Zelk – I Survived 800 Days in HARDCORE Minecraft

All right so today we will be surviving 800 days in hardcore minecraft for this video i have some large but pretty simple goals in mind first i want to build my own custom mansion on the side of a mountain which is a project unlike anything i’ve ever done before and since we’ve already

Made one of every beacon in the game i figure it’s finally time to make a full netherite beacon so stick to the end to see how it all turns out and don’t forget to hit that like button subscribe and turn on notifications as it really helps the video out and helps

Youtube to promote the video more also check out my twitch i’ve been streaming there more often where i sometimes play other servers and host events with viewers like you so with all of that let’s just jump into it so the first thing i want to do is actually work on building

Our mansion and for that we need a ton of terracotta now i could have just crafted it but i figured i might as well go to the badlands and just mine it so i figured that would be much simpler and faster and i already knew where the badlands were because i’ve

Already found every biome in the game so i really quickly just went ahead and mined all of this red and yellow terracotta as i kind of wanted to theme it with the savannah so red and yellow seemed to work best for that also as i was leaving i spotted his

Mine shaft so i flew over found this chest hoping for an enchanted golden apple but sadly not you know i was hoping i would just get really lucky and you know i mean i figured it was worth the shot and uh oh my goodness okay you wish you had luck like me don’t

You once i got back home i also started working on using bone meal on some acacia trees because we obviously needed an absolute ton of acacia wood my process wasn’t exactly efficient just randomly placing down these saplings but yeah it did get more efficient in the future for now i just wanted a

Little bit of a case you would though to get us started and i kind of forgot to record it i don’t know how but this is the advanced form that i made it was a lot more simple and we could easily organize our acacia trees just simply

One block apart so place all of those down bone meal to all of those and got to work on breaking them it took quite a while over an entire day a little bit longer than i thought it would just bind some trees but hey this gave us all the acacia wood that we

Needed and after all of that this is all the supplies we ended up with and believe it or not we are still actually going to need more terra cotta in the future this was just the bare minimum to get us started so with that i went

Over to the mountain and finally found a spot where i actually wanted to put my mansion but first this entire area kind of needed to be cleaned up a little bit i had to clear all of the grass and the trees and i wanted to also flatten out

This land a little bit and then flatten off the side of the mountain as that was gonna make it a lot easier to build up next to it and once we cleaned all of that up we were pretty much ready to go i decided i was just gonna start with

One small kind of addition to the mansion on the right side here and then we could simply just expand onwards from that so once i finally figured out a design that i liked i grabbed all of the supplies that i needed and we got to work

Building this only took a couple of days but i already had the practice necessary to build this so overall pretty simple And here is how it all turned out overall i was really happy with this we have a nice little garden on the top and you know nice little display and on the inside it’s all nice and decorated got some beds here got some storage a bunch of random blocks

And i have to say i really like how it turned out it was really simple but i really like it and considering i am a terrible builder i thought this was pretty good for something that i actually built myself now all i have to do is just

Expand this all around the mountain and go up to a second level and build a second level all the way around the mountain and i just build like some third levels uh here and there you know i thought that would probably look pretty nice it took me quite a few hours to

Actually get ready to build all this i actually initially built this on a separate world in a creative world to figure out how i liked it and how i wanted it to be i then had to use a mod to figure out the exact amount of supplies that i needed

And then displayed a hologram in this world so that way i could place all of the blocks and actually get this mansion in my survival world and as you can see we literally need thousands and thousands of locks for this mansion so we got to work on the first layer first of

All and i tried to sleep as much as possible because i didn’t really have much lighting around here and i didn’t want mobs to spawn so that’s why i did all of that and we still had to clear out chunks of this mountain in order to fit everything

But overall it wasn’t too terribly difficult of a build it was just so insanely tedious because of the thousands of blocks that were required but after quite a number of days we’ve finally got it all built and mostly decorated And overall this is how it all turned out and i have to say i think this looks absolutely amazing obviously it’s not the best thing in the world but for me i’ve never built anything even remotely like this ever before in my life so for someone like me i

Think this looks really good i’m not really going to give you guys too much of a tour right now because i’ve still yet to decorate much of any of the inside at all and there’s still not any proper lighting in here so i’m going to decorate it in the

Future and once i fully decorate it and the inside’s all done then i will give you a proper tour of the inside so stick around for that i also want to decorate the outside you know make it all look really really nice but for now having this just in the background

Of my base i think looks absolutely amazing and i love how it looks next i decided to actually gather all of the supplies from my automated farms because while we were building that they piled up so massively i literally have more iron than i can even comprehend what to do with it is

So much at this point i also realized i’ve forgotten to grab all the food from my automated farm for a while now and it was completely full so usually when i get all this food i simply just trade it with villagers to get some emeralds i don’t really need

Emeralds right now but i don’t need the food so i figure i might as well do something with it so i just gathered all of that and i actually didn’t have enough farmers to trade all of this food with so once i made a few more farmers

From all my villagers we traded all of that and this is how many emeralds we ended up with quite a lie and again i don’t really need it but hey if i ever want to make a second emerald beacon in the future this will help me out next i decided to

Afk for some gunpowder for tnt to help me mine some netherrite once i got some of that i also needed a ton of sand obviously for the tnt so i went over to the sand biome and you know got the sand this is all pretty simple stuff you guys know how this

Works and from all of that we got this much tnt not as much as i thought i would get it’s not even half of one shulker box but it is at least a start i basically did it all over again and now we have one full shulker box of tnt so i went

Out to the nether where i already mined out a ton of netherite and i decided this is where we were going to start to use all of our tnt and the way you do it is you simply just mine a straight row of like 100 blocks you place down a bunch of tnt

You light it and you hope for the best obviously this tnt is way too close to each other i realize that now i eventually did refine the process to make my tnt a lot more efficient so i wasn’t wasting nearly as much tnt as i was right now

But from blowing all of that up we did manage to still find 15 asian debris which is still pretty good but definitely could have been better i eventually figured out that the best way to do this was to have four empty spaces in between each tnt and then have the tnt on the

Fifth block this still ignited the tnt in front of it without wasting too much of the explosion radius i also eventually realized i shouldn’t put tnt in a basalt delta as basalt has a really high blast resistance meaning i’m not uncovering nearly as many blocks so yeah like i said i

Eventually figured all these things out and made my tnt exploding way way more efficient to get way more ancient debris and after using about half of the tnt from that shulker box this is what we managed to explode and believe it or not this is merely just a very small fraction of

What is yet to come for this poor mine shaft i also needed a ton of gold because obviously you have to combine ancient debris with gold to get the actual netherite ingot but lucky for me in my previous 100 days which if you haven’t watched you definitely should i made this

Automated piglet farm which is an insane way of getting gold you can literally get a stack of gold blocks in less than an hour from this thing so i went over there and i just hung out for like a couple of minutes to get some gold i figured that seven blocks would be

Enough but it turns out it wasn’t so i had to go back for a couple of minutes and get just a bit more gold but we crafted that all together for a total of 40 netherite ingots which turns into four netherright blocks so yeah you need what 164 blocks for a full beacon

So uh yeah four down 160 to go so i quickly grabbed a bit more gunpowder to make a little bit more tnt we went back to the nether and we were gonna finish up using all of the tnt that we had left in this shulker box and the process was pretty much

Exactly the same before except i did further refine it what i decided to do is actually run up and down these rows individually lighting all of the tnt because i kept on having a problem where the tnt wouldn’t light so i’d have to manually run up there and start it

Jumping all around the terrain and it would slow me down so if i just ran up and down the mine shafts lighting all this tnt manually it just went by so much faster sure i did have to go through a lot of flint and steel and a ton of food but it

Wasn’t that big of a deal after it was all said and done i also had to cover up all this lava because sometimes the lava would cover ancient debris and then we were able to mine it all up so overall just a really really simple process just incredibly tedious and once

We finished using all of that tnt this is what we mind everything to the right we already did everything you are watching right now is brand new with all of that tnt i had in my shulker box so yeah we more than doubled what we already

Exploded out and once i was done using all of that tnt this is what we got pretty similar to the amount we got before which is not too surprising considering it was basically the same amount of tnt used so i quickly went over back to my piglet

Farm to get all the extra gold necessary to make those netherrite ingots put it all together and we now had a total of nine netherite blocks which is enough for the bare minimum one level of a beacon the problem is i didn’t have an extra beacon but i

Already have a wither skeleton farm so i simply just flew out to that it isn’t optimized as best as possible i do have to fly up to the roof to make the skeletons actually spawn but is still incredibly fast way faster than just trying to kill wither skeletons manually

Within a few minutes we have the three wither skulls that we needed made our way back home and i decided to actually spawn this wither in the end and that’s when i realized oh yeah i totally forgot i actually had a full gold beacon in the end i was wondering where all my

Gold went i just kept the beacon there so i could have my strength to help me fight the wither i was kind of bad at fighting this wither i actually took quite a lot of damage way more than usual but we still took it out easily nonetheless and i decided that we were

Actually going to mine this gold beacon to bring it back home with me because we were gonna need that to help craft the rest of the netherite ingots that we had i wanted to put this level 1 beacon down somewhere but the problem was i was

Going to be decorating the front of this mansion so i couldn’t really put it out front so i decided we were going to go up to the roof of my mansion and simply place this thing up on the roof where it is out of the way but still activated and you know doing

Something so there you go level one beacon only what like 155 more to go but we can do it right but for now i wanted to take a quick break from that and actually decorate my mansion before i could do that though i wanted to expand the wall around my base

As you can see this just keeps all of the mobs out so i don’t have to deal with any of them while i’m working around my base at night i looped it around the mansion and then we also took a ton of glowstone to place in the ground

To prevent any mobs from spawning inside the wall so there you go now that i had that moved i could finally decorate both the inside and outside of my mansion so i got to work on that quickly just placing a sort of a decorative wall around the

Mansion a bit here it’s not really necessary to keep anything out i just thought it looked kind of nice and i decided heck with it we’re just gonna throw a really quick fountain right in front of this added just some simple grass and trees all around the mansion to look at real nice

And then worked on decorating the inside and this is how it all turned out and again like i said i absolutely love this thing easily the best thing i have ever built in my entire minecraft career and now that it’s all decorated i can finally actually give you guys a quick

Tour so as you can see right out front here we have our stable with a few horses that i dragged out here and we’re just gonna go into the part where you guys have already seen all of this is the same as you can see i moved the staircase over

So that way we can have our hallway into the main area here we have our jail here because why not a mansion needs a jail right i figured that would be nice i don’t know and we also have this room with a ton of beds i’m gonna put villagers in there eventually so

This is like a true mansion with villagers we also have our dining room kitchen here nice little cupboards and kitchen tables stuff like that i thought it looked pretty cool and then we also have an alternate door and some storage under the staircase going upstairs i put a nice little bench

On the balcony here so that way you can sit and look out at the base and a full level 30 enchanter up here because i didn’t know what else to put there so i figured yeah level 30 enchanter we have to go around this quick little hallway to get

To the other end of the mansion and in this room it’s basically just like an office we have some art on the wall a nice little computer right there and then down in this room this is right off of the garden from my initial part of the build so i figured this was

Going to be you know outdoorsy garden themed we got some garden supplies here and uh this is uh this is fred yeah he sells flowers at the flower shop in the garden room so i figured that was nice we can also go up here which is the master bedroom i decided to keep

It really simple because i like bedrooms simple and open so yeah i have that this stupid cat kept getting in my way so i took care of them really quickly yeah the bedroom has a fish tank and a bed and that’s basically it because i mean what else could you

Possibly need from a bedroom and then finally this other staircase which leads to the final part of our mansion is actually just a uh scouts room i figured hey we probably need a scout to overlook our base you know what i mean a little sniper up top keep an eye on

Everything make sure it’s all good so i gave him a bed gave him a sink slash toilet and he’s good to go also on the roof i gave him a quick little sniper’s desk just that way he can hide up here you know he can hide in the trees amongst all of

The leaves and all of that you know just keep an eye on the base make sure everything is fine and i definitely felt a lot safer knowing that i had him looking out over me as you can see over there is our netherway beacon and we can actually finally break that

And put that down now that we’ve decorated the rest of the mansion i just decided to put it out front here right on display where everyone can see it there you go my mansion is finally fully built and decorated i love it i hope you guys

Love it too if you have any ideas on how i can possibly expand this more or decorate it better please let me know down in the comments but now i wanted to work on a better creeper farm to get even more gunpowder for this i needed a little bit more

Supply so i worked on getting the stone necessary to build this and we also needed a ridiculous amount of trapdoors so i went up to my tree farm just to get a ton of oak wood for all of these trapdoors but once we got all of our supplies

We were ready to go ahead and build this thing i built it over the oceans that way no mobs would be spawning below and the only mobs that could spawn were inside my actual trap itself and basically what was gonna happen is the creepers were going to spawn in these

Little rooms that i had designed and the wool carpets prevents any spiders from spawning and the trapdoors on top make it so that way only creepers can spawn in the rooms super simple and the more rooms you add the more creepers you get which means the more gunpowder

You get the reason why this is better is because i can actually use my looting sword to get more gunpowder rather than just relying on the creepers dying from something like a magma block it produces gunpowders so insanely fast and in the future like i said i could add more spawning rooms

On top of this to further increase the amount of gunpowder that we can get from this thing so i have all of this extra iron i also decided to build a full iron beacon right next to this thing to give myself strength so that way i could actually

One shot the creepers despite the fact that they weren’t taking any fall damage so that was also really nice and helped speed up the process a little bit so i’m gonna sit here for about 30 minutes and we’ll see how much gunpowder i got and 30 minutes later this is pretty much

What i got i think it may have been a little bit over 30 minutes i also added these grindstones in front because i got too close once and a creeper exploded and messed half of this up yeah the grindstones still make it so i can get close enough to attack them without

Getting too close so quite a lot more gunpowder is gained from this than the afk creeper farm i have from that however we were only able to get this much tnt which is not enough and it was like 2 am at this point and i really wanted to go to bed

But i had so many days left that i decided why don’t we just afk i said an alarm for five hours and i was gonna wake up in five hours and start recording again which sounded painful but i i you know the things i do for content

The things i do for you guys so i sat here afk for literally five hours just collecting gunpowder and after five hours this is what we got all of these extra empty spaces were literally just filled with things like strings and arrows and spider eyes so clearly we

Didn’t have the afk for the full five hours we could have filled the full double chests a lot faster or i just needed to add more chests but we now had a double chest and a half filled with gunpowder which should hopefully be enough to get a lot more

Ancient debris but yeah we’ll see i did have to mine a lot more sand and we were able to combine all of that for this much tnt not even one full shulker boxes worth of tnt this is the slowest part about all this actually using the tnt

Doesn’t take it out very long at all it’s just collecting all of the gunpowder to get the tnt that is the absolute slowest part of this entire thing but with all of that we went to the nether to use all this tnt and you see how the screen turns blue yeah

That’s because i’ve literally gone out of render distance and replay mod doesn’t know what to do when i’m out of render distance that is how long each of these rows are of tnt that we are exploding overall again like i said it’s not really that

Hard or takes that long at all to use the tnt it’s just the collecting the tnt that takes the longest yeah we got a pretty decent amount of asian debris but we still have a lot of tnt left so i’m gonna use all of this and i’ll check

Back in with you guys in just a minute and finally we used all of the tnt and i realized at this point i never actually showed you guys what this looks like before i mine the ancient debris and as you can see there is quite a lot

Of ancient debris on screen that you can see just right now and there is so much that isn’t even rendered yet off the screen and plus a ton of ancient debris is hidden in both being in the ceiling and the floor where you can’t initially see it also this zombie was

Here mysteriously i didn’t know zombies could spawn in the nether so that was interesting yeah killed him really quick and the first step before minding the ancient debris again like i said is actually clogging up all of the lava then collecting all of the obvious agent debris that you can see then scanning

Both the ceiling and the floor for any aging debris that i might have missed and once all of that was done this is how much tnt we got from a full shulker box worth and surprise surprise it’s basically the same amount of ancient debris that i got from my last

Shulker boxes worth of tnt who would have guessed that you get pretty much the same amount of ancient debris with the same amount of tnt and this right here is everything that we have exploded absolutely a massive chunk has been taken out of the nether literally millions of

Blocks have been blown away and just think about it guys right now we have about 20 netherite blocks we need 144 more and we’ve already blown away over a million blocks of netherrack so i went back home turned all of that into the netherright ingots and the netherright blocks and

As you can see yeah we got 10 from this combine that with the 9 that we got earlier that means we currently have a grand total of 19 another right blocks so i combined that with my other netherright and had to fill the rest in with

Iron and this is what we have gotten done so far this is taking way longer than i ever thought it was i thought i was easily gonna be able to in a hundred days get a full nether eye beacon i thought that was gonna be you know simple turns out no

It’s very tedious and takes a very very very very very very long time so since that we were pretty much out of days there was nothing left i could really do so i just decided to afk for these remaining days to get as much gunpowder as possible

So that way in the next 100 days we would definitely be able to actually get a full netherride beacon so be sure to subscribe and turn on notifications for the next 100 days as we will 100 be getting a full nether a beacon in the next 100 day video

But for now i need to close this out once i came back we are about halfway done on day 799 so there’s really only one thing left to do and that is kill the energy for yet another time again it’s a super simple process you guys have seen this literally like i

Don’t even know how many times at this point super simple this ender dragon was actually really weird and never perched the entire time i don’t know why some ender dragons don’t do that and don’t perch but yeah there you go killed the ender dragon uh i got it all of the xp

For some reason i definitely need uh more xp clearly because 125 levels definitely is not i went back home and we still had plenty of time left on day 799 so i figured heck with it we’re going back to the end to my enderman farm to go ahead and repair my tools with

Xp once i finished that we still had a couple minutes left on day 799 so i went and grabbed pongo my horse we went up to the top of the mountain and i sat with him for the final couple of minutes on day 799 to watch the final sliver of the sun disappear

I was gonna go back to my original house but i figured heck with that we’re taking pongo to the mansion we are gonna be sleeping like kings tonight if i spend that many days on this thing i’m definitely spending the night here to sleep and bring us officially to day

800. we have officially survived 800 days in hardcore minecraft i can’t believe how far i’ve come in this series and honestly you look at it and it doesn’t look like it advanced this far in this video i mean seriously pretty much 100 of what i did in this video

Is on screen right now these blocks of netherright in this mansion you wouldn’t believe how tedious and how long it took to do these two things but yeah um i enjoyed it i really like this mansion and i can’t wait to finish uh this beacon

So i hope you guys enjoyed it too if you did like subscribe notifications and i’ll see you in the next one
