Valhelsia: Enhanced Vanilla HARDCORE Ep 1 | SKILLS! First day – getting started | Minecraft 1.18

Hi guys Jangro here we are in a new mod pack  called Valhelsia enhanced vanilla it’s on   minecraft 1.18 on fabric it was just launched  in the past day or so so this is brand new   it’s really cool mod pack it’s got some different  twists to it it’s not really vanilla plus it’s  

Enhanced vanilla meaning it’s got kind of a  vanilla feel to it but under the covers it’s got   some great mods to dig into applied energistics  tech reborn to do all kinds of automation lots  

And lots of other mods like over 200 mods already  and the dev team is going to be adding many more   for sure so let’s just jump right in and take a  look i’ve got this world my new world started up  

On a server so here we are in a new world we’re in  a plane’s biome lots of animals around that’s nice   first thing you’ll notice is that we’ve got a  shader pack running this is the complementary  

Shaders take a really quick look at the shader  packs you can see we’ve got shader options here   um also there’s some resource packs here one you  know we can see the trees look a little different   the borders between like dirt and stone you  can see those kind of blend together that’s  

A that’s a resource pack um i’m looking for  oars but you can see here that the marble and   the stone kind of blend together the oars are  really cool if you can find something exposed   there’s a ravine so check yeah check this out

That’s coal right there and you know you  can see this like 3d coal bits sticking out   there’s some i think some copper more copper  down there oh look at this we’ve got a mine   mine shaft down here spider mines excellent  we’re not going to be going down there anytime  

Soon but that is there it seems like a really  great initial except for the lack of trees   a good initial place to start so this is like  i said vanilla enhanced on the surface it looks   very vanilla um there’s no mini map stuff  like that there is a map so that’s great  

Oh there’s a village over here and that looks  like birch so we’ve got lots of oh but up a   hill so we’re going to find trees where’s that  village it’s up there there’s a village across  

The river we have a river that’s good we want to  start near water we want to start near some trees   and preferably a place that’s wide open  and defensible because first of all   we’re in hardcore which may be a mistake  because you’ll also see that i have three hearts  

And that’s how this game starts out  we’ve kind of got this like skill level   progression if we hit the k key it brings out  the skill screen and in order to be able to do  

Anything virtually in this game gain health we add  skill points so we need to level up and you get xp   by doing normal minecraft xp things and you  level up and every time you level up you get a  

Point to spend on skills i mean you might want  to increase health and strength and defense at   the start um you want to make it easy to get more  xp so it’s probably a good idea to do some mining  

And farming so we can survive first of all but  also get to stone axe so we only use wooden tools   if you look at the farming you click on the icon  you can see what these things unlock so level one  

Bucket wood hoe furnace these are pretty important  and fishing rod is level two which is one of the   few ways to get xp besides you know we can kill  passive mobs we can swim and kill all those salmon  

And get food we can fish when we get to level two  farming and gets a few string we can kill hostile   mobs which is risky but much more lucrative from  an xp standpoint those are the big like first  

Couple days of xp gathering once you get to mining  let’s get over here and get some wood you can   start to you know get underground break some coal  for xp certus quartz which is applied energistics  

Is a good source of xp and it’s pretty early in  the in the mining tree so to get you know we can   use stone tools at level four service quartz tool  also from applied energistics 2 um also though in  

Unique to mining is it is unlocking these  what you can mine so i can’t even break sand   and gravel until i’m level one in mining all the  terra cotta and clay level two stone level three   normally we’d want to get advanced mining pretty  quickly because you can’t do much without stone  

However you might have noticed that only the  source blocks like the actual stone and ores   are restricted but not kind of the products of  stone so with the bricks you can break cobblestone   you can break and it’s possible to get these  things particularly cobblestone from structures  

And places like here so you can see here i cannot  break this stone it says up top it’s locked   cobblestone is not locked  because it’s a product of stone   i don’t know if that’s in the spirit of the game  but we’re in hardcore and i’m going to exploit  

That so we get a pickaxe we can get some stone but  we still can’t use stone tools but we can make a   furnace pretty quickly so that’s good news so i  think i might postpone given the circumstances  

Um that we have access to some cobblestone  i could also just run up to that village and   probably get some cobblestone out of their houses  so let’s set up a quick base down by the water

Uh we want to clear things out a little bit  so we can we’ll get some seeds we also want   to be able to see that we’re getting attacked  by mobs because i think we are not going to

This might be a mistake uh i’m not going to  sleep the first night we’re going to go for   xp go for a quick xp start no guts no glory let’s  make we need some axes and we need like at least at least four of those to get us through the first  

First day and let’s get a pickaxe and we  can break some of that cobblestone and let’s   so we got this one point to spend and we can get  a furnace going so we can get some coal cooking  

I think i don’t think there’s any restriction on  making charcoal that way we can light things up   a little bit make it a little safer where was  that cobblestone it’s up here and we want to  

Get some we need a bed although i don’t plan  to sleep there might be it might get urgent so no promises that the Valhelsia depths won’t  nerf access this initial access to cobblestone   you might see it as a loophole  in the mining progression  

But again i kind of feel like  it’s valid it’s already been mined it’s getting dark all right we need to get to level  four farming to be able to use a stone   axe which is going to make our  lives easier let’s get some   let’s get some food going here

So i’ve been playing this game and  kind of testing for a couple weeks   so i do help out with the valhalsi team  and you can see me in their discord   and i always spend the first day chasing salmon  this is going to be a slightly different approach

Quickly get i am hungry and there’s  no quickly right now we can avoid getting attacked by skeletons so   hunting mobs farming one didn’t  i level that up no i didn’t okay   and oh i didn’t get enough wood okay well we’re  going to get a little bit of food here should  

Get us through the first night but i’ve never  spent i don’t know if i finished that thought   i’ve never spent the first day not just fishing  we might still go jump in and grab some fish um farming level two again gives us fishing  so we’re going to want to get some string  

There’s a spider there we need to eat first kind of hurting for food thing about fishing is the drowning part we don’t want to get ambushed by something else all right there’s one string or nor do we want  to fall in a hole when we’re running backwards  

This is not not the safest there’s a zombie  zombies are easy as long as there’s not like   four of them we just want to avoid skeletons  that’s really the main thing is another spider okay we’ve got our fishing rod so we could  just quit fighting and fish but that’s some  

Pretty low xp production fishing we can take  on some zombies at least that’s our creepers okay that was not well played  but we’ve got a zombie here cows walking around freaking  me out okay there’s a spider   i don’t know i’ve got enough string  they’re a little bit dangerous  

Let’s not anger an enderman i don’t want two  spiders at once uh oh okay a zombie and a spider   okay two zombies and a spider you might need  to go fight them in water okay we got this

All right we are close to leveling up again  see one more point i don’t know i’m thinking of   bailing on this night because i just don’t  have enough food that skeleton over there   eyes on you oh two skeletons there you know what  let’s sleep let’s sleep this first night away  

If we can make a bed yes we can oh i  didn’t save any planks all right we’re   we’re in it for the long haul that  is a big am i that’s a big zombie and a drowned drowns with tridents are okay he’s  pretty slow at least but i bet if he catches me  

It’s over okay there’s a drown but it does not  have a trident but there’s a skeleton close by   you stay over there skeleton we are one  shot to a trident so just want to make   sure we avoid we avoid that how we doing with  the night progression okay we’re getting there  

Got this i think i just want to wait for zombies  at this point all right there’s too many skeletons   so we take a look here we got one more point  to spend we’re going to spend it on farming   so we can fish there’s a  creeper we can take him on

Three shots for creeper easy okay so now we  can make a fishing rod if i had enough sticks   i’m a fool using up all those  planks well let’s plant some   sugarcane waiting for the sun to come up and  go get some more wood all right another zombie

No problem all right let’s just take another  quick look at these things um i think we’re   going to want to beef up our defense because for  leather armor it’s just level one and we get lots   of cows around i think that’s going to become  important archery level one bow use villagers  

Level one to trade health of course i’m not sure  we need swords because we’re going to get to we’re   gonna get to a stone axe once we get to level four  farming so day two we’re gonna go get some wood uh  

We’ll do some fishing beef up our xp let’s call it  there i mean there’s our first look at valhelsia   enhanced vanilla name of the game is you know  getting xp so we can level up and get our skills  

Going depends on the circumstances um you know  for me i’ve got access to some cobblestones so   it’s not so urgent that i mine i think it’s  more important especially since i’m in hard mode   that i get going with some defense again the  furnace allowed me to cook meat so i didn’t  

Have to do some heavy fishing on this first  day which i normally would do so we avoided   drowning chances so there we go let’s let’s call  it let’s call it a day uh this is beginning of day
