wattles – How To Quickly Find STRONGHOLDS! | Minecraft Guide Episode 39 (Minecraft 1.15.2 Lets Play)

Hey hey hey everybody how’s it going it’s meet your boy coffee boy mm hope you’re doing well today welcome back to the minecraft guide episode number 39 York I just got done listen to some music drinking his coffee life is good it doesn’t really go right

Now and it’s time to do some big things in the Minecraft world but first I’ve done a little bit of work in between episodes you like my terraforming yes please only answer yes yes you like my terraforming so I added a tree right here I’ll show you right there some

Flowers lots of lanterns because I mean they’re beautiful they’re really really good-looking and then I even did a little bit of Bush work over here got creative with the lighting jack-o’-lanterns under the bushes how did he do it world may never know I did it over here as well so spawns should be

Fully eliminated from this area over here we should be safe which is really good last episode I was thinking while we were working on the Phantom trap I kind of realized that that I have big goals for this world and to do those big girls we we sort of need to finish the

In-between areas like this space over here I never actually ended up finishing this so we’ll have to do that soon this is really plain looking and it makes everything look unfinished on camera and I don’t know yeah I really don’t want it to look like that so yeah basically I

Wanted to start that process over there and I really like how it turned out now today is a big big day at least we are going to be continuing at the project that we’ve been working on for the past few episodes and the last episode we hunted phantoms we got some phantom

Membranes and I did a little bit more off-camera but only really a little bit we have nine phantom member in total so I got four more since last episode yeah not a lot but still more than enough for the end today we need to do the final

Big thing that we need to do to go to the end so we have the armor we have the ender pearls we have the stuff to make the potions but we don’t have the stronghold so today we’re going to do two big things we’re gonna make a new

Friend and if we’re gonna go find the stronghold that’s what today’s episode is all about honestly I don’t know which one is more important the stronghold or the friend I’m I’m honestly not too sure so first off eyes of ender eye of ender I don’t know

I can never say it we need to make those things to make those things we’ll need blaze powder and ender pearls to get blaze powder blaze rods we talked about that few episodes ago so there we go then we need to do this and boom i of

Ender now I have ender are magical things they can locate the stronghold within your world which is really nice you’ll need those two of course find the stronghold now you’ll also probably want to have a few other things definitely have a lot of food and a bed this

Process can take a long time sometimes and if you’re out in the field at night I’m trying to find the thing that could be dangerous so food and a pet you need to eat that’s self-explanatory you may also want to grab a map because it might help to mark the stronghold so we’re

Gonna go ahead and grab a map and then some purple wool once we find the stronghold will actually be marking the thing on that map so hopefully it ends up being on one of these maps I really don’t know which one I should take you know what we’ll do this will throw the

Eye of ender where did it go that way okay so that means we need to take this map or that map which is good oh that could have been bad don’t throw your eyes of ender a cactus will take both of these for now so purple wool we really

Only need enough for one banner so we’re just gonna take six of this stuff that should be good nan last but not least you will want some transportation so we’re gonna take a boat and today is finally the day sorry Pam by the way you got a wave

There today but today is finally the day we are going to get a horse I’m thinking this one right there if the horse is good we’ll keep this one if not we’ll ditch it will abandon it well well throw it in the garbage and we’ll find AB new

Better horse we’re looking for speed speed is what I have in mind so hopefully you are speed ah the health is good health is important to jump is also pretty big I I need a horse that can jump at least two blocks hopefully then that would be good but speed is the most

Important thing come on come on we’re friends we’re the are we friends we’re friends okay amazing saddle are you fast you are this is decently fast zero kind of quick you are kind of speed but first let’s check this one really quick and just see see what okay this one has

One more heart which is good for sure we have diamond horse armor though okay really it’s ditching me I went right back to where I started okay that’s cool you how quick are you you are much slower you have decent jump though you are gonna be right here we’re

Gonna live with who’s living in here as sheep okay you’re gonna live with the Sheep we yes okay okay so I think the plan is this horse right here but what is the jump I think that’s like two blocks maybe let’s test it really quick

Can you jump up there yes you can okay that is amazing this horse it eats a name and I think of course the perfect name for the horse is going to be the horse’s name is Stanley of course as it is our boy Stanley right here with the diamond horse armor which

Is great so now it’s time to hunt for the stronghold now hopefully we only have to travel across ylenne if we don’t and we end up having to walk across water Stanley will have to wait Stanley is fully geared up though which is really good so I’m sure the horse can

Handle it now when we threw the first ender pearl or ender I am trauma set up quite a bit today it went that way that means we should probably start by running this way now every cedar every world on Minecraft Java edition will have more than one stronghold the eye of

Ender will simply locate the closest stronghold to you so if you found one stronghold then you wanted to find another you could go really really far throw another eye of ender and it should lead you to a new one I recommend throwing eyes of ender into the air in

Flat open areas if possible and throwing them about every 100 to 250 blocks if you have a lot of eyes of ender then you can throw them more frequently if you have a little then try and move more in between each throw basically the eye of

Ender is going to fly into the air and hover over the ground for a minute and then break as you guys just saw in case I haven’t said already the eye of ender knows everything in those while it only knows where the stronghold is so basically it just followed the direction

That the eye of ender keeps going now you don’t have to be exact with your Matt you could go you know like 300 blocks and 401 you could go less and throw an ayah vendor the distance of between your throws technically does not matter at all but it’s smarter to space

Them out because sometimes and I have ender can break if it breaks it’s gone it’s you just don’t get it back which is definitely bad because you’ll actually need these things to activate the stronghold portal and enter the end as well so so far so good though we haven’t

Lost a single eye of ender which is really really good and I think this is brand new terrain I’m not sure if we ever ended up seeing this I mean I know that when we were looking for bees in episode 1 or 2 or 3 we went over this

Way but I definitely would have marked well no I didn’t have the map back then so I don’t think we’ve seen this but that’s a village over there which is pretty cool of course they see the desert temple as well but work out about a mission we’re we’re gonna find the

Stronghold and probably loot through that thing so filling up my inventory right now with desert temple loot probably not a good idea I also sort of forgot all other wool to mark anything else so we won’t be able to mark anything we’ll just have to remember

That this of town this way and hopefully come back to it later but it’s nighttime we should definitely sleep Stanley you better not go anywhere all right coast is clear so we’ve gone quite a ways so where does the Pearl go we still go that way Wow

Pearl I’ve been a vendor hey I don’t know why I played this game for like eight years nine years and this mechanic has always pretty much been the same thing but I still confuse pearls and ice vendor and eyes of ender eye of Enders which is oh no we found an ocean Stanley

Oh and a beet hey Abbi that’s cool but in Ocean Stanley Stanley wait huh what no way no way no way okay oh it broke so that’s what happens when it breaks the cool particle effect and it’s gone but the eye of ender actually went backwards so up until this point it’s

Been going out this way but now it went the other way which means we we very well may is it on that where’d it go I can’t find it oh no I kind of lost it guys okay it went right there okay so throw it again and it’s going right at the

Grounded looks like which means we actually found this place the stronghold should be located right under here this is so close it’s like pretty much a straight line – this is huge so you know that you found the stronghold once the eye of ender basically just flies right

At the ground or if it just is going back and forth like if it went over this way and then back over that way we’re basically right above the thing so Stanley you are probably not going to be great for stronghold so you’re gonna go

Ahead and wait out here so let’s build a makeshift stable right here we’ll do a corner of blocks and we’ll do two there – right here and Stanley should be trapped forever sorry my guy we will come back for you we’ll put a torch on that just to remember now usually I

Would say right on the coordinates of these things but we’re just gonna be going straight down so it’ll be fine now I think that we should probably make a spiral staircase down here the AIA vendor was insisting on this location right here exactly if we do a staircase

We might miss it so hopefully they’ll be a stronghold down here I mean I don’t see why there wouldn’t be so once we find the thing the banner making supplies will come out and we’ll mark it then we’ll go ahead and explore the stronghold strongholds are honestly one

Of my favorite structures in Minecraft about one because they’ve been the same for so long I think that’s kind of cool and – because they’re like giant bases basically yeah in a sense and I don’t know if they’re just really cool I’ve always wanted to actually make my base

In a stronghold but I’ve never gotten that lucky I usually like to make my base and then not move ever again because I put a lot of effort into building the things so you know ditching the base that we have right now for a stronghold base I don’t know it would be

Cool but I can’t ditch everything but I’m starting to hear mobs so we should hopefully be close how far down are we 40 only Wow okay so I guess we could still have a long ways to go strongholds don’t have a set Y level that they always generate at strongholds also

Don’t have a set formation basically strongholds are made up of many different hallways and rooms so they can be many different shapes but I saw white dude what do we have down here oh oh we have an abandoned mineshaft – wow this is crazy we might actually have a

Mineshaft going through us oh wow we have a mineshaft going through a stronghold wow that is really really cool and the lava is very very dangerous so we’re going to go ahead do this you’re gonna be cut off and we’re gonna mark the entrance hopefully

I can I mean I think I’ll be able to remember but what I’ve never seen this the stronghold is literally a cut through like a mind wow this is really cool I bet we could find a spider spawner here and actually set up a decent stronghold base that is really really cool

Enderman over there we’re gonna be careful so a skeleton that can walk right through here so it looks like this stronghold is going to be the glitziest stronghold that I’ve ever seen the halls are going to be really really ruined which is a bummer in one sense but also

Really cool I’ve never seen this before so now it’s time to explore the thing which is pretty straightforward I mean you walk around place torches on the ground in ooh library room look at that this is one of the best rooms in a stronghold because the bookshelves those

Are very very valuable I mean I mean bookcases are always expensive to make and there’s a lot here so we could steal these if we wanted to but even more importantly there should be some loot in this room I think there should be a chest yeah right over here behind that

Stone block my bed what do we have lots of books and a map I guess that’s cool I don’t really need those right now we’ll leave those there and then there’s one more right there so let’s go ahead and get back down there and check that out now the ceiling here is really

Interesting there’s water right there that makes me think there’s more caves right there because I don’t think we’re under the ocean just books Wow sometimes you can get an enchanted book from these things I was kind of hoping for mending that’s a little bit of a bummer but

That’s the spine now hopefully this strongholds portal room is not glitched that would be a big problem I’ve never seen it before but I think it technically could happen diamonds ooh I like that diamonds are great and it under Pearl too but I’m not too concerned about the Pearl we’ll come

Back for that later Enderman right there again okay you’re making me nervous you know what let’s just take care of the underman really quick here we’ll stand right under this thing and you’re gonna go away sorry I’d meant good bye how many pearls we got three nice the pearls

We’ll wait right there in that loot chest so let’s go ahead and actually mark this place I thought I was gonna do that and then I started exploring so banner right there we’ll just put it right by the entrance for now and then marked on the map that’s great we’ll

Have to label the the banners on our maps later but not today today we’d need to find the portal so let’s go this way now into wait is this the second library yeah this is definitely a second library the other one had fully enclosed walls ooh maybe

We have another chance to find good Luke creeper though you’re gonna go away see you buddy um treasure where is the treasure at oh and a big room too and another creeper okay go away buddy no I meant go away okay that works too I guess no right so okay another creeper you’re

Gonna have to back up back up go wow this is dangerous this is very very dangerous in here yeah I just wanted to see the loot and Apple all of that for another creeper really what is going on with the structures every time I find a good structure in Minecraft

The mobs start spawning like crazy this is not cool we need to we need to light this area that’s very very dangerous but back to the library what do we have in here where’s the loot there should definitely be another loot chests in here somewhere I think it sits on top of

One of the bookshelves in this room maybe if if it’s here or maybe it’s in the side wall on this one this library is different there – fortune – no thanks okay okay so let’s go to this hallway or maybe not maybe not let’s go back where

We heard you we come from this way no we didn’t let’s go this way lots of loot in this one that’s cool the loots not that good but it’s like cool yeah we had definitely haven’t seen this though okay there’s usually loot in this room yes

What do we have iron I’ll take the iron that’s good the gold will be useful at the next update but this world probably won’t see that update so yeah in case you haven’t noticed yet these things are gigantic mazes a fountain room though that’s really cool I actually haven’t seen a fountain room

In a long time where does this go does this go okay this goes back to where we’ve been yeah definitely this is right about that weird library how about over here where does this okay this all loops around this is very hard to explore guys it’s confusing

Staircase over here how about this one where does this go does this go to the the room no I don’t think so oh it does it does okay wow this is the treasure room right here with the with a spawner this is amazing that’s our portal right

There we need one two three four five six seven eight and nine nine eyes of ender which we do technically every now but we’ll turn that thing on when we’re going to the end that’s amazing this is the parlour important rooms will always look the same as soon as you found the

Silverfish spawner and obviously the end portal blocks that means you found the portal room now the spawner is up to you you can remove it if you want or you can keep it I think I’m gonna keep it for now maybe we’ll do something with it later but yeah just be careful the

Silverfish can be really overwhelming inside of this thing but now we need to make sure we’re safe I don’t know where that skeleton is okay there’s silverfish that’s great that’s great what did I say about this over all right so the skeleton it is down there I think we

Really need to make this safe and bad news I have officially run on a coal I forgot my fortune pickaxe as well and I don’t feel like making another one so I think we’re not going to be able to make this place to save what we can do though

Is link the entrance up to well you want instead actually you know we could do we could just dig up from this room what if we added a new spiral staircase from like this area in the stronghold going up to the surface skeleton with an enchanted bow you’re gonna go away do

You know what yeah I think I really like that idea but I need to sleep first because it’s nighttime so let’s go ahead and make a new staircase up to the surface from right here and this time actually it doesn’t have to be a smart staircase now that I think about it it

Could just be a normal staircase that goes up and then turns and continues to go up so let’s do that really quick well a big problem it elates we came up in the water so I’m gonna have to go ahead and remove all this water I’d like the

Staircase to go right up to the surface and probably not have water pouring in so I’m gonna have to fill in a lot of blocks to get rid of these water sources and continue the staircase up I mean I guess I could go back and just reach out

Stip but know that that makes too much sense alright elites what I built what I’ve come up with here is this one word it is it’s amazing it’s it’s beautiful I guess there’s a few words it’s right down here take a look at this this is the best

Thing that I’ve built in this world this makes me emotional this build right here that is it’s beautiful with that dirt accent corner Wow okay maybe it’s not it’s just a staircase but the job has been complete I moved the banner over here remarked the map and this staircase now goes

Right down into I guess what we’ll call the loading room pretty much of of the stronghold so the portal room is right down there and then this room is obviously right here so next we need to link this place up through the nether we have a really nice another hub started

And I think we can expand upon that by linking it up to the strong load so these coordinates right here are exactly where I’m standing the next move the next plan is to grab Stanley and ride back over to the base once we’re at the base we’ll do the math go into the

Nether and make a brand new ice robe that heads right over to this location right here I think I have enough ice stockpiled from the last project but if I don’t we’ll have to do a bit of a sidetrack and go over to the tundra this should be a pretty easy job to

Accomplish it’s just a matter of I guess really making sure we have enough ice that’s the most difficult part now to get back to the base I’m going to do something a little bit different we’re gonna fill in this map as I go as well so we’re gonna ride to the south a

Little bit and then ride back that way just a little bit though because I have to build the bottom strip of this map in so we’re gonna go ahead and leave Stanley with a sheep for now eventually we’ll make a better house or a better

Stable versus an Lea now I need to go ahead and clear out my inventory before I head into the nether and we need to check our ice stockpiles do we have enough ice maybe we might I not you sure I guess we’ll have to see okay so the

Coordinates that we need in the nether those numbers would be those things are there negative 191 31 negative 29 so negative 191 is this way it’s gonna be over there negative 29 it’s gonna be this way so hmm what I’m thinking is we’ll have a tunnel actually coming off of this side instead

Of over there I think this one will only go to the nether fortress so we’ll go over to negative 29 which will be really really short and then all the way down to what was it negative 191 that it’s kind of far but it’s also really not that far at all we

Can easily get over to 29 in no time uh-huh right there and now negative 191 a little bit farther but still pretty easy only 150 blocks now a little earlier on in the series when we’re actually building the nether hub I talked about doing four tunnels coming

Out of the central hub my mind has definitely changed I’m now thinking at two main tunnels coming out of the central hub going in opposite directions coming off of those two main tunnels will be the other tunnels that actually take us to places I think that’s

Probably just an easier way to do things all right so negative 191 is right here we made it all the way over here in pretty much no time at all so let’s go ahead and build the portal go through it and see where it puts us it definitely

Shouldn’t put us down on the stronghold will way too high up for that I think we’ll probably yeah be right up on the surface so now we’re gonna go ahead and take this portal apart and move it down into the stronghold we can easily repurpose the obsidian that the game

That just gave us for free because we didn’t have enough before thank you game no right so now let’s go ahead and build the portal down here we’ll make it this big for no no we’ll make it this big for now just like that and then we go

Through it no this will definitely take us in another hub I’m sure we’ve tested this before ha just as I suspected we’re golden now it’s time to actually at the ice road in I’ll be using the exact same ice road design on this ice road that I used

On the other ice road that means ice in the middle no blocks on either side and then glass panes on the walls on both sides of the size room that is the plan so they’ll be back once this ice road is done and in I’ll probably end up

Having to go to the tundra because unfortunately I think I’m gonna be just short on the ice right well the tunnel and the ice road is now officially done the right tunnel has now been begun this connects all the way up over to the stronghold we can get there super super

Quickly which is really really nice now while working on this project I did actually end up having to go to the Mesa too because I was out of Terra Cotta and I needed more blue Terra Cotta four of the red eye I guess well the red the red pipe

Entrance right there but yeah everything is now good and in I’m actually making a bunch of glass too but it looks like I ended up having way more than enough but that is going to actually just about do it for this episode of the Minecraft guide everybody I hope you guys enjoyed
