the BEST START in Minecraft Hardcore..

This is quite possibly one of the coolest spawns I have ever seen in Minecraft I think it’s a perfect spawn and a perfect world to begin a hardcore series on because why wouldn’t it be first thing we have to do though is save these villagers because next to spawn is

An abandoned village now one of my plans for later in the series is to take the villagers from this Village upgrade this Village and make an entire Village of town right here yeah we’re gonna trap these guys in their houses make sure zombies can’t get to them and then I

Guess we’ll steal all of their food because they can’t do anything about it pickaxe take a little bit of food because obviously this is Hardcore so we need to keep ourselves satiated we need to keep our hunger up and we need to keep ourselves regenerating because if we die

This world is gonna be gone and I do not want to lose this world I thought this was going to be a much easier task than it actually was villagers are super annoying I couldn’t get them to stay in the houses even if I tried like come on

Just look at this these guys are the biggest trolls in Minecraft but either way I persisted I had to get it done to make sure they were safe and then just when I thought I’d got the last one I quickly realized it’s not the last one oh finally that

Took way too long and that was perfect timing because the Sun is going down that means the zombies will come out and we do not want these guys to go missing I’m sure they won’t need him and I also won’t need these carrots okay it’s a new

Day and this place looks super flat oh this is more than enough space now I just need to make sure there’s a really nice cave underneath we got three iron from that Iron Golem so let’s make a bucket grab the water see that formation seems like the edge of one of the new

Cave systems so if we keep going this way this actually could work out really well for us I’m actually really quickly gonna grab some of this coal because torches probably pretty handy you can see where I’m going this is good hopefully please I’m a wizard and a mine shaft let’s just

Take a look oh okay we have found exactly where we’re gonna be building our base this is perfect real quick so you know what you have to look forward to I’m going to build a giant base and that is going to be the center part that

Will be a giant ring around it which will have a farm and a place for us to live it’s gonna be underground and there will be four big square holes that go straight down into the cave system Below on the top side in the first ring we’ll

Have a wheat farm or any crop for that matter and then around that we’ll have livestock whether we put it in the quarters and have one of each animal or we collect every single color of sheep I’m yet to decide but it’s basically gonna be a giant donut and we are gonna

Live right inside it and now instead of me talking about it let’s get building okay I just realized how long it’s gonna take to actually level this area the Sun is going down I did not get a bed from the village I gotta get back over there

And get this week this is definitely my smartest decision yet and I’m 100 taking the bed this time all right let’s get back over there and I should probably go into a slightly less dangerous cave at some point and get full iron tools but before I did that I decided it would be

A great idea to just lay out the first ring because I just really wanted to see how big this project was going to be that is going to be giant okay so we need to chop out this entire area and then do it again three times my main

Worry though is because the cave is so close below us I don’t think we’re gonna be able to go too too deep with this ring but we should be able to go to sea level at least my main mission now is to just go into a cave and grab a bunch of

Iron because I am rinsing through these tools so yeah let’s go look for a cape this looks positive and there we go there’s some iron right there all right let’s grab this this is our first Iron of the series and it’s definitely not going to be our last

Oh the temptation to swim into there is way too real but I think I have enough iron and I kind of want to get out of here 30 wait that’s 50 I got 52 iron and I forgot to get coal oh okay dude it’s episode one and I have

Almost died this is why I didn’t want to go caving so soon and without a shield I’m pretty useless I don’t even have a sword so that was taking quite a while to attack that skeleton I guess a more positive news at least we found a good

Vein of coal finally was it worth almost dying for I don’t know I’m probably gonna need a lot more than one iron shovel but that is all I’m gonna make for now now the main task I’m gonna have to level this place so let’s get it done

You have got to be kidding me that is all I cleared with one shovel I need to go and get enchants otherwise this is gonna take way too long let’s armor up that would be the smart thing to do with this iron we have a sword we have a

Shield this is probably gonna be the best way to find diamonds and no those are not diamonds I think that’s glow like it but there is some lapis I’m gonna be honest I don’t actually know what level you find diamonds at these days I think if I can sneak down there

Somehow that’s probably gonna be the way that’s not diamonds I keep thinking it’s that’s diamonds seriously one Diamond that’s it uh I feel like I took a wrong turn oh a glows I’ve never actually seen one of these I don’t think they actually serve a purpose though do they yes it’s

Just a squid in a cave okay a lava level mine chat a minecart chess Golden Apple that’s good diamonds diamonds I see them diamond pickaxe did these Villages even have bookshelves anymore or am I living way in the past but either way there’s plenty of sugarcane and there’s a couple cows

Around so we can do it the old school way if we need to we actually ended up with enough diamonds to get at least four Diamond shovels if we would need to I’m breaking one I guess it’s a little bit better than a non-un breaking iron

Shovel so let me get back to it oh okay there we go I was wondering when that was gonna break it was so close for so long that’s pretty impressive if you ask me I think we’re maybe gonna need a few more shovels but uh yeah I’ll be

Back once this place has you know completely been evaporated boom okay I’m now down to Stone though but I’m pretty much flat so this is going great it’s taking much longer than I expected I’ll see you guys probably when I’m finished in like three days time but for you guys it’ll be like

Two seconds you know what the messed up part about this is as I was building this I didn’t realize but three Minecraft days ticked by I was talking about real life days and then I heard this noise so I made a run for it and then things took a turn for the worse

Foreign I got very lucky and then I decided to go back to work because what else would I do okay my supplies are pretty much completely diminished I mine so much dirt and so much Stone but right now if you take a look I still have this little

Bit to fill in I started on Tuesday and it’s now Thursday okay this actually took me two days oh I’m not proud of what I’ve accomplished in two days I will say that much now I’m gonna do something really stupid that I regret later because it means I’ll have to

Build back up and I found oh oh boy I should not be doing that in a hardcore series okay this should be enough let’s get this little area outlined this is the next corner just here there’s another and the final line bang this is gonna be one quarter of a

Giant hole down the middle of our base that takes us right on top of the mine shaft that we found below so slowly but surely you guys are going to be able to visualize exactly what we’re going for here but right now I need to build this one two three four times

No I don’t even know why I’m continuing I have just noticed the biggest error okay so the problem is this needs to be five blocks lower in the ground I’ve just built it at surface level give me a second one broken diamond pickaxe later we are down in the ground officially

Okay this is kind of looking like a base right no okay wait hold on how about this right that is a little bit better I feel like we can officially say it’s a base because it has a crafting bench bonuses and chests full of dirt and stone as you

Do when you’re mining out a giant area I honestly have no idea what we’re gonna use that for maybe a future build but this place has come together nicely now when I zoom out you guys are gonna see the shape from above and this build is pretty sick I promise it’s gonna look

Way cooler in the future but you can sort of see it coming together already I’m gonna be really careful up here because if we fall we will die and I don’t have my water bucket what am I doing now I feel like I shouldn’t tempt

Fate twice in one video but here we go yeah I gotta stop doing that I am freaking myself out I found that when I was recording live I was just doing really Reckless things for seemingly no reason so I turned off my microphone for a bit and just went back to basics I

Think I kind of underestimated how much Mining and digging there was gonna be while building an underground base but like I’ve said a million and one times in this video so far I think it’s gonna be super worth it in the end and the next thing I’m taking care of right now

Is just mining out these walls and these little edges just to make this thing feel a little bit more complete by adding the rest of the stone bricks these are gonna go along the Baseline like this and they’re gonna fill out the walls and that just ties in the

Staircases a little bit I’m not going to be doing this wall I have a lot more digging to do behind there for now I’m just focusing on the little pieces because I find that’s what’s getting this build done and eventually we’re gonna have done so many little bits here

And there that the entire base is complete and I’m super ready for it to be complete actually it’s not really that I don’t want to be building it anymore it’s that I’m actually really excited for you guys to see it and to get your opinion on it because if this

Series goes well and you guys really like it this is gonna become the first base of the series now it’s time to do the responsible thing and take down only the dirt and leave the Cobblestone yeah I guess you guys can wait until the end of the video

To see if I ever removed this monstrosity maybe we should give it a name yeah no definitely give this Tower a name because that is a totally sane thing to do everyone else names animals we name Cobblestone Towers the best name wins a pin yeah it’s been a while since

The last clip and I spent a little bit of time digging out a couple areas once again believe it or not and I also surrounded the entire place with slabs and filled in all of the little details around the edge that were necessary and

I also added a lava system to get up to the top of our Tower I’m gonna try something and then I’ll be back and you guys are gonna see it in three two one okay that is a slight change but you can see how much it just adds a little bit

Of depth to the build you ever make those snowflakes out of paper and you know when you cut them they’re different every time okay I’m just gonna stop myself right there it seems I’m getting off track again let’s uh let’s cut to me in mind having another near-death experience

That was way too close that was actually way too close what a good water bucket okay now we’re done almost dying let’s fight a bunch more mobs for absolutely no reason and then mine some deep slate really really fast and then fight a zombie and then find something cool is

That a mob spawner that is a mob spot gold okay wait this is actually going a lot better than I expected okay I should probably take care is that diamonds it’s diamonds okay wait this is very very good if we can get a golden apple or something from this I’m gonna actually

Save it just in case we need to make like a mob grinder at a later date if we can get a golden apple from that or just something that’s gonna help us stay alive this will be very very good this is a nine vein of gold wait ten it’s

Been a very worthwhile trip so far let’s see if this is more than one Diamond two three diamonds that is very good that’s another pickaxe that’s gonna help us progress through the build and okay that’s good we have two of these now I’m gonna grab this this this and I think

I’m okay I was just gonna say I think I’m gonna go on a mission for a few more diamonds before we head up this is perfect I feel like this video at this point had gotten to a bit of a roller coaster motion and as you can see right

Here while exiting the cave I stumbled upon a very bad area and for some reason instead of backing off and blocking myself into a wall after almost getting killed by a creeper I thought it would be a good idea to just keep walking and then I saw the most creepers I have ever

Seen in one place foreign that I do not know I don’t know why this happens but it became sort of a recurring theme anytime something bad happened I just ended up completely relaxing for like two hours afterwards so I did a little bit of farming and a

Little bit of decorating of the base I placed some leaves sporadically and planted a bunch of flowers and grass with bone meal but yeah that was a good use of my time I would say this top area is looking really nice the last thing I

Have to do is add some deep slight brick slabs to every single one of these and you guys are about to see the most epic alcohol Montage of brick slab placing ever Yeah what was I talking about this isn’t the most epic parkour Montage ever one thing I’ve noticed while I’ve been building this as well is every time I have to play something like a slab I keep breaking torches which means more and more mobs will spawn in this area so

I need to be reminded to place torches and if I don’t get that reminder we might have no light and we might get mobs I’m not gonna lie though I am already completely obsessed with this base the progression we have made so far is absolutely incredible and if you’re

Still watching at this point thank you for putting up with me and thank you for supporting this because without you guys obviously I cannot do this I think I’m gonna spend the next little while adding some details to the floor maybe something like this just to segment the

Rooms then we can add a nice little floor design in here yeah okay and there’s one of the floors done I’m gonna replicate this on every side so I figured I would just build one and then show you guys the others at a later date I’m probably gonna go eat a big meal

Soon because been a while and that’s exactly what I did I ate a really nice meal I got tucked up in bed after a long day of playing Minecraft and then the next day when I woke up I felt terrible I don’t know what happened but I ended

Up being sick for like a week and yeah this ended up with me not being able to talk really anytime I would try and speak I would just have a coughing fit that’s me can probably explain a bit better as I said I’ve been sick the past

Couple days so I just sort of been doing things on and off I can finally talk my voice is just coming back I have a problem that maybe some of you guys in the comment section that can help me out with I want to put blocks on this roof I

Also have waterlogged leaves the problem is when I have nothing there they don’t drip but as soon as I put a block they drip yeah I guess if you guys have any cool solutions for this definitely let me know I’ve also designed the tunnel layout for these Corners which I think

Turned out kind of cool now in this video I’m not gonna outline every single corner I want you guys to suggest what we should put in each Corner Room for example maybe we turn this into account now then maybe we have a bunch of cows

In here maybe we make this into a giant enchantment Library as much as I’ve outlined the base I want you guys to be the ones that design the inside so it’s sort of you know like a collaboration because I know some of you are geniuses and you’ll definitely come up with

Things that I just wouldn’t come up with but yeah it feels good to know we have an infinite supply of food I don’t know how I feel about the layout from above let me show you guys it from above now I know this is not a problem we’re gonna

Have because we don’t see it from above but do you guys think it would be cooler if I just did wheat all around okay this build is super cool I just don’t know how I feel about the Farms every single time I look at this thing from above it

Just looks cooler and cooler every time I just noticed that has been like that the whole time I need to fix that unfortunately there was no time to fix that because I had to work on the mine shaft segment of the build this meant going to find a Tiger Biome so we could

Get Spruce Wood little did I know this was gonna be over 1500 blocks away though this exploration wasn’t a bad thing because I found this cave and this cave looks insane I feel like we should build something in here later in the series or at least try and Conquer The

Cave because it is absolutely giant I only stepped into it a tiny bit but it goes all the way down to bedrock by the looks of things if you guys have any ideas of what we could do here leave it in the comment section below back to the

Adventure I walked maybe another 200 blocks and I found what has to be the smallest Tiger Biome in Minecraft history it was so small it was just on the edge of a beach it was two little islands and like eight trees I want to say but either way all we needed was

Some saplings and then we could head back to the base and start chopping down these giant trees this took me a decent amount of time because I didn’t know how much Spruce I was going to need so I just kept chopping and chopping and chopping until I mentally couldn’t take

It anymore and then I decided let’s get started on the build now this was actually much easier said than done the whole time I was building I was battling with the idea idea that there was a giant fall below me and if we just put one foot wrong the series was going to

End then and there so I was just precariously placing blocks building scaffolding and not even real scaffolding I was using Cobblestone like the olden days because I didn’t have any bamboo but nevertheless after a lot of time and a lot of effort and a lot of safety things started coming together

And then it slowly dawned on me that I had to do this again three more times so as it turns out I majorly over anticipated how much Spruce Wood I was going to actually need in my mind these were actually a lot bigger than they

Turned out but since we have such a big mine shaft down here anyway I didn’t actually need to bring these as low as I expected but what I really want to do is head down here and have a look beneath so I’m gonna do a risky move as we like

To do oh it’s not fun it’s not fun every single time I do that I hate it but that look at that okay that looks really really cool actually let me come over here and there’s creeper spawning on I’m on my build now there’s gonna be a

Problem them in the future I know that one of those creepers is just gonna drop down on us and it’s not going to be nice but this looks really really cool I still need to bring down the elevator that’s going to come to about here and

Let’s go oh oh go go go go go go go go go go okay I’m just trying to talk about my build can I not just talk about the build for two seconds this is gonna be a water elevator it’s gonna connect to these and then these are sort of just

Prosthetic purposes especially from above let me show you guys from above right now from above you get this sort of old western mine shaft they feel at least this is how I imagine it would look yeah I guess let me know what you think I think it looks really cool I

Just need to build the water elevator now I feel like this is the first time in a while that I’ve actually been able to complete a build or at least work on the little piece of a build while speaking to you guys I know most of them

Have been such large scale parts of the project and it’s just sort of been like cutting through I don’t really like doing that but sometimes it definitely is just necessary otherwise you’ll just be spending like 30 minutes watching me dig blocks anyway let’s get this finally

Linked at the bottom look at that how beautiful is that I’m just gonna drop this a level just so the water doesn’t spill absolutely everywhere go just like so and of course it’s somehow still spills absolutely everywhere okay I made the smart decision to just remove the water entirely temporarily because that

Is the only way I’m gonna be able to build this without losing my mind I’m pretty sure at least and there we go now we have a nice pattern on the bottom part and okay right I need to need to get out of here now I’m gonna need a ton

Of trap doors I’m hoping that just over a stack is going to be enough but it’s probably not going to be okay now the logical safe way to get down here is to just go like this and now we go again I have way too much Spruce yeah okay now

Okay now I have way too many trap doors Okay so now if I do I don’t think I yeah okay so I’ll remove this rip those so they fit in then if I place water right there then I just need to flip the orientation of these now this should be mob safe because I can’t walk into there

But if I crouch and I walk inside then we can swim all the way to the top now eventually this will be an elevator that is assisted by a soul sand block but for now we don’t lose that much breath so we can just swim up it as it is now we have

To deal with the risky part we need to build a quick way down and then if you look there’s a little Gap right here and if from the top you find yourself in this Gap you will fall straight into this pool safely which means we need to

Actually move this and then if you see there’s the little Gap that you want to aim for so you step down you go into the Gap and it’s perfect oh I’m getting shot there okay I just have a little bit more detailing to do with slabs I just need

To put them like this but on here this trapdoor system actually doubles up perfectly as like a weird scaffolding unit okay this actually feels like one of the biggest achievements of this whole base another achievement is finally finishing this underground section now we can actually step back

Make it wait did I ever get that I feel like I was supposed to check it but I never I never did I I okay I never did I have melon seeds now yeah that looks actually kind of cool but yeah let’s add the final trapdoor just like so we are

Really close to being complete on this base I completely forgot that I still have to do this I got way too distracted I was having a great time here and I still have to do this as soon as I had that realization I realized how close we

Truly were to finishing this base so I cracked on I finished off all of the projects that I’d been putting off like mining out this giant room finishing the floors I still haven’t done the ceiling because I don’t know what to do with that and then once all of that was

Completed it was time to head out to the forests and chop as many trees as possible by gathering all of this wood it became a reality that we could finish the sheet pens now I know I haven’t spoken about these at all but that is what the outer ring is for my original

Aim was to collect all of the colors of sheep but in the end I decided it would be better to just do eight pens for the Sheep now I had to decide which eight colors I wanted to collect in the meantime while I was making that decision I thought it would be really

Cool to have an entrance and exit on every single side of the base so I dug down and tunneled through into the base built a little staircase and then we had an entrance and exit on every single site we are almost finished with this base final thing to do before it is complete

Is to collect the Sheep so I got my gear together and I head out on a journey to collect all of the different colors of dye that I would want the colors I’ve decided to go for for this are yellow orange red pink magenta blue light blue

And lime now what I didn’t expect was for lime to be so hard to come across I voted for ages and then finally I spotted a cactus and then I spotted a desert temple that had absolutely nothing in it but I got a few golden apples and then I spotted a coral reef

So everything was kind of just in one place which was really nice I grabbed some Cactus I grabbed some sea pickles and then I found out that if you smelt sea pickles you get lime so that was really cool I didn’t know how much of a

Task it was gonna be to get this many sheep so I just made a start I got two of each color sheep and every single pen the absolute final task for this video was to breed the sheep and once I had enough sheep I could start shearing them

To create carpets and then I could lay the floor of every single sheet pan but took a while to complete the first one and obviously I had to do this another seven times so that’s why you’re seeing this in sort of a time lapse form because as I’ve done with every single

Big bit of this build it’s just way easier to do this than it is to speak through it can you imagine me saying hey I’m just gonna share some then I’m gonna play some carpets and I’m gonna share some more sheep and I’m gonna play

Some no but just like that I placed the last couple carpets and we were finished okay I never actually expected to be able to finish this in one video I’m gonna use some of this leftover wool let’s build up to the top if you watched this point in the video include the word

Ladder in your comment below and let’s do the grand reveal in the next episode see you guys then
