WadZee – I Built a COPPER FARM in Minecraft Hardcore (#55)

Previously on Hardcore Minecraft I made this copper golem statue now let’s check out the comments make a copper Farm why did you not make a copper maybe make a copper Farmers make a copper Farm in this video I built a copper farm so I could get unlimited

Copper in Minecraft and never have to mine this ugly rock ever again and by the way we’re just about to hit 4 million subscribers but I can’t do it without your help so if you enjoyed this video please press that subscribe button it’s free and thank you all once again

For helping Reach This Milestone anyway enjoy the video so it looks like I’ve got some explaining to do uh yeah whoops so explain where I’ve been shortly after my last upload I went away on a short holiday visited the beach enjoyed the sun got horribly sunburned then upon

Coming back I still felt like I needed more of a break so I didn’t work on any content for you know three weeks okay that wasn’t the plan but making content for the internet is not as easy as you pop probably think and once you stop for

Even a little bit it can be hard to start grinding out videos again so I fell into a bit of a void of demotivation also I edited the intro for this video before my break so you can hold your comments I waited a month just

For this so where have I been for the last month well there was actually some super cool stuff that happened for one I was in a laser beam video why is there a wither skeleton I feel like there’s some sabotage going on here and I don’t like

It there’s not supposed to be a Wither Skeleton on this side uh that’s not part of the plan I thought this was just a pleasant melon collecting I’m dodging I’m bobbing and weaving all my years of being a coward are doing good for me here are you struggling laser beam

He’s struggling bro that is literally my face this is my face in in the the laser I was also in the Minecraft squid game that was hosted by Phoenix who is the first game you will be playing red lights green light Already dying that was a quick one oh God you know let’s just chill let’s just chill He’s moving so so you can move your camera I’m scared to move my camera but it looks like you can oh I got pushed I got pushed and then the rest of my time went into playing RuneScape five four three two one boom 99 thieving oh my God what a waste

Of time oh no this was definitely worth it this wasn’t a waste of time at all but anyway enough about that I’m finally back so let’s get into another video right and while I’ve been going through that long-winded intro I’ve actually been collecting all the blocks I’m gonna

Need for today’s copper Farm but there’s still a ton of blocks I need to grab we’re actually going to need to build a ton of snow golems so we’re gonna need a lot of carved pumpkin heads but as well as the carved pumpkin heads we’re also

In need of a lot of snow blocks this is horrible this sucks hey you know what screw this we’re doing this the easy way oh yeah this is so much better I just need 144 snow blocks which is a fair bit yep perfect that’s more than enough and uh

You know what yeah let’s let’s let you go buddy thank you for your help I don’t know how long you’ll survive out here but enjoy now that means there’s only a couple more things I need to collect before we’ll have everything to build this farm and this next one’s a bit of a

Weird one I need to collect some cobwebs which I’m pretty sure you can just get with silk touched I hope all right here we go Moment of Truth can I pick up a cobweb with a silk touch pickaxe it doesn’t look probably oh it’s slow okay wait it’s just gonna be shears

Isn’t it I’m so dumb oh it’s just I’m an idiot in the tutorial that I’m following they use a bunch of this tinted glass which is really expensive but it’s a really cool block because it’s glass so you can see through it but it actually doesn’t let

Any light through so because with most mob Farms you need it to be dark you can’t typically use glass to see inside but uh this stuff it changes that but I’m not going to be building the whole Farm out of this I’m just gonna use what

I can make since I don’t have a ton of amethyst and now across these three shulker boxes I now had everything I needed to build a copper Farm now I just needed to figure out where I was going to build it let’s build it out the back

Here this seems like a good spot to build it okay well I think this is the spot first step I need to build all the way into the sky over 120 blocks up damn this is a long way up look at that oh my and now I was over

120 blocks in the air and ready to build this Farm everything was going to be just fine as long as I don’t look down starting off with this build we’re going to be building the collection area got some chests and Hoppers to be honest before my last video I didn’t actually

Think a copper Farm was possible I obviously knew that drown dropped copper ingots but I didn’t know there was actually an efficient way to farm them until I saw all your comments but it makes sense because as you’ll see later on this bomb uses some pretty neat

Tricks I never would have thought of myself foreign ly we need a note block here I don’t know what this achieves I can’t lie this Redstone Contraption makes no sense to me but I’ll let it happen apparently I need to get underneath here and place all right now

When I put this last Observer here this should start something okay that clicking is going to be so annoying all right so I think what I’ve created here is a fast working sorting system because now I need to put in one copper and 43 random items I’ve chosen sugarcane

Just because I have so much of it so now that should sift through all the junk that the drowns drop and just give us the copper which is all we really want from this Farm the clicking is so please stop [Applause] so I’ve built this nice little slip and slide

All right so now I need to Chuck three Hoppers here and I assume this is where the mobs will actually be dying and then spitting out the items into this water channel oh I see so it’s likely that these Hoppers will pick up all the copper and then all the blocks we don’t

Want will be pushed out the sides Oh oh God no my cobwebs okay at least we know that part’s working now This Farm is so high up in the sky it’s a pain to get to oh my no I need that piston block whoa that is crazy I just popped the totem all right well first of all let’s let’s grab another totem since I forgot how to fly apparently but where did that

Piston go there you are the terrifying thing is if I for some reason didn’t have my totem in my hand at that point I would have just lost everything that’s pretty scary man [Applause] I only brought so much of this tinted glass and it’s getting to a point where I’m about to run out I believe so we’re going to actually uh we’re only going to use it on the front facing side of the farm and I’m going to start just using

Solid building blocks that’s why that way at least there’s a little bit that we can uh look into Foreign now that all these are in place all I need to do I’m pretty sure is just Place water here since the trap doors and fence gates will prevent the water from getting out all right cool and now that will have a Channel of water which will push our

Drowns and zombies along now everything that I build on this side I also need to build on the other side so before I get too far ahead of myself and move on to the next step I want to duplicate this on the other side so let’s make it happen [Applause] All right now things are starting to get more serious because now I need to build out 38 blocks This is a very long farm and now I actually need to build out chains along this entire platform These Chains Are Meant to limit what mobs can kind of Spawn down here I think all right now this is definitely the part where it would be cooler if all

This was tinted glass because we just need to build up a wall and a roof over this entire long Corridor maybe I can replace them in the future but I probably won’t it really doesn’t matter oh I’ve already got a zombie spawning I don’t think you’re meant to be here yet

But sure go ahead Okay um cool we’ve got a drowned in here already all right now once again everything I did on this side I need a repeat on on the on this side I’m realizing I left dirt over there that that’s kind of annoying me All right and there we go now if I’m not mistaken there’s just one more thing I gotta build this next part goes a little something like this All right so this complete mess of trapdoors that I’ve built here is a chamber for the snow golems which will be in each of these little pockets and actually need to build three more of these Chambers one on the other side and then obviously two more so yeah that that’s simple enough Thank you And now I’m fairly certain the last thing we need to do for this Farm is we need to spawn in our snow golems and we can do that quite simply just by spawning them and uh pushing them right in this definitely seemed easy at first but things weren’t going to stay that

Way uh this bit’s a little sketchy come on come on get in that get in the thing uh hey bud do you wanna walk in the oh okay no you’re you’re going rogue all right okay I just don’t know how to push these guys into that bit

No no this this bit here is so impossible to get these guys in here what the hell am I doing wrong I guess I could like spawn them from there and push them that way okay yeah I’m just dumb I’m an idiot that way that way that way that way oh my God

You’re kidding me you’re kidding me all right there we go there we go okay okay I had learned some valuable lessons and eventually I did get the hang of it and after no time at all I had all the snow golems in place and officially the

Copper Farm was complete now we just had to get it started and now as far as I know in order to get this thing started I just need to get one zombie inside this thing but I think because of like all the chains and stuff I have on the

Inside I can’t actually get mobs to spawn in it yet so we’re gonna just have to build a bit of a thing luckily it’s just becoming night time and we’re gonna have to wait for a zombie to get this thing actually started hopefully this doesn’t take too long

Well we only need the zombie out of this this group we can snipe these skeletons perfect ouch no uh baby zombie probably works Perfect all right there’s a zombie in there now okay wait a little zombie guys here he’s getting slammed all right I think this bomb actually might start

Working yeah yeah so now you can see tons of zombies are starting to come in all right this bomb’s gonna get so loud so quickly but you can see it’s starting to work now while I wait for it to really get started up there’s just one

Other thing I gotta do which is just come down here and then add some bottom blocks and a bit of a platform for us to actually collect from our chest and once this thing starts it gets going fast because barely even a minute later and our farm was already looking like this

Okay this bomb is definitely working so now you’ve seen me build the farm and you’ve seen it in action but how does this Farm actually work well it’s actually really simple for some reason when a zombie is attacked in hard difficulty it will cause more zombies to

Spawn nearby so while our snow golems continuously hurt the zombies giant herds of zombies spawn to try and fight back which draws them all into the center and the middle part of this Farm is designed to have this zombies move as slowly as possible because if a zombie

Is underwater for long enough it’ll be converted into a drowned and although a converted drown can’t drop things like Trident it can drop copper ingots as long as it is killed by a player and it’s really that simple so now all that’s left to find out is how much

Copper can we get from this Farm per hour and was it worth building Alright so I’ve found a pretty big floor with this Farm where are they where are the suckers there there that is the big issue with this Farm I’ve still got like another 20 15 minutes left to AFK to do the full hour test but I got completely interrupted by a phantom

All right and that there is one hour up I think just about it could be a little more could be a little less the thing with this Farm though is it’s just it’s never ending so you could just stand here and hit these guys forever but hey

Let’s take a little break let’s go see how much copper we’ve managed to get in roughly one hour oh oh they’re like eight and a half stacks almost nine stacks of copper ingots so that’s like what 550 copper ingots per hour it’s not the most AFK Farm in the world

Since you do have to whack them because drowns won’t drop copper unless they’re killed by a player so you can’t just let the entity cramming kill them you do need to constantly hit them the one thing I am curious about is what happens when I leave and despawn all these mobs

Because the farm did have to get started up by getting one zombie in there if these are all despawned will I have to do that again or is it like will they not despawn or something let’s fly very far away make sure all the mobs are

Despawned and now let’s fly back and see what see what happens so so that’s another downside of this Farm once you leave and come back you’ll have to start it up again this is definitely not my favorite Farm I’ve ever built and no of course I did not forget I

Still need to plant my 200 melons to this melon farm for this episode so let’s get straight to work it has been a while since I’ve done this I just want to say how offensive it is if you do not believe that I still plant these melons every episode because I have been digging out this hill for the last 10 minutes just so I can plant some stupid melons okay I’m sorry I’m sorry melon I didn’t mean that you’re not

Stupid 15 minutes into planting melons still just digging Stone And finally after over 20 minutes of work we’re about to have planted our 200 melons for this episode look once again I’m so sorry for disappearing for a whole month I I really didn’t want to I can’t guarantee it won’t happen again but at the very least if you want to

Keep track of how big this melon farm gets make sure to subscribe because I do this for every episode and thank you guys so much for 4 million subscribers cheers
