Superflat is the BEST Mode in Minecraft

So let me set the scene it’s March 2011 I’m a freshman in high school I’m regrettably wearing shirts like this in public I had no idea my life was about to change forever no not that this that’s right I remember very clearly the first night my brother and I got

Minecraft we pulled an all-nighter exploring caves and building big wooden boxes we spent hours I had actually avoided playing Minecraft because my friend at the bus stop told me it would take over my life clearly he was right because it’s been almost a decade now and I’m making this

Video during my time with the game I’ve had one single player vanilla survival world that I actually stuck with one world that I still play after all these years and I’m still not bored of in fact today June 9th 2020 is the 8th birthday of my first video on that world the catch

It’s a super flat world What’s going on guys oops ignore that okay uh-huh let’s play flats world that’s right flat world you’ll see where we’re going with this in a second so what is a super flat world well on January 4th 2012 Jeb announced a super flat world type and shared a screenshot

It was then added to 12w o1a which was a snapshot for 1.1 basically it’s minecraft ancient history but the super flat consists of bedrock and then two layers of dirt and one layer of grass above that that’s it villages will generate with water and lava which allow you to make cobblestone generators and

Access the nether and there are also loot chests which help you get things like tree saplings ok found the village but other structures like strongholds don’t generate meaning you can never ever go to the end the only biome you can play on is Plains sounds boring sounds awful hopefully it will be

Bearable and the only iron you can find other than loot chests is by making an iron golem farm so how could this incredibly bland version of the game possibly be the one that I stuck with well in a lot of ways superflat is like Skyblock you’re very limited in that

Every single block you get you have to work for you know just here every single piece of cobblestone that you’re gonna get for the most part is gonna come from a cobblestone generator and without access to TNT there’s really no easy way to automate that process things like

Redstone that you can just go mining for in the normal game you have to trade for in a super flat world trading is definitely extremely extremely useful on a flat world we’re going to start finally getting diamond tools being able to enchant – the highest gonna start being able to

Get some redstone get some redstone projects going for the first time I’m gonna be able to get glass for our builds a few other building blocks so this is the loot chest guys pretty incredible every piece of glass that I’ve ever placed on the superflat world had to be

Traded for but while you do have to work for resources more than you would in the normal vanilla game the trade-off is that you get a completely blank canvas to play with there’s no need to light up caves in order to play the game technically and make a mob farm because

You can just cover the ground with water okay there’s no need to clear out a giant perimeter if you want to make all the best farms in the game and there’s no need to chop down a forest in order to create a mega build you can just

Build it and when it comes to building playing on a super flat world forces you to branch out before I played on super flat I had never tried terraforming at all in Minecraft but it forces you to if you want things to look nice and natural

Yeah it was a good episode I’m happy with this place super flat forces you to be all sorts of different kinds of Minecraft players at once you need to learn how to terraform you need to learn how to produce mob farms to get valuable resources that don’t come as easily and

You need to grind like crazy if you want to have the resources to do the mega build you’re dreaming of doing let’s go deep fried turtle like this guy he knows he knows what he wants he wants to deep-fry a turtle it’s almost like creative except you still have to work for it

One two three out for everybody flat color five six seven eight episode six is gonna be great now a long time ago there used to be a server called flat core and it was so much fun and the server isn’t really around anymore and I think there are one or two

Alternatives but I’m not sure any of them are up-to-date and things got really interesting with flat world’s after 1.14 because the wandering trader introduced a lot of new items that you could never get in the game before and so one of the reasons I made this video

Is because I find myself longing for that super flat community for other people interested in this amazing amazing version of the game that’s built right into the create new world menu all you got to do is click superflat so if you’re interested in building up the

Super flat community I urge you to join the MOG swamp discord we’ve got a channel for all things flat world and flat core and super flat for all things flat hopefully if we get enough people someday maybe we can all pitch in on a patreon or something and afford to get a

New flat core server going or something like it because I think that would be a lot of fun especially in the newer version of the game but for now it’s just gonna be me coiling away on my single-player flat world hopefully for many many more years to come I hope
