Starting my Collection | Ep. 4 | Minecraft Empires 1.19

[UPBEAT INTRO MUSIC] Hey guys, what’s up? LDShadow Lady here and welcome back to empires. Thank you for all your empire name suggestions in the comments last episode. I’m pleased to announce that we have decided on a name and my empire shall forth be known as animalia.

But this particular settlement right here is called Critter City. And maybe there’ll be more towns and cities a future as my empire expands. Who knows? For now though, let’s focus on building up the capital. As promised, I have very busy tidying up the community center. But for now, it’s still almost completely empty.

Filling out this place is something want to do over the course of the series. But for now, I’ll give you a tour of the empty building. This is the main space where we will hold all of our meetings and the animals will gather. More on that later.

Down here, we have a couple of small rooms, and these are going to be my collection rooms. My idea for this building is kind of like the community center from Stardew Valley, so I will collect and store everything in groups. Here will be my mushroom collection.

We’ll need to gather one of each of the four mushrooms to put on display and then all my extras can go in these barrels. Over in this room, there’s a list of plants I want to gather. From all the basics to some of the rarities such the spa blossom,

The Wither rose, the lily of the valley. All of it will be collected and stored in here. And hopefully, it will look really cute. Then in this room, we have the kitchen where I will collect all the different types of food. That’s it for the downstairs, but we have more areas up here.

This room is going to be for all of the ores. My goal is to silk touch one of each of the ores and put them on display in this room. Then I’ll keep all of my precious diamonds and coal in here also.

This next room we have is for all of the fish and aquatic life. I wanna put some little aquariums in here to keep some live specimens as a bunch of deceased ones. This room here is going to be where I store all of my different varieties of logs.

I know. It’s not that exciting, but you gotta have wood. It’s very important. Then on this next floor, we have a room dedicated to what I call, gadgets and conquests. Now that includes such things as mob heads from some of the most formidable foes in Minecraft such as the Ender dragon.

And one day, a warden head, as well as a bunch of gadgets like a heart of the sea, a goat horn, recovery compass, totem dying. They will all go in this room right here, which leaves us with the final room, this huge attic. And just as everybody else is attic in real life.

This is for the bits and bobs that don’t quite go anywhere else. Maybe some stained glass, different types of stone, wool, gunpowder, leather, whatever. This is where all the junk will go. Oh.

And in case you’re wondering, this little staircase up here is to the tower has a lovely view over the lands and a very dangerous fall down to my death. So hopefully you can see my vision for this building.

And now, I will attempt to gather the animals of Critter City for a meeting. Wish me luck. Okay Lucky. Please come with me. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh, that was close. Why is everything a disaster around here? Come on in here to safety. Oops.

I kind of buried cherry blossom under all this dirt here. Sorry. Oh my god. I got struck by lightning. Now I’m starting to think that maybe all those comments were right. Maybe the wool I got from Katherine is cursed. And now I’m cursed too. [GASPS]

No no no no no. Not today creeper. Oh. Okay, critters. I have gathered you here for some important business. We need to fill out the community center. We have a lot of items to collect. Guys, please. The meeting is in session.

Maybe assembling a council of wild animals was not a good idea. I think I’m going to have to handle this one on my own. Oh hey guys. Just dropping in to tell you that Joel and I judged this week’s uTure show. The contestants all played fall guys live on YouTube

And then produced a highlight video for us to judge. Check out the link in the description to watch it and make sure to support your favorites because the winner overall will win one hundred thousand dollars. Now, back to the video. Let’s get started with something easy. How about the log room?

All I have to do is collect one of each type of wood. To decorate this room and get my collection started. And venturing outside of my community center, I can already see four different kinds of wood, Birch, Dark oak, Spruce, and oak. Tada. Well, that was easy.

I’ve already completed half of the collection. Just missing a few more exotic varieties of tree. First, I’ll need some jungle wood. And luckily, there’s actually a small jungle just beyond the lost panda trail. For some reason, right here is the world’s smallest jungle, so I’m just gonna take a few of these trees.

Oh, and while I’m here, maybe I should collect some of these cocoa beans for my plants room. Fabulous. Next, we to venture a little bit further south, where I see in the distance a savannah. That will have the Acacia wood I need. I’ll just take a bit of this.

I need now is a little bit of mangrove. And there’s only one place to get that, the mangrove swamp. Unfortunately, I have heard that a witch lives there. So this could be dangerous, but I need the logs. Woah, it’s so red inside. Cool. That is amazing. Oh my gosh. What was that?

[GASPS] Oh no. It’s a witch’s victim. You poor little thing Oh, jeez. It’s hideous. It’s grotesque. Let’s get the wood and get out of here. Before the witch gets me too. I don’t want to hang around too long in case the witch can sniff me out.

Just hope I don’t need a scent trail all the way back to my empire. Okay. I need to take evasive maneuvers. That should do it. No witch is following me home tonight. Honey, I’m home and I’ve got wood. A little acacia log here, a little mangrove wood here and my jungle log.

Oh and I almost forgot about my cocoa beans. I can take these down to the plant room and I can put my first plant specimen right there. But back to the wood, I’m still missing the nether varieties. Which means I must go through the portal and get some of the wood there.

I’m not ready for the nether. But the collection. Okay. I have a plan. I will make a portal far, far away from my empire. It’s already cursed. I don’t need a portal to hell as well. Oh, I know. There’s a ruined portal over here and a huge lava lake.

Maybe this means this is a good place enter the nether. Yes. Go be free, little bee. Okay. Hopefully, it’s nice on the other side. Wish me luck. Oh, okay. It’s good. This is great. The trees they’re right here. Just what I wanted. Oh, jeez. Oh no. Oh my gosh, I’m getting chased out.

No. Please leave me alone. Oh no. Uh oh! Oh no. I brought it to the overworld. I’ve unleashed something horrific. And I lost everything in the process, of course. Where did he go? More importantly, where did all my stuff go? It went right back through the portal. Oh no. Not again. Okay.

I got my stuff. Let’s get a couple of these little mushrooms for my collection. Oh no. Okay. I got greedy again. I’m sorry. No. Oh, not again. No. Oh my gosh. Oh my god. I’m leaving. I’m leaving. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Well, I got crimson log, but that’s about it.

So I have a new plan. This time, I’m going in a little more prepared with some gold armor. And a strategically located nether portal that will plop me out in the exact place I want to be. If my calculations are correct. I’ll be exactly where I want to be. Yes.

I knew it. Let me get this one and get the heck out of here. Goodbye. That gives us all of the woods we need. Now we definitely need to decorate this to make it look a little cooler.

I decided to switch up the decor in here a little bit to be more wood focused, so I have more of the log displayed. And I built this cute old boat rack to show all the different types of boats. And these are little extinguished campfires that kind of look like log piles.

But I don’t know what to put up there. Maybe… I know. There. Now I think this looks quite whimsical and it actually gets me kind of excited about logs. Look at all the different colors and patterns. Maybe this will inspire me to use more wood.

Oh, and in case you’re worried about the floor, yes. It indeed is visible from below, but I have a plan. What if we just covered the ceiling in glowberries? That seems like a fantastic solution. And we can tick glowberries off the list too if we collect some from this cave down here.

Wait a second. There’s tons of pants down here. I can get all kinds. I can get my azalea bush and some of this drip leaf. But let’s forget the main attraction, the glowberries. So let’s cover up…. Oh no. Uh oh. I made a mistake.

And I’m actually going to have to make these into full blocks anyway. But now, we can hang the glowberries to cover up weirdness. Oh, that looks cute. Let’s see if we can get some actual glowberries and we can get rid of these stupid ugly torches.

Then we have our flowering azalea and of course the big drip leaf. Let’s place this bad boy over here and make them grow he can hold up the barrel that contains the drip leaves. While I’m working in here, let’s see what other plants I have collected already that I can put into storage.

Turns out I had several of the items this whole time. Now all we have to do is put these in place and voila. Each single one has a barrel which I will store the corresponding resource within and it might look a little chaotic, but that’s just how I like it.

One of these days I hope it will be even more chaotic and cluttered in here. What? Where did this fish come from? There’s so much fish. It’s like an endless trail of fish. Where did this come from? This is a lot of fish. Did you see where this came from? Don’t ask questions.

Just collect the fish. It just keeps going. I’ve never seen so much fish. This is the best day of my life. There’s so many fish here. It’s never ending. Much fish. Lots of omega three. It’s good for my diet.
