i’m gonna get that because feather falling will definitely be important with these new crazy caves we have going on so we have that and i think we’re pretty much set maybe can i get a decent level one enchantment on it

Let’s see probably not maybe i can get if i start to place a few bookshelves a slightly better enchantment i don’t know because i don’t know if i want to go for a level 30 enchantment on that pickaxe right away i just want to get maybe a pretty decent enchantment

To tie this over let’s see what we can do let’s see how close i can get to level 19. oh this is level 20. okay let’s just break one bookshelf for now it’s okay we can we can get more leather to make more let’s see what this gets us

Okay well that’s just unbreaking too but hey i’m cool with that that’s pretty decent let’s go put the rest of the stuff in the chest now what i’m to do now i want to head to the nether but i want to really play this safe i don’t want to spend

Tons of time oh that was perfect it gives me exactly a stack of bread uh i don’t want to spend tons of time in the nether really at all i only want to spend as much time as i really have to in the nether until i can get you know fire resistance potions

And some slightly better armor and weapons but before we head there okay i have the flint steel i think we’re gonna need a little bit more obsidian so i’ll bring a water bucket with me and i’ll also bring some torches i should have some torches in here there we go

And i think that should pretty much be good i’ll build some bring some building blocks for the nether but i think i’ll need a little bit more obsidian for this portal so i can take that one piece of obsidian from the corner the other two corners

Yeah i’ll need a few more pieces so i’m gonna head down to a cave try to find some obsidian and be right back i remembered there was actually this lava pool really close to where i built that first zombie grinder in the last episode so i can just use this place some water

On top and get some obsidian i’ll just grab a few pieces i didn’t actually count or oh no we’re not dying today we’re not dying today oh that scared me okay here let’s keep that block of water there uh just to keep us safe i got so scared my reflexes man

My reflexes were so fast okay i thought it was gonna die but yeah i’ll just grab enough pieces that you know we should we should pretty much be all set but that really scared me i thought it was gonna die there i hesitated for a sec i

Was gonna go for the golden apple instead of the water bucket but i think we should pretty much be okay i’ll just play it safe from now on okay we should be all set i would sleep and make it daytime but i’m not too worried we’re about to be in

The nether now first priority is to find a fortress as soon as i can now we definitely have to be careful in the fortress because things like wither skeletons and blazes can very easily kill us especially since we are in hardcore mode um but i think i

Think we should be okay we have the feather falling uh we have some golden apples which can help protect us for a bit if we need to and i think that’ll help keep us um sort of safe besides that i guess a bastion would also be pretty cool we could find lots of

Gold that way so that we could hopefully you know find some golden apples something like that that would definitely be beneficial uh let’s see i just have to break these two pieces of crying obsidian and we should be all set crying obsidian is also pretty cool i

Really like it i think we can hopefully uh make some pretty cool builds using it i’ve never really experimented with crying obsidian but i don’t know i just like the block i think it looks really cool um but yeah fortress is first priority so we can get some netherward

And make some fire resistance potions so we’ll also need some magma cream i’ll be careful let’s get let’s get rid of this jockey first oh he does a lot of damage oh my okay he can he can die okay i think we’re pretty safe though let’s

Get out of here before all the baby zombies take over and kill me okay they do so much damage and hardcore okay let’s be really careful i have my shield okay i’ll have it i’ll have it ready and just in case there’s a guest or a piglet or something

I want to be really careful okay let’s check out our spawn i think we’re safe now i’m not too worried normally i have golden boots but i have some golden armor so piglets won’t attack me and i definitely will not attack piglens i’ll play it safe let’s see

Doesn’t look like there’s much around here in terms of around the actual spawn okay i hear i hear a cast i want to be careful but yeah i’ll try to look for a fortress uh fortresses and bastions are pretty much going to be my number one priority right now

Bastions i don’t know depending on how it looks i might skip one if i find it for now because i don’t have the best armor and weapons so i can’t really defend myself if piglets start attacking me like crazy but we can see at least for right now i’m

Safe from the piglens oh okay looks like we have a pretty decent spawn i really want to be careful with the guests and i also need to be careful for piglet brutes because they will attack me regardless was he ready to attack me why are they coming towards me i don’t trust

Okay okay why are why do you hit me i’m wearing gold right okay so that one piglet attacked me even though it wasn’t a piglet brew but the other one didn’t maybe it wasn’t brew maybe i wasn’t paying attention because piglet brutes will attack you even if you’re wearing

Golden armor but normal piglets will not so i’m not sure what that was about that was kind of weird okay let’s see if we can get the return to sender achievement here let’s oh i think we got it oh no the gas took it away we’re just playing volleyball with this

I want to be careful though i don’t know what’s up with that pigment okay maybe i won’t go for it now i just want to get rid of this guest so it doesn’t keep shooting at me the entire time i’m in the nether come on come on we can get them

Well the gas just kind of went away but we actually have a pretty cool nether spawn we have the nether wastes we have the crimson biome we have the basalt delta right here so we actually have a lot of the nether biomes just right by spawn

Come on i’m actually learning to use my shield be proud of me okay let’s look around here though because like i said i still want to try to find a fortress with all this fog it’s gonna be really hard we’re still in the 1.17 snapshots so we don’t unfortunately we don’t have

Optifine yet uh so i can’t really disable or turn off fog let’s see though hopefully we can find something pretty cool soon let’s just take care of the skeletons uh i’m gonna keep looking around though i’m gonna be careful though because there are a lot of guests there’s a lot of piglens

And there’s a lot of skeletons and hopefully i can find something pretty cool well we actually have a very awesome netherspawn i went not even that far away from my spawn point i think like 100 150 blocks in the crimson biome and i actually found a piglet bastion

But i didn’t want to raid it i saw some brutes in the distance one started to chase me so i ran away that was not the move but then i started walking in the other direction uh just a little bit i’ve been bridging over some small lava pools and whatnot

And in front of me i have found a fortress i actually didn’t see the fortress at first i just had my subtitles on to find some sounds and i heard ablaze it said you know it said like blaze or whatever and i was like all right well if there’s a blaze that means

That there’s got to be a fortress nearby but i want to be careful because blazes can do so much damage to us and also with your skeletons can do a lot of damage to us and so we definitely have to be very safe i also hear some magma cubes sloshing around

And so maybe i’ll try to uh kill them oh my god she does a lot of damage maybe i’ll try to kill them for the magma cream but i really have to be careful because wither skeletons i can take no chances with so like here’s one right here let’s try to take

Him down i have to be very careful i guess if i if i play it really safe with her skeletons aren’t that big of a deal i think the main thing for me with wither skeletons that makes them so hard to kill is not only do they move so fast

But they blend in with the nether brick so half the time i can’t even see them okay there we go we got the other blaze i’ll start killing the blazes though because i do want the blaze raws the blaze rods are going to come in handy

Oh gosh we have a lot of wither skeletons here we better get a skull from this oh please i can come with looting next time oh okay we got the wither effect it’s okay it’s okay it’s okay we can live we can live we can live i forgot that the withered hearts actually

Look different and hardcore okay just in case we get a little okay we’re good i was gonna say in case we get a bit lower i’ll have the golden apple ready but i think we should be good again the main thing i really need from this

Is pretty much just some nether ward so i’m going to keep looking around i really hope that this is a fortress that has netherward i’ve been in fortresses before that don’t have netherward it’s really unfortunate it’s really bad luck but hopefully hopefully we get it it seems like

This might be a pretty big fortress i don’t know maybe it’s kind of small i want to be really careful though i really need to play my cards right because there’s a blaze and a wither skeleton attacking us oh okay i wasn’t gonna talk i was so close to dying there

Okay i didn’t see the wither skeleton we have wither let’s heal up really fast i think i was at one heart there for a second this might be too scary this might be this might be not worth the risk i thought that was gonna be the end of it

I was risking it all i knew i could 1v1 the uh i knew i could 1v1 the blaze i didn’t see that wither skeleton that’s what i’m saying the wither skeletons blend in they’re so hard to see i just did see that one up there though so we

Have to be careful okay there’s another one though it seems like once one where their skeleton sees me the rest of them see me and they just all come chasing there’s none behind me right okay no we’re good we’re good eat some bread regen really fast oh i still hear magma cubes

Let’s be careful i’m going to play it really safe i just want to get inside of this fortress so that hopefully we can find some nether order because that’s really what i need i only need one piece of netherware and we’ll be good that’s all i need

I can get the soul sand somewhere else i just need that one piece of another word to start the farm and we should be okay because i really want to start making potions i don’t think magma cubes will be too hard to find they spawn pretty frequently in the nether i actually haven’t

I’ve seen like one or two so far but i haven’t killed any unfortunately i got too scared because i was always near big pools of lava but i think let’s see okay oh don’t don’t you shoot at me this looks like a slightly more promising part of the fortress

Let’s be careful i’m like holding my breath jumping around here because there’s so many falls there’s so many mobs i’m really trying to play it’s safe and i’m a bit scared i’ll be honest okay let’s be really careful here i know i’m being dumb but like i was

Saying in the last episode i feel like if i don’t take risks then it’s not fun yeah hardcore i could play super safe and get totally geared and stacked before i did anything and just hide in my house the entire episode but i don’t know i feel like that’s not very

Fun to watch nothing productive comes from that and it’s kind of boring when i take risks it’s much more fun i’d rather die playing it risky okay here we go here’s the netherwar there we go okay i won’t bother looking for any more netherward i want to get out of here as

Fast as i can i’ll try to grab a few magma cubes uh on the way home but i’m just glad we got this there we go i’ll grab a little bit of the soul sand here and we should be all set we can start ourselves a small potion farm

And we’ll be good to go but let’s see i hear i hear the magnet cube are we are we close to it oh okay perfect tiny one right there no cream okay oh okay we got some saddles and some horse armor so we can get ourselves a horse this episode

That’s awesome okay any chests around here no i want to grab a few of the chests if they’re you know really close but if they’re not super close it’s all right okay let’s see really fast i’ll grab this chest and then we’ll head back to the portal let’s see

Uh okay well nothing really that good but hey we got two saddles we got some golden and some iron horse armor so i consider that a win plus we got we got the netherward that’s pretty much all i really needed uh and then now i just have to figure

Out how to head back to the port all right so we’re back we’re safe i have uh some of the stuff in the chest here i did get where oh there it is three magma cream and i found uh two pretty big magma cubes killed them down down here i’ll just

Make i guess just i don’t know a pretty small farm i really won’t need a lot of netherward i’m not i’m not a huge potion brewer uh but especially since it’s hardcore i’m uh i’d rather play it safe uh we will need a lot of potions we’re gonna need fire resistance potions

Pretty much i’m gonna have one active the entirety of the time i’m in the nether and we’re gonna need to spend a lot of time in the nether killing blazes and trying to get loot as well as trying to get netherrite i’ll probably fight the dragon once i have fully enchanted diamond armor

Uh but fully and sheds another at armor probably come after the dragon fight uh let’s see come on there we go so we’ll need to fire resistance potions for that i also will need slow falling potions for the dragon fight if it was normal survival

I would call it a day with an mlg water bucket and say that’s suitable but i’m not gonna i don’t think that’s the case for hardcore i want to play it really safe but here we go we have two separate horse options let’s see what’s the best this guy okay this

Guy has a pretty decent amount of health i guess i can tame both of them and try to see which horse is the fastest i really don’t care about the health of my horse or how high i can jump i really just care about the speed and how far it can get me

How quickly it can get me there that’s pretty much all i care about but i guess if we get some fast horses we try to breed them together come on let me tame you please yes okay okay okay let’s test this boy out okay i mean it’s not the fastest horse but

It’s not the slowest he’s got a pretty decent jump it seems like okay okay let’s let’s try out this other boy let’s let’s get the saddle and horse armor off really fast come here come here i guess we can actually keep them in this little area the villager

The villagers pretty much gave us a free horse table but that might be probably a build i’ll make on my own i actually haven’t made a horse stable in a survival world in a long time i’ve just been i got in a bad habit of just clipping my horses to a fence with

A lead but i think a horse table might actually be nice okay this guy oh he has slightly more health let’s see let’s see what your jump is like okay he can jump pretty high okay i feel like this horse has about the same speed as the previous one but just moves

Uh you know has a bit more health so i don’t know i think we’re gonna go with this horse let’s see which horse armor looks better we got we got the silver silver’s looking pretty good uh and then let’s try the gold oh i really like the gold i think the

Gold looks nice all right well we got a horse so i guess as it usually goes if you guys have any name suggestions for the horse let me know down in the comments below maybe i’ll pick the most liked comment or just a name that i really like

That’s usually what i do every time i get a horse or a pet in a survival world uh i might also put the offer up at the beginning of next episode just depending on how many people participate but hey we got a horse and i think it looks pretty cool so

We’ll see what the name is for now i think i can probably just oh yeah there we go i can just leave him in my house i don’t know i don’t think i have a lead but i can probably just leave him there let’s see

Uh yeah am i crazy can you craft a lead or is that just in servers i play no you can’t i thought if you had a slime ball i’m just going insane but yeah he can just chill in my house for now i guess we could also where is it

I guess we could also grab the other horse i did get two saddles i don’t know why i didn’t bring them both i was like oh i only need one horse if we can get the other horse i guess we can ask name suggestions for both the horses

I think that’d be pretty cool so let’s grab the other one really fast just so we have them i can maybe try to tame more horses in the future try to you know look around here for the fastest one because there was another horse right over here in the

Water maybe maybe he’s a fast horse let’s check him out really fast too i’ll just tame all the horses in the area and find the absolute fastest one poor little iron golem stuck in the water let’s see okay this horse doesn’t have a lot of health but who knows maybe

He’s a fast horse let’s see let’s get him on land come on buddy let me love you there we go okay let’s check him out oh he’s okay well this boy he doesn’t have a lot of health and he’s not super fast so let’s see we also okay we

Have some more horses over here i guess i’m just going to keep taming horses and i’ll try to find pretty much which one’s the fastest they all seem to be about the same speed but occasionally when taming horses you will get that one horse that is just incredibly fast and

That’s what i want to go for again i don’t care about height i don’t care about health i don’t care about how high i can jump i really just care about speed but then again i don’t really know how much traveling i’ll need to do in this hardcore world

I’ll probably build most of my stuff pretty close to my house but let’s see let’s see how fast are you okay yeah they all seem about the same speed so i’ll bring this one back uh yeah okay there’s tons of horses around here i would spend all day timing horses

But i don’t want to bore you guys so i’ll just keep these two horses in my house for now and again if you guys have any name suggestions for them let me know down in the comments below just tell me you know the color of the horse or what piece of

Armor they’re wearing and what you think a good name would be and i’ll just keep in my house for now i might try to work on stables next episode or at least sometime soon but for now i think we should pretty much be all set look at them

Super happy inside the house i just hope they don’t make a mess anyways guys that is all for this episode of the hardcore survival let’s play i just have to say i know i’ve said it before and i say this all the time but seriously thank you guys so much for

The crazy support on this series it really does mean a lot it’s been a while since i’ve done a sort of main series survival let’s play survival let’s plays have always been the basis of my channel since i started playing minecraft on here like three almost four years ago

Now which is insane i’ve pretty much had a constant survival let’s play going but then i took a bit of the break with the rtx series because that was bedrock i didn’t upload too frequently but now we’re back to this and honestly it feels really good just to have

Routine be in a survival world and i really hope that uh we play it safe and don’t die i watch a lot of other survival minecraft youtubers too and a lot of people have died recently if you guys watch f whip whip he recently died in a five year long hardcore world

I watch python mc i know a lot of people that watch me watch him he recently just died i know the mythical sausage died not too long ago in his hardcore world and i keep seeing so many people die people are dying on the x-life smp i try

To keep in touch with the minecraft community and i’m trying to learn from people’s mistakes often deaths are due to fall damage or just not having an elytra and i think that’s why we want to be really safe i even said at the beginning of this series

I feel like the downfall of us in 1.17 is going to be the fall damage because there’s so many deep claims uh deep caves stuff like that especially once we get the updated mountains it will be insane and that’s how my boy python died he did diet because of

Fall damage so it’s kind of insane but again we’re having lots of fun with the series and there’s so much i want to accomplish and so much i want to do so if you enjoyed the video and you’re enjoying this series make sure to leave a like on the video

Comment down below and subscribe to the channel it really does help me out and i really do appreciate it but anyways thank you guys all for watching this is jwisp and i will see you guys all in the next episode
