Unbelievable Custom XP Farm in Hardcore Minecraft!

Hi everybody wax fraud here and welcome back to another episode of the Hardcore Minecraft let’s play series we’re actually heading over to the ancient city right now where I had recently hooked up another portal to a giant staircase and we’ll pop through here this was actually all built on a live

Stream and thank you guys for coming to the YouTube live streams we’ve been doing a lot more of those recently and we’re going to continue doing a lot more of them we actually have a nice cozy home on the outside of this cave here if you look down we have the ancient city

In the skull all the way at the bottom but uh decided to make it a little bit safer on our way down hopping in we have a a nice little starter house area up here and we have a giant staircase that leads all the way to the bottom have one

Set of gates here in case the warden decides to follow us up here because you know wooden gates are totally going to stop the warden and here’s another gate because you know two sets of gates are going to stop the warden but we’re in the ancient city now and you’ll notice

That we have our nice cozy entrance all the way down into the deep dark land it’s so dark and desolate down here but uh that’s about to change pretty soon we’re about to start moving some villagers down here but first we are making a skull Farm today we’re going to

Be grabbing a bunch of this stuff right here while we’re down here though on stream I noticed there was a couple of shers that I did not cover up with wool so I think we need to make our way over there I want to keep some of the shers

Out here because I do want to spawn the warden eventually to be able to capture it we actually have this guy right here let’s bridge over real fast we covered this shrier up too for the most part let’s see if we can take it out without any noise and I’m now just realizing

There was a shrier right there man I really got to be careful down here let’s bridge over here real quick I’m going to take this guy out oh no that was bad why did I do that oh I think we reset those so we should be

All good this is the one shrier around here though I’m just going to place this place this and I know that this is going to burn real quick so let’s just do that real fast let’s take you out let’s get you out of here you out of here you out

Of here if my memory serves me correctly there is another skeleton skull down here and voila there we go oh my god there was a shrier right here how did I not see this what is happening how did this thing not get set up that’s insane

I’m going to to take you right now sir you can come with me thank you very much and now we can actually go over here and open up these chests what do we got ooh Some More disc fragments and we got other side I’ve been looking for this

For a while honestly this hoe right here is pretty op if we found that early game that’d be pretty nice and the other one ooh more dis fragments and some Echo shards not bad keep finding places that I’ve missed all the way down here there’s a shrier all the way up top and

I see two shriekers on a tower we’ll come back here next episode to get that taken care of cuz I am bring in some villagers down here and I do not want the villagers setting off those shers it’s nice to be able to fly all

The way back up here to a Cozy home though and it’s also nice to have this hooked up to the nether Highway everywhere that’s far away from home now we have the nether Highway hooked up to so we’ve been getting to and from home very quickly and now to get that skull

Farm done that we were talking about earlier the easiest way to get this done is going to be with a skeleton Farm or a Zombie Farm a spider farm would work too I guess but all of the other tutorials that I’ve seen have just been using skeletons and zombies which leads me to

Believe that those work a lot better I’m trusting a lot of those technical people that play the game here and we’re back at the cozy little zombie spawner and that was pretty lucky timing this little guy right here is actually the perfect example of why the skeleton spawner is a

Little bit better we’re going to want to use a dripstone and these regular zombies that are dropping down these guys are great for that but uh with that little block that’s left open the zombies uh these little guys they can make it through now all of these guys

Right here if they’re falling on a pointed dripstone it’s going to be a little bit better one because uh you’re going to get all that bone meal and two because there’s no such thing as baby skeletons although baby skeletons would be pretty cool if that was added into

The game now we don’t have any skeleton XP Farms that I can think of that we’ve found but there is one zombie XP farm that we have found all the way by the spiral M shaft we actually ran into one while we were digging the hole this was

An 11 by1 hole and we had actually dug out on the back left side right here there was a zombie spawner I’m going to have to go all the way down to find it believe it’s right there but I’m going to actually go behind the scenes and dig

Myself down in there and and there it is okay so we’re actually right on top and I have it fully torched up so nothing should spawn now it would make it a lot easier on us just to use this but I don’t want to have to dig into the

Spiral M shaft right here and there’s a possibility that there’s a skeleton XP spawner up here in the mines I am heing some spiders so I know there’s a spider spawner down here somewhere but if we dig up we can get ourselves a better look at these hanging mind shafts been a

While since we went caving but uh I think it’s better late than never also if we find some enchanted golden apples in here that wouldn’t be too bad see you buddy everywhere in here is a spot that a creeper will fall from exactly right there if it can happen then it will

Happen big Ona okay get out of here please and be gone I have a lot of this lit up down here but I do want to show you guys real quick how the skul Catalyst works and that guy is holding on to some tough that’s my tough dude what are you doing

But I’ll float down here real fast hopefully there’s no creepers that are jumping back around here we have a slime right here there’s a zombie right there too let’s you know get out of here whoa okay that was pretty okay that was nuts that was a little unexpected I

Meant to get the Slime right here but uh I guess the skull kind of change too there we go that’s exactly right here that’s how the skull Farm is going to work basically anytime you kill a mob right next to the skull Catalyst it’s going to turn any blocks around here

Into the skull as long as it’s a deep slate or a stone-like block it will change I just keep climbing up here and there’s just more and more I keep climbing up this m shaft and there’s more and more to light up this is super cool this is part of the 1.19 update

That I never really appreciate if I find a m shaft early game I kind of just come in here real quick and find a chest and make my way out as quickly as possible ooh we got some diamonds over here you be gone and you be gone I think we’re

Coming up on a Yep this is a cave spider spawner believe over here we’re coming up on a cave spider spawner see you later dude is there something stuck is that a skeleton right there okay the cave spiders are here and they’re trying to poison us for sure get out of here

Dude get out all right well I mean everything is getting stuck in here if we can get over here little bit faster I’d like to be able to get a little bit of this and break that we don’t necessarily need there we go and be gone

I’ll get you with the pickaxe sir wait is there another spider spawner right I think this is oh my God this is hold up let’s break this we don’t need all these cave spider spawners right next to us here right now let’s get this out of the

Way let’s break that there we go there are plenty of cave spider spawners around so let’s just break any of them that we see right now this place is so cool it’d be nice to turn actually one of these into a village too revamping all the naturally generated structures

Is so much fun I can’t wait to get all that done and ooh we have an amethyst geode right here I’m hearing a lot of baby zombies but I don’t know where they okay there’s two of them right here this guy is stuck see you later dude sorry

About it like a giant open space of Oak planks right here what is happening what is this this is one of the biggest M shafts that I’ve ever explored well let me tell you if you are in need of chains early game you got a lot of them right

Here ooh more diamonds I’ll take those thank you very much ooh there’s stuff above us that could drop that’s never good let’s go up these stairs looks like I might have been up here to place that torch and I do see a treasure chest all

The way down here what do we got some gold some activator rails and a name tag not too bad we can buy all of our name tags now but the more the merrier I’m loving all these free rails right now getting very deep into this m shaft here

I’m starting to run into a bunch of dead ends starting to hear some Enderman too please no creepers be around here just a zombie right there I did see a yep there’s a skeleton there get away dude back off and what do you know we got another one

Let’s get down there nice and easy looks like the Enderman have been having a little bit of fun down here what do we got picking up a lot of rails here it would actually be pretty cool if these M shafts generated some more Pottery shirts more free rails yum yum yum I

Keep thinking that I’ve lit everywhere up and I’ll just take another turn and then there’s a whole another dark hallway like this right here now we’re just basically in a cave and pretty lucky right here Golden Apple let’s go okay I’ll take that let’s mine right

Here thank you and that’s why why you just keep searching we went all the way back where are we right now we’re just in the middle of nowhere I am hearing quite a few SC oh there he is I was going to say there’s a couple more I

Think that I hear Too ow dude come on get out whoa get out of here you sir were not invited please get out of here thank you very much looks like there’s another one at the end of this hallway almost there what do we got not bad dude

Let’s take it out I’m still hearing skeletons though I cannot tell which wall they’re coming from though like there’s an abnormal amount of skeletons let’s just let’s dig this way a little bit running into a water cave I don’t think the skellies would actually be over this direction let’s go this

Way something’s got to be down this hallway those skeleton noises are getting a tad bit louder just been kind of going at it from every angle that I possibly can okay I’m almost certain that this is a skeleton spawner because there’s way too many skeleton noises okay hold up okay that’s yep that’s

That’s definitely a spawner right there let’s break this ouch and you be gone you be gone G you be gone lot of skeletons to have to be gone I’ll see you all later buddies broke the oh my gosh okay see you no see you oh they’re

In a battle with each other this is great okay you guys just fight each other and I will just continue going this way a tad bit I don’t really hear that many more skeletons I’m going to light this up as quickly as I can and I think they actually might be just around

This corner actually they might have all just climbed up here so we might be in the clear let’s put a torch up there we can actually lock this off just a little bit and we have ourselves a skeleton spawner let’s go what do we have in the chest another name tag another other

What we found two other sides in one episode if a third one rolls around that’d be crazy now this is actually not going to be like the other skeleton spawner where we dig this out four ways on each side and put some water down so that they can go into a water elevator

And fall down for me to just hack away at them for some XP on this one they’re all going to spawn and the water is going to bring them all to a specific center location where they’re going to fall probably close close to some bedrock and so for efficiency we’re

Going to actually just continue taking out that 4×4 in each Direction we’ll get this place all nice and cleaned up taking out the ceiling and I can still hear some skeletons above me let’s close this exposed wall up right here with some Cobblestone close this up right

Here and then we should be able to just move down three more blocks Bing Bang Boom and Bop that should leave one exposed Block in the middle let’s see if we go right down I wonder how far that goes oh we got some surprise diamonds

Let’s go so I can see the Bedrock from right here which isn’t necessarily the best thing cuz we want these skeletons to get some critical damage all the way down here so what we’ll do is we’ll actually take away these and we’ll put some blocks up to get the water up one

More and we’re going to do the classic water elevator to get the skeletons up just a little bit higher so if I hook this up right all of the skeletons should drop down after they spawn up into this water column that is not necessarily a column yet cuz I haven’t

Put the kelp there but all the SK skeletons will get raised up over here and then drop down what will be their imminent death got an open space here this is where they’re all going to fall into so right now we’re looking at about a 20 block drop it could have gone a

Little bit less but I just wanted to play it a little bit safe so in order to get the zombies to fall down this hole let’s take out all of the kelp right here so that this bubble column can start smack that bottom kelp and everything should start rushing let’s

Take this torch out and then we will Tower ourselves up out of here let’s create a barrier here so I don’t accidentally fall out and for the moment of truth let’s take out that torch that torch that guy and that guy okay the skeletons have already started spawning

All right and we have a completely dark Cube let’s back up and close that off now I don’t have an official way to get in and out right now so we have a little bit of a ladder system I want to see if I can beat the skeletons down there I

Want to see it turn to skull I just heard one fall right then and there and yo I just heard one Fall Again are we going to get any skull here and another one fell hm no skull yet that’s kind of strange I wonder if the slabs were messing it up let’s take

These out whoa nothing yet dang this the sound that the skull Catalyst makes is nuts let’s try moving the Catalyst back just a block or two whoa there okay still nothing what’s going on here move the dripstone down by one block let’s see if that helps out at

All and I didn’t see anything right there what is okay and nothing again what is going on so I think I figured it out the dripstone was actually the thing that was causing the problem I thought the dripstone was the thing that was going to increase the efficiency of this

But there you go the dripstone was the one thing that was actually blocking it so this Farm actually does work this is perfect I think in order to get an extra space right here maybe okay actually we’re going to have to bring the wall back too did you see that okay we’re

Going to have to bring a lot of this deep slate back maybe about 3 four blocks okay this is awesome I cannot believe we have a working skull Farm it’s about time dude can always get a little bit of XP from the skull but for now let’s get this replaced going to

Pick all this up before the next guy drops down I think I’m going to make a 15x 15 room this scull Catalyst right here can actually have an eight block radius of detection ooh okay it looks like it works up here too and wow we really need to bring the walls back

Still this is actually going to open up the tunnel that we had built on stream starting off I lined up every three spaces with some polished Basalt with some regular Basalt on the corners I wanted an easier way to get to this skull farm so we have a long hallway

That actually goes all the way up to that Mossy pathway takes a second to get up here but if we just take a little bit of a right on that Mossy pathway we can get over here in no time we got to hop back down though we got to complete that

Hallway also I’d like to make a stone generator take some chiseled polished black stone we’ll throw it along the edges here and then I think behind them we’ll throw a glow stone that’ll actually bring a little bit of nice light to this hallway to bring a little

Color on the hallway let’s actually just make the floor entirely out of moss just bone meal our way all the way back down to the skull Farm there is some lava that’s about to poke through but luckily the Moss is not burning let’s take that down let’s break the end

Of the hallway here okay so now we’re at the skull farm and we have a lot of deep slate to keep replacing this skull with but I don’t want to keep on using the Deep slate I’d rather honestly just use a stone generator by the way it would be

Amazing if there was a deep slate generator so we’re going to continue to clear out the walls here so they stop turning into skull from this Farm but I think off to the left side we’ll actually make a little bit of a hole to put this generator first things first

You’re going to want a double chest let’s get four Hoppers hooked up to that we’re going to get some stairs that are facing The Hoppers once all the walls are up make sure you have a sign right there so that you can water log all of these stairs and make sure that nothing

Runs out you don’t have to but I’m just going to waterlog all of them add one more layer of regular blocks then just make sure to close it off before you put a lava bucket in the middle here now that’s actually just turning everything to Stone here like that and you can

Actually AFK and go four blocks like this until it all turns back into stone you might have to get past the sound of the lava and the water getting into contact here cuz it’s a lot of hissing but uh if you can move past that then

You’re going to be just fine after about a minute let’s see what do we have on the side here and we already have more than a stack that’s crazy and it’s just this nice little compact setup here you have the lava up top you got the water

Down below and you got the little chest in the back now let’s just make this place look a little bit nicer let’s clear out the rest of these walls I’m thinking we need to make a perimeter here let’s actually go 1 2 3 4 5 six

Blocks to the edge and then we’ll go on the seventh block let’s go one down well looks like I’m exposing the original ladder that I took into here all good things must come to an end we now have a bubble column finish up the corner here the coolest thing about the skull

Spreading is that it actually gets stopped by these slabs let’s clear this up real quick let’s take some Stone and get to replacing over here we finally don’t have to use any of the deep slate there we go it should be yeah it doesn’t go anywhere past the

Slabs and the stone is getting taken over this is perfect sorry skeletons but this is uh this is the way it has to be so what I did was actually move the cobblestone generator all the way up at the top I decided to cover it up with

Some deep slate tile walls too and we moved it all the way to the back and it looks like some shriekers are actually starting to spawn now which is not going to be good oh my God there’s there’s two of them oh actually there’s three this is oh my

God under the Frog Light we’re having a little bit of an issue catching some of these materials so I think we’re going to have to catch a little bit of a hopper system right down here of course there is a shrier under here where I’m trying to put the Hoppers let’s get you

Out dude these things are spawning so there’s more sensors already one just spawned right before our eyes I am learning very quickly that this is a very loud Farm we’ll start with a double chest we’ll line up some Hoppers going all the way to the end

We’re going to have to take out this frog light for a second get a little dangerous and we’ll put that there let’s go up here got that glass back in and put a stone piece right there we’re good to go I just want to see if this works

And okay it doesn’t look like there’s any items right there is the chest getting filled up and it is this is perfect perfect what I’ll do is cover this up right here it’s starting to get pretty dark in here so I think the quartz on the floor in between some of

This deep slate and probably on the walls is going to be the best move this is looking nice and smooth already I think what will look even smoother is actually just in the corner putting some Crimson stem and I think we might leave it unstripped that’s o That’s nice and

If these went from the ceiling all the way over to the middle of the farm actually let’s get the high over here it’s kind of a weird name for a block the Crimson High bats looking clean I love the contrast of these colors back to mindlessly placing

Blocks wow it’s already looking so much brighter in here let’s replace these four blocks right here with some ochre Frog Light so it just looks a little bit nicer the walls are built up and we got to start thinking about the scaffolding that is in the way of getting the

Ceiling done I have as you can see the glass tube kind of risen all the way up here as high as I can go I might bring it up a couple more blocks kind of funny we have the pyramid effect going again in back toback episodes we get the glass

Replaced up in here so there shouldn’t be anything able to fall out the pyramid effect I don’t think is able to go any further I have the water tunnel that’s going right above that deep slate block so if I were to go up to the stone generator here and I break this block

One block right here that’s actually where the skeleton Farm is and if I break that it’ll just open up a whole can of worms so that is going to be the limit for our pyramid effect here I think in the corners actually let’s just use some glowstone and then maybe will

Tear us down with some black stone and some deep slate the skeletons live in the darkness and then they all the way over here to A nice bright surprise I’m going to take this layer of deep slate out and then let’s get it replaced we’ll do chiseled polished Blackstone on every

Other block and then let’s see chiseled deep slate right here ooh that’s not looking too bad and a fell I’m noticing now that these chiseled blocks are not really directional like if I place it like this it’s going to face that way and if I place it like this it’s just

Still going to face that way same with the Blackstone blocks too I guess it doesn’t really matter though too much it’s still pretty cool the way they’re textured we have an unlimited amount of Glowstone so I’m probably just going to repeat this pattern up here on the

Ceiling oh okay actually I lied we have some glowstone still up there but now we have some hanging aelia plants and we use the blue ice and the packed ice alternating all the way down we’ll finish this off with a chain and an End Rod right there hop on the ground here

And the ceiling is actually starting to take some of the colors of the sky which is kind of nice cuz we’re all the way down here at Bedrock we’ll line up the last row with some Hoppers over here and on the wall right here we’re using some red nether brick and some endstone

Alternating but with the quartz stairs back behind just to give the Crimson stem a break we’re going to use some warp stem back there but sideways I also thought that only end rods over here would look cool but we’re going to alternate with some lightning rods as

Well and even with half the end rods it’s still going to be just as lit up on those Corner frog lights let’s go ahead and put some torch flowers in there I’ve been experimenting on the floor a little bit I’ve been trying to use a lot of

Reflective blocks like this blue ice and the gold pressure plates the quartz on the wall is super reflective as well as you can see the End Rod is reflecting the Gilded black stone is a little bit shiny and I thought it would be kind of cool to add all of these diamond ore

Blocks that we we have been digging up we actually found 47 of them now that right there that’s not looking too bad and I know they’re called heavy weighted pressure plates but I’m just going to call them the iron pressure plates cuz that’s really what they are if we get a

Higher angle over here ooh this is looking good we have like a little Throne that’s leading up over into the stone generator I’m loving the reflective blocks on the floor and all these end rods on the ceiling we can run up into our throne and go grab as much

Stone as we possibly can I also had an idea that we could use to connect the tunnel to this giant opening that we made here let’s actually use some Crimson stem and go all the way down bring a little bit more color to this Mossy hallway next I was thinking we

Could actually hide some redstone blocks in between the Crimson stems we could put some powered rails on top and use all of these rails that we had found in the M shafts now we can just lazily use a mine cart to get back and forth actually have one right here see you

Later buddy it’s not like I was going to use you right now and I actually thought this hallway was finished with the decorations I just keep thinking of new things to put on the sides here we’re going to use some deep slate brick wall walls then we’re going to alternate some

Lime candles and some white candles we’ll light all these up and we have oh my god oh wo W wo wo okay okay yeah light these up we have a nice warm ambient Vibe hopefully there’s no fire that starts beautiful I love having rail systems that take you to the farm oh my

God we’ve collected four Stacks now of the skull sensors get some barrels hooked up right here so that we can actually just store some of this stuff we don’t have to have it right on the farm anymore these middle sections of quartz are looking a little bit less

Bright than the ice counterpart so let’s actually put some end rods on the sides here and hook them up with some chains that ooh that’s going to be great I take a little bit of scaffolding but we can do that all the way around Bing Bang

Boom and Bop Can’t Forget the bop boom bang and Bing actually on second I thought again we should replace some end rods every other one will alternate with some lightning rods every time I turn around there’s like 20 more sensors behind me dude these guys are so

Loud final chain has been placed let’s see if we can go down and ooh that see that adds so much light the ceiling is so much more vibrant there’s a few more minor decorations that I’d like to add starting with these iron G oh let’s get

That clay pot out of there let’s get these iron gates right here and next I was thinking along these hoppers on every other one let’s put a chain down we’ll put a plant down and then we’re also going to alternate between some Ferns and some cactuses there’s not that

Many plants that reach all the way to the chain Fern is one of them and Cactus is one of them you can also use aelia I know bamboo is really good for that as well again we have a bunch of sensors here and if you look right here we

Actually have one dude I think he has some feather falling boots on because there’s no way he could have survived that fall luckily with one little swipe he’s gone and that just created two sensors alone right there so at least if they fall and we swipe at them it still

Does create some skull I think we did a pretty good job of making this build feel like it’s not all the way down at Bedrock it’s starting to feel like a nice and cozy home down here small detail Mist right here looks like there’s two blocks I almost completely

Forgot to put in let’s put you right there and you right there I also have an idea to make this part of the quartz ceiling a little bit less smooth looking and if we replace these with these smooth quartz stairs that actually starts to look a lot more textured I do

A lot of detailing already with buttons trap doors all of the wooden blocks but I need to get a little bit better at detailing with slabs and stairs themselves and with the stairs you can actually make some cool designs in the ceiling just like this might be fun to

Use some dripstone here we were going to use it initially on this Farm but if we have it hanging from the ceiling we can give it a use let’s put these sensors back here actually I want to see how many bones we’ve been collecting so far

Oh my God we have so many down here now that’s just great and you know what we could do let’s get all of the loot from the ancient city and bring it on down here this will give me the opportunity to show you guys what we did on the

Latest YouTube stream set up the bubble elevator real fast and before you know it you end up in the house and wait a second hold up I actually do have two Oak signs we can just put here right now for the bed ledge and this is the first

Floor interior of our starter house we had actually built this over about a 3 and 1/2 hour long YouTube stream thanks for showing up if you did we’ll fly out here a little bit of a ways and give you guys a better look we just built a brand

New starter house floating here in the Ocean looks the same from both sides we’re going to come over here on Dog Island and don’t guys we will we will get a home for these dogs I do promise that but I love this house it’s nice and cozy it doesn’t really serve any purpose

Other than to house the entrance to the skull Farm tried to make it look as detailed as possible though in case any villagers do decide to move in here but there is a second floor they can actually get up to and an attic all the

Way up top got some nice views of the nether portal from here and the backside over here it’s the exact same but it connects up to this Moss pathway that we had built a while back I guess it’s not really a floating house if I have these

Jungle log stilts on the front porch and the back porch I’m looking at the side of the house here I could probably put some more jungle logs here as well let’s fly home real fast let’s grab all of the ancient city Loot and those jungle logs

I’ll take all of you guys right here and I believe the shulker box with everything from the ancient city is right here up let’s take it down to the basement before we head head back down let’s go right here and I think we can line ourselves up right to this guy we

Can bring the jungle log up this way go over one block and get one right next to it get the cluster on the top to stay consistent and then we’ll go all the way down and strip this log and all right that’s not too bad now

We have the front and back matching the sides of the house it doesn’t look like it’s really floating anymore it does look like it’s more structured now we can head back down and finally unload this light blue shulker box so what do we have we do have a lot of SK oh Echo

Shards I need to actually put a place here for them what I’m going to do is actually put the skull Catalyst right here because the skull itself I’m going to take upstairs to the sea level because I’m going to use that for building get all of the rest of these

Put away here we have so many skull sensors now and I believe we have enough music disc fragments to make this disc finally yes we do we can put it right next to our other other side I also realized I don’t really have a use for these Echo shards because I’m playing in

Hardcore mode and uh yeah so just there’s absolutely no use for them unless there is a use for them and I’m just not thinking of it please let me know in the comments below if I’m just not thinking of it on the corners I think it’d be cool if we use some large

Amethyst buds instead of the Clusters we’re always using the Clusters so we got to give the large him this buds a little bit of love let’s sprinkle these all over the entrance as well and every other block around the skull Farm actually wouldn’t hurt as well and there

We have it the last one placed down we might be good except for up here in our little Stone generator thrown let’s get some on the sides like that we’ll get one right here here and there as well as the corners of our ice square up at the

Top of the ceiling and I think we have ourselves a nice skull XP farm guys we did it thank you all so much for watching this build was super fun to make I spent quite a few hours on the twitch streams and the YouTube streams making all of this now really do

Appreciate you guys spending the time with me on the live streams it really does mean a lot going to get the last four torch flowers up here just for a tad bit more decoration and boom that is it guys thank you so much for watching I really do appreciate y’all thank you to

All the new YouTube members all of the twitch subscribers and the patreon supporters all of the links for the socials are going to be in the description of the video down below I’ll say it again take care of yourselves do something nice for somebody thanks for watching I’ll see you guys next time

Bye
