In this video, I'm going to challenge myself to survive 100 days on this island in Hardcore Minecraft. Despite having limited resources, my goal is to transform the entire island into the ultimate survival base. Kicking it off on
00:14
Speaker A
day one, I spawned on this weird sandy area just beside the island. So, after collecting some sugar cane, I went over to the actual mainland and chopped down my first tree. Using the wood, I crafted my first wooden pickaxe and then dug
00:26
Speaker A
down to get some cobblestone. With the cobble, I crafted all of the basic tools that we need, as well as a furnace. I also stumbled upon some iron while digging, so I went back with my upgraded pickaxe to
00:36
Speaker A
gather it up. After smelting it down, I made some shears and then went looking for some sheep. I really want to get some wool so that I can make a bed and sleep the night away. I only found one sheep, so
00:47
Speaker A
while I waited for it to grow its wool back, I continued exploring the island. I spotted a shipwreck just off the coast, so I crafted a boat and made my way over to gather the loot. I found more iron,
00:58
Speaker A
coal, wheat, and potatoes, and a treasure map. After going pirate mode, I made my way back to the island and sheared the sheep again, which luckily gave me two wool, so I have enough to make a bed now.
01:08
Speaker A
I was getting hungry at this point, so I made some bread with the wheat that we found and then slept away the first night. I began day two by making some chests for my items and then went
01:18
Speaker A
looking for the buried treasure using the map that we found. Funnily enough, it ended up being right beside where we spawned, and it did have pretty good loot, but I really would have loved to get some diamonds. But oh well, what are you
01:29
Speaker A
going to do? Before heading back to the island, I wanted to reveal the rest of the map because, for some reason, leaving them unexplored just kind of bothers me. While doing so, I stumbled upon another shipwreck where I found moss blocks, a
01:41
Speaker A
bunch more iron, some armor templates, and another treasure map. Sadly, the treasure map was for the same one that we already found, so I continued revealing the rest of the maps and then went back home. Back at the island, I unloaded all of my items
01:53
Speaker A
and then crafted a full set of iron tools, as well as an iron helmet and shield. I spent some time cutting down trees and then finished off the day by setting up a simple sugarcane farm, as well as a potato and wheat farm. On day
02:06
Speaker A
three, I went full lumberjack mode and spent the entire day cutting down trees to make room for builds. In the process, I got three and a half stacks of oak logs and close to a stack of birch logs, which
02:17
Speaker A
I'm sure are going to come in handy. I started off day four by crafting a bunch of fences and fence gates so that we can build two small animal pens. The larger of the two will be for cows, and the
02:27
Speaker A
smaller one for chickens. Conveniently, there were a couple of chickens close by, so I lured them over to the smaller pen and bred them. Next, I went looking for some cows, and I would have loved to bring the sheep over as well, but sadly
02:39
Speaker A
this wolf had other ideas. After grieving over the loss of our sheepy friend for a few moments, I carried on by bringing a couple of cows over to the pen and breeding them up. We're going to need a lot more building
02:52
Speaker A
blocks, so I started digging a quarry where we can gather a bunch of resources. It's looking like a pretty boring hole right now, but if we add more detail, I think we can get it looking pretty cool. I took a
03:03
Speaker A
short break from digging the quarry at the start of day five by expanding the sugarcane farm and breeding the cows and chickens. After that, it was back to digging and making the hole look natural. A lot of this cobblestone is temporary;
03:14
Speaker A
it's just all I kind of have to build with right now, so we'll switch it out with other blocks later. It's still looking pretty rough at the moment, but I put in a few pillars to look like it's
03:22
Speaker A
supporting the ceiling. I want to extend a staircase all the way down to diamond level, so I started digging further down. I went back up to the surface, but it was dark, and I didn't want to risk dying to
03:32
Speaker A
any mobs, so I spent the rest of the night digging further and further down, picking up any valuable resources that I found along the way. I went back up to the surface on day six and dropped off a
03:42
Speaker A
bunch of my items since my inventory was full. After that, I expanded the sugarcane farm and then checked on our crops as well as our animals. Heading back to the quarry, I started adding more details to the entrance like barrels and chests,
03:55
Speaker A
patches of coarse dirt, and more pillars. I want to mainly use coarse dirt for the ground, but I'm all out of gravel, so on day seven, I went to the ocean to gather some up. I also found some iron and lapis
04:06
Speaker A
while I was at it, which was a nice bonus. With a bunch of gravel obtained, I could now make more coarse dirt and begin replacing the rest of the ground. I really wish I had spruce slabs to use in
04:16
Speaker A
between the coarse dirt, but sadly there's no spruce trees on the island. Honestly, not having spruce wood might actually be the hardest part of this challenge for me. I figured granite slabs would work decently instead, so I gathered some up
04:28
Speaker A
and replaced the cobblestone slabs. The quarry is starting to look decent, but I'm not quite happy with it yet, so I continue detailing on day eight. I added more barrels into the wall, which I thought looked pretty cool, and then I
04:40
Speaker A
spent some time adding a bunch of texture variation into the walls, as well as using slabs to smooth out all of the hard edges. I used my shears to gather up some grass and then dotted it around the
04:50
Speaker A
outside of the entrance, as well as a bit inside. After messing around with things for a few more minutes, I was happy with how it was looking, so I decided to keep digging down until we reached diamond level.
05:00
Speaker A
I continued digging into day nine and ended up running into a trial chamber. I'd love to explore it, but I'm way undergeared right now, so I left it be for now and kept digging down. As I was digging down,
05:12
Speaker A
I found my first diamonds, which was awesome. I continued digging and stopped at Y 57 to do some strip mining. I was able to find a few more diamonds and then decided to craft a diamond pick since mining all of this deep slate with
05:25
Speaker A
an iron one is starting to drive me just a little bit insane. I spent the rest of the day mining, but sadly I wasn't able to find any more diamonds. However, I was able to gather a bunch of deep slate and
05:36
Speaker A
tough blocks, which is going to come in handy for some future builds. On day 10, I made my way back to the surface, and I placed stairs as I went so that it'll be easier to come down here next time. Back
05:46
Speaker A
at the top, I dropped off all of my items and then spent some time harvesting the sugar cane and crops. I expanded the sugarcane all the way along the coastline, and honestly, this is probably overkill, but at least once it all grows,
05:59
Speaker A
we should have more than enough paper for 15 bookshelves for our enchanting setup. We're also going to need leather to make bookshelves, so I bred the cows as well. I think it's finally time that we begin our starter
06:10
Speaker A
house, so I did some basic terraforming to make room for it and then began planning where I wanted the walls to be. With the first floor walls in place, I dug out a spot for the front door as
06:19
Speaker A
well as some windows. I continued working on the house on day 11 by building up some pillars for the second floor. After that, I spent some time planning out the shape of the roofline. I went for a
06:30
Speaker A
slate brick trim and then filled in the rest of the roof with oak wood. With the roof in place, I built up the chimney using cobblestone and then started replacing some of the deep slate in the first floor wall with oak logs. At the
06:42
Speaker A
start of day 13, I took a quick break from building to breed the cows and then I went hunting for some clay in the ocean so that we can make bricks. I started smelting the clay and then got
06:51
Speaker A
back to building. After contemplating what I should use for the walls on the second floor, I decided on stripped oak logs at the front and then for the sides I used a combination of diorite po...
07:04
Speaker A
of an odd mixture of blocks but honestly I think it kind of works with the build pallet of the House locked in now I got to work filling in the remaining walls on day 14 to give the house some
07:15
Speaker A
character I also built a small balcony at the back of the house overlooking the water as it started to rain I finished the chimney using Cobblestone and tough blocks at the top I placed a couple of campfires and surrounded them with Oak
07:28
Speaker A
trap doors to cap it off I used Cobblestone slabs it's a pretty simple design but I think it fits the house pretty well next I spent some time texturing the first floor walls with a variety of deep slate tough and
07:41
Speaker A
Cobblestone blocks our house is getting pretty close to being done now so I added the windows as well as the doors I started day 16 by breeding the cows and then got back to detailing the house by placing some buttons on the sides of the
07:54
Speaker A
logs and because I can't help myself I also added some texture variation into the roof using Birch stairs and cobbled deep slate next I made some flower pots and collected some leaves so that I could add some bushes in front of the
08:07
Speaker A
windows I really love how this adds some color to our house I removed the grass blocks behind the house to make room for a patch of coarse dirt in the process I had to get rid of the crop Farm but
08:18
Speaker A
that's all right since I want to make a bigger one soon anyways I finished detailing the back by adding a bit of Short Grass and then got to work creating a path leading from the house over to the Cory entrance I absolutely
08:30
Speaker A
love connecting my builds with paths it just makes the whole place feel so much more alive and to blend the path into the surrounding environment I used a bit of short grass after breeding the cows again on day 18 I got attacked by a
08:43
Speaker A
skeleton and my hearts actually got kind of low so I decided not to risk it and went inside to get started on the interior of the house first off I removed all of the grass blocks and then replaced them with Oak planks after that
08:55
Speaker A
I built a staircase so that we have a way to get to the second floor for the floor itself I built it using Birchwood and honestly I'm surprised that it doesn't look too bad I feel like not having access to Spruce Wood is really
09:08
Speaker A
forcing me to be more creative with my block choices speaking of blocks I'm almost completely out so on day 19 I made a shovel and then went down into the mines to gather more blocks while I was down here I also gathered iron so
09:22
Speaker A
that I could make more armor hopefully this will help us not get to shot by skeletons anymore which let's be honest is pretty embarrassing I spent the rest of the day strip mining and was able to find seven more diamonds which is great
09:34
Speaker A
on day 20 I went back to the surface and used those diamonds to craft a sword and axe it's really nice to have full diamond tools now I need more wood to finish the interior of our house so I
09:46
Speaker A
continued my deforestation project by removing another huge section of trees I think we should have all the materials we need now so I got back to building first I added a railing to the stairs using Oak trap doors so that we don't
09:59
Speaker A
accidentally fall down and then I got to work fixing up the ceiling after that I added some furnaces to this corner and then got to work detailing this wall by the window using a crafting table stone cutter and a bunch of barrels and for a
10:13
Speaker A
final touch I added a flower pot and Lantern this wall here was looking pretty boring so I used this very creepy new painting to fill out the space and then went to sleep while this villager stared me directly in the sole once the
10:26
Speaker A
nightmare was finally over I added a couple more windows in into the wall to make the space feel more open after decorating that wall I finished off the second floor by adding a couple of shelves to fill out the space moving
10:38
Speaker A
down to the first floor I added a crafting table and decorated pot beside the front entrance as the sun was beginning to set I heard a Wandering Trader outside and even though I couldn't see him I was still able to
10:50
Speaker A
trade with him for a Vine which will come in handy for making stuff like mossy cobblestone I also sacrificed the llamas for their leads and leather as I'm kind of desperate for resources on the island the next thing I added was a
11:02
Speaker A
carpet using lapis blocks since I don't really have any wool right now after adding a few more decorations I hid some lighting in the corner by the stairs using an indoor plant to finish off the room I added a painting above the bed
11:15
Speaker A
and then had the idea to display the treasure map that we found all the way back on day one last but not least I began moving all of my items inside and I'm organizing everything as I'm going so that it'll be easier to find items in
11:27
Speaker A
the future I finished sorting the in items on day 24 and it's super satisfying to see everything neatly put away the starter house now finished I was pumped to get started on our next project without wasting any time I began
11:41
Speaker A
prepping the area by doing some basic terraforming and harvesting all of the sugar cane along the coastline on day 25 I began constructing a large dock along the water using Oak slabs I decided not to build it completely straight as I
11:56
Speaker A
thought that'd be a bit boring so it took me some trial and error to get the shape right I finished getting the basic shape of the dock in place on Day 26 and then as I like to do I got totally
12:06
Speaker A
distracted terraforming the small Hillside all I was trying to do was smooth out the terrain as well as create a bit of a flat spot that we can use for future builds I got back to work on the
12:16
Speaker A
dock the following day by planning out where I wanted the pillars to go using dirt blocks once I was happy with the locations I built up pillars using oak logs and we still need some smaller docks that are actually stretching into
12:29
Speaker A
the water so I started building those next Once I knew where I wanted them to go I widened the docks to three blocks wide the diagonal ones look just a little bit goofy but overall I'm really happy with the main structure of our
12:42
Speaker A
dock I wanted to move on to adding more details but I was all out of oak wood so I spent the rest of the day cutting down more trees to detail the docks themselves I first extended fences all
12:53
Speaker A
the way down to the ocean floor to support them after that I created a small railing of sorts using o trap doors and for a bit of texture variation I mixed in a few Birch slabs for some final touches I added a barrel and chest
13:07
Speaker A
as well as a boat with one of the smaller docks done I got to work detailing the rest of course I ran out of wood again though so I cut down more trees on day 30 and then got back to
13:18
Speaker A
detailing I also mixed in some stripped Oak and birch logs into the surface of the dock to add more texture variation I'm quite limited with what blocks I have to build with right now but I thought this helped make it look less
13:29
Speaker A
like a giant blob of the oak plank texture to help fill out the space I added a bunch of barrels and chests scattered around the area and I also added some fenced sections just to add more variety and as the sun began to set
13:43
Speaker A
I finished the day by connecting the dock to our path system I'll probably add more details to the dock later but for now I'm happy to call it finished on the start of day 31 I set up a simple
13:54
Speaker A
vine farm using Oak fences and Oak planks after that I felt like making our M entrance look more in place so I created large Boulders surrounding it out of tough and Cobblestone blocks to create a lush Vibe I blended everything
14:08
Speaker A
together using oak leaves and Short Grass I spent the remainder of the day extending our path up the hill which is going to lead us to the location of our next build and that is going to be a
14:19
Speaker A
giant Wheat Farm I got to work marking out the perimeter using Cobblestone doing a bit of basic terraforming along the way to make sure that everything was looking good once I was happy with the shape I started building up the
14:31
Speaker A
Cobblestone walls a bit higher making use of slabs to add jogs and height differences which make the wall look a lot more natural I finished off the day by connecting our path to the entrance of the farm I continued building on day
14:43
Speaker A
33 by adding texture variation into the walls using deep slate and tough blocks my pickaxe was about to break so I made a pit stop at her house to make a new one with the last three diamonds that we
14:55
Speaker A
have after I finished adding all of the texture variation I dotted oak leaves as well as Short Grass all around the outside of the wall to give it a natural touch moving inside of the walls instead of just having one giant blob of wheat
15:08
Speaker A
filling the entire thing I used path blocks to divide it up into some different sections I then got to work adding water sources and tilling all of the dirt a lot of the water I was able to hide underneath of the walls which is
15:21
Speaker A
nice since it's out of sight and also isn't taking up any of our crop space to Traverse the two levels I put some slabs so that we don't accidentally trample any of our plans jumping up and down after tilling the rest of the ground on
15:34
Speaker A
day 35 I then planted all the wheat seeds that I currently have I had the idea to replace the oak trap doors on the dock with copper ones and I also added trap doors on top of all of the
15:44
Speaker A
pillars and I think it looks a lot better now it really helped add more color and break up all of the oak on Day 36 I decided to actually use the dock for once and take out a boat to explore
15:56
Speaker A
the ocean I spotted an ocean Monument but I'm still way undergeared so I stayed away I did find another shipwreck though which had some carrots I'm honestly super stoked to unlock another crop and we can also use these to breed
16:10
Speaker A
the pigs on our Island feeling excited I immediately went back home and planted the carrots in our new farm so that we can get some more while those grow I checked in on our cows and bred them again and to finish off the day I cut
16:23
Speaker A
down some trees as I'm constantly running out of wood whenever I want to build something so much so that I spent all of day 37 cutting down trees as well to all the tree huggers out there you may want to close your eyes as I ended
16:35
Speaker A
up cutting down every single tree except for this one that has a beehive on it as well as this large one by our starter house as I think it looks pretty cool don't worry though we'll add a lot of
16:45
Speaker A
trees back later now that I could see the terrain better I used this as an opportunity to do some basic terraforming all over the island I spent all of day 39 and 40 terraforming as well I did my best to smooth everything
16:59
Speaker A
out and get rid of any weird jogs that I was seeing unfortunately my shovel broke and I don't have any more dirt so I decided it was time for another mining trip considering that I don't have any more diamonds before heading down though
17:11
Speaker A
I killed the Stray cows that were roaming around since I'm almost out of food I also took a few minutes to do some other chores like expand the wheat carrot and Vine farms and then I also bred the cows again with that out of the
17:25
Speaker A
way I gathered everything that I thought we would need for our mining trip and then went down below I was able to find five more diamonds before running out of torches so I went up to a higher level
17:35
Speaker A
and stripped M for some coal I'm really low on a lot of resources because somehow it's stay 41 and I still haven't found a legit cave to explore which honestly is pretty frustrating after Gathering a bit more coal on day 42 I
17:49
Speaker A
went back down to diamond levels and continued to strip mine after finding a few more diamonds and crafting a new pickaxe I finally ran into a cave after dealing with this creeper and chicken jockey I went exploring I continued
18:03
Speaker A
mining on day 43 and was able to find more diamonds and while I had the opportunity I also gathered up enough obsidian for an enchanting table and nether portal I spent the rest of the day Gathering up all of the diamonds and
18:17
Speaker A
iron that I could find I ran out of torches again and was pretty desperate so I used some furnaces to turn my logs into charcoal so that I could make some more while I was making a pit stop I
18:27
Speaker A
also made a new Shield as I really don't want to risk this breaking while I'm in the mines now that we're geared up again I went on the hunt for even more iron and diamonds while mining I stumbled
18:38
Speaker A
upon a skeleton spawner that had pumpkin and melon seeds and it's really awesome to unlock even more crops and I did take the saddle and horse armor that were there too even though it's probably going to be useless I also took the
18:50
Speaker A
opportunity to mine all of the mossy cobblestone so that we can use it in our future builds after that I continued mining until I ran out of torches and food it was a pretty successful mining trip in the end I got 25 diamonds pretty
19:04
Speaker A
much a full stack of iron and a bunch of gold lapis and Redstone I went back up to the surface on day 45 and dropped off all of my items afterwards I did my chores Again by expanding the wheat and
19:16
Speaker A
carrot farms and breeding the cows finally it was time to get back to terraforming so I spent the rest of the day finishing off the top of the hill at the back of the island there was a sharp
19:27
Speaker A
drop off so I got to work building some some custom Cliffs to fill the Gap I went for a pretty simple block pallet of cobblestone tough and deep slate and then to tie everything together I dotted some oak leaves and short grass around
19:40
Speaker A
the area honestly I liked it so much that I got to work filling in this other gap that I found using the same building technique I finished the cliff up on day 47 and after a few final touches to the
19:52
Speaker A
terrain I'm feeling really happy with the shape of our Island now I wasn't 100% sure if this was worth all the time and effort efor but if we take a look at the before and after I think it's safe
20:03
Speaker A
to say that it was the crops had some time to grow while we did all the terraforming so I took some time to expand to the farm again I also collected all of the vines and then tore down the temporary vine farm as it's a
20:14
Speaker A
bit of an eyesore we might need to make another one later but since we got a lot of mossy cobblestone from the skeleton spawner we should be good for now I finished off the day by organizing my items and smelting down the iron from
20:26
Speaker A
our mining trip the next thing that I want to make as a Barn since I feel bad for our animals stuck in their boring pens after Gathering up all of the materials I thought I'd need I began to
20:36
Speaker A
plan out where I wanted the walls to go that's when I remembered I wanted to use some Moss blocks for this build so I took a quick pit stop to make some I bone Meed one of the Moss blocks that we
20:45
Speaker A
found on a shipwreck to make a bunch of it I continued building on day 49 and of course it started to rain but I pushed through and got a big chunk of the barn built up unfortunately I ran out of
20:56
Speaker A
diate though so we're going to have to gather up more so we can finish the roof on day 50 I went down into the Quarry and mined dight until my pickaxe was almost broken at that point I went up to
21:08
Speaker A
the surface to drop off all of the diorite as well as make a new pick since I was in the mining mood now I decided to just spend the rest of the day down here mining a bunch of blocks so that
21:17
Speaker A
hopefully we won't keep running out whenever I want to build something I also found more iron and coal while I was at it so that was a nice bonus to celebrate making it to the halfway point in the challenge it's time to go check
21:29
Speaker A
skin on my cats munchie is looking clueless as ever and mittens is enjoying her 10th nap of the day if you're enjoying the video so far please remember to subscribe and hit the like button as it really helps out the
21:40
Speaker A
Channel with a bunch of building blocks gathered up I went back to the surface and dropped off my items and then got back to building I finished the main exterior of the barn and it's really starting to shape up now my favorite
21:53
Speaker A
thing about the build is probably the Deep slate roof with the diorite trim I think it's a great combination one of the blocks that I want to decorate the barn with is hay bales so I gathered up a bunch of the wheat from our farm while
22:05
Speaker A
I was at it I also expanded the wheat into some of the other sections of the farm I stayed up too late so I started day 52 by killing some mobs and then got back to work adding some final details
22:15
Speaker A
to the barn first I added some hay bales to this corner as it was looking kind of bland for this big flat wall at the back I detailed it with decorated pots oak leaves and a bunch of flower pots with
22:27
Speaker A
saplings in them next I got to work adding some lanterns to light up the inside of the barn on the back wall I created a shelf using polished granite slabs and then detailed it with chests a lantern and hay bales using fences I
22:42
Speaker A
divided the inside into multiple pens for our animals on day 53 I finished the interior by replacing some of the ground with coarse dirt with the interior done it was finally time to bring our animals over so I started with the chickens
22:57
Speaker A
after bringing them to their new home home I got to work bringing the cows over which was a lot more difficult because of just how many there are I got most of them into the pen but I was
23:06
Speaker A
struggling with the last few so I had to sacrifice them for the cause honestly though I've been surviving on apples for like the past 10 days so it'll be nice to have some better food after removing all of the old pens I found a couple of
23:19
Speaker A
pigs and brought them to the barn as well with our barn finished I got to work connecting it to the rest of our builds with a path I thought a pond would fit perfectly in the gap between the paths so I got to work digging a
23:31
Speaker A
hole once I was happy with the shape I filled the entire thing with water and then added some grass and sugar cane around the perimeter for a pop of color and if you didn't know you can use string to stop sugarcane from growing
23:42
Speaker A
taller and I utilized that trick here to give the whole thing a more natural look as the sun was beginning to set I noticed that this area was quite dark so I placed a few lanterns along the dock
23:54
Speaker A
on day 55 I spent some time expanding both our wheat and carrot Farms as as well as adding some lanterns throughout the area I was able to get almost the entire thing filled in with crops there's just one small section of
24:06
Speaker A
carrots that needs to be filled in but I ran out speaking of running out I'm almost completely out of wood again so before that happens I thought it'd be smart to set up a simple tree farm I first placed rows of slabs seven blocks
24:18
Speaker A
above the ground these should hopefully stop the giant trees from growing which are a real pain to cut down while I was building a Wandering villager spawned so I checked out his trades I could have locked beetroot seeds but let's be
24:30
Speaker A
honest those are like kind of useless so I did what had to be done and removed him from the island the only way that I knew how after that little Interruption I finished off the farm by placing down
24:41
Speaker A
a bunch of saplings and with our tree farm finished I went over to the barn and ended the day by breeding the animals the next thing that I want to make is an enchanting house so I got to
24:52
Speaker A
work building it up on day 56 I'm getting really tired of mining everything so slow and my tools are breaking all the time so this is far overdue by the time I was done getting the walls and roof up it was already day
25:04
Speaker A
57 for some final touches to the exterior I added a door bushes Windows a small seating area and lanterns to light the whole thing up moving to the inside I got rid of all of the grass blocks and
25:18
Speaker A
replaced them with a Birchwood floor we're going to need a bunch of bookshelves for our enchanting setup so I started Gathering up all of the materials that we need we already have a bunch of sugar sugarcane from before so
25:30
Speaker A
it's pretty much just leather that we need I want to breed the cows one more time before we sacrifice them to the Bookshelf Gods so I harvested a bunch of Wheat and also filled in the last empty carrot patch while I was at it after
25:42
Speaker A
breeding the cows I did what had to be done and collected a bunch of leather using the leather I made tons of books and then crafted 15 bookshelves while I was at it I also crafted the actual enchanting table as well we should have
25:56
Speaker A
everything that we need now so I got to work placing everything down inside of our enchanting house it's pretty cozy in here but we can still get level 30 enchants with this setup so we're all good for some extra detail I put some
26:08
Speaker A
flower pots on top of the bookshelves I also added a grind Stone as well as a bunch of chests for storage on either side of the house and it took me pretty much all of the iron that I have but I
26:20
Speaker A
also made an anvil since I have 30 levels I decided to enchant my pickaxe and ended up getting Fortune 2 and Unbreaking 3 it's not the best but at least it'll help us get more diamonds when we find them I spent the remainder
26:32
Speaker A
of the day connecting the house to the rest of our builds with a path on day 59 I also added a path leading to the seating area behind the house to blend everything together I used bone meal to
26:44
Speaker A
add grass and flowers I did remove most of the Tall Grass though as I don't want the area to look too overgrown this side of the island is really starting to shape up and I think we can fill out the
26:54
Speaker A
rest of the space using a bunch of trees I'll most likely add a few more details here and there but I'm feeling really happy with how it's looking right now I did feel like this one section of the
27:05
Speaker A
dock was looking a bit out of place though so I decided to just remove it most of the oak trees in our tree farm had grown so I started day 60 by chopping them all down weirdly none of
27:15
Speaker A
the Birch ones grew so I think I'll need to rework those at some point to get them working after cutting down the trees I spent some time organizing my items because my inventory is an absolute mess right now once my items
27:28
Speaker A
were all NE put away I harvested a bunch of Wheat and then used water bottles to create mud blocks combining the wheat and mud I was able to make some packed mud which I'll need for my next build
27:39
Speaker A
and that build is going to be a boat I mean come on we can't build a giant dock but not make any boats I made it primarily out of Birchwood just so that it would contrast the oak dock a little
27:50
Speaker A
bit and for the sale I used diorite walls similar to this design that I found by SV gravity I don't really build boats too often so I'm actually quite happy with how this one turned out for a final little detail I placed some
28:03
Speaker A
ladders on the side which honestly helped a lot after finishing the boat I noticed that the birch trees still hadn't grown so I removed the slabs above them and hopefully that'll fix it on day 62 I went down into the Quarry
28:17
Speaker A
and used Moss blocks and bone meal to collect an aelia I used it to make an aelia tree and then collected all of the leaves so that we can use them for future builds I also went back down into
28:27
Speaker A
the mine and collected the Moss which I then used to add even more vegetation around the Quarry entrance after that little distraction I spent the rest of the day terraforming the hillside to make room for our next build since we
28:40
Speaker A
found pumpkin and melon seeds in the skeleton spawner all the way back on day 44 I think it's finally time that we make a dedicated farm for them after doing a bit more terraforming on day 63 I first planned out the perimeter of the
28:53
Speaker A
farm using Oak slabs with that in place I then divided the area up into two white sections again using slabs to hydrate the farm I waterlogged a bunch of the slabs and then created a more decorative trim using trap doors I then
29:08
Speaker A
added rows of fences on top of the slabs to further divide up the different sections after tilling the ground I planted all of the melon and pumpkin seeds that I have it's a pretty simple build but once the crops grow and add a
29:21
Speaker A
pop of color I think it's going to look really nice with the farm done for the time being I connected it to our pathway system the same way that I've been doing with all of our builds while doing all
29:32
Speaker A
of this building our trees had time to grow so I cut them all down on day 65 and I'm happy to say that the birch trees finally grew after cutting down all the trees I started Gathering up all
29:42
Speaker A
the materials we're going to need for our next build it looks like I'm going to need some more tough blocks though so I guess it's time for another trip down into the mines I gathered a bunch of tough on day 66 and even found a few
29:54
Speaker A
more diamonds while I was at it since I was down here I also did a bit of strip Mining and ended up finding even more diamonds after heading back to the surface I dropped off my items and then
30:05
Speaker A
crafted a full set of diamond armor I mean hey it only took us 67 days but we're looking really snazzy now I'm back up to level 30 again so I Enchanted my Axe and ended up getting silk touch
30:17
Speaker A
efficiency 4 and Unbreaking 3 not too bad at all I spent the rest of the day crafting all of the blocks that we'll need for our next build as well as expanding the melons since a couple grew on on day 68 I started building a house
30:31
Speaker A
that I want to hide a vine farm in am I really going to use this vine farm that much probably not but I want an excuse to build a cool house and that's the best that I could come up with and I've
30:41
Speaker A
been calling it a house but honestly it's going to be more like a mini castle I built the main structure out of a bunch of different tough Stone and Cobblestone blocks then for the second floor I tried to incorporate a lot more
30:53
Speaker A
Moss as I felt like it fit the theme of a vine farm quite well with the exterior fin finished I got to work inside by first replacing the ground with Birch planks I'm keeping the interior really simple since I want to leave space to
31:06
Speaker A
grow Vines but I did add a ladder to get up to the second floor I want to store all of the vines up here after we collect them so I got to work detailing the room by first fixing up the ceiling
31:16
Speaker A
and adding a few lanterns to fill out the rest of the space I just used a bunch of barrels and chests we can also access the walkway that goes around the build from here and it's really cool to
31:27
Speaker A
look down at all of our builds builds to finish the interior I spammed Vines all over the walls on the first floor they should spread Down the Walls and then we can collect them whenever we need them the build wouldn't be complete unless we
31:39
Speaker A
connected it to our path system of course so I spent a few minutes putting that together after that I checked in on our pumpkin and melon farm and was almost able to get the whole thing filled in to end off the day I used bone
31:51
Speaker A
meal to add more Greenery around our builds as well as help fill in some of the empty spaces on day 71 a wander Trader spawned and I bought some dripstone off of him that we can possibly use to set up a lava Farm
32:04
Speaker A
that's a future project though because right now I want to build up a sugar cane Farm I set up some simple rows bordered by path blocks and then hid water using Oak slabs I planted all of the sugar cane and then got to work
32:17
Speaker A
building a path leading to the farm and since it's kind of on this lower part of the hill I had to build a small staircase leading down to it after finishing the path on Day 72 I got the
32:28
Speaker A
rest of the pumpkin and melon farms filled in and then cut down all of the trees continuing with a few other chores I harvested some wheat and then checked in on our animals since it's been a while since we've seen them plus it's
32:40
Speaker A
always a good time spamming chicken eggs at the wall and seeing the baby chicks go flying we're quickly approaching day 100 so I need to lock in if I'm going to be able to fill our entire island with
32:50
Speaker A
builds so after crafting up a bunch of materials I got to work building a watchtower on the side of the island I started by creating a strong Foundation using a variety of tough deep slate and Cobblestone blocks on top of that I made
33:04
Speaker A
a wooden Tower with an open area underneath it where we'll have a 360° view of the Island and Ocean the outside finished I got to work on the interior by first adding a door and then putting in a floor using Oak slabs we of course
33:19
Speaker A
need an actual way to get to the top of the tower so I added a pillar of oak logs with ladders on the side of it now that we have an easy way to get to the top I added a lantern to light up the
33:29
Speaker A
lookout area and then took a quick break to soak up the sunset on the start of day 76 I finished the build by adding a pathway leading to the entrance after that I decided to fill out this empty
33:41
Speaker A
space by the dock with dried kelp blocks and melons I like how this also creates some storytelling like people are delivering Goods to the island in preparation for my next build I tore down the tree farm as this is where I
33:54
Speaker A
want to build my nether portal but of course we can't just build build some basic portal so I got to work putting together a platform that I can sit on top of I was inspired by the Aztec Pyramids that you can find in Mexico to
34:07
Speaker A
add a bit of color I used the flowering aelia leaves that we got back on day 62 after adding the portal itself I lit it up with some flint and steel but I'm going to hold off on going inside for
34:18
Speaker A
the time being as I want to gear up more so to procrastinate going into the scary nether I did what I do best and created a path leading to the portal after that I checked checked in on the bee nest
34:29
Speaker A
that we preserved a while back but I think all of the bees have since disappeared I still broke it with my silk touch Axe and moved it over to the large tree beside our starter house who knows maybe a miracle will occur and
34:41
Speaker A
some bees will appear I spent the rest of the day planting trees all over the island which would help it feel a lot more Lush and alive on day 79 it was finally time to face my fears so I
34:52
Speaker A
grabbed everything I thought I would need made some gold armor and went into The Nether and of course I got one of the worst spawns ever right in the middle of a Basalt Delta biome after fighting off magma cubes and having a
35:04
Speaker A
close call with a gast I finally made my way to safer ground I spent a good amount of time mining quartz as it's a really easy way to get a bunch of XP I also gathered up a bit of Glowstone so
35:15
Speaker A
that we can use it around our base I continued exploring and found a Crimson Forest so I collected a bunch of wood fungus and Roots which will be fun to decorate with I was hoping to find a Bastion or Fortress but I didn't have
35:29
Speaker A
any luck so I went back to mining quartz and got even more XP on day 81 I decided to not push my luck any further so I carefully made my way back to the portal and went home since I have a bunch of
35:41
Speaker A
levels now I Enchanted every single piece of my armor as well as my sword the best enchants that I got were probably feather falling four on my boots and looting three on my sword I'm in the mood for more building but I need
35:54
Speaker A
to gather some materials first first off I hopped back into the the nether to grab some lava to use as fuel after that I collected some clay from the bottom of the ocean that we can smelt into bricks
36:05
Speaker A
using the lava that we got we're also going to need a bunch of aelas so I used Moss blocks and bone meal to gather a bunch up on day 83 I continued Gathering building materials such as sand for
36:17
Speaker A
Sandstone stripped birch logs and flower pots after getting the last of the materials I need on day 84 I finally got started on our next build I want to create a map of our Island so I think it'd be fun to have a house where we can
36:32
Speaker A
display it I started off with a foundation made of tough blocks and then built up pillars around it using oak logs for the second floor I used a combination of birch and Sandstone blocks as I think they go pretty well
36:45
Speaker A
together for the roof I went for a diorite trim and then filled in the rest with a combination of deep slate blocks for some final details I added lanterns to light up the area as well as a bunch
36:55
Speaker A
of vegetation using aelas flower pots and leaves with the exterior finished I of course had to connect the build with a path and then I began prepping the interior by removing all of the grass blocks this was the perfect excuse to
37:09
Speaker A
use the blocks that we got from the nether so I used stripped Crimson stems to create the floor and for just a bit of texture variation I also mixed in a bit of the Crimson planks for the ceiling I used quartz which is a little
37:22
Speaker A
bit bright but I actually kind of dig it after adding a ladder for access to the second floor I used some lanterns to light up the room for some final touches to the main floor I added a planter box
37:34
Speaker A
random storage and a small table I'm ready to display a map of our Island inside of the house but I need more iron to craft Maps so it's time for a trip down into the mines after finding a bit
37:45
Speaker A
of iron I stumbled upon a mine which eventually led me into a mine shaft I gathered all of the loot that I could find and even got more diamonds while I was at it the good luck didn't stop
37:56
Speaker A
there though as I also found a spider spawner where I found even more resources and I couldn't help myself so I continued exploring on day 89 and found even more diamonds we still have a lot to do before day 100 so I figured I
38:10
Speaker A
better not get too carried away and made my way back to the surface I was able to get close to a full stack of iron 17 diamonds and a bunch of other loot after smelting down the iron I used it to
38:21
Speaker A
craft some maps it turns out that our Island will perfectly fit inside of two maps which is actually really nice however I don't love that the weird Sandy area that we spawned on shows up on the map so I want to get rid of it to
38:34
Speaker A
make my life easier I decided to do some enchanting as I still just have my regular diamond shovel the first shovel I Enchanted only gave me Unbreaking three which is nice but obviously not really helpful for digging faster so I
38:48
Speaker A
Enchanted another one and got Fortune 2 efficiency 3 and Unbreaking 3 still not the best but way better so I'll take it with a better shovel obtained our I removed all of the sand and then updated the map I think it looks so much better
39:02
Speaker A
now it took a while but we can finally display our map in the house that we made for it our island is looking super cool from a bird's eyee perspective the second floor of this house still needs some love so I got started on its
39:14
Speaker A
interior by building the ceiling with that in place I built a seating area using Crimson stairs and extinguished campfires to add some Greenery I created plants using aelia leaves I dotted a few barrels and chis bookshelves around which really helped fill out the space
39:30
Speaker A
more and then for this last empty area in the middle of the room I made a planter box with Crimson roots in it it's pretty simple but I'm really happy with how the interior of this house turned out especially because we have a
39:42
Speaker A
dedicated spot for a map of our Island now with the house finished I think it's finally time that we take on the trial chamber that we found all the way back on Day N I've never explored one of
39:52
Speaker A
these before so I gathered everything I could possibly think of that I might need and then went down into the m to find it again I began exploring and fought off countless mobs and collected a bunch of really cool loot I continued
40:05
Speaker A
into Day 94 and honestly I was having a lot of fun and probably could have stayed down here until the 100 days were up but there is still some work that needs to be done on the island so I went
40:14
Speaker A
back to the surface I'm going to do a tour of the island on day 100 so I want it to look as good as it possibly can so after putting away all my Loot on day 95 I got to work adding grass all over the
40:26
Speaker A
island using bone meal it might not seem like much but this is really going to help the entire Island look a lot more put together and Lush luckily I can make tons of bone meal from the bones we got
40:37
Speaker A
down in the trial chamber so that actually worked out really well by the time I was done the sun was already beginning to set so I used the remainder of the day to replace the Torches around our pumpkin and melon farm with
40:49
Speaker A
Glowstone I really don't like having torches all over the place so I think this makes it look a lot cleaner the island is looking really green from all of the bone meal which is awesome but it could use some color so I started day 96
41:01
Speaker A
by adding small flower patches all over the island I also used Moss blocks and Moss carpet to add even more variety to the terrain especially in the areas where we have paths carved into the hillsides as I feel like it helps blend
41:14
Speaker A
them into the environment better after adding more moss on day 97 I went down into the mine to grow aelas which I then planted in front of our starter house I want to upgrade our path by mixing in
41:26
Speaker A
some packed mud so I harvested some wheat and converted dirt into mud blocks so that I could craft some with some packed mud obtained I then got to work adding it into our Pathways we don't have much so I'm using it quite
41:39
Speaker A
sparingly I continued into day 98 and also started incorporating just a little bit of granite as well my hope is that this will make the granite slabs that we used for the slopes not stand out so much with the path looking super snazzy
41:53
Speaker A
I went around looking for other ways to polish the look of the island I noticed a tree was kind of encroaching onto our nether portal so I started removing it of course I got interrupted by some pillagers and lowkey my health got kind
42:05
Speaker A
of low when I was killing them I seriously got scared for a second that I was going to die on day 98 it was all good though I finished cutting down the tree and then moved it over a couple of
42:14
Speaker A
blocks it's a lot less in the way here the last thing that I did on day 98 was replace my boring white bed for this cool green one that I found down in the trial Chambers on day 99 I went into the
42:27
Speaker A
mine again to make more aelas once I had a few I used them to detail this hill by our Watchtower as I felt it was still looking kind of bland I spent the remainder of the day bone meing any
42:38
Speaker A
remaining empty spaces that I spotted with our Island looking really put together I ended off the day by organizing my items in preparation to tour the island all right here we are on day 100 to tour our Island and we're
42:52
Speaker A
going to have to be a little bit fast because we built so much stuff in this world I think we'll just start from one side of the island and work our way over to the other end so on this side is our
43:03
Speaker A
enchanting house pretty simple in here but it has everything that we need so honestly I'm pretty happy with it and then beside our enchanting house is our barn I really love how the roof came out on this one especially just like
43:17
Speaker A
incorporating just a tiny bit of the birch logs it looks really cool really happy with it we have our little Pond here pretty simple I probably should have put some bone meal or something in the bottom there but oh well over here
43:29
Speaker A
is our little boat such a cute little just simple design I'm really actually happy with how this came out don't often build boats and then over here is our starter house I just went for a really simple starter house for this world we
43:44
Speaker A
didn't really need anything too crazy up here is all of our storage furnaces like we seriously did all 100 Days with just four furnaces it was all good all we needed we can check out our quy next I
43:56
Speaker A
guess it's pretty simple but I'm happy with it I really like how the boulders turned out and then we have these like you know supports holding up the actual ceiling and then this is where we went down to you know make all of our moss
44:08
Speaker A
and get all of our diamonds all of that good stuff I'm pretty happy with how this portal came out I maybe could have made this entire thing bigger done more than just a regular size portal but overall I'm really happy with the you
44:20
Speaker A
know just shape and the vibe of it over here is our wheat and carrot farm so able to gather a lot of good stuff from here it looks super sad satisfying with like the different rows over here is our
44:31
Speaker A
map house where we are storing our map and I actually want to quickly update that together with you so this is what it's looking now we didn't really add any buildings but we did do all that you know terraforming added all that grass
44:43
Speaker A
so you can see it's just looking a little bit more filled in a little bit more Lush update this one too and yeah that's looking really cool I love just like the shape of this island and the layout that we came up with you can see
44:56
Speaker A
the docks on here it all just looks super cool I just I love it okay over here is our pumpkin and melon farm just pretty simple I mean I didn't really need pumpkins and melons for anything but just built the farm anyways to fill
45:08
Speaker A
out the space over here is our vine farm that I actually haven't been in here since we first built it is our okay it's kind of working a lot of the stuff got blocked I don't know why this
45:20
Speaker A
isn't grown in here but anyways we have our Vines here you know good good good stuff and then we'll take the path over to our Watchtower actually before the Watchtower let's check out our sugar cane Farm again I built this never even
45:34
Speaker A
harvested the sugarcane once after but you know it's here if we want it and then last but not least let's check out the tower head inside here and go all the way up to the top we should have a
45:47
Speaker A
really good view of our Island from up here so let's just take a look over the edge we can see all of our Farms all of our builds and of course we have the dock down there I'm really happy with
45:59
Speaker A
just how much we were able to build in this world in such a short amount of time it's a pretty big area to get all filled in but we were able to do it and I'm really proud I really hope you
46:10
Speaker A
enjoyed this 100 day challenge as I had a really fun time transforming this island if you want to explore the island for yourself the World download is available on my patreon thank you so much for watching and happy building
